EMERGENCY FREIGHT RATES
ARE GRANTED STOCKMEN

Emergency freight rates recent
ly announced by the Southern Pa
cific railway company to cover the
movement Of sheep from winter
ranges to feeding points and lamb
ing grounds for western Nevada,
are to be extended to cover other
sections Of the state, according to
advice received by J. N. Fulton,
local agent Of the company, to
Vernon Metcalf, secretary Of the
Nevada Livestock Growers sssoci-
alton.
The matter Of an extension was
taken up with Mr.. Fulton by Mr..
Aetcaf following receipt Of in
quires from fockmasters in nor
thern Lander and Eureka coun-
ties who are facing difficulty in
trailing their sheep from the des-
ert ranges to their lambing grounds
In Elko county. Owing to the
continued unfavorable weather,
lack OF range feed and deep snow
remaining in the higher hills.
According to Mr.. Me tcalf, Mr..
Fulton has reiterated the desire
Of the Southern Pacific company to
cooperate to the fullest extent in
holding losses Of sheep due to the
unfavorable climatic conditions to
. minimum and has notified the
livestock association that stock cars
will be provided promptly for such
movements upon the reasonable no
tice from stockmen desiring to take
advantage Of the emergency rates,
which provide for q twenty-five per
cent reduction over the usual
charges between local points in Ne
vada for such service.

PRITHEE WHAT IS
TAX RATE LIMIT

What Is the tax rate limit in Ne
vada? Perhaps in ninety-nine cases
out Of a hundred the persons cues
TONED, whether lawyers, state. coun-
ty, district. town or city officers. OF
ordinary citizens will answer five
dollars on the hundred of valua-
tion," meaning that the combined
rates for state, county, district and
city purpose may not exceed five DER
cent according to law. But. ia n
true! For example, may the CITY
council or board Of Fallon levy for
city purpose city tax of one per
cent even though the combined state
and county rates may be, say, four
and one-half per cent or more
though not in excess of five? Il ha.
been generally understood that the
combined rate levy could not be
higher than FIVE per cent and in the
cases OF Carson, Fallon, Tonopah
and Goldfield boards have at times
been compelled to do some close
nguring to keep the rate under five
cents on the dollar.
However, lawyers, who have been
giving the subject some thought
and study are not certain that the
five per cent limit applies to more
than county purposes. Some take
the position that a city board may
levy the maximum rate allowed by
the charter in excess of the five
per cent combined county and state
rate. Others maintain that the law
can be construed to mean that the
five dollars q hundred limit is in
tended to limit taxes for county
purposes only; that the state levy is
not necessarily to be included in the
five per cent maximum. According
to those taking the last view it
would be possible for the commits
sioners Of Ormbsy to fix the county
rate at five dollars on the hundred,
without any regard whatever to the
state rate fixed by law or the rate
for the city Of Carson.-Carson

EDGAR M. LANE ENTERS
RACE FOR STATE OFFICE
Attorney of Raleigh Seeks
Judgeship of Supreme
Court

nent attorney OF Ralelgn, Sm1Ln
county, has announced as cam
didate for the Mississippi Su-
preme Court JudgeShip, from
the Southern district, opening
headquarters in Hattiesburg,
from which he will conduct an
aggressive campaign until the
August primary. The head
quarters are in charge of a
brother of the candidate.
Mr.. Lanes entry into the
race came as a result of long,
continued and insistent de-
.mands from friends and ad-
mirers all over the district, who
had observed his brilliant record
of eight years of service in the
state legislature, first as sena-
tor, later representative. Many
important assignments brought
Mr.. Lane into very active ser
vice for his state, and his legis-
lative record as along progress
i've and constructive lines. His
friends predict that he will be
nominated in the August pri-
mary and take to the supreme
bench a wealth of ability and
judgement that will reflect Gre
dit upon himself, his district
and his state.
The Smith County Reformer,
of Riley, published in Mr.. Lanes
home town, in speaking of the
candidate says in part;
Senator Lane is very popu-
lar throughout South MISSISSIPPI
pi, the result of eight years con-
tinuous service in the state le-
gislature, where his splendid in
tellect and great legal ability
early stamped him as one of the
few really strong men OF that
body. He is a native of Missis-
sippi, 38 years of age, a gradu-
ate of the literary department
of Mississippi College and of the
law department of the Univer-
sity of Virginia. AS an attor-
ney he has built up a large and
lucrative practice and is uni
versally recognized as one of
the brightest legal minds in
South Mississippi. But this re-
cognition of his literary and le-
gal acumen was not all that
prompted Senator Lanes
friends in urging his candidacy
for the supreme court pudge-
ship. They recognized in Sena-
tor Lane a really strong char
acter upon whom no body or
corporation has any strings; a
man who carries his head upon
his own shoulders and whose
opinions, if elevated to the
bench, would not be colored by
bias or political expediency.
To this recognition we, as a
lifelong friend, are delighted to
add our approval. Mississippi
needs her biggest and best men
on the supreme bench and we
believe that Senator Lane is one
of them"
Mr.. Lane makes the follow
rg announcement concerning
lis candidacy:
To the Democratic Men and
Women:
I am a candidate for judge of
the Supreme Court from the
Southern District. If elected
to this high and important Of
fee I will devote my best energy
and talent to the faithful dis
charge of the duties of the of
flee. In the selection of a per-
son to fill this most important
office I feel sure the people of
the district in casting their bal
lots, will be guided by a sense
of duty and not by any notion
that the governors appointee
must be elected as an endorse

FOR GOVERNOR. OF STATE

Il u rA
Columbus, Miss, June 90
Henry L. Whitfield has formal
ly announced as a candidate for
governor of Mississippi. His
announcement came in response
to insistent demands from peo-
pie from all sections of the state
in the form of petitions, letters
and personal solicitations.
For months these solicita-
tions have been coming to him,
and his announcement has been
awaited with keen interest in all
sections Of the state. Not until
today, however, did he formally
reach the decision to enter the
race.
Mr.. Whitfield for 13 years
was president Of the Mississippi
State College for Women, form
erly the I. I. & C. He served
the state as superintedent Of
education for nine years, and
rendered a conspicuous service
to the state in an educational
way. He has been in public life
in Mississippi for more than 20
years and is probably in closer
touch with the people and con-
ditions in the state, and he per-
haps has a larger appreciation
Of the states problems than any
other man in the commonwealth.
For two years he has been
actively engaged in farming in
Lowndes county, and at the B.
L. Jones Farm School, which is
under the control of the Masons
in Mississippi.
At the proper time, Mr.. Whit
field will actively enter the
campaign, which will be main
tanned on the highest possible
plane, free from bitter person
alities and factional mudsling-
ing.

he'd nlled me up with dope, he would
say, I'll do my best; with his sick

rest. Do not let him walk a step,
let his sleep be long and sweet, and
III stake my well known rep that
he'll soon be on his feet" There
was sense in being i'll in those bright
days gone so long. when the saw
