LONG DISTANCE TELEPHONE
RATES IN CORRECTION

Steps will soon be taken to bring
70 the attention of the Nevada public
service commission what is said to be
discriminatory practices by the Ben
Telephone Company, and the commits
son will be asked to regulate, if pos
sible, the long distance rates charged
by the company and put them on the
same basis as the rates given in Cali
fornia.
In California the initial period tor
\ conversation on the long distance
telephone is two minutes, but in Ne
vada if is only one minute. While the
rate for the initial period is about the
same in most cases, in several import
an+ instances the Nevada rate is
higher.
Besides the difference in the initia
period, many instances where the
rates are excessive and discriminatory
have been pointed out. From Beck
with. California to San Francisco the
cost of a two-minute conversation Is
90 cents. From Reno to San Fran
cisco the rate is 81. minute and Sl.oU
for two minutes. The wire from
Beckwith passes through the Reno
exchange, making the wire distance
fully 40 miles greater than that USED
in the Reno-San Francisco converse
ton. The fact that both Beckwith
and San Francisco are in California
accounts for the 90 cents difference
IN rates.
A person in Reno wishing to send
message to San Francisco could tele
phone it to a friend in Beckwith ant
have the friend in Beckwith telephone
it TO San Francisco and save Is cent;
on the deal, providing it was two
minute conversation, despite the fac
that the relayed conversation would
pass through the Reno office. A con
versation lasting FIVE minutes iron
Beckwith to San Francisco costs SIS
while a five-minute conversation oVei
the Bell wires from Reno to San Fran
ciso costs $500.
\ two-minute conversation iron
Truckee to San Francisco costs 81
cents and 20 cents less than the rate
from Reno. The difference in distance
is about 10 per cent, while the differ
ence in rate is 81 IL per cent. For
five-minute conversation affecting the
same places the difference in rate /
50 Der cent
The combined rate from Rem
through Truckee to San Francisco
,ess than the rate from Reno to Sai
francisco direct. From Reno tC
Truckee the rate for two minutes
g scents From Truckee to San
Francisco it is 80 cents. The com
bined rates is Sis. Yet the rate
from Reno direct to San Francisco
for two minutes is $3.50
Exactly the same condition exist:
when Truckee is replaced by Sacra
nento. The rate from Reno to Sacra
mento for two minutes is 70 cents ant
the rate from Sacramento to Sar
Francisco is As cents making tota
Of $115.
Another instance of the extreme ex
cessive rate has been pointed ou'
where a conversation passes through
Reno This is in the case OF two
minute conversation between Sierra
Vile and Sierra City, which costs l!
cents. The conversation passe:
through the Reno Office thence Z
Grass Valley in Nevada county, Cali
fornia and thence to Sierra City. Ye
the rate from Reno to Grass Valley
is 50 cents for one minute and II
cents for two minutes.

Spring.

Spring is looked upon by many
as the most delightful season OF
the year, but this cannot be said
of the rheumatic. The cold and
damp weather brings on rheunla-
tic pains which are anything but
pleasant. They can be relieved,
however, by applying Chamber
lain's Liniment. Obtainable every
where.

Union, in the Local, wherever men
and women gather together, you must
be able to express yourself 1t is not
enough tc have something to say-you
must be able to say it.
Why rot take simple, clear, con-
clsc, free-from-frills course in plain
English-English for every day. The

THE STORY OF Two DOCS

Strong addresses have been deliver

In American bottoms, and other mat
tiers which are likely to come up.
sit is only too evident that this bill
which is expected to bring in some
two hundred million dollars will alb
solutely fail to meet even the require
ments for the ill-advised and certainly
not urgent projects authorized by the
present Congress.
at is now claimed that these pro-
jects are to be financed by the issu-
ance Of Panama Canal bonds. The
American people will regard such a
proceeding as very queer one be-
cause the issuing of bonds by the
Cleveland Administration largely help
ed to bring about the downfall Of the
Democratic party in 1896. A bond
issue has ever since been viewed with
adherence by the Democracy; now,
we find the party leaders compelled
by reason of their extravaganza and
inefficiency, to resort to 1t.
"To defray the expenses Of nitrate
plant and of a shipping board and
many other needless projects by the
issuing of Panama bonds will be in
the last analysis equivalent to paying
for them by bond issues. These bonds
are lying in the treasury un1ssued as
the result of the thrift and economy
and wise administration of the Repub
lican party.
"Only about $13OOOO,0OO Of bonds
were put out in the construction OF the
Panama Canal The balance of the
cost of that stupendous undertaking
was paid out of current revenues;
and now, to advance the novel doc
trine that these bonds which repre-
sent the thrift of preceding years
shall be issued for these questionable
projects is, to my mind, preposterous.
In fact, it was expressly provided in
the Spooner Act that Panama Canal
bonds should not be issued for any
other purpose than that Of the con-
struction of the Canal, and the in
genious theory that they can be is
sued now to repay the treasury and
that then the money can be squan-
dered by the party III power to finance
doubtful projects and to make good
deficit will not alter the fact that
such a deficit exists.
mo amount of reasoning on the
part of the Chairman of the Commit
tee on Finance will alter the fact
that outside of preparedness there has
been at least $200,000,000 of wasteful
appropriations and expenditures by
the present Congress. That condition
of the treasury will absolutely neces
state the Withholding of contracts
for battleships and delay the whole
scheme of preparedness.
"The figures of the Secretary of
the Treasury may be juggled as they
may, but when the Secretary is up
against the brute fact of not having
money to pay for these projects he
will then find that figures will not
make surplus in the treasury"

GEN. JOFFRE H0N0RS
AN AMERICAN WOMAN
Miss Casette, of Chicago, First
TO Meet French Commander.

Paris, Aug. S.-The first American
woman to be presented to General
Joffre at his headquarters is Miss
Grace Casette, a Chicago artist.
Learning that Miss Casette was in the
military zone introducing a new surgl-
cal bandage. the French commander
in chief invited her TO pay him visit.
General Joffre told Miss Casette he
was especially glad ito take this OPP
portunty of expressing gratitude for
the personal services of American
women" in the war and made compli-
nlentary references to the American
ambulance work.
Miss Casette says she was impressed
by the generals silent force and calm
determination. When he received her
General Joffre wore his engineer uni
form, which bore no decorations except
the stars denoting his rank.
Miss Casette was accompanied to
headquarters by the mother of the
communal, Mrs. John F. Bass, and Nor
man Scott.
General Joffre was presented with
pipe in case lined with the flags OF
the Allied nations by the communal.
He remarked that he appreciated the
souvenir, but that he did not smoke.
Miss Casette has worked for the last
two years with the American ambu-
lance at Neuilly.
