WANT LOWER
PASSENGER RATES

This MORNING a hearing was
instituted by the Nevada Railroad
Commission against the Southern
Pacific Railroad. The Commits
sioners summoned the railroad men
here to investigate passenger rates
on that system, and TO determine
why lower rates should not be
placed in effect throughout Ne
vada. The hearing is not on COM
plant. but is instituted by the
Commission in the hope of further
reducing the passenger charges
from point to point on the railroad.
This is but one of many investiga-
ii )ns planned by The Commission
in o der to make a better rate for
the travelling public over the state.
AS the Commission has sworn
figures of the railroad men at hand
they will ~cretainly be in a position
to make the officials take notice.
The following railroad officials
were in attendance at the hearing
before the Commission at the
morning session:
Charles S. Fee, traffic manager
of the Southern Pacific company
F. S. Howard, secretary, George.
Squires.. N. Kendall. G. S. Herr
and Allen p. Mathews. counsel
for the Westeran Pacicf Company,
The presence of Allen P. Math-
erws, counsel for the Western
Pacific Company. is explained as
due to the fact that the Western
Pacific will intervene and be
represented in the inquiry. The
Gould road parallels the Southern
Pacific for a long distance and any
ruling as 10 passenger rates would
affect it likewise. carson Appeal

THE INCOME TAX

An income tax amendment to the
constitution Of the United States
will be rattle next winter. II
lacked but four votes when the
count was last made. Thirty-one
at ates have now ratified IT,.
We look upon this as most i'm.
portant. Heretofore the states
have denied the right TO the
fede raj government to levy such a
tax and the supreme court has held
to the same conclusion. \
When it shall finally become
part Of the constitution then some
craftsmanship will be necessary to
SO levy the tax that IL will fulfil
the object of the amendment. Our
idea 10 that IL should be n gradua.

AN OLD-TIMER HAS
BEEN COMMITTED

Saturday afternoon the county
phys clan and an attic nding physi-
clan examined James Plat, an in
mate of the poor farm, for in
san ty and committed him to the
asylum.
While the old man is in no way
dangerous, yet it has become
necessary to care for him outside
the county farm. He has a mani q
for wandering inlo the hills, and
it has only been through strenuous
effort that he has been kept or
the farm. 1t was feared that he
would wander away and die in the
brush. The confinement at the
state hospital will assure HIN
good treatment and he will be
under the constant care of the
people who make it a business to
watch such patients.
In the early days of Hawthorne
Jim Plat was a prosperous black
smith of that then prosperou
camp, and was a man highly
respected and well thought of. +
can be truthfully said that strong
drink has been the one cause o.
the wreck of Jim Plat. -Carsol
