MAN. THE CREATOR
A funny man, Sims.

MAN, HE CkEAiOk-.
George Pullman's first Pullman sleeping
crude that Ratchet and nails had to be used in making
up the berths
Pumap's friends, who took the first trip, awakened
next morning, tagged out and aching if they had
been prize-fghtng all night.
After that first trip, which still is remembered
wildly by many living, Pullmans idea source
of merriment.
All inventions and ideas crude when they
born. No matter how brilliant your idea infinite
patience is needed, along with much burning of mid
night oil before the crude idea evolved into polished
near-perfection.
The rounded corners Of Pullman vestibules
conceived by porter He had weared of being the
target for the wrath Of passengers who had struck
violently the former sharp when the train
rounded a curve.
Porters for many years patiently took the kicks OF
passengers who had their clothes spashed with water
that lurched out of Pullman wash-basins. Then
porter got the idea Of projecting the top edges of the
wash-basins inward, that the water not apt to
lurch out no matter how roughly the train rode.
In an almost infinite number of details the Pullman
car was improved by the porters until today it is
probable that porters have had to do with giving
us the Pullman palace than the original inventor.
The man who uses device knows more about it than
the man who originated it.
Nearly every continuance that we use in civilization
Ia the result of combined effort Of thousands OF minds
All humans have the creative instinct, the desire
IN build and improve. Man is the tool of great
creative force that work all through the universe
The only life that really is worth while is the one
that contributes to the progress OF humanity mat Is
the real success.

A FINE BUNCH OF
GRANTED BEEVES

Some of the choicest beef ever
sold in this part Of Nevada is soon
to be marketed by Phil Aljets, fore
man of Arthur Smiths Georgetown
ranch. It consists of forty-five head
of registered Hereford yearling
steers that are being granted, re-
ports the White Pine news.
All of these were range calves
last year and besides being at
disadvantage in size for that reason
were as wild as deer. Since they
have been in the feed yard they
have become the most docile Of pets
and will follow a stranger over the
yard to be petted.
They will average at this time
about $50 pounds and a few will
go as high as $50 pounds. Naturally
they will bring better price than
probably any other cattle sold this
season.
In addition Mrs. Aljets has a
bunch of dry cows that have been
fattened in another yard on hay and
their condition is excellent. OF their
kind they will be hard to beat.
The ranch raises thoroughbred
Berkshire hogs on a good scale and
has number of registered sows
that are soon to farrow. No picture
of hog has better marks of the
breed than these in life.

THE MENACE OF THE ROAD

When the first railroad built and trains were
run at the heretofore unheardof speed of 10 miles
an hour folk stood aghast and declared it was an
instrument of the devil
Fortunately the number of persons still viewing the
automobile from this angle is not as large as it once
was. Fifteen years ago the who owned a horse
thought the automobile abomnation conceived
to make the roads hideous for horsemen Now he
owns an automobile and thinks horses should be barred
from the road.
But the other a member of the PENNSYLVANIA
state senate cast longing glance back toward the
good old days of prosac tranquility on the roads and
introduced bill to limit mechanically the speed Of
automobiles to 80 miles hour Ho Hum
He would step the gas only with progress in
reverse
Everybody knows-that is, everybody except the
pennsylvania senator that a small car of popular
make travelling at 35 miles an hours is far more
dangerous vehicle than huge six, eight or 12-cynder
car travelling at so miles hour, because the driver
OF the former does not have the control the driver
the latter has Yet the Pennsylvania Solomonic solon
would limit the speed of the $4,000 car to that of the
1898 one.
Everybody knows also-that is, everybody except the
aforesaid senator-tha good diver is far less of
menace the road driving SO miles an hour thar
poor driver juggling" along at 10 miles an hour
Incompetent drivers not speed, are the menace OF
the road.

