Remarks of President.
I'VE established an independent nation
in order that men might enjoy a new
kind of happiness and a new kind of
dignity: that kind which man has when
he respects every other man and wom-
ans individuality as he respects his own;
where he is not willing TO draw dis
tinctions between classes; where he is
not willing to shut the door of privilege
in the face of any one. The dignity OF
your organization is measured by the
dignity of the traditions which you are
organized to maintain. Therefore, the
American Revolution is worth remember
ing. because il is one of the few strug-
giles in the history of the world which
was entirely devoted to the establishment
of human liberty.
I'VE cut links with the past in that
struggle which We hope will never be

by $42. $40 than the dividend require
ments. This was the direct result of
the labor troubles here i'll October
and was the only quarter in the year
when the profits were not consider
ably i'll excess of the dividend rate.
For the first quarter the earnings
amounted to $1,233,76S: for the sec

third quarter. $1,S16.ll6 making the
total profits for the year S., 1886 ,9o3.

JOAQUIN MILLER
PASSES AWAY

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb "
"Joanquin' Miller. the poet OF the ST.
erras. died to-day in his one-room
cabin, which he built with his own
hands in the Piedmont hills many
years ago. His daughter, Juanita
Miller, and his wife were with him.
The end came at o'clock in the af-
ternoon with warm sunshine flooding
the room where lay the author OF
Songs Of Sunland."
Death came slowly upon the ven
cradle poet. He became unconscious
Thursday, after a lingering illness.
which began when he had an attack
OF paralysis two years ago His
wife and daughter were summoned
at that time from the East. and have
been with him since The weakness
of old age had crept upon him, and
although he worked at times, he
rarely ventured from "The Heights"
as he called his mountain retreat.
Hope OF saving his life ended yes
terday, when the attending physician
annouced that the end was only a
matter OF a few days. At noon to-
day life as barely discernibIc Senil-
ity was the only cause of death the
physician could give. He was about
20 years of age.

was his undoing, as when he called

RAISING
STATE
REVENUES
Liquor Men Pay on a
Big Tax

Yesterday the higher license bill
| on liquors, passed the Assembly. The
bill is aimed to raise funds to carry
on state government 1t was shown
that by the proposed change i'll the
license law that the state would ben
eff TO about 100000 in revenue. The
present state law collecting $50 for a
retail license and SIS for wholesale
license brought into the State Treas
urs approximately Slo0,0C0 and un-
der the raise. which simply doubles
the license fee, the state will collect
100000 from this one source.
The saloon men are providing
more revenue per capita than any
other class of taxpayers in this state
They are now insisting that the 9TH
ers be made to come to the center
They cite the fact that the biggest
tax dodgers in this state are the big
land and cattle men. Tn order to
equalize the burdt n and raise funds
for state governmt Mt the saloon men
argue. ad justly, that.the Legisla-
ture get busy and adjust this taxa
ton where it belongs.
The argument of the saloon men is
we'll founded and attention should
be given this matter, The raising OF
the state license went through with
out opposition. 1t will be interesting
to note just how the new tax COM
mission bill will be treated when it
comes in for a hearing in the two
houses Practically all admit that

While there was not a great influx
OF bills in to-day's session OF the
LEGISLATURE, yet there were some OF
Importance. In the Assembly prob
ably one OF the most important laws
of the session was presented for en-
actment. 1t is compe1 sation and
liability act, with insurance features
attached The bill was introduced
by Mr.. Forman OF Nye. 1t is a
modification of the present act, which
so far has been inadequate and prac
tically imperative. 1t is understood
that this big bill is approved both by
the employers and employees through
out the state as a whole The bill
coming at this time of the session al
lows plenty of time for thorough
ivestigation and threshing out. From
all appearances it will be one Of the
big laws of the session.

intention was to show through the

was not a debt-ridden proposition
but that the coin was here to meet
the bills. The resolution was

more than passing interest It being

GOOD ROAD
MOVEMENT
PROPOSED
A Reno Club Wants
u. S. Action

The Reno Commercial Club is adj
vocating good roads as Nevada's
first asset In order to help boost
this all-important problem, the Club
has sent the following resolution to
the members OF the Assembly and to
ctaers interested:
Whereas, good roads are funda-
mentally an economic question, al
iecting directly and indirectly all in
dustry and commerce and all cit-
zen OF the state; and
Whereas, the State OF Nevada. the
sixth State in size in the Union and
the smallest i'll population and with
its thousands of miles of roads and
ITS limited means. is unable to build
new roads as needed or to put its
present roads in good condition and,
what is equally important. to main
tain them after they are built and
improved will require a vast sum Of
money:
"Now. therefore. be it resolved as
follows: !. That we ask our Sen
ators and representatives to petition
Congress to make a grant to the
State OF Nevada of one fniliiolr acres
Of public lands for the creation of
road fund
% That this grant be a floating
grant and the fund to be managed by
board just as the grant OF two mil
lion acres for the public schools and
ninety thousand acres for the Uni
versity funds were managed
SO That this resolution be refer
