HIGH COST OF LIVING.

Freight rates is the bugaboo advanced by
the retailer in every section as a legitimate
excuse for charging high prices, and as the
reason par-eXcellence, for the present high cost
of living. Admitting that this is a fact it
might be Of interest to the general long-suffering
public to have the retailer answer few per-
tinent questions along this line
In the city of TOnOpah there is sold Ger.
tain brand of coffee, which comes from San
Francisco. This coffee is sold in one, two and
three-pound cans. The same coffee is also sold
in Goldfeld, and it is to be presumed that
should there be any difference in the freight
rate between San Francisco and Tonopah and
San Francisco and Godfield, this camp, on ac-
count OF beng nearer to the original point of
shipment, would have a trifle the best of the
argument However, admitting that the freight
rate is equal from San Francisco to both of the
Nevada points, there be advanced any good
and legitimate reason why the price of three
pound can of the coffee referred to. should be.
higher i'll Tonopah than it is in Goldfield. Never
theless this same coffee. which may be pur-
chased in Goldfeld for $1.10 for a three pound
can, sells in Tonopah for $1.35 ree-poupd
can.
If it is possible for the retail grocer in Tono-
pah to give any reasonable excuse for this dis.
crepancy IN prices, with freight rate that is at
least no higher it would be pleasure to the
Bonanza to publish the excuse. If it is posi-
bile he Bonanza would like to the residents
VI IOHOpdH given Inc same square zeal Ilat
is accorded the citizens of Goldfed
This discrepancy in prices is not alone con-
fined to coffee nor is it confined to the retail
grocery business there are numerous items in
the pharmaceutical line, proprietary medicines
that have lone price proposition every place
earth Articles of medicine which are handled
by the retailer on percentage basis Certain
of these articles sold in Tonopah at price
considerably above the price set on the goods
by the manufacturer; the local dealer forward
ing the excuse that express rates necessitate
the high charge" Now these goods are not sold
collect freight. they are sold Laid down; :"
they are sold with the understanding that the
retailer makes certain profit. But the local
merchant is not content with the profit allowed
him by the manufacturer. he insists that the
public be skinned for the further enrichment
Of his Golfers.
On the other hand, when the mail order man
approaches this city, with good square deal'
for the public naming prices that correct,
the retail merchant is the first to raise the hue
and cry that he is getting the worse of it. It
is surely coming to him, just so long as he plays
the public for 'suckers," just so long as he at
tempts to. extract price out Of all proportion
to the value of the goods he handles And, just
so the local merchant realizes this fact
and is willing to accord his patrons an honest
measure, just long will he feel the effects of
outside competition

SoLONs EXPENSIVE LUXURY.

During the past campaign the republican
asprants to office forever harked on the very
expensive" Dickinson democratic admnstra-
ton, and swore, across their hearts, that with
the advent of republicansm the expenses would
be cut down considerable. Thus far the pres
ent Legislature has proven most expensive lux
ury to the state of Nevada for the results OBJ
tanned. With about 40 ont of the allowed 60
days already dissipated the accomplishment of
the legislature has been practically MIL except
that about $4,000 of the hard-earned money
of the taxpayers has been squandered on sal
aries and expenses
While the Bonanza is, and always has BEEN
a republican newspaper, and as a member of
that party ascrbed to the tenets and the slogans
of the republican party, it is at this time will
ing to admit that it was in error At the time it
was OF the opinion that the legislature was
right however at this time it must confess
that it was mistaken and doff its headgeSr to
the Dickinson administration. The lately de-
fnct administration could give the present
bunch Of 'inactives' cards and spades and beat
it with eyes closed, far as useful, inexpensive
legislation is concerned
The near-lawmakers now gathered at Carson
City had better get busy and do it now" or
else they will be branded as the most expen-
siye luxury the state has ever known

Afternoon.
PHELIX GRAY COMES
OUT WITH STATEMENT

1T is with regret that l am
placed in a position where it is
necessary for me to make state
ment regarding the sad occurrence
of yesterday afternoon, when l was
compelled to put dog out of the
State Bank and Trust company's
building. The dog was given to
me by Mr.. Harris some time ago
and l had made every effort to keep
it at my home, without success.
The dog refused to stay with any
one and | had made up my mind
that l did not want it. When it
came into the building yesterdy v
afternoon | put it out. l had no
intention of doing any harm to the
dog. | am a lover of animals and
would not hurt one for anything in
this world However, | am informed
that the leg of the dog was broken,
for which | am most deeply, sorry,
as | had not the least intention of
doing the animal any personal
harm.
My manly friends in Tonopah
know full well that I am a great
lover of all of the animal tribe
and that it would be against my
nature to Intentionally harm any one
of that tribe
i do not make this statement
with the expectation of being exon
Grated, but for the purpose of plac-
ing myself right with my many
| friends
