NEVADAs POLITICAL FfuD
The Examiner Says That A
Split Has Occurred In The
Democratic Party.

Jere Burke, who in addition to his
other duties was recently made tax
attorney for the Southern Pacific, in
succession to E. Black Ryan, is back
from Nevada, where he had his first
encounter with the State Board of As
SCISSORS and came off second best.
This discontinue is laid at the doors
of Governor Dickerson and United
States Senator Francis G. Newlands,
anh the aftermath of the affair will
unauestionably be a bitter political
fight by the Kentucky railroad corpora
tion against the ambitions Of those
two men.
Newlands and Dickerson want to re-
main in power in the Sagebrush State,
and they have been and still are agi-
tating for low tax rate and an in
crease in the assessments OF railroad
property.
The fifteen county Assessors, with the
Governor as chairman, constitute the
State Board of Assessors. When Burke
appeared before them the other day at
Carson and asked that the railroad
assessment of 1909 be made effective
for this year, he got chilly reception.
He argued in vain and finally the board
raised the assessment on the 452 miles
of Southern Pacific main line in the
State from s1S, 500 per mile to t2s, 900.
The old assessment OF t6, 900 mile on
sidetracks was left undisturbed. On
the Hazen-Fallon line, sixteen miles,
the assessment was reduced from $4,000
to 5000 a mile, while reduction was
made on the 1877 miles of the company's
Carson and Colorado line in the State
from $15, 900 to sl4, 900 mile.
In their respective counties the as
SCISSORS have yet to make their as
sessments on railroad buildings, roll
ing stock and other property. What in
ereases. if any, they will make remains
TO be seen.
Dickerson was elected Lieutenant
Governor on the Democratic ticket with
Governor John Sparks at the last cleo
ton. On the death Of Sparks he be-
came chief executive. Ever since then
he has been contending that railroad
property was not carrying its fair
burden Of taxation.
During the past year he has carried
this agitation all over the State, which
enabled him to get the State board to
agree to a substantial increase In the
assessment in the Southern Pacific
main lines. Dickerson, however, is not
satisfied with the increaae. He is rep
resented as believing that the main line
of the Southern Pacific should be as
sessed Mt SAC, 900 per mile.
Senator Newlands is responsible for
a state law which aims to reduce all
county tax rates, which range at pres
ent from 81 to $3.50, down to a maxi.
mum of t1.50.
Herrin and Newlands were over.inti-
mate, and Herrin Is to-day one of the
leading directors in the Palace Hotel
Company and Sharon estate properties
in which Newlands is an owner. Dur
ing the past fourteen months they have
become very much enstranged.

BIDS FOR POWER ACTED UPON
Supervising Engineer E. c. Hop.
son Leaves For Washington
Today With Bids.

