Between Ourselves

Never before in the worlds history
has such a long, perilous and exacting
race been run as now nears its goal
in the South Pole. Civilization eagerly
awaits the message announcing the
winner.
Whether Captain Scott, the English
man. or Road Amundson, of Norway.
be first to plant Lis nations a at
the opposite n OF the earth from the
point Commodore Peary raised the
Stars and Stripes, will mean little
difference.
Great honor is due to both OF these
intrepid explorers and thei brave COM
panions who must fight against the
Utmost hardships, mad even more diff
ficult because of the extreme cold, The
zero weather we experienced here a
few weeks ago would be considered hot
beyond the Great Barrier.
1t is most peculiar that the North
Pole is an ic~e-covered sea, n the
southern extremity of he earth is a
high plateau supposed to be rich In
mineral resources II may develop to
be the worlds storehouse Of coal, and
future generations will draw their heat
from the bottom of the world.
So lot us be ready to applaud ths
lucky winner and ais sturdy rival with
all possible honors.

COMNISSIONERE INSPECT
DAMAGED COUNTY ROADS

Commissioner Bradshaw returned
yesterday afternoon from the south
end of the county where, in company
of Commissioner Stoker, he made an
inspection of the copnty roads damag-
ed by the recent cloudbursts. A force
Of men has been at work for some time
repairing the highways, and the work
will be continued as long as available
funds hold out.
Speaking of Commissioner Brad
shaw g visit to Lovelock, the Review
Miner has the following to say:
County Commissioner J. d. Brad
shaw, who is a candidate before the
primaries for the Democratic nomina-
tion for reelection to the same office,
spent few days in town this week
looking toward his political fences. Mr..
Bradshaw intends to make clean-cut
and vigorous campaign for re-nomina-
tion. He says his campaign is to de-
termine whether the people or the
bosses shall rule. Mr.. Bradshaw has
made an excellent public record, both
as an assmblyman from this county
and as a county commissioner. My
whole career is open and direct the
attention of my opponents co it., he
said. Mr.. Bradshaw is well thought of
in Lovelock valley, both by the mem
bers of his own party and the people
generallv.''

PARCELS POST AND
THE COST OF LIVING

This meausre would do more to
solve the eost-ofliving question than
any other. Our whole transport sys-
tenn makes no provision for the small
shipments. We have provision for
wholesale, not for retail, transporta-
tion. Yet the things the farm pro-
duces are finally sold in small retail
lots and the things it buys are mainly
bought in retail lots. How many con-
sumers buy 100 pounds of butter or
ten cases of eggs in a lott The con-
sumer wants three pounds of butter
and one dozen eggs at a time. We
have transportation facilities and
rates adjusted to the purpose of NOV
ing the 100-pound or 100-ton ship
ment, but not the three-pound one.
Now note the result of that system:
Our trouble is that neither the pro-
ducer nor the consumer deals in whole
sale lots. In order to utilize he
wholesale transportation facilities
there must be middlemen in the coun-
try to gather these small lots, and dis
tributing middlemen in the city, who
break up these big bulks into small
packages for the consumer. What we
need is a provision to articulate to-
gether the great railroad conduit, the
delivery system that the postoffice con-
duets in the city, the rural delivery
and collection system it operates in
the country, and make single opera
tion, single accounting system, a sim
gle directing intelligence. run the
whole. thing.
See what that does. A farmer does
not have ten crates of eggs. If he
saved up till he had they'd spoil on his
hands. But he has few dozen fresh
ones a day. He puts them in a little
case, directs them to his customer in
town and puts on red stamp for, say,
10 cents. That red stamp contains a
blank space in which he writes the G.
O.. d. amount that is to be paid by ire
eonsignee, and the postoffice brings
back the amount to him next day. Or,
he may put on a blue stamp, which
means no collection is to be made. That
is the way it would work.-Farm and
Fireside.

