A temporary restraining order was
issued Wednesday, by Judge Far
rington, in the United States district
court, against the railroad commits
sion. the attorney general and the
various district attorneys of the
state. preventing them from putting
into effect the three cent passenger
rate recently ordered by the railroad
commission. The restraining order
made r%eturnable on February 2Sth.
This is the result of an action filed
in the federal court by the Southern
Pacific company in which a perman-
ent injunction is asked prohibiting
the new rates going into effect. The
company alleges the new rates
are c~oniscatory because they do not
allow an adequate return for services
rendered; that they are unconstitu-
tional because they interfere with
the powers of the interstate COM
meree commission, and that the or

WORTH THINKING ABOUT.

a bill introduced BY Senator
Green. representing a Kansas City
district in the Missouri state senate,
is probably an outgrowth of the war
against the divorce evil which has
for some time been raging in Mis-
souri's second city. Kansas City has
been graphing the evil at many
points. She has appointed and
salaried a divorce proctor whose Of
fetal duty it is to examine into every
case coming before the courts of
Jackson county, to exhaust every pos
sible means of reconciling the

Why not, asks the Tonopah

lature and make the Office of receiver

pany elective? Think of the horde
of aspirants to an office that pays
$4,000 annually, with travelling ex-
penses and also a salary of $4,000
for a cashier who will perform all
the work. The idea appears to be a
good one and the. legislature should
take a hand. Another suggestion:
Make the term of Office but one year
and give everybody a chance to
secure some of the depositors' money.

Affairs in Mexico continue in an
infiamed condition, and the present
curse of events is something like a
revolution within a revolution. Ma
dero has been overthrow and is now
a prisoner, and but for the interyen-
ton in his behalf by the United
States would have been given short
shift. As it is his fate hangs in the
balance. General Huerta, who APP
peared in the fore front of affairs in
the overthrow of Madero and the
setting up of a new government, is
not the whole cheese as he expected
to be, and late reports are to the
effect that eight states refuse TO sup
port the new regime. Meantime Ma
dero has his friends and is strongly
backed. The United State has not
yet taken a hand in the game but is
in readiness to get busy if interyen-
ton becomes necessary.
