State and the Railroads

ON THE other side OF the Srras the people are wrestling with
the railroad question. for ears the railroad has wrestled with Cali
forna. Governor Johnson OF California oil his fight n an antrail
road fght-a fight that he guaranteed to give the people Of the State a n
inning should he be elected. He is evidently endeavorng o carry III
his part Of the program.
California years ago established a Railroad Commission. The Com
mission proved simply a soft pillow for the men appointed, and they
pulled down the money and forgot the people. The Railroad Commits
sion has been a laughing stock in railroad circles, and the man appoint
ed therein simply felt that he w a among the chosen few and held his
job with that view in sight
On this side OF the range a law a passed a few years ago creating
a Railroad Commission. The people as a class regarded IT in he same
light as the California Commission, that it "a simply making room for
a lot Of men who could draw down a salary AMI fat up a bit Even the
railroads felt in the san frame OF mind. They have since changed
their opinion.
In the past two years the Nevada Commission has won Tor this
State more recognition than any Railroad Commission on this coast
They have secured reductions in reight and fares, they have furnished
data that proved the valuations whereby to afx taxatons, and they
were the means OF knocking off the back haul that the railroads had
saddled upon the people OF this State for nearly half a century.
II would appear that about all California needs is the enforcement
OF the Commissioners laws and a ceanout of the Commissioners to
get on an equal footing with Nevada. 1t now looks like Governor
Johnson would be able o land the goods.
