Had the Goods

WHEN the United States Senate
voted by a score OF 6S to 5 to inn
peach Judge Archibald, it had the
goods on him. There were many
who figured that the old administra-
ton would be too strong and that
Archibald would get off with a white
wash and the matter go on as befor"
The evidence was tOO strong. He
was convicted and stripped of polit-
ical honors.
Had Taft allowed the Commerce
Court to slip and refrained from max
ing room for a lot of lame ducks h,
and Archibald would have avoided the
disgrace in this case. Taft insisted
on making room for this output i'll

public feels the shame as well as does

More Figures

AS the State Board OF Assessors
continue their work more facts and
figures come to light that should be
of vast value to the incoming mem
bers of the Legislature. 1t was
shown at yesterdays meeting tina.
the Southern Pacific Railroad Com
pany actually paid into the State
Treasury one quarter OF the entire
money received from taxation. The
statement was furnished by both
State and railroad authorities, Cor
porations now place one-third OF the
entire State funds in the treasury.
It's a matter of deep concern.
When the values are placed in tins
instance the railroad is paying on 81
per cent of its actual value. 1t :
safe to say that there is not a big
farm in the state that is paying on
one quarter Of its real or actual val
ne. Cases can be cited in every
county where such conditions exist
and have for years.
It was not many years ago that the
papers throughout the state and the
people in general classed the South
ern Pacific as the greatest tax dodg-
er on earth. 1t was true at that time
but when il is considered the way the
honest farmer lodges. the railroad
man was an infant compared with
the land holder. 1t matters not what
plan is adopted during the session to
right this matter and bring forth
some equitable law. The TACT is here
that the land and Stockman is the big
tax dodger and that the state has
screwed up the corporation to the
limit. with farms and other hold
ings now escaping taxation plying in
the same proportion, Nevada would
be the richest state in accordance 10
population of any in the Union. The
effort this winter should be worth
while.

NEAT answer to one argument

NEAT answer to one argument
presented against the Initiative and
referendum was that given the other
day in the United States Senate by
Ashhurst of Arizona.
1t is argued that on Initiative and
referendum questions, only 50 or OF
per cent Of the voters go to the polls
To that Ashhurst countered bv
saying that "a perusal OF the Con
g%ressional Record will show that dur
ing the S~ixty-second Congress fire
quently there was 10 quorum pres
ent in the Senate: and that upon a
great number OF occasions bills were
passed or defeated in the Senate with
80 or IS per cen of the membership
OF the Senate determining the que
ton.

PROPOSES AN AMENDMENT.
Senator Sheppard Introduces Resolu'
ton for Nation Wide Prohibition.

A resolution proposing a constitutions
amendment prohibiting the manufacture,
sale or transportation for sale in the
United States of intoxicating liquors. was
introduced i'm the Senate yesterday after
noon by Senator Sheppard OF Texas.
After discussing AT length the advance
which prohibition has made in TINS coun-
try and elsewhere in recent years, Sen
atcr Sheppard said:
Responsibility for the miSerieS and the
crimes of men rests far more largely with
society than may he generally supposed.
People who keep their own lives blame
less have ny no means entirely met their
duty TO humanity or to God. 4 man may
lie a drunkard and never drink; thief,
Yet never steal. We who permit condi-
lions to exist that make thieves are
thieves ourselves. We who permit con-
ditions to exist that make drunkards are
drunkardS ourselves. We who permit
conditions TO exist that make murderers
are murderers ourselves. We who permit
n traffic to continue that fills the peni-
tentiaries, the jails. the asylums. the
hospitals. the poorhouses and the pot
ter's fields are criminals before an i'm
partial heaven. We who permit a traffic
TO continue that will make chaos of gov
eminent and beasts of men are anarchists
before the bar of truth.
we are as much the authors of woe
and tears and ruin as any follower of
AlaTie who immersed his sword IN the
blood Of mothers and of babes. And