PRESIDENTS STAND FAIR

The administration is understood to be frowning
on the Mellon proposal that the maximum surtax rate
be further lowered. The secretary's contention has
been that because reduction has boosted income
tax collections this spring ANOTHER should continue the
good work. The president is believed not to object
to tax rate reductions that produce large return
feels that to be fair the reduction should be scaled
down the line to include all taxpayers
Possibly his objection is based on an abstract feel
ing for equality. Another objection
might be registered to second item in the secretarys
case Tor lower surtax maximum, which is that the
lower rate will Increase the fund of capital which
is constantly being poured from industry back into
industry in the shape of investments. This is
very excellent reason indeed and would make strong
case for combining the tax reduction to large incomes
If not for the fact that smaller incomes assume
most Of this burden of financing industry.
Many small taxpayers invest directly in securities
that make industry possible. But mainly through
savings banks, insurance companies and the like do the
payers Of low rate taxes furnish the wherewha that
keeps wheels turning. Industrys working capital is
not confined to the hands Of the surtax payers the
great bulk of it owned by small who put it to
work through collective agencies.
There is more to the for scaled reductions
than any sentimental solicitude for the small
taxpayer.

EATING ONES CAKE

great many people got into the habit during the
period Of big profits and high wages of spending money
freely They INDUCED in a great many luxuries that
they could do without, taking no thought of the
morrow. Some of them, longer required to pay
income taxes have come to the conclusion that zone
cannot eat his cake and have it too"
Legally, these people had a perfect right to spend
their money as they pleased. They came by their
money honestly, and if they wanted to crafty wish
or indulge in things they had neved been able to
afford, it was nobodys business if they did so. In
deed, some of them justified in obtaining some
good things of life, and if they have spent their
money for them, they undoubtedly better off than
they were before. The dough" may be lacking but
II expended udicialy those who spent it have gained
wider experience and obtained broader views of life.
Only people who "blew their money in" assume a
responsibility which they morally had right as
sumo And such people, generally the ones who
today are putting up the "holer" because they no
longer have "bg profits and high wages" They have
created for themselves and those dependent on them
habits and tastes which they longer pursue and
crafty, and in their discomfort blaming everybody
but themselves for having to readjust themselves to
normal conditions of life The immortality of ex-
travagance lies in expenditure that has not been war
ranted under normal conditions and is not warranted
under abnormal conditions for the reason that abnormal
will sooner or later react to normal
realization that the cake has been eaten that
causing to considerable extent the discomfort now
prevailing Men who made big profits and spent them
are dissatisfied with smaller profits which do not permit
the reckless expenditure they INDUCED in. Men who
earned high wages and spent them injudiciousy are
resentfu that wages earned do not permit them
to live as formerly. Such results natural yet this
does not aid them in accommodating themselves to
conditions which they liked and thought they had
gotten away from. Natural law is less understood by
the average man woman than statute law is, and
forces powerful than social customs are ignored
if known until the day of reckoning comes.
War compelled the peoples of devasted European
countries to return to conditions of living from which
was pent
for shot, SHE'LL and trench. Their cake was eaten but
in the of eating there is inspiration for the
creation of wealth. In contrast rotous living on the
profits of Europe's led the American people to
eat their cake, and left them with less incentive to
make the best of the situation, though they can if
they will pull themselves of their present slough
of despond and live comfortably than Europeans
can for generations to come

boy, one of those whom Foridas charms allured.
But Martin had money, and instead of swimming,

Now two states wrathful, and the whole country
shocked For young Tabert sentenced under an
archaic code and victim of the lash of an overseer
died in malarial prison camp. Thus the country at
large came to learn that peonags still exists. The
North Dakota legislature holly demanded investga
ton The Florida legislators cold with resentment and
shame, have decided to investigate.
Tabert. the preliminary inquiry shows, sentenced
to pay fine spend 80 days in prison camp Hav-
ing money, he was leased by county in Florida to
. contractor. When relatives in North Dakota learned
Of his plight, they sent money to pay his fine, but the
sheriff was poweress to get the boy back. Young
tabert complained to his boss because his shoes
too small. Ninetysix lashes his punishment He
contracted malaria and died. For than year
his body lay in unmarked grave in of the
Wet camps. Then the belated inquiry.
Leasing of convicts by states is relic of slavery
which states have discarded The Florida system
of county leasing is of the few survvas That it
will be abolished in the wake of the Tabert investga
tion seems unquestioned More than 1000 white
and black, said have felt the overseers lash in
Florida prison camps during the past year. That state
is too proud of her virtues to permit for long such
barbaric institution to continue.

