Although only a short time has
passed since the direct election
OF Senators became the law, those
who have been familiar with Ser
ate atmosphere for years, declare
Il has changed considerably and for
the better.
A significant thing in this con-
uectioH has Just occurred For the
first time, in the history Of the gov
eminent, the average rate in a
tariff bill has been reduced in the
Senate The average rate in the
Senate Tariff Bill is two per cent
lower than the average rate in the
House Bill. At the same time, the
Senate amendments will result in
the Government receiving some
three million dollars more III reve-

PARCEL POST RATES TOO HIGH
The excellent and very SUCCESS
full parcel post system now in
vogue in the United States is

The Parcel Post is cleaning I'D

Of the gross revenue received
from carrying parcels is clean

Lewis Of Maryland and George J.

DECISION OF
JUDGE TABER
Jurist Decides Against Big
Express Companies IN an
Important Suit

Judge THber today rendered one
OF the most important decisions
IN the history OF Nevada. He
holds that the state can force the
payment OF a license or tax on
shipments OF gold gold dust. or
other precious metals or vaiuables
by an express company or other
common carrier shipping such gold
or vsiuabies from one point 20 an
other within the state OF Nevada
Judge Taber however holds that
that part Of the Nevada statute
which seeks 20 tax the CrnnsDortaf-
ing Of gold or other vaiuabtes from
points within Nevada Il. points out
SIDE the state IS Unconstitutional
as set I'D by the EXPRESS company.
The defendent in this action, on
the grounds that the state OF Ne
vada has in DO way any Jurisdiction
OVer Interstate commerce ship
msnts which are solely regulated
and controlled by the federal gov
eminent.
Some time ago the Nevada lsgls-
latuTe passed a law taxing all ship
meuts Of gold and valuable metals
within the state and also % points
without: the state. The authorities
Of Lincoln county sought Il. enforce
the Hew Jaw but the American Elk
press Company refused to take out
a license 10 do business in Lincoln
County. Tbs case vas taken into
the Justices court IN Calieute town
ship in that county from which il
was pushed into the District Court
and came before Judge Taber for
decision After careful perussl
Of the decisions in many states and
federal courts, Judge Table: today
decides that so much Of the Neya-
ia law As affects shipments within
Nevada IS legal and binding upon
all COMMON carriers. railroads or
express COMMUNICATIVE that part
Of the statute which seeks 20 TAX
Interstate shipments or traffic IS IN
constitutional and cannot be en-
forced by the Nevada authorities.
Judge Taber's opinion IS based
on a strong precedent aid down in
q similar case by the United States
Supreme Court where it vas held
that i state had the right to re-
Zulate or TAX corporations within
the state. In other words the old
question Of States rights vas rais-
ed and the United States Supreme
Court held that q state mad a right
70 run is own affairs as il saw fit.
Judge Taber IN principle holds
that Nevada has 4 perfect right 20
run its own affairs hut Of course
il cannot fool with matters which
affect other states in which case
the government acts for all as q
unit.
Judge Taher's opinion is far
reaching in it's effects and # sus-
tained by the Supreme Court Of
Nevada as may reasonably be as
sumed it will he, then every gx-
press company, railroad OF similar
carrier including freighters, may
be taxed for the pr yiIege Of doing
business in this state.
Since Lincoln county has raised
the issue and received 4 favorable
opinion from the court. it appears
that any other county N the state
can impose reasonable taxes on ex.
press OF railroad companies to DO
business if they so desire.
Whether the American Express
company will appeal to the state
supreme court is unknown.
