Carson City, Feb. IL. Assem-
blyman Bergman of Lincoln
county has introduced A. B. No.
70 to amend the present law rel
alive to the publication Of annual
statements Of mining companies.
The law now on the statute books
provides for the publication Of
these statements in some daily
newspaper. to the exclusion of
the weekly publications through
out the state. Publishers of the
latter in every county in Nevada
have urged their representatives
in the legislature to exercise
their influence towards the
changing of the present law.
The daily paper men, however,
are going to put up a fight, and
insist that they are going to de-
feat the Bergman bill.
The report Of w. L. Cox, SUI
perintendent Of the state police,
has been issued from the Office
of the state printer. and it con-
tains many recommendations to
increase the efficiency of the
force. Nine members only are
now under orders, three vacan-
cies in the force of twelve not
having been filed.
Captain Cox recommends that
the men be mounted to avoid
having to depend on stiff legged
crowbaits when time Of action is
at hand. He would have the pay
scale raised to give privates $120
a month and sergeants $3.50, out
Of which the men would furnish
and maintain their own horses.
One of the most important ad-
vances in the Office is the intro
duction Of the Bertillon and
finger prints methods of identi-
fication.
The anti-Japanese agitation
and the anti-gambling bill have
been two Of the leading features
this week. The Japanese ques-
ton has stirred President Roose-
welt into action, as it did in Cali
fornia, and both the Nevada SEN
ators at Washington have kept
the wires hot urging that nc
radical action be taken on the
proposition at this time. Senator
Newlands takes the view that
there should be broad nationa
legislation covering the whole
Japanese question. In his state
ment Senator Newlands says:
"The legislation proposed b,
the Pacific coast states intended
to meet certain phases of wha
constitutes national peril, ha'
been opposed by the president a
involving violation Of our treat!
with Japan and imperiling he
friendship,
THAT the race question is nov
the most important question con
fronting the nation; that alread.
we have drifted regarding tn
black race into a condition whicl
seriously suggests the withdraw

Inauguration Of a human nations
policy which, with the co-opoers
ton and aid of the souther
states should recognize that th
blacks are a race of children n
quiring guidance, industri,

self-control and other measure
intended to reduce the danger {
the race complication formerl