THE END

Subsistence of the continents beneath the seas and
the drowning of the is the latest scientific guess
as to the end Of the world-some 25,O0000O years
hence For this last, much thanks
There still remains to plenty of time in which
TO enjoy himself and to get something out of life In
the meantime, he will doubtless be treated to many
variations OF theory as to the end-a Only few
weeks scientists soemnly gave warning of an end
ing by drought, with receding and land becoming
too arid and torrd for existence
Between being dried out and being drowned there
may not be much choice, but there is wide range of
difference In between there is for innumerable
variations, and beyond there is room for even wilder
fancles and guesses 1t seems that scientific alarmsts
can not long remain silent this subject Very often
prophets rise up to forecast the end Many have
been SO rash to cast their disaster for early date
and accordingly have been discredited by failure.
Later prophets have generally adopted the safer
rule of fixing the endal at remote time Now
that this warning has been issued, the world public may
get set for the next guess which will not be long in
coming if scientific aarmsts keep up their prophetic
gait

RAILROAD TO SALT
MINES IN PROSPECT

Investigation is again being made
to determine the feasibility of build
ing railroad spur from Fallon to
Salt Wells for the purpose OF ship
ping salt from one of the largest
deposits in the United States, ac-
cording to statements made by VIII
liam A. Woods of the Illinois Gen.
trail railroad, who recently visited
the deposits, says the Goldfeld Trib-
une.
The deposits cover 1920 acres and
are of depth averaging about so
feet, as nearly as has been deter
mined by test holes. 1t is variously
estimated that there are between
sixty and two hundred million tons
of salt at this place, of a purity
above SO per cent. Hot springs con-
tanning salt overflow the deposits,
and every year it is estimated 200,-
900 pounds more salt is left. This
is the largest surface deposit of
salt, and is one of the purest, on
this continent, it is believed. No
further refining is required for table
use or packing house consumption.

A FUNNY MAN, SIMS

~
Rear-Admiral w. S. SIMS u. s. navy retired, gets
some comcal ideas. His latest criticism of things in
the country that honored him with high command is
that there is not "a competent military critic any
newspaper in the United States" while in Europe
there isn't newspaper without one."
In less busy times this state of affairs would war
rant a national "Te Dum," for this is grateful
characteristic of the American press not previously
given its due recognition.
1t will be recalled by detached readers that Ad-
miral Sims is himself employed and doubtless, would
be- willing to supply the deficiency he notes in such
plain speech. Whether American newspapers would be
improved by the addition of such expert and persistent
discussion Of war-rumors keep European communi-
ties in ferment is doubtful Also is distinctly
membered that commanders in the field and afoat par
tcularly resented the authority of the newspaper
perts who sought to, and in certain degree did, run
the war.
Whole books have been published, many of them,
revolving around this very point Admiral Sims,
former commanding officer, should appreciate the
matter.
And in the last analysis American newspapers have
far more important services to give to their
munities than the rubbish of war-hunting superan-
nuates.

are enough, however, to prove con-
clusively the direct and tangible
benefits to local merchants in every
case. Some will argue that this
benefits is confined only to certain
classes of merchandise, but nothing
could be more fallacious than such
an objection. Any direct increment
to the cash assets of a community
is bound to affect to a greater or
less extent every person in that
community. If Jones, the garage
man, sells more tires and supplies,
he will in turn buy more Injuries
for his wife. Perhaps he will pur-
chase new monograph from Smith,
who in turn will buy a new suit
of clothes from Brown. Thus the
general purchasing power of the
whole community is increased di-
rectly in proportion to the extra
sales to passing tourists"
