Mr.. Eltweed Pomery, in the current
issue OF the Green Bag, has an amusing
article on "rhe Follies OF Legislation"
1t is an entertaining collection OF queer
laws passed by different state legisls-
lures. In Texas, for instance, the lower
house passed bill providing that every
unmarried man over thirty who had not
"exerted due diligence" in the effort to
find mate should pay tax OF t1fty dol
lars annually. On the other hand the
Missouri legislature OF 1897 undertook
to pass a law timing widows and maidens
not less than one hundred nor more than
five hundred dollars for rejecting suit
or. New Jersey has passed law tax
ing bachelors, though it Is probably not
enforced A newly elected Tammany
legislator at Albany was told that he
ought to have law named after him.
so he secured the passage OF a bill
through his branch making it penal
otfense to put less than thirteen oysters
in an oyster stew. These are merely
few samples. II any Of these bills (espec-
tally the one for taxing bachelorsl -ad
originated in the states where equal
suffrage prevails, would it not have been
quoted far and wide as an example OF
freak legislation" that might naturally
be expected from women?
Miss Matte Piunkett has been nomi-
mated for state librarian by the joint
caucus of the Mississippi legislature.
Under the cd constitution. the work IT
librarian Was done by woman, but the
office was nominally held by a man, who
ran for it in her interest, and was elect
ed as her representative, with full VI
derstanding of this fact on the part OF
the legislature. The new constitution
allows woman to hold it in her own
name. Miss Tucker who had been act
ing librarian for two years when the
present constitution was adopted. was
then elected for a four-years term 10
her OWE name. She was succeeded Dy
Mrs. Bell. who served four years, and
has been succeeded by Miss Piunkett.
The New Orleans P.cayune says: 1T
seems that the legislature has come to
regard this one office that a woman is
allowed to hold as a medal to be dis
trihuted at short intervals among the
deserving daughters OF the common
wealth" All the women are said 10
have made good librarians. 1t will be
remembered that Mrs. Bell stayed at
her post during the recent yellow fever
epidemic in jackson, when all the other

IT WON'T do for anybody to
brush up against the immaculate
editor of the Elko independent any
more. He has become deciple of
Ollverism to such an extent that
he eschews tobacco, looks not up
on the red booze, passes pretty
woman with his eyes upon the
ground, INDUCES not in the game
wherein the Jack Pot is supreme,
and when mention is made of a
lottery in Nevada, holds up his
hands in holy horror and declares
that if the arid wastes of Nevada
never have water there should be
no lottery. Elder Booher also sees
in the lottery scheme the for
nation of company which will
control the State politically. Well,
the State has been controlled for
the past twenty years by corpo-
ration, and little competition
to it might do no harm. How
ever, fears of such a thing are
groundless. We rejoice at Elder
Booher's salvation, but hope he
will not take a step backward
when the interests of the State
are at stake.

him who would not vote for any
other candidate. The enemies of
popular government who deserted
the Democratic party in 1896, and
assisted in the election of Nc
Kinley who still choose to call
themselves Democrats recognize
the great hold that Mr. Bryan has
upon the American heart and pro-
fess to have abandoned all OPP
position to him. Many of these
are now protesting that he is the
greatest of all Americans, and
would have their neighbors believe
that they have lately learned to
love him and admire him. By
such means as this many of them
hope to win their way into the
affections of the people in order
that they may be sent to the
national convention to betray him
and the people in the service of
the money kings. To all such, if
they are honest, it will be sufficient
that men who are known to be
stalwart supporters of the prln-
ciples that Mr.. Bryan stands for
be sent to the conventions, and
that they have an opportunity to
work for the success of the ticket.
If they are willing to do this all
is we'll, but do not be beguiled by
promises or professions made by
this class into sending any of them
to represent you in the con-
ventions.

TREE planting for an unusual
purpose has been recommended to
residents of the western irrigation
districts by w. L. Hall, Assistant
Superintendent of Tree Planting
of the Division of Forestry, who
has recently been in New Mexico
on an investigation. Agriculture
in that region depends largely on
irrigation, and the streams and res
ervoirs are much depleted by evap-
Grafton due to the heat and dry
winds. Mr.. Hall recommends that
belts of trees be planted along
every ditch and reservoir, not only
to shade them, but to shelter them
from wind. The problem of pre-
venting evaporation is very inn
portant, not only on account of the
loss of water, but because the per
centage of alkali in the quantity
remaining becomes excessive.

