1t is obvious that English aircraft

rumor Of an early service Of super
Zeppelins from Berlin to New York,
Chicago and San Francisco. which has
been banded about for a month
or so, was seriously treated at ,the
Guildhall conference; in fact, it was
made the basis for an appeal for
prompt British embarkation upon pol

greater, airships.

The appeal finds the more response
because London recently has witnessed

large ships from the airdrome AT Croy-
don were employed to give the dele

stration of their ability.
1t is computed that the cost OF carry
ing passengers in one Of the great
dirigible airships of the future would
be about 20 cents passenger-mile. or
approximately twice the present aver
age first-class steamship rate. The
rate for carrying mails would be from
ten to sixteen cents an ounce for 5000

Interesting prophecies also were

NEVADA COMMISSION
AFTER THE RAILROADS

The Nevada public service commits
sion has sent the following to the etaic
press:
Tho interstate commits
sion hearing on advance rates ard
fares, which was originally set for
Carson City December 1. 1870. has been
changed to Reno December 8. This
case involves the attack of the Nevada
railroads upon the railroad commission
of Nevada on account of the refusal
of that commission to grant horizon
tai increases on intrastate business
corresponding with the 20 TO 30 per
cent horizontal increases in rates aud
fares by the federal commission In in
terstate business.
1T will be recalled that the all
roads at the hearing before the state
commission refused to submit ary
evidence upon the issues. but it APP
peared that the Nevada rates and fares
were already higher than those Of
other states. and without any showing
of necessity FOR an increase the APP
~plication WIS denied.
THE case is of vital interest To the
people OF Nevada and the corning hear
ing Will be one step in determining
whether he internal railroad matters
of the state will be regulated by local
officials or by federal officers In Wash
ington. who mo know and will not
be greatly interested in the needs of
our people. In every case where pro-
ducers. shippers INT consumers have
an interest in rates and fares and in
preserving their local government they
should send at once to the railroad
public service commission a strong
statement regarding the matter aud re.
questing such adjustment as ray be
necessary "a their community or in
dustries.
THE public service commission has
instituted n proceeding against the
Southern Pacific Company. the West
ern Pacific railroad and the Los An
geles & Salt Lake railroad directing
them to show cause why their present
intrastate passenger fares of |, 5 and
6 cents per mile should not be reduced
to sc cents Per mile. and why meals
should not be served in their respective
diners at more moderate prices.
1.-THE interstate passenger fares from
within to without n vice versa on
these railroads have been increased 60
per cent by the federal commissions
order In ex parte ~. effective August
&c. 1920. therefore range from 4.s cents
10 7.2 cents per mile. while both the
interstate and state fares in practically
all other states are but IS cents per
mile. Compared with prewar times
the Nevada fares arc exceedingly high
because all ~round-trip fares and scrip
books have been Withdrawn.
An application for a reduction in
passenger fares was filed some time
ago by the commissions of Arizona, Ne
vada and New Mexico. directed against
the unreasonable interstate rates. and
is now pending before the interstate
commission.
THE Nevada ease Is set for hearing
at Carson City December Is. 1920, at
1910 a. m. and all VINO are interested
in the question should appear at the
hearing and demand their rights or
