Entered as Matter of the Second Class at the Postoffice at Carson Citj, Nevada,

ARE WE READY FOR DUCKING CHAIR
Enactment of a Sunday "blue law" prohibiting among other
things the operation of Sunday trains and excluding Sunday news
papers from the mails will be urged by the Methodist Central Sab
bath Crusade committee in a petition to be presented to congress at
once, it was announced by Noah W. Cooper, chairman of the com
mittee, on leaving Nashville, Tenn., July 11th, for Washington.
Well, a girl was just arrested and jailed for the night in Eureka,
Calif., for whistling in definance of a policeman's order to discon
tinue, so the newspapers better look out, for they represent one of
the last great industries open for regulation.
FOR AND" AGAINST
The bonus bill has been recommended to the committee on
finance, thus dashing the hopes of the soldiers and their dependents
that they would be afforded relief some time during 1922. It has
been pointed out and not denied, that the interest from the money
loaned Europe would more than pay the soldiers their bonus; finan
cial experts do not accept as exact Secretary Mellon 's figures. They
state that not only would the interest on foreign debts pay the bonus
but leave a balance to be applied in the matter of tax reduction.
The vote of the United States senators from Nevada was as fol

When J. K. Paulding was secretary of the navy, back in the
cighteen-thirties, he wrote to the postmaster of a small village in the
south as follows: "Sir: This department wishes to know how far
the Tombigbee river runs up." The answer came back: "It runs
down." The postmaster general was informed of the affair, and
failed to see the humor of it. He wrote a letter to the postmaster
that said: "Sir: Your appointment as postmaster is hereby re
voked. You will turn over funds et cetera pertaining to your office
to your successor.
In no wise put out the postmaster once more took up his pen, and
the postmaster general received this: "The revenue for this office
for the quarter ending September 30th has been 65 cents; its expen
ditures, same period for candles and twine, 8o cents. Please instruc-t
my successor to adjust balance."

The Union Pacific system has made a marked success of its un
dertaking to make employes stockholders.
In every department the workers have responded, thousands
have bought stock, and are to that extent taking pot luck with man- C1SCQ'
agers.
The Union Pacific has tremendous property and traffic re
sources and its stock at the lowest ebb of the market pays its $10 a
share dividend.
v Is it not the highest wisdom to enable employes to aequire stock
on an easy partial payment plan?
Can a railroad be gutted and overthrown by high finance as tbe
Rio Grande was where every worker on tracks, train or in office is a
stockholder.
Does it not stand to reason that broadening its ownership to
hundreds of thousands of employes strengthens credit?
If every American railroad would interest its operations in stock
ownership, the financial problems of railroads would be ended.

REDUCING MINE ASSESSMENTS
Under depressed world markets many mining properties are al
most worthless and assessments are being reduced.
For instance, copper mines that in the past produced millions of
dollars worth of laetal are producing nothing.

commission on mining property held at Redding