IN the INTEREST OF ECONOMY.

apparently, been a desire on the
part of State and County officials
to curtail expenses and reduce the
high rate of taxation which ex-
lists in the State. The State rate
of taxation is higher than in any
other State in the Union, and in
nearly every county in the State
the people are struggling along
under tax burden which is hard
to bear. The TIMES has for years
past advocated the holding of
Constitutional Convention, where
in changes could at once be made
which would relieve the people
from the high pressure govern
ment under which they now exist.
Not only can much money be
saved in reducing the expenses of
running the State government, but
in each County there is room for
further curtailment of expenses.
Some years ago the Legislature
consolidated several of the Offices
in this county, as we'll as in other
counties, and we seem to move
along just as smoothely as before
the consolidation took effect, and
at much less expense. Now the
question arises, is there not a way
to further lop off the expense in
the different counties? Not being
aware of how much business
Board of County Commissioners
has to transact in other counties,
we will simply conhne our argu-
ment on economy to the saving
of the peoples money in Lyon
County. In this county the Board
of Commissioners meets every
month. The business transacted
by the Board is finished, generally,
in from one to four hours, and con-
sists chiefly in allowing salary and
road bills, and a few other minor
matters, too trifiing 10 mention.
For the transaction of this bust
ness the people are paying over
$1,000 per year in salaries and
mileage. There is no work done
by the Board of County Commits
sioners that could not be equally
as we'll done if the Treasurer, Re-
corder and District Attorney con-
stituted the Board, just the same
, as the State Boards for different
institutions are constituted of the
State officials. The duties of the
three officers named are not so
arduous at any time that they
could not attend to the duties i'm
posed upon them as Commission
ers. 1t would hardly be fair, how
ever, to impose the road work up
on Board composed of the Treas
urer, Auditor and District Attor-
ney without extra remuneration.
Each Commissioner now draws the
sum of $Ioo per year for road
work. By giving each member of
a Board of Commissioners consti-
tuted as above suggested an in
crease in salary of $500 per year,
the county would be saving some
thing over $1,000 per year. This
would be a material saving; not
one of the short bit kind that many
Commissioners seem to think is
SO popular nowadays.
This article is written for the
purpose of getting down to strict
ly economic propositions, and our
columns are open to any person
who desires to discuss the matter,
pro or con.

No man can love in the highest way any

supposedly the highest form of love.
Mans ideal woman is a paradox. The
man who wooes her finds he has won a
dozen. Yes, a dozen women in one. To
put it vulgarly, she keeps him guessing.
If he is sure of her, absolutely and I'M
doubtedly, he will become Indifferent. BY
this I do not mean that he should doubt
her virtue. By all his hopes of happiness
and hers-no. But she must have her
vagaries. She is tender one moment, cold
the next. She has in her the capacity for
every emotion, though she may reveal
them only under the stress Of opportuni-
ty. She is grave or gay. She is capable
of divining the moods of a man whom
she may make her slave She plays upon
them discretely. She has reserve forces.
She has also a reserve of the power to

when to give in.

Edgar Saltus, the famous author of
1.-THE Pace That Kills. says: Consider
the rose and its wisdom. 1t charms and
is silent. A woman possessing these ac-
complishments represents feminine, per-
lection. 1t has not been our luck to en-
counter her. Had we done so we should
probably hate her for having no faults
Faults are much more endearing than
virtues. But that is a detail. The point
is that to every man the most attractive
woman in the world is always the woman
he has yet to meet. There is a reason
for all things. There is one for this.
There are even two. The most attractive
woman in the world represents the ideal
the ideal represents happiness, and hap
piness is a myth invented by Satan for
our despair.
Moreover, man at his hest, Snd even
at his worst, may or may not possess any
very clear conception of the kind of wO-
man he wouldn't like, but he is quite GER
tain about the characteristics of the wo-
man who could bewitch him. These
characteristics vary in accordance with
his temperament, environment, educa-
ton and instincts. 1t is just as well they
they are every one of them different.
Were one particular variety Of them uni
versally pursued the demand, exceeding
the supply, would condemn all the other
specimens to spinsterdom.
That proposition admitted, it follows
that, no particular type being generally
sought there is nothing to guide and by
the same token nothing to interfere with
individual tastes. Mrs. Wilcox. for in
stance, has views on this subject which
are distinctly original But though they
commend our admiral ton they do not
possess our approval
Mrs Wilcox says that the ideal woman
should be a saint, a sinner and a para
dox. That is not our conception. To our
thinking the ideal woman is incapable of
SHINING. and that for the very excellent
reasonthat she would not not consider
sinful anything which she wished TO do
In the visions of her which our magma
ton intercepts she has everything which
an artificial world can give except arti-
hciality. and saintliness Is always that
Then, too. she is not paradoxical. A lady
with a paradox IS usually a bore. The
conversation of our lady could mo more
weary than can star her laugh is in
frequent. her voice consoles. She has
turned sympathy into garment and TAX
en- refinement for a wreath. She is just
yet debonair, thoughtful of others, true

tative. Aware that beauty aIlures. she
