RAILROADS KILLING
THE GOLDEN GOOSE

The man who travels by railroad
from Elko to Reno today must pay the
railroad s2.72 more than yesterday;
and IL he takes a Pullman 1t will cost
him $4.05 additional; and on top of
all this you will have to. pay the gov
ernment tax, which amounts to con-
siderable. This is because this is
the day when the increased railroad
rates go into effect, as ordered by the
interstate railroad commission, says
the Elko Free Press.
The railroads are now complaining
that their income has fallen off since
last fall. They should know the rea-
son why by this time. and the
chances are that In six months from
now their busine IS will be less than
1t is today. The public will stand to
be held up to a certain point, and 1t
then rebels, and this point has been
reached.
Nevada. in point Of population, is
the smallest state in the Union, and
pays the highest passenger and
freight rates OF all the states. There
can be but one explanation and that
is that the influence from within the
state is not as strong as without. The
railroad is taking advantage of this
fact. and have persuaded the mem
bers of the railroad commission that
it is right to charge more within the
Nevada state lines, because there is
less business. and consequently It
costs the railroads more to haul their
trains. They overlook the fact that
the trains are not run for the con-
venience of the inhabitants of the
state or to handle the business de-
veloped In Nevada, but must run to
take care Of their interstate business,
and that IL there was not a single pas
senger picked up in Nevada, the
trains would run just the same.
The people of Nevada would have
no complaint nor would they COM
plain. provided they were given the
same treatment as the other states,
and were charged the same rates.
But Nevada today is charged SO per
cent more in some cases than some
of the other states, that is on freight
and passenger business produced
within the state. People can travel
from Ogden to San Francisco and
cross Nevada at the same rate
charged within the state of Utah and
California. But people starting from
Elko to Ogden must pay the in
creased rate to the Nevada-Utah line,
and then the other rate applies. On
coming to Elko from San Francisco
they are allowed the regular rate in
California until they strike the Ne
vada line, when the increased rate is
put into effect and collected. In
other words the railroads are throt-
thing the business of Nevada by
bleeding it white. Freight is charged
more here than outside of the state,
and thus no farm products can be
raised and shipped; factories can
not be established within the con-
fines Of Nevada as the freight rates
are so prohibitive that the output
cannot compete with factories in
other states.
The railroads are setting up a
great howl about the loss of business
In passenger travel and in the amount
of freight shipments, but they them
selves are to blame for the condi-

New York, May 12lChina is
seeking the support of public opin-
ion in the United States and the
British dominions to prevent the
renewal of the .Anglo-Japanese
treaty. Bertram Lenox Simpson, ad-
wiser to the president Of China and
statistician to the Chinese govern
ment, declared in a statement made
public here today.
China has been confidentially in
formed. MIR. Simpson declared. that
the phrase regional understand
ings" in article q of the covenant
OF the League Of Nations was Sc
lected by British and Japanese
statesmen with the purpose of lat
er contending that the Anglo-Jap-
anese treaty was such regional
understanding" with respect TO
China. If this article remains in
the covenant it means that "the IN
derstanding" of Japan and England
becomes acknowledged law of the
Orient.
Mr.. Simpson declared that China
has sent a special delegate to Paris
and Geneva to protest against the
inclusion of such a clause in the
revised covenant.

 Such a statement could be designed only To prejudice American opinion against the brave ans suffering people who bore the brunt of Germanys savage attack civilization. It is cruel and un- just charge. It is false charge. It is due to France that the American public should be advised of the facts
 In the first place, it would be natural for a stricken people to every effort to rehabilitate themselves speedily possible But the French Government has provided large sums for the restora ton of this area all of which raised by internal loans Eighty per cent of the destroyed industrial plants has been rebuilt is in of rebuilding In 1920 these plants produced about 55 per cent of their pre-war output At the time of the armstice the poulation of the devastated had dropped to less than 000,000. By June 1920 it reached 4,OO0, 0O0 only a little less than the population before the war Of almost 100000 acres of arable land within this area, all but about 295,000 acres have been restored to cultivation. Machinery of the value of 4,372 GOO francs has been provided by the Govern ment for the farmers.
 The production of agricultural products in the devastated has reached 80 per cent of it's pre-war volume, and Northern France again is self supporting far the local supply of food is concerned.
 About 250 900 buildings which partly de- destroyed have been reconstruced While 36000 build ings have been completely rebuilt Municipal life has been resumed in 5000 ravaged communes and 5000 schools have been rebuilt.
 These facts. They might be multiplied in definitely But enough is given here to prove the effrontery and falsehood of the formal German state ment Moreover, these facts prove the unanswerable justice the claim of France for adequate repara- ton if she is to hope to compete with her relent nieghbor This reparation should be made the fullest extent of Germany's ability to pay
