AMENDMET OF
BILL IN DOUBT
Not Probable that Legislature Can
Modify Nevada Police Bill
At Coming Session.

A peculiar legal question is be-
ing presented since the election as
regards the Police Bill which car
ried by big majority. The ques-
ton now arises whether the COM
ing session of the State Legislature
can amend the bill in any way
since the people have voted for its
adoption as it now stands.
There is difference of opinion
regarding this but from the best
authorities that will commit them
selves on the subject it is the gen.
eral opinion that the bill will re-
main in force as it now stands un-
til the people can again vote on
any proposed amendment that the
Legislature may desire TO make at
the coming session of that body.
Both parties have advocated the
the amending OF the bill in many
ways. This however appears to
be an impossibility since the
people have voted for its approval
as it now stands on the statute
book.
The law in this respect states
that after the people have APPROX
ed Of a legislative enactment by
the referendum vote no session of
the legislature can overrule, annul,
set aside, suspend, or in any way
make imperative the measures un-
less by an amendment to the pop
ular vote and adopted by the peo-
pie.
While it is admitted by soms
that minor changes may be made
in the bill without violating any of
the above mentioned provisions OF
the statute at the same time the
bill in the main must remain as
it now stands for the next two
years at least.
1t is probable that the Legislature
will make several amendments so
that the same can be submitted to
the people at the next general
election in 1910.
A general discussion is being
made on the subject all over the
state at the present time and it is
not improbable that the question
may even go to the supreme court
for a final verdict as To the correct
interception of the law. Appeal.

entertainment
WAS A SUCCESS

The entertainment given by the
ladies of the Methodist church last
Friday evening brought forth a
very good crowd. The entertain
ment was very creditable affair
and much credit is due those who
worked hard for its success. The
purpose of the entertainment was
to start fund with which to give
the church coat Of paint.
The two farces which were pre-
sentsd were we'll received and the
performers handled their parts
in excellent manner.
Mrs. H. +. Dangberg, Jr., sang
a solo and the charms of her sweet
soprano voice are too well known
TO the people of this community to
need praise from us. Miss Rada
Merrick, who has been receiving
voice culture at Chicago Con-
servatory of Music, was heard in
GardRerville for the first time.
She possesses marvellous, clear
contralto voice and her perfect con-
troll testifies to the voice training
she has thus far received. Miss
Margaret Brow also rendered
sol" and she sang in her usual
good form.
The recitation by Jaunita Frey
was cleverly rendered and the little
Miss displayed considerable a
bitity as an elocutionist. Her
piano . olo elicted favorable COM
ment and under the able tutorage
of Prof. Krall is showing remark
able ability for one her age.
