FIGHTING RAILROAD PASS SYSTEM
Does Not Believe California Railroad
Commission Members Entitled to
Free Rides

Reno Gazette: ]. E. Sexton. gen.
eral manager of the Eureka and Pali-
sade railroad, operating between
Palisade and Eureka in Eureka Coun-
ty, who also is stockholder in the
Santa Fe, is waging a fight in Cali
fornia to prevent railroads from is
suing passes to members of the Cali
fornia railroad commission or it's en-
ployes and to enjoin the railroad
commission from enforcing penaliz-
ing provisions of the California pub
lie utilities act in event of refusal by
the railroads to issue such passes.
Sexton started his suit last March
and Superior Judge Seawell of San
Francisco decided against him. The
California supreme court upheld Sea-
we'll and now Sexton has carried the
case to the United States district
court. He says he is prepared to
take the controversy to the supreme
court of the United States should the
United States district court decide
against him.
The plaintiff in the suit claims the
sections of the public utilities act en-
titling Railroad Commission members
and employees to free transportation
while in the performance of their Of
ficial duties. which include not only
the regulation of railroad companies,
but gas. electric, telephone companies
and other public utilities, are uncon-
stitutional in that the provisions of
the sections deprive the railroads of
property without due process Of law.
Sexton alleges it is.illegal to force
the railroads to furnish transporta-
ton to State officials on business in
no way connected with railroading.

NEVADA PRESS COMMENT
Curse of The Credit System

Curse of The Credit System
Tonopah Bonanza: Tonopah busi-
ness men should learn the value of
paying more attention to cash custom
ers and their patrons who run short
time credits, settling up promptly
every pay day, by giving that class
Of citizens the benefit of the closest
shaded prices consistent with rea-
sonable profit. There has been too
much credit in the Tonopah method
of doing business and the consequence
is that the cash buyer has to stand
the brunt of the losses by paying
more for his supplies than would be
the case were he to receive the bene-
fit of paying as you go. A recent
illustration is found in the manage
ment of cafe which was capitalized
by nerve and conducted on the skin
'em as you go principle. These men,
without any credit or business ante
cedents, found no difficulty in victi-
MIXING all classes of merchants and
tradesmen, who apparently were
quite willing to be offered on the
altar as sacrifice to their own un-
business like methods. 1t is queer
commentary on local lack of system
in these days of credit associations
and boards of trade to advise mer-
chants of the standing of applicants
for credit that plausible rascals with
out moral fiber should receive the
slightest encouragement from firms
whose books are already overbur'
dened with bad debts. From the
facility with which these sharks oper-
ate it is inferred that the Tonopah
business men relish the treatment
they receive, but these same business
men should not complain when they
find their cash customers patronlzlng
the mail order houses rather than
sharing the losses incurred by such
execrable mismanagement. 1t is up
to the merchant to say if he prefers
the patronage of bilks rather than
the steady business of the wage earn
er who has to make the most of his
pay check in supporting and rearing
in respect and honor the family that
adOrns his little home.

Obituary.

On Jan: II, death entered our COM
munity and claimed for its victim
Bryant Niece, who resided near Font
hill. He was quite an industrious
young man. He was respected by all
who knew him! Our community has
lost noble citizin and his presence In
this community will be greatly miss
ed. He was stricken with pneumonia
and lived only days. He was In the
prime Of young manhood, seemingl y
should have lived to an advanced age,
but the Lord saw fit to call him away.
We feel our loss was his eternal
gain. He leaves a wife, children,
an aged mother, sisters and broth
ers, a large circle Of relatives and
friends to mourn his loss. After fu-
neral services conducted by Rev. j.
NJ. Williams, the remains-were laid to
rest by the Masonic Fraternity, in
the Friendship cemetery, there to
await the resurrection.

A Splendid Stock Of Goods for Sale

Having sold my farm, my mind is
made up to remove to a Western State,
and now desire to sell my large stock
of general merchandise, consisting of
everything kept in a. first-class store.
The stock is freSh-no hard lots in it,
hence the opportunity is open for some
man who wants to engage in the mer-
camille business. There is more mon
ey in circulation at this time than for
several years in the past, and the out
look Is encouraging for 1911.
My reason for selling is that l have
decided to go West. My business is
good, and 1 have as good if.not the
best location in Columbia. If you de-
sire to engage in the mercantile bus
mess in this place, The opportunity is
now open to some man who wants a
bargain. l am in position to offer in
viting inducements in prices and
terms am ready to show any pros
pective purchaser through my stock.
