WESTERN UNION TEL. CO.
GRANTS LOWER RATES
Nevada R. R. Commission RIia'
About General Reduction !

~ N December Is. 1909, the Rail
IL road Commission of Nevada
cited the Western Union Tel
| egraph Company to appear and show
cause why its rates charged for in
] estate telegraph service in Nevada
should not be reduced The Com
pany appeared before the Commits
sion on April /, 1910, being repre-
sented by A. H. May. Superintendent
of the Pacific Division OF the Com
pany After the hearing the case
was submitted to the Commission
for final consideration
After an exhaustive investigation
the Commission entered an order on
August 10. 1910, reducing the West
ern Union Telegraph Company's
rates heretofore charged at rate, on
day messages. OF 40 cents for the first
ten words and 3 cents for each addi-
tional word to 35 cents for the first
ten words and &c ents for each addi-
tionay word, and on night messages
a reduction from 80 and 2 cents to
Is and 2 cents
Further, where the rate was here
tofore 50 and 3 cents on day mes
sages, the same has been reduced to
40 and cents, and on night mes
sages a reduction of 40 and 3 cents
to 80 and cents.
Further, for all messages trans
mitted within radius OF 200 miles
maximum rate of Is and 2 cents
for day service and IS and | for night
service has been prescribed and all
of the above rates became effective
September 20, 1910.
Taking 2O-word messages as
average the following comparative
examples will indicate the effect of
the reductions.--.be between rpofnts III

cents or cut of l21z per cent
A day message from Carson City
or Reno to Tonopah or Goldfeld,
where the charge was formerly 20
cents. it is now only IS cents or a
cut of 2lH per cent.
| Further. the night service is to be
maintained under the new rates
which offers to business men and
| others a very economical letter ser
vice
Also the Commission found in its
investigation that the rates between
Carson City and Reno and other
Nevada points and Ely were exhor-
bitant and unreasonable by reason
of the fact that the Western Union
Telegraph Company did not oper-
ate beyond Cobre, while from Cobre
to Ely the business was transmitted
over an independent line owned and
operated by the Nevada Northern
Railway. thus resulting in combi-
nation of local or double charges at
Cobre. This matter was taken up
with the Western Union and the Ne
vada Northern Railway and by ne
gotiation the Commission has sue
ceeded in having the Western Union
take over. on an operating basis, the
said Nevada Northern Telegraph
line from Cobre to Ely which in the
future will insure to the public sin
gle through rate as prescribed by
the Commission between Ely and all
outside points in Nevada and East
ern and Western commercial points.
On business to and from Ely and
other Nevada points the readjust-
ments. by reason of the said consoli-
dation and reductions made by the.
Commis sinn~win = insafe average
saving OF from 40 to so per cent.
For example, on a day message of
20 words between Carson City or Re-
no and Ely where heretofore the
charge was $l.6O it is, under the new
regulations. only 20 cents.
The aforesaid readjustment Of tel
egraph rates will result in a saving
of many thousand dollars annually to
the people of Nevada.

must be given their ordinary sense

intended the Act to be in effect on

1909, appropriate language would
have been employed. The rule in re-
gard to compilation of time is that
when the computation is to be made
from an act done the day on which
the act was done must be included.
but when the computation is to be
made from the day itself and not
from the act done then the day on

cheapness Of products.
1t will insure efficient regulation
III the interest Of the public.
1t will eradicate the worst evils.
1t will prevent a monopoly.
1t will produce fair competition.
The message begins with discus
sion Of the Sherman antitrust law.
It reviews the decisions rendered by
the supreme court Of the United
States in connection with the con-
struction Of this law.
It specifically mentions the case
Of the United States VS.. the E. c.
Knight company. The president says
that owing to the narrow scope of
the pleadings Of counsel in this case,
the court was unable to take into
consideration the questions which
it ought to have been able to con-
slider, and that the court conseQuent-
ly was compelled to hold that the
sugar trust did not come within the
limits of the law.
This case, however, did not cover
combinations for purely manufact-
uring purposes. Later decisions
have constructed the law to cover
effectually almost every phase Of
industrial operations.
If these decisions are to be upheld
by the decisions to be handed down
later (the president does not refer
specifically to the Standard Oil and
tobacco trust prosecutions, but he
unquestionably has them in mind),
it will be the duty Of the executive
to proceed against many corpora
tions which are violating the statute.
The president says that while un-
der the common law, only contracts
between combinations would be
as in restraint of trade
which are unreasonable, practically
the same result has been attained
by the decisions of the court, which
has held that incidental and indirect
restraint is not inhibited.
He believes this to be proper. The
law, as it exists, is efficient to put
out Of business a vast number of
as they are now organ
lied. Under the circumstances he
does not consider any amendment
to the law really necessary.

