Want the Tariff Revised.

Washington.-The Knights OF La
Dor of America at the close OF its
thirty-fourth annual convention here
Thursday decided to go to congress at
the coming session with a sweeping
demand for tariff revision. The blame
for the high cost of living is placed
by the organization solely upon the
tariff. Several of the delegates de-
clared that If the Democratic party
did not revise the tariff the high cost
Of living would lead to the formation
of a new party which would give its
chief attention to this feature.

1t is expected that the Truckee
river will furnish water enough to

Fernley and Wadsworth, while the
Carson will accommodate Fallon and
that district. According to esti-
mate, 200, 600 acre feet of water
will be spread over the surrounding

ROBBER RATES OF
THE RAILROADS

In the October number of Hamp-
tons Magazine, Charles Edward
Russell gives many instances of
unjust and arbitrary freight rates
and over charges by railroads.
"Fou can ship some kinds of
freight, he says, from American
port to Europen port and back for
the cost of moving the same freight
from a ship in San Pedro harbor
to Los Angeles. Twenty-Five miles.
The freight rate on iron from San
Pedro to Los Angeles is 81 a ton;
on other commodities it range.
from 1920 to IS a ton. In add
ton there is a wharfage charge Of
30 cents a ton.
"On some kinds of freight, and
including wharfage, the rate is
$3.50 a ton from a ship in San
Pedro harbor twenty-five miles
across to Los Angeles, and it is
$3.50 a ton from Antwerp to San
Pedro-l6,O 600 miles or thereabouts.
The present freight rates fro m
Sacramento, Cal, to Reno Nevada,
are higher than the cid days of
n,lths, bafOre the railroad was
built, when all freight must be
dragged over the mountain by
mule and OK teams.
Yet the Southern Pacific, il
must be confessed" concludes Mr..
Russell, has no monopoly of such
monstrosities.
AT the mines in West Virginia
soft coal is worth 81 a ton. When
1t has been transported TO the
city of Washington, 400 miles. il
sells for $3.50 a ton. At Scranton.
Pa, a car is loaded with anthracite
coal worth less than 50 a ton. The
next morning it is in New York
and is worth Sc ton. Apparently
the cost of transporting coal Zoe
miles is greater than the cost of
mining il.
In California coal is now so dear
that for the poor it must seem
like a luxury; and yet there are in
the mountains in Colorado, New
Mexico and Utah and in the North
Pacific States great coal deposits
that might afford a cheap supply
If reasonable freight rates could
be lad. AS they cannot coal is
regularly brought to San Francisco
from Australia"
