RAILROADS ORDERED TO
REVISE THEIR RATES
Application of Nevada Railroad Com
mission Results In Lowering Charges

Washington, June 27.-Holding
that water competition between the
Atlantic and Pacific coasts has been
completely destroyed under war con
ditions, the interstate commerce
commission to-day ordered t%ranscon-
tinental railroads to revise their rates
from the East to the Pacific coast by
Septembe 1st so they shall not be
lower than rates to intermediate
points.
The order was a result of the in
vestigation of existing rates on APP
plication of the Nevada railroad
commission. the Spokane Merchants
association and representatives of
various intermediate cities.
The commission found that the
need for lower rates to meet water
competition has completely disap-
peared for the time being and there
is little likelihood of any material
competition by water during the
present year"

Espee Tracks Washed Out

Two hundred feet of track and a
long stretch of wagon road leading
from Fernley to Hazen were washed
out by a serious break which occurred
in the main Government canal three
and one-half miles west of Hazen.
A torrent of water poured through
the gap in the big ditch, flooding the
lowlands and sweeping away the rail-
road tracks. A large crew of men
worked for nine hours before traffic
was reopened on the railroad. The
break occurred without warning.
Hazen and Fallon and the ranchers
dependent upon the canal are with
out water supply. 1t is estimated
that 10 days will be required to re-
pair the break.

THE LATEST NEWS
Received at Noon To-day By the
SENTINEL Over the Telephone
From Palisade

Officials at Washington have
learned that a defiant answer to the
United States note is being prepared
by Carranza. and a break is feared.
Private messages from Mexico
City indicate that a break in the rela-
tons between the United States and
the de facto government is unavoid-
able.
Should an unfavorable reply be
received from Carranza, President
Wilson is prepared to appear before
a joint session of Congress, and the
administration will act before We'd
nesday if no reply is sent.
The war department continues to
mobilize all available troops and
State organizations along the border.
President Wilson declares he is op-
posed to war with Mexico, and will
not countenance a conflict while al
ternatives remain forsettling trouble.
He declares the glory of America
will not be enhanced by a war of
conquest in Mexico.
All guardsmen have been ordered
rushed to the border. The Mexicans
have succeeded in destroying the
ground wire system between Colona
Dublan, headquarters of General
Pershing, and the border.
Sir Roger Easement, convicted of
high treason by a British Court at
London, has been sentenced to be
hanged.
The Russians continue successful
in their big drive against the Aus
TRANS; the Italians are still pushing
back the Austrians in the Trentino
region, but there is little change in
the fighting on the Verdun front,
where the Allies and the Germans
have been fiercely fighting for over
two months.

The income tax places the remedy
for the existing frauds and the pre-
ventive of the dangers just described
in the hands of the president and the
secretary of the treasury. Article
(d) of Section G provides:
"The return shall be filed
in the Office of the commissioner of
internal revenue and shall constitute
public records and be open to inspec-
ton as such: Provided, That any and
all such returns shall be open to in
spectioR only upon the order of the
president, under rules and regula-
lions to be prescribed by the secre-
tary of the treasury and approved by
the president.
What will he do?
What will you demand that he do?
We have the choice between pub
licity and espionage. Any system of
espionage sufficient to insure the coll
lection of the tax without publicity
must inevitably develop a secret
service and spy system, keeping tab
on the income and expenses Of every
American, brow-beating or corrupt
ing employees, Matchmaking taxpay-
ers and reaching the innermost Sc
crets of every family.
Put a spy behind every curtain,
diotagraph in every business mans
desk and the income tax will not be
collected. But publish the tax re-
turns broadcast In the newspapers of
America and sources of income
which are now unknown will yield
up a huge stream of revenue to the
treasury.

and the rich man fears the papers,

BOYS ARE HEALTH OFFICERS.
Wichita Schools To Be Guarded by
Corps of Juvenile Workers.

Wichita, Kan, March 20.-This
city is to have corps of junior health
officers, it was announced here by L.
w Mayberry. superintendent of city
schools. Pupils in all grades above
the third in the city schools will be
given an opportunity to work, it was
pointed out, and a different pupil will
be appointed in each school room
every week to keep a record of alb
sentees and cause of absence, a daily
school room record, and a statement
of the weather.
The purpose of the plan is to give
better sanitation and health conditions
in the public schools through the pu-
pills themselves by placing upon them
the responsibility of keeping their
rooms and school yards in such a con-
dition as to make possible a favorable
report to the city health department.
Following are some of the records
the junior health officers will be re-
quired to make:
Sanitation of school room: Do you
wash your face and hands at school.
and how? Do you use your own or
a common towel? How is the dust
kept down when sweeping? How
often were the windows washed this
week? Do you know of any insani
tary conditions in your district which
require the attention of a health Off
Ger?
Sanitation of school yard: Where
do you get drinking water? Do all
children have their own cups? Are
Fairgrounds and yards neat and or
derby? Any new marking on build
ings this week?

AS We GROW Older

our minds are quite as active as in
former years but our strength does not
respond when we need it most; perhaps
the kidneys are weak, the liver torpid,
rheumatic pains or stiffened joints
beset US, and we cannot easily throw
off the colds that winter brings.
What we need is the rich cod liver oil
in SCOTS Emulsion to renew the blood
andcarry strength to every organ ofthe
body, whileits glycerine soothes there's
Piratory tract, and its hypophosphites
strengthen the excitable nerves.
SCOTS Emulsion is scientific oil
food, of unusual benefit to those past
fifty years-particularly during the
colder seasons, it imparts warmth and
creates strength. One bottle will prove
its worth. No alcohol or harmful drugs.
