SEND 4 TRUE TEAM

Mr.. Democrat, if you had one
true good team that could be
depended upon to do its utmost to
pull you out of a home. would you
hitch them with two balky horses
and expect the guod team to pull
them and heavy load out of the
mire? No sane man would expect
that of the good team. Now the
majority OF the people of this
nation agree that it is in a very
bad hole and the different parties
are trying to pull it out. &C.. ..
The democrats have a good, true
honest team that has never failed
to pull the loads. Wilson and
Marshall have shown themselves to
be true to the American people,
but they alone cannot pull the load
out of the mire. The senate and
house must pull with them or their
efforts will fail. The house will do
it's duty, but the senate as it now
stands will balk on all national
policies President Wilson may
attempt to put in force. 1t is
necessary to make the senate demo-
cratic or President Wilson will not
be able to accomplish any of the
great reforms demanded by the
Baltimore PLATFORM.
There are eight candidates for
United States senator and con
gresham before the people of
Nevada. Two of these, Pittman
and Tallman. will pull with Presi-
dent Wilson and the other six will
balk at democratic policies.
Now nv. Democrat, will you
vote for Wilson and Marshall and
then vote for two men to repre-
sent YOU in the congress of the
United States who will do their ut
most to defeat the pri ciples of
your party? Will you put a balky
team with your good team and ex-
pect it to pull the four-horse load
out Of the mine? That is exactly
what you will do if you do not vote
for Pittman and Tallman.

PATENTED MINES TAXABLE

Thursday afternoon the Supreme
Court handed down a decision in
the case of Consolidated GoldfeId
Mines against the State of. Nevada
involving the question of the
liability to taxation of patented
mines upon which one hundred
dollars in labor has been expended,
in addition to the tax on the net
proceeds. The court held that
patented mines were liable to a
tax. in addition to The proceeds
tax, only when 500. in labor had
not been expended thereon. The
question involved a construction of
Article x of the constitution, as
amended in 1909, which relates to
revenue and taxes.
Last year the assessor of Esmer-
aida county assessed twenty-six
patented mines belonging t. the
Consolidated company. The com
pany paid the tax under protest
and sued to recover. Judgement
was rendered IN favor IF the
company and the state and
Esmeralda county appealed with
the result that the judgment was
affirmed. Assessors and tax
officials. have been at sea as t.
assessing patented mines but tbi:
question is settle by the decision

PITTMAN VS.. MASSEY

In discussing the high cost of
living in his Elko speech Senator
Massey failed to give cost of trans
portation as an element of the high
prices now prevalent for the neces-
saries of life. AS everybody knows
tCat the freight rates in operation
in this state are excessive and
enter largely into the cost of living
it would be interesting to know
what remedy, if any, Senator
Massey proposes for the relief of
the people of Nevada from the I'M
just exactions of the railroads.
Key Pitman in his Elko speech
spoke openly and fearlessly on this
question end promised the people
if elected he would do all in his
power to relieve them of tire dis
ordinations practiced by the
railroads and the unjust back haul
charge.
Here arc the positions of the two
leading senatorial aspirants on a
question of vital importance to
Nevada. One denounces the unjust
discrimination IF the railroads and
promises tC do his utmost to free
the people from the unjust burdens
they now bear and the other is as
silent as the grave. Either che of
these men will represent the
state in the United States senate
for the unexpired term of Senator
Nixon. One Of them, Key Pitt.
man. promises relief and the other,
Senator Massey, has nothing to say
and promises nothing. Which one
will serve the state best on this
question so vital to its prosperity
and the happiness of Tits people?
Answer on election day by voting
for Key Pittman for United States
senator.
