.PAR7Y's RECOR|l1AD
Country's Revenues Wasted by
the Republicans,
-
Millions Thrown Away on "Pprk." and
Yet Leaders Presume tp Advise
Democrats as to Proper Method
Of National Defence.

National defense is not partisan
matter. but 1t Is just as we'll to say
right now that the administration and
the Democratic majority in both
houses of congress would do we'll to
pay scant attention to Republican
counsels. y
The present comparative helpless
ness of the United States is directly
and specifically the result OF, Republi-
can blindness, Republican carelessness
and Republican pork"
The Republican party had absolute
control of the nations affairs for six
teen years. It managed SO well that
at&the end of that time the trained rar
serve of the United States army con-
sisted Of sixteen men. It saw the Span
ish war increase our responsibilities
and difficulties at least tenfold, yet
was content with an army less than
four times as great as had sufflced dur
Ing our previous isolation, while our
feet takes a lower rank among the
navies of the world today than it did
In 1898.
Through all those sixteen years, in
spite of repeated warnings, the Re-
publican party was spending enormous
sums on pork" putting 100000 into
a single fort" on the Bleak, inacces-
sible plains Of Wyoming for the ben"
eft OF Senator Warren; building navy
yards in Maine that no battleship
could reach, for the benefit of Senator
Hale; wasting the nations money on
every side. And yet this is the party
which comes forward now and claims
monopoly of wisdom In the matter
Of national defense!
Such impudence is sublime, but not
convincing. President Wilson and the
Democratic majority in congress can
get all the advice they need from
trained experts in the army and navy.
They do not need any counsel from
Senator Warren, Reed Smoot, Gussie
Gardner or any other Republican

Wells Fargo Express company for the

An application to the United States
Supreme Court for a writ of error is
being prepared by Hoyt, Gibbons S

says the Gazette.
The case invloves about $125,0O0 in
state taxes, although that amount rep

issue in the Humboldt county case
which was decided by the supreme court

case.
The application for a writ of error

grounds. 1t is the contention of eoun-
sci for the company that levying a tax
OF the company's 8 right to do business
in Nevada violates that constitutional
pl ovision comforting ON Congress the
right to regulate interstate commerce,
and that the tax sought to be collect
ed is a tax on interstate commerce. 1t
also is contended by the company that
the tax imposed is disproportionate to
the value of the property involved and
that its collection will violate the 14th
amendment to the federal constitution
by taking away the property of the de
fendant without due process of law.

evening for Lovelock, where he will

SENATOR PITTMAN GETS
ASSURANCES ON SILVER

In response to his urgent telegram
appealing for the purchase of silver by
the director of the mint, Senator Pitt
man has received a message from
Washington that Director Wooley
agrees with Senator Pittman as to the
policy expressed and win immediately
commence the purchase of silver
Coincident with the sending of the
telegram from Washington it was not
ed that the director of the mint had
purchased 100000 ounces of silver in
the market for coinage. Senator Pitt
man has wired again asking further
details as to the plans of purchase de-
cided on and expects more informa-
tion shortly.
The amount purchased, if followed
regularly, would mean about 5000, 900
ounces a month and would approximate
in degree the extent of the Sherman
silver purchase act. It's most beneficial
effect, however, would be in injecting
the element of competition into the
silver market which would tend to
standardize the price of silver
It is no secret that there has been
no open market for silver for months
past. The buying companies are not
bidding against each other and IL Is
obvious that the welfare of Nevada 4
silver mines depends on the creation of
competition by the government actual
ly entering the market to a substantial
extent. The safety of this move is con
sidered as evident as the beneficial eff
feet it would have on the western min
ing fields.-Nevada Democrat.

company, the holding corporation for

are finished.
corps in Nevada, four are devoting
their time to survey of the railroad
grants. When these surveys are COM
pleted, state officials learned today, all
this land will be subject to taxation by
the counties in which it is located.
Technically it has been government
land, and the counties, therefore, have
not assessed it.
Title will pass to the corporation inn
mediately upon acceptance of the sur
vey by the commissioner of the general
land office. The Southern Pacific is
the only railroad in the state that Is
affected, the government having grant
ed every alternate section for 10 miles
each side of the track to the old Gen.
trail Pacific at the time that road was
built. In eases where so per cent Of the
land has been entered, the government
does not make a resurvey, and sections
that are half taken up, and are includ.
ed in the original grants, become the
property of the settlers and not of the
railroad.
Just what increase in taxes the
Southern Pacific viii have to bear will
not be ascertained until the completion
Of the survey The original grants call
ed for every alternate section for a
distance of 10 miles on either side of
the railroad right of way. Later amend
ments are said to have extended the
distance from the right Of way for 20
miles on either side. Title will pass by
the end of the year, giving the counties
IN which the lands are located the ad-
vantage of additional assessable prop

thieves worked an uncommon game in
ticket office in Salt Lake City One
of them engaged ticket sellers atten-

$5007 worth of railroad tickets. These
tickets seem to have been sent broad
cast over the country, as people have
here and there ridden on the tickets,
which show by their serial numbers
that they have been stolen Cases of
this kind have seldom bothered the
town of Elko, as the people who work
these steals do so in the centers of pop

catch them. II is understood that a
