Reno Gazette: James V. Comerford
deputy superintendent of schools

day from Carson City where he has
been assisting j. E. Bray. superin.
tendent of schools, in forming a
course of study for rural schools.
The work has been going on for
the past month and all deputy super.
intendents in the State and several
principals have been assisting.
In the rural schools where there are
one or two teachers the course Of
study has been cut down to some ex.
tent. Several non-essential features
have been eliminated and the course
worked out 50 that the pupils in the
rural schools would get the best
course in eight months of school.
Little change was made in the high
school course of study, but provision
was made to allow the principals and
superintendent plenty of freedom in
outlining the course. The work will
be completed in a few more days.

Block sv.tem Avert. Wreck

High wind moved a box a from
the side track on the main line at
Elko last Saturday, setting the auto
matte electric block system. The en-
gineer of passenger train No. 10.
rapidly approaching Elko, observed
the signal two miles out of town and
stopped. sending the fiagman for
ward to ascertain the cause of the
trouble. The box car was switched
back on the side track and the pass
enger train proceeded on its way.
The perfection of the working of the
block system notifying the engineer
of the presence of something on the
track prevented what may possibly
have been a bad railroad wreck.

SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER 2. 1916
WHO OWNS THE RAILROADS?

The railroad officials and the rail-
road employees have got into a con-
troversy as to who owns the railroads.
In a bulletin issued a few days ago.
representatives of the transportation
lines emphasized the apparent fact
that the number of persons directly
interested in the railroad situation
by their ownership of railroad stock
is greater than the number of train
men in the four great brotherhoods.
The inference was that the public, in
so far as it has a direct interest in
the controversy over hours and
wages, is represented rather by the
railroads than by the brotherhoods.
The trainmen challenge this view.
They insist that the number of stock
holders in all American railroads,
listed at 622 ,284 by the Interstate
Commerce Commission in its last re-
port, does not represent the actual
situation. They point out that there
are almost numberless Implications,
because so many investors hold stock
in many different lines. And not
only is this true of Individual owners,
but it is true of railroads themselves.
The brotherhoods pick the Penn
sylvania railroad as an illustration.
They show that it alone owns stock
in " other railroads, and therefore
has been listed II times as a stock
holder; that in fact, the Pennsyl-
vania. directly and indirectly, owns a
controlling interest in 1873 roads, and
a considerable interest in 234 trans
p~ortation companies.
Moreover, the men argue, the bulk
of the stock of almost any railroad is
owned by a few capitalists. The
hundreds of thousands of owners of
whom so much is made for publicity
purposes-many of them being rail.
road employees-hold an average OF
but a few shares each. giving then
only a trivial interest in the roads
profits, a reasonable claim to divi
dends of but a few dollars a year
whereas the 400, 900 railroad mer
now striving to win concessions from
the railroads have their whole liveli.
hood involved.
Both sides are doubtless exagger'
ating, but the trainmen seem in this
matter to have somewhat the better
of the argument. AS between citi
zens interested in the controversy
through their employment and those
interested in it through their invest
ments, the neutral public may de
eide in favor of the former.
But what neither side yet appears
to recognize adequately is that the
paramount rights in the case are no
those of either faction. but of that
neutral public itself. which repre-
sents the nation as a whole. 1t ii
that third party which guarantee:
the railroads property rights anc
the trainmen's labor rights. anc
which has power to change elthel
the ownership or the working condi
tons when it chooses. And unless
the two factions of the railroad in
dustry show more disposition to worl
in harmony than they have shown
lately. the neglected third party will
sooner or later be forced to step il
itself and assume the ownership ant
control of the whole business.

The tax rate of White Pine County
has been reduced this year from $2.f6
to $1.16. And all due from the fact
that the copper production has been
so great and the prices so good that
mining companies have paid an ex-
cess of bullion tax into the county
treasury.

