MAKING FRIENDS WITH THE
SHIPPER.

Railroads are coming back TO the
first principles They are bidding
for business. This means they are
zo.ng to run more trains. fuller cars,
fewer empties and, altogether, op-
crate On a more efficient basis than
has been the war custom. The war
spoiled a lot Of good railroad men in
the making by teaching indifference
70 business and in failing 70 impress
the one outstanding issue Of every
business thar the profit and loss ac-
count al the end Of the year must
show credit in the right column or
the enterprise must perish. Prodi-
gal EaYits and wastefulness cultiyat-
Cd during the war have been pro-
ducgEve OF vicious treatment Of con-
7umers and rpodgcers alike with the
resu.f that both sides brew bitter
and wrothy whenever the question
of transportation was preached The
recent heading at Carson City on
the urgency Of more moderate rates
on all classes OF ore proved a revela-
ton TO the mine representatives in
attendance. These men found the
railroad agents in a chastened mood,
willing 10 make concessions, asking
for information and urging the
small miner to get busy in showing
tonnage. The session brought out
a more conciltatory spirit on the part
of the carriers and created a favor,
I able impression on the shippers The
/ former admitted they had been too
/ Iursoue in their treatment of TIE
could not amass more than a few
/ tons of ore through months OF hard
work and painstaking diligence and
/ therefore they tentatively promised
the small miner to make an attrac-
( tive offering that would induce him
( TO send small lots of from two to
/ five tens to the smelter at one time
/ without waiting for the distant day
vixen itG could gather together to
! so tons 10 gain the benefit of carload
rates This Is wise move and one
/ thar VIII be appreciated BY the men
/ whose efforts make mines in the
/ wilderness and who cannot continue
unless they have some means of dis
! posing of their small gobs of ore.
I One of the surprises was the state
ment from a representative of the
smelling interests that rates had re-
verted to pre-war schedule and that
the smelters were in the field with
Inducements to shippers to get out
all the ore they can as this was the
opportunity to realize to the fullest
advantage.
These statements well be received
with appreciation by the men who
are going into Royston on a shoe
string with the belief that they caH
make a camp of permanency and en-
durance by their own efforts withou

PLAIN FOOD.

Prosperity has ruined many a
stomach. When money was hush
along in wartime and for year or
so after, people slipped away from
plain food and bought Holsters, fancy
iellies, candied fruits and high-pric-
&C canned meats, Now comes big
Ohio groear--he has over 700 retail
tores-and he tells national con
vention of Gamers thai Tancy food is
going out and plain, old-fashioned
jtapies--like canned tomatoes and
eorned beef and cabbage--are com
ing back. This is bad news for those
who deal in such things, and its bad

Credit and Common Sense

Credit is simply the belief of some man
in your good common sense; and, with mutual
confidence, goods are exchanged for your
promise Some promises are as good as the
promise which makes United States Gold
Note valuable; and other promises are not
Worsa a (censored,)
fair test Of the worth of promise is the
tet OF promptness-for promptness is recog-
LlZed as the greatest builder Of credit Thus,
man has paid during the past at the
agreed time, it is likely that he will do so
aSain-and his credit is good and you can rec
ommend this man your friends without fear
of hurting your friends. At times, Of course,
this man might not be able to pay exactly at
the agreed time but he will always be able to
teli.you; SO that you will not be doubly hurt
and by his promptness in doing this you will
know that his new promise is valuable
And while you may be sorry that this man
was Aot able TO pay exactly at the agreed time,
is it not great pleasure to be able to return
help to such man who by his promptness has
certainly been of help to you at other times?
The Phoebe Pharmacy uses this test Of
promptness and in all its small transactions
this single test is ever held wildly in view
II man is not prompt it weakens his credit
II he habitually violates the courtesy of
promptness his credit at this store is no good
even if he has seven million dollars and
willingly, we will not do amy credit business
with him.

The CARSON CITY CoNFERESCE

That large majority o. the min
ing properties Of Nevada are unable
IL operate rroftably under pr sat
freight rates and that the cost q
ral transportation is also diseouraz-
ing the development Of mineral pros
poets was clearly brought out in the
conference held a. Carson City a few
DAYS ago between representative ~
the mining interests. the railroads
the smel,ers and the railroad COM
sion. The net result OF the con-
ference was 4 showing TO the effect
that the mining industry in Nevada
Is in a state Of most serious deprez-
On and that the railroads hold the
key 10 the situation.
Evidence submitted by the Nevada
Nine Operators association shows
Thar the mineral production for 1921
viii be only a little more than one
fourth Of what 80 vas a few years
ago. with every advance in freight
rates mine production has coiue.-
sllally declined. Within the last
year the cost Of labor, lumber and
garious materials has fallen. but ia
spite OF this, numerous silver and
gold properties. with a guaranteed
price for their product, have closes
down Or found IT Improbable to OF
crate on account Of high transporta-
ton and smelter charges.
The conference disclosed that the
smelters are little better OF than the
mining companies. Testimony was
submitted showing that they are
now operating at little better than
oue-third capacity and that they
have been compelled to advance
/ treatment charges owing TO the ex-
cessiye cost Of shipping fuxing ores,
which are necessary to the treat
ment Of ores from Nevada. Until the
rates are reduced upon fuxing ores,
/ they insist. It viii be impossible for
them to return to treatment charges
that approximate those of the pre-
war period.
The case is one in which a para
mount industry of an entire state is
in a condition of paralysis through
the maintenance of freight rates
that are uneconomic. They are not
only destructive to a great industry
but are Improbable to the railroad
companies themselves, because they
have actually killed freight traffic
to an enormous extent. Unless the
ores and concentrates can be NOV
1 ed to the smelters, the communities
producing them and the cities serv-
ing them will suffer, and heavy loss
of freight tonnage will become a
certain consequence.
The mine operators and the. Ne
yada railroad commission exercised
sound judgment in callig the con
/ ference. To rectify the situation
through proceedings brought before
the interstate commerce commission
would require at least two years
time and would provike a confiic
between the carriers and the indus
tries concerned, between which til,
most cordial cooperation Shout,
, prevail. At the Carson City meet