HARTMAN LINES
|. SHOW A DECREASE

The Hartman railroads, Union Pa
eifc and Southern Pacific, with their
auxiliary companies, reported Thurs
day for the fiscal year ending June 80.
The figures given displayed recessions
below the record of 1911 in gross and
net income owing to unfavorable agri-
cultural conditions in the roads terri
tory and to increased expenses and
taxes. The gross earnings Of both
companies nevertheless were greater
than in any year previously except
1910 and 1911, which were, in the
words of Judge R. H. Lovett, chair.
man of the boards of directors, phe-
nomenal.
Union Pacific reported gross in
come of $S9,977 500, decline of 3d.
005, ,4S9 from the previous fiscal per-
led; operating expenses, $50, 1889, ,407,
an increase Of $5s1 ,573, and net earn
ings of $31, 1,219,413, recession of $4,-
493, 1928.
Southern Pacific showed gross operat.
ing income of $13f ,525,171, a decrease
of $l,095, 5,369 operating expenses of
$50, ,491, ,0433, an advance of 81 ,485.-
S29, and net return of 500, ,412 ,SS9, a
recession of $3,352, 2,0S9.
Judge Lovett announced that, with
some of his associates, he will soon
become a director of the Chicago and
Alton Railroad company.

TAFT AGAIN W.
TOES WOOL BILL

For the second time within year
President Taft has vetoed bill to re-
wise the wool tariff-schedule "Ko Of
the Payne Aldrich law.
The president yesterday returned to
congress the bill evolved as a COM
promise between the house and senate,
holding it had enacted measure to
substantially reduce unnecessary ex-
listing duties' without destroying pro-
lection for the wool industry in the
United States.
The presidents disapproval of the
wool bill is to be followed with similar
vetoes of the steel bill and the cotton
bill. The sugar bill was likely to be
vetoed, as is the excise tax bill, the
latter probably on the ground that the
president believes it unconstitutional.
II stand by my pledges to maintain
degree of protection to Offset the
difference in cost of production here
and abroad, and will heartily approve
any bill reducing duties to this level, =
wrote Mr.. Taft
disapproved last year were identical
in terms, the president Is reasons diff
fered He vetoed the former because
lit had been framed before the tariff
board 8 report-the latter because be
said it had been framed with disre-
gard for the board . findings
Rates Are Too Low.
"Most of the rates in the submitted
bill, wrote the president, "are so
low in themselves that il enacted into
law the inevitable result would be ir-
retrievable injury to the wool growing
industry, the enforced idleness Of much
of our wool and combing and spinning
machinery, and of thousands of work
men,
The bill sent to the White house inn
posed an ad valorem duty Of 20 per
cent on raw wool and ON clothes of 40
per cent. Both rates Mr.. Taft held
were insufficient and were too low to
protect the grower and manufacturer.
Taft Wants Duties Reduced.
~ strongly desire to reduce duties,'
read the message, provided only the
protective system be maintained and
that industries now established be not
destroyed. 1t now appears from the
tariff boards report and from bills
introduced into the house and senate
that bill may be drawn to be with
in the requirements of protection and
still offer a reduction of 20 per cent
on most wool and from FIVE per cent
to so per cent on clothes. 7 cannot
act on the assumption, that major
Iity of either house will refuse to pass
bill of this kind. / therefore urge
upon congress that it do not adjourn
without taking advantage of the plain
opportunity thus substantially to re-
duce unnecessary existing duties. I
appeal to congress to reconsider the
measure, which | now return with
out my approval and to adopt q sub
stitute therefor, making substantial re-
ductions below the rates of the pres
ent act, which the tariff board shows
possible, without destroying an es-
tablished industry, or throwing any
wage earners out of employment and
which l will promptly approve.
"Despite the efforts that have been
made to discredit the work of the tar
iff board, their report on this schedule
has been accepted with scarcely dis
senting voice, by all those familiar
with the problems discussed, inelud-
ing active representatives of organiza-
tions formed in the interest of the
public and the consumer