Washington. Aug. 31.-Belief grew
in all quarters here tonight that the
great railroad strike called for next
Monday morning would be averted.
Congress apparently was prepared to
pass tomorrow or Saturdaythe eight

the employees br~otherhoods have
declared will cause them to telegraph
the code message necessary to revoke
the strike order.
Urges Whole Legislative Plan
Although President Wilson still de-
sires strongly to see his whole legis-
lative plan accepted. administration
spokesman virtually conceded to-
night that the bill finally passed
would provide only for:
An eight-hour day for trainmen in
interstate commerce, effective De-

present 10-hour rate of pay and pro-
rata overtime.

the President to investigate the work.

This with the date December l, is

and Democratic Leader Kitchen after
comforting with President Wilson,
and which A. B. Garretson, spokes-
man for the brotherhoods, stated
formally late to-day would be con-
sidered a satisfactory settlement"
and prevent the walkont. Tonight
the Senate interstate commerce COM

for Hughes the more glazing is their
insincerity in a,,ailng Wilson
Justice Hughes Is essentially the
Wilson type. His outlook on public
life is essentially the Wilson outlook
His theory OF public duty is essentially
the Wilson theory. So far as we know
there is no important difference be.
tween these two men on any important
issue confronting the country There
is probably no vital question about
which they are not in substantial
agreement, Justice Hughes is more
Republican than President Wilson;
President Wilson Is more Democratic
than Justice Hughes. The Judge is a
little more conservative than the Pres
ident. The President is little more
tactful and concilatory than the Judge
10 dealing with those who are not In
accord with him.
What, then, is the purpose OF uomi-
mating Justice HughesY To continue
the Wilson Administration under Re.

ocratic Wilson with Republican vii.

Now with Roosevelt there Is an issue.

THURSDAY. APRIL Is, 1916.

In their opposition 10 the nomination
OF Col Roosevelt the Old Guard Re-
publicans are bit inconsistent II
thew are sincere in their criticism OF
President Wilson they ought to nom
mate Roosevelt and put him on plat
form as bellicose AS his own public ut
terances. Weak" "servie" and
"puerile" are stock adjectives in the
Republican vocabulary when mention
ing President Wilson's foreign policy,
which has preserved peace for the
United States with half the world a.
war. Republican newspapers and
spellbinders have intimated that we
ought to have interviewed in the Euro
pean war when Belgium vas invaded
and still insist that we should have
been at war long ago with Mexico.
Since the elimination OF Root, Col.
Roosevelt is the only active candidate
for the Presidential nomination who
openly thirsts for war. He is the re-
preventative and embodiment OF the
lingo spirit in the United States. He
is the champion and exponent OF mill
uarism gone mad II the Republican
villitiers OF President Wilson's policies
are honest they out TO welcome the
clean-cu issue which contest between
the war.crazed Roosevelt and the Sob
er-minded Wilson would present TO the
country. We are sure the Democrats
would.

Theodore Burton, like Theodore
Roosevelt and Elihu Root, is running
for the Republican presidential nomin'
alton solely on opposition to the record
OF President Woodrow Wilson. Mr..
Burton singles out for condemnation
the President S successful effort for the
repeal OF the free tolls provision OF the
canal act, arguing that Mr.. Burton
should succeed him because "the Pres
ident used his utmost endeavor TO OBJ
tain the repeal" But why not base
his plea for the selection of himself as
the successor of the President on the
fact that Theodore Burton, as Senator
Burton, worked shoulder TO shoulder
with the President for the repeal OF
that provsionY Surely If Theodore
Burton should be made President be-
cause Woodrow Wilson used his utmost
endeavor TO obtain the repeal OF the
free tolls provision there Is much
stronger reason why Theodore Burton
should be made President because
Theodore Burton used his utmost en-
deavor 10 obtain the repeal OF the free
tolls provision.

Neutral nations have just grievances
against all belligerents. No side OF
the European war has monopoly in
the disregard OF neutral rights. The
chief difference has been that, while
the Central Powers oifenses have been
against neutrils' lives, the Entente
Allies have disregarded only the pro.
perry rights OF non belligerents. But
the outrages OF both sides against the
world at large are utterly indefensible.
After the present war there should be,
and doubtless will be, an international
compact that any nation that makes
war upon neutras-as all nations do
when they disregard neutral rights
shall be regarded rs an outlaw nation,
whose suppression is the duty Of all
the rest OF the world