Supervising Engineer E. G. Hopson
arrived in Fallon Sunday and on the
following day took up the matter OF
awarding the Truckee chute power,
which has been an all absorbing topic
of late, and which by reason of the fact
that it is the projects largest water
power, must have a far reaching in
fiuence upon the future industrial life
of this project. The three bids re-
ceived on January 18th by invitation of
the reclamation officials were carefully
considered in detail and after going into
the various phases of the matter, in
cluding the relative ability of the
bidders to comply with their proposals
in addition to the terms of the pro-
posals. it was decided to preapare
bids anew, the first being submitted
being, according to Mr.. Hopson, purely
informal. These new bids are now in
couse of preparation, and they will. 1t
Is understood be taken by Mr.. Hopson
as will certified check as well, from
each of the bidders for the power In the
sum of S.. 900, as q guarantee of good
faith to the government that those
submitting the bids will faithfully con-
form to the text of the proposals.
This paper made an effort just before
going to press to learn definitely the
progress of the negotiations, but be-
yond what we have given, nothing
would be divulged.
Supervising Engineer Hopson will
leave this week with Washington as his
destination, and he will carry with him
the three bids, heproject engineers rec
ommendation and his own views will be
disclosed upon his arrival at Washing
ton, but 1t is understood that they will
naturally conform to those of his subor.
dinate and that an award will be quickly
made upon the formal presentation Of
the bids to the secretary of the inte-
rior, who has direct supervision Of the
matter. Before the matter Is definitely
settled, however, it will be necessary
for Baiiinger to affix his signature
to the contract, but in this connection,
it is understood that he has already
signihed his willingness to ratify what
ever action his officials in charge may
conclude is best for the interests of our
project.
The fact that both the Wonder people
and the Sprerkels people, contestants
for the award, propose to build a line
through this valley augurs much for the
future, for the real value Of this power
lies more in the relation 1t bears to the
future industrial development of the
valley than from any monetary income
II may return directly back into the
reclamation fund, although should the
Wonder Company be awarded
the power this will amount to
minimum of $2l,00 per annum
and may exceed 100000. The yearly
income will suffice to pay a large
proportion of the operation ano main
tenance expense and must lessen the
burden imposed upon the irrigated land
owners, who now have to bear the pro-
ject expenses.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., Nov. 10, 1910
Deer Dad: Secretary Ballinger IS
back, and the talk is renewed oil
the resignation OF +. II. Newell. II
Is noted that whenever a newspaper
man holds audience with Ballinger
there is a recrudescence OF that story
about the expected registration OF
New ell.
Members OF the army board ap-
pointed 10 learn something about If.
rigation are back in Washington. Mr.
New ell has had them out and has
shown the soldiers all that has been
done in the last seven years and what
remains 20 be done. Ii Is unnecessary
to say that the army men were i'm
pressed. The only people who are not
favSrably impressed are the gentle
men who are interested in the more
or less questionable private enterprise
irrigation projects which find the ma
tional government check to their
fraudulent schenectady and their
friends or political representatives..
(See Ballinger).
In pursuit OF his laudable purpose
to reduce expenses in the postoffice
department, Frank Hitchcock has
closed down the registration service
in all Washington postofiices on Sun
day.
| see our dear friend, Congressman
Rodenberg, of East st. Louis, Ill.
says undertaking, cheap, fake and
reform magazines should be denied
the second-class mailing privilege.
Who would decide what is reform
or Undertaking" magazine? Why
some bureau chief in the postoffice de-
partment. To deny the use of the
mails is to kill publication. Conse
quen1Iy Rodenberg Is for press cen
sorship.
/ Another reason why President Tar
is going 10 Panama in a battleshiI
(by the way, is the cost of this trlI
charged against his congressional
travel allowance, and, II SO. how
much?) is that he must at once de
;ermine what is to be the toll pait
by ships going through the canal
or course. that Is a pressing question
and the only way to settle 1t Is tC
hurry down to the mouth OF the cana
and interview the flock Of ships wait

Our in Colorado it is customary
for certain politicians to talk about
the vast tracts of agricultural lands
which are held within the boundaries
OF the forest reserves. Chief Forester
Graves has called that bluff A few
weeks ago Graves went to Denver

sent word TO State Senator Ammons
and Representatives Martin and Tay
lor. that ne was in the city, to be
shown what lands suitable for agli
culture were embraced In the forest
reserves. Any such lands shown him

and opened for entry. He remained

shown met no RESPONSE.

Newspapers Must Carry on
War Against Quack Medicines

I torial page should be broad enough
to assume responsibility for the print
ed claims OF advertisers. The most
acknowledgement of newspapers
would hardly vouch for the truth In
the fine print Of many patent medicine
ads which dirty up the advertising
columns.
Dr. Wiley says he will try TO get
legislation, either barring from the
mails newspapers printing fraudulent
dope advertisements, or mkaing II a
crime to advertise fake remedies.
II don't think there Is anybody In
the country more heartily against even
the first step OF what might lead to
censorship of the press than l am
said DR.. Wiley, and | do not think
legislation will be necessary. Al
ready some leading newspapers OF
the country will not print the adver-
tisement OF fraud In any guise. In
time, most OF our newspapers VIII be
as careful OF their advertising col
umns as they are OF statements In
their news columns.
Advertising in small country week
lies Is largely controlled by syndi-
Gates who print the patent insides.'
These organizations have no public
editorial identity or responsibility,
and, as a rule, they accept medicine
advertisements without question.
To-day newspapers printing stats
tics OF lotteries are barred from the
mails. yet that law is not regarded as
censorship. think IL would be In the
proper scope OF the postofiice 10 re-
fuse TO carry newspapers having. for
instance. questionable advertisements
OF farm lands that could not get the
sanction of the department OF agri-
culture. financial advertisements that
the department OF commerce and la
Dor could not approve, or mining prop
ositions that could not get the o, X.
OF the bureau OF mines. No free news
paper should receive any financial
support from frauds and swindlers."
II is estimated that there are any
where from 100000 TO 100000 dope
fiends'' in the United States, many OF
whom were trapped by delusive med
icine" advertisements. It's these traps
Dr. Wiley wants to abolish.