Triumph OF A New Idea

About the quantity Of reading
matter furnished in the average
Sunday newspaper there is no rea-
son to compIain-unless it be on the
score Of oo-muchness but the
quality often leaves much to be de-
sired. The only shining and un-
qualified exception to this rule is
found in the unique Sunday Maga-
zine of the Chicago Record-Herald.
There is nothing else like it in the
whole range Of American Journal
ism. It is a real magazine that IS
regularly issued as a part OF the
Sunday paper. It is filled with first
class fiction. able articles, choice
pictures and wide range OF good
all by popular or really
famous authors and artists. When
writer's such as Conan Doyle, An
thony Hope, Jack London, seWell
Ford and Cyrus Townsend Brady
are counted among the contributors
to Sunday paper its triumph can
no longer be doubted.
The Sunday Magazine Of the Rec
ord Herald is far and away the best
literary treat offered TO newspaper

That Hetch-Hetchy Problem

Let US see if the opposition to the
proposed Hetch-IIetchv is justified
by the probable results.
In the first place the necessity for
such use is disputed. That is a
question which it is needless to ar
que. The authorities of San Fran
cisco, after exhaustive investigation,
have found the Tuolumne supply the
best available, and they rightly de-
sire that the water supply for so
great a center Of population shall be
the best that can be had. The pub
he IS bound to accept their opinion,
and the fact that the city is willing
TO incur the enormous expense of
bringing this water nearly 200 miles
is proof. Of its genuine belief that a
suitable supply cannot be had nearer
at hand. But whatever the facts in
this respect, it is still true that 9TH
er demands will soon arise-for irri-
cation, power, or other purposes
which will likewise have to be met
and satisfied. There is no way to
avoid the fact that these sources Of
supply will eventually become indis-
pensable IN a country where water
is so precious a commodity as it is in

den in the January Pacific Monthly.

IN addition to being great artist
whose work cannot help making an
appeal to the intellect, there is a
quality in Maud Powell's playing that
appeals directly to the heart, too. And
perhaps this human quality in her
playing was potent factor in getting
the audience so deeply absorbed IN her
art as it was last night. There is
much that is exquisite and elegant in
her playing, which combined with a
dominating energy and vitality, gives
a breadth to her art that is unusual
for woman and proclaims the true
note Of genius.
Under her facile execution the diff
fcult passages melted into charming
smoothness and beauty, and in the
bravu1a passages her execution was
characterized by absolute ease, and a
poise and repose that proclaimed her
mastery Of her art.

Law Is Violated

Bozeman, Montana, Dec. "a, '09
This is the season Of the year
when farmers should be wise. Il
they are not they may get stations
that cannot stand for public service
This Board has repeatedly given
warning and there are parties in
the state selling stations that can
not get licenses to stand for public
service.
L. NJ. Hartley Of Salem, Ia,
shipped six stations to Billings,
Montana, in violation Of the stallion
law. His agent, E. T. Maxis, plead
guilty and paid the fine assessed.
Two of these stations cannot stand
for public service in Montana. One
Of these stations is a French Draft,
ten years old, black in color, has q
star, and some white on the inside
of right hind foot. His name is Al
varez, registration number 10000,
weighs about | 800 pounds, is about
II hands high. and is chronic roar
er, that is, affected with laryngeal
hemiplegla, a disqualification men
toned in the Stallion Law Of 1909.
The other stallion is a Percheron,
four years old, bay in color, has
star and is smooth and chunky. His
name is Theophile Gauntier, regis
tration number 57,217, weighs about
1,750 pounds, is about 16a hands
high, and has a side bone on the
outside Of right front foot, also
mentioned as a disqualification for
public service in the Stallion Law Of
1909.
Prosecution IS pending against
other parties in the state and pros
pective buyers should look out for
and diseased horses, as
they may get stations that cannot
stand for public service. The aim
is to compel observance Of the law,
50 that Montana will not get the re-
fused unsound and diseased stations
from other states that have stallion
registration laws.
Persons knowing Of stations being
shipped to Montana will please mott

CORPORATION
MESSAGE
Congress To Have Chief Executives Views on
the Famous Sherman Antitrust Law.

Chicago, Jan. Sit is possible te
present the full details of the cor
poratIon message which Presiden,
Taft will send to Congress mex
Wednesday, says Washington
special to the Tribune. The message
also deals with the proposed amend
ments of the interstate commerce
law.
With respect to the corporations
the presidents views, summarized
are:
No amendment to the Sherman
antitrust law is necessary.
Many large corporations are viola.
ting the Sherman law.
It is the duty of the executive to
enforce the law, but if this be done
as is his intention, a panic or com
mercial chaos may be precipitated.
AS refuge for the large combin-
ations he recommends national
incorporation law.
He says the law should provide:
Voluntary incorporation.
Supervision by the bureau of cor
porations of such combinations as
secure national Incorporation.
Control by the bureau of corpora
tions of all issues of stocks and
bonds which shall be paid for in
cash, property or services.
Prohibition Of corporation to
own stock in competing corpora
ton.
Annual reports covering the fnan-
cial condition. the business organiza-
tions and corporate transactions of
the corporation.
The safeguarding Of business Sc
crets, while at the same time pro-
viding for the publication of all
facts so far as they may be in the
public interest.
The president will declare that,
in his opinion:
The law is constitutional.
It will not lead to any greater
Capitalization Of power.
1t will enable the large corporate
Of capital to operate
lawfully for their own economic ad-
vantage and to have a public stand
ing.
It will enable people to share in
