The Goldfield news. [volume] (Goldfield, Nev.) 1904-1911, 1910-10-08

ione'' for the interests, but states openly that in the event Of Renh
ican success the corporate tax rate will be kept down to pract;c.n.
and such control to be exercised over state and county nov
ernments that the people will be kept paying a continual toll to n.
political masters of the state. Railroad rates will be kept at N o.,
horbitant fgue; the corporation assessment figures will go down and
the tax rate go up. These re but some of the reasons why the cor
porations are fighting desperately for the election of George Nixon
I. L. Oddie. +. Z. Roberts and George Springmeyer.
None of the Democratic papers of the state have condoped
George Graham Rice. Should Rice or any other large interest come
into the state and actually mine and assist in the development of the
mining industry, that interest will be welcomed When it is appar
et that these operations re not honest these same papers will e1g
else their right of exposing this dishonesty, which right they have al
ways maintained and exercised.
When a great mining corporation pulls off a deal that appears to
he for the sole purpose of defrauding the state of thousands of dol.
lars in bullion taxes annually, these papers take up the matter
When it becomes known that a great corporation tries to influence
election and to coerce voters, the Democratic press of the state takes
ND the fight for the people. On the other hand, the Reno Gazette, the,
Carson News and the Goldfed Tribune damn whatever comes under
their displeasure save those things relating to the Nixon and Wing
field and Southern Pacific interests, and whenever a man or paper
lin the state dares to say anything derogatory to these interests, when.
ever a paper publishes anything relating to these interests that has
not first been approved by the Wingfeid and Nixon Censor, l@e
majesty has been committed.
The Goldfeld News, for instance, has printed hundreds of COL
,mns Of valuable information relating to the Goldfeld Consolidated
Mines company, and has been consistently one OF the best boosters
for that property. The News has never knocked" the Consolidated
or any other mine that is a mine in the state. And The News has
s,,,ouad this nolicv of working for the greater Goldfeld and for the
individual citizen of Goldfed from the time of its inception to the
present time, and will continue that policy, notwithstanding the con
slant effort of the Consolidated Mines company and It's president to
cripple The News and drive its proprietor and editor out OF the bust
ness life of the camp. The reason for tins anlmoslty Is that Inc News
has dared publish articles about the Consolidated that had not re-
oo;yad the approval of the Consolidated front office = because The
News has dared to criticize the pernicious activity OF the corporation
in local politics. and because The News, alone and unaided, took up
the fight of the employees of the Goldheld mines against nj company
store and the brass money system, whereby the wages OF the employees
were discounted at both ends under guise of actual benefit to them
The News has never had any connection with George Graham
Rice, financially or otherwise-has never had sympathy with lis
methods. The News has always reserved the right to crluclze hce
as the files of The News will show. When Rice conducts TAI and
square mining operations for the good of any part OF Nevada, Inc
News will give him just and due credit, s 1t has and does give 1he
Consolidated Mines company credit for having developed the greatest
oold mine in the world. When Rice, or the Consolidated, go contrary
to the laws, The News will give that fact due publicity, without lear
or favor.
But the attempts of the subsidized Republican press to make 1t
appear that Rice is financing the Democratic state campaign is 50
ridiculous that it is only creating a laugh over the state, and increases
the oenuine contempt in which the Gazette is held. The Gazete
CHARGES are making Democratic votes daily. Give us more OF tnem'
columns of them every day, Bre Morgan. Wed even lhahh yo'
If Won GOT out a few extra editions.
