AN SYSTEM.

a 1MONG the bills filed with the county clerk this month is
~ one from the justice OF the peace for Hot Springs pre-
8MHl cinct for 500, for criminal cases held i'll the Hazen
court during some two weeks OF the month of April. On enc day
during this interim eleven cases were disposed of with lightning
rapidity netting this enterprising peace officer SOC. We Won
closed his DAYS business on this occasion with n CONSCIOUSNESS
of a duty we'll done, and if slumber followed the reaction that
comes from honest labor. 1t seems to have been n case of John
Doe. "a hoater" Smith, Brown and Thompson, same as Doe, y
time forming an added burden to the load already carried by the
taxpayer.
LAYING aside all criticism of the matter OF this particular bill,
the fact is becoming more apparent with time, that Hazen is a
thorn in the side of the honest Churchill county taxpayer who
rightly expects that our revenue shall be diverted into more
legitimate and fruitful channels, and this condition should not be.
Hazen is entitled to considerations, but the matter OF eXpend1n2
some $4,000 per year to maintain order in a community OF per
haps a hundred souls seems eXhorbtant and beyond all reason.
1t is a sum far in excess OF what is required to keep the laWless
element of the rest of the county in check.
Does the reader say II Il s the fault OF the Hazen peace OthcerSt
Not entirely. Their workings are under the state law, which
designates the fees, the bills for which must be allowed by the
County Board of Commissioners when properly verified. The
fault lies with the state statutes prescribing the Tee system,
which is universally n graft system.
The only method available OF curtailng This useless expense
which will probably contnue until it is restricted by law, Is To
invoke the aid OF n legislature and pass an act that Will allow OF a
more equitable adjudication OF the criminal questions that arise
in our neighboring town. They must be OF a most ponderous
nature, Judging from the bills resulting.

AN EXPENSIVE LUXURY.

lT1HE Churchill County telephone system presents a business
condition at the present time very much AKIN to
LENNI that presented by the proverbial white elephant, mas
much a the expenditures OF each month greatly exceed the
evenu and the deficit increases with the volume OF business
handled Now. this condition presents a business anolomy that
seems hard to understand, but the fact remains, however for the
cold figures continue to stare the taxpayers i'll the face, at whose
exnense the entire system is operated.
When the system wa first built, 1t was merely Il neighbor-
hood line, but with the development OF the county resources
the TELEPHONE line, has expanded, until at the present time it
covers every part of the county, entaihng an expense OF about
s24OO per annum for maintenance. The gross receipts will not
eoual one half of this amount. 1t is very apparent that the co
lucrative telephone scheme inaugurated several years ago, has
ontliyed it's usefulness and should be succeeded by Il plan that
will allow of the conduct of the line on a more equitable basis.
At the present time, the heavy taxpayers who MAINTAIN the line,
oct exactly the same service as the non-taxpayer who may use
the line as much or more than the hnancner. AS a matter OF con
venience to the farming neighborhood. the county line is an un
qualified success, but from a financial standpoint, it is a dismal
failure and the Standard believes that it speaks truly, when II
saws that the sentiment of the business men, are favorable
towards the sale of the line in its entirety to a company who
will guarantee better service at regular rates.
When we mention the matter OF present service, It Is not in a
critnssing manner. 1t could be greatly improved upon, but 1t is
neither the fault of the county board nor the operator that. such
an innovation is not enjoyed, but rather the fault OF the con
ditions presented, and partially stated in this article.

NEWS NOTES AND COMMENT
MUCH-NEEDED REFORMS
W. c. Black, Editor

I%N lHE grand jury recently convened IN Fallon found many con
ditions needing righting, over which they had no control,
EE9N and no resulting recommendations were made for this
reason. Several matters, however, were presented, that will allow
of agitation. Among these were the Indian question, in which the
Peon Mexican element enter largely; the violation of moral and
state laws by certain saloon keepers in Hazen, who maintain baw-
dy houses in theirplaces ofbusness in direct variance withthe state
law and all practices Of decency, and the question of reckless dnv-
ing of automobiles over the thoroughfares OF the county. These
matters are all of vital Importance to those who are affected.
In regard to the Mexican element which has congregated i'll this
section, working alternately on ditch work, little good can be
said. They comprise almost without exception, the most worth
less individuals under the sun, extremely aggressive when in con
tact with an inferior people, such as the Piute tribe, and
many are the abuses that have arisen from their mingllng with
this degenerate race. Squaws have been made drunk, loathsome
acts have been committed, and it has been beyond the power of
the peace officials to completely curtal these acts. In cases
brought to the attention OF the sherifs office prompt remedial
action has resulted, for which Sheriff Shirley and his efficient
deputy should be commended. But there are many loathsome
deeds committed by these Mexcans, away from any gaze save
that of the Piute.
The Hazen infringement is being looked into, and will be
righted, if the conditions bear out the truth of the accusation.
Woman oflewd character have no place on the streets OF any
town in this state save in the disguise of a lady.
The automobile question is one made more or less serious by
the drivers of machines, who may or may not respect the rights
ofother citizens. Unfortunately Nevada has no state law dealing
with or governing the driving of automobiles but a common law
of equity would demand that the rights of every citizen be re
spected. The few abuses of this right that have oc-
Cured on Churchill County thoroughtares will not become gen
era. for the drivers OF the machines now operating Ill the county
are for the most part, cool headed and gentlemanly men. To
abuse the rights of others can only result i'll financial loss to the
passenger automobiles, who INDUCES the practice, and for this
reason, if for no other, the practice will not become common.

rooms were misty with steam and lit by
