you favor a square deal" encourage
us to ask space in your valuable paper Il
speak Of the High School. Since read.
ing the article i'll last weeks issue we
have interviewed many of our prominent
citizens in addition 70 those whose sigma
lures are attached and conclude that
sud article does not express our thonglit.
We think your correspon ent was labor
ing under great exciten elt aud did not
fully weigh his words. A quiekeued in
terest in educational matters suggested
high school for Lyon county and the
majority approved this thought. The
central location OF Nerington and the
steady increase OF her population pointed
to this natural location. and We assumed
that our Commissioners would see il in
the same light They did not, and al
ice rumors were afloat that undue n
nuence had been used by reigh ors
We prefer to think that Yefington was
not as fully and f0rcbly represented as
il should have been. We asked that q e
ajority OF the voters decide Hi, mat
t r, and in consequence there was work
done by each party and some feeling re-
suited. The hiasou towusite pc, pie did
excellent work, showing lhemseltts s.
sessed of no small ability. but the vote 5
decided as We thought they would.
And we are not surprised that persons
outside of Mason Valley favored them.
They have a beautiful site, they have
done wonders during the short time they
have been operating, and they promise
to continue doing. We wish them sue
cess, as the county will profit by such
Enterprise, and we OF Yeungton will be
ir soked togood works. Increase OF pop
ulation is the need of every county in Ne
vada and we would encourage all coming
10 The State, and particularly tho Sc look
ing toward Mason Valley. We have
unbo nded faith in n ason Valley in re-
lation to both agriculture and mines.
We regret the last development in the
high school situation. as the majority
having spoken that should end the mat
ter, though there may have been some
inform llity in the conducting OF the
election. Nothing was done that would
Chan e the location, hence the will Of
Tie pooll lie Las been expressed. Natur
ally we rejoice that the will OF the peo-
p IS that the school should be located
IN Yerington, and we shall do all in oar
lover to convince the people that no
mistake was made in the location.
We think false impression has gone
forth III relation TO the expense of the
bailding and the maintenance OF the
school. Ten thousand dollars will pro-
vide all necessary buildings for the pres
eht aud the support will be so small a
part OF our school funds as viii net be

by those who will reap the benefit Of i,

PLAYING WITH THE SAVINGS
BANK BUZZ-SAW.

OF daily newspapers in the United
States this 18th day of February,
1909. there are pap. according to the
Census Bureau. If one of the PAP has
declared against postal savings banks
The Washington Times has not heard
of it. Yet there IS a prospect--or per
haps it is only a possibility one
United States Senator and the organi-
zation of the United States House of
Representatives may still further deny
the people Of this nation a privilege
extended to the citizens of evrey other
progressive nation on the globe.
The Senator in question spoke yes
terday. He was opposed, ne said, to
any scheme whereby this nation would
borrow from one man In order that it
may loan" it to another selected per
son. OF course that objection is easily
answered. The Government is not Dor
rowing anybody's money at all if IT
establishes a system of savings banks.
It is serving the thrifty saver of small
sums by providing him with absolute
security for his account. Then arises
the question:
What shall be done with the millions
which such security would cali from
their hiding places2
Would this Senator have them lie
idleg Surely he would agree that no
phrase Of borrowing from one man to
lend to another" would be a sufficient
defense against such mismanagement as
would accumulate and hold millions Of
currency in the nations Treasury when
already the whole commerce of the
nation wrscks and creaks for lack OF a
properly regulated exchange?
But answering this Senator is not so
much the point. The more important
matter is this:
Can one member Of one house and
the organization Of the other deny the
people this convenience
And the answer to that is:
That if it shall so develop at this
session there viii be 2 demonstration
of hostility to those responsible Tor the
program which will be reflected in
every one OF Americas ZAP daily
newspapers.

TRYING LEGISLATION FIRST
IN FAR AWAY STATES

IF ever the United States becomes
really a centralized government, run
from Washington, there viii be elimi-
mated one of the best schools for trying
ont newfaugled ideas in legislation
that any country ever had. II has
been said bv commentators on the Con
stitution that one reason why It Is so
splendid q piece Of ststesmancraft is
that the fathers had to take mighty
little Of it on faith; that they copied
very largely from the systems of gov
eminent in vogue in the provinces and
in Great Britain. AS it is now, we
have forty-six States, each a law unto
itself. SO far as internal affairs go, so
that it can try almost anything that
does not cOntravene the Constitution of
the United States.
As "a demonstration of the value of
the system in practice, Oklahoma is
now trying the scheme of guarantee
ing bank deposits. A number of de
fects have been found in its scheme,
but on the whole it seems 10 be 50
satisfactory that Kansas and Nebraska
are both considering adopting the plan.
This Is but one example Of experimental
legislation iu which the whole country

fence of one or more States.

which some States are putting into
practice and IN which all the States are

on account of the good 1t may promote
among those who are in need of a little
encouragement TO take exercise. Very
little exercise is taken eagerly, like a
good mixed drinz-say, soda water and
lemon juice-or like a flyer proffered by
a long-lost debtor. The most enthus-
iastic military officer ever seen IN this
vicinity was a colonel who was pas
sionately addicted to the portable tub

quired during a visit to England He
rode like a centaEr and he always look

A GREAT AWAKENING DUE

Representative Fitzgerald OF New
York leads us to think the Democratic

Congressional minority still has men
TAI strabismus. At any rate, his mo-
tion of yesterday TO inquire into the
resolutions introduced by the insurgents
gainst the House rules and his APP
pointment as chairman of the commit
tee to do the investigating would iadi-
cate that the minority is wild de gang
and not the rebels.
Vow the Democratic party i- nothing
If it is not the party of individual OPP
portunity. Sometimes it would seem
10 be the nothing rather than the other
thing. But theoretically it stands for
freedom of personal action, and 10 has
stood for 1t so practically up at the
Capitol that It has never been able 20
handle a majority in Congress SO as to

SENATOR KNOWS INELIGIBIL-
TTY TO THE CABINET.

Literally everybody TO whom a ques-
ton was addressed about the discovery
of Senator Knox's ineligibility to be q
member of the Cabinet prefaced his
answer by rather fooHshly observing
that he didn't know how he could have
neglected TO recall that provision" But
nobody did recall it until, it seems, a
newspaper editorial writer up in Buff
falo stumbled upon it by accident, and
happened 70 couple with the eonstitu-
tional provision q recollection that the
salary of Secretary of State had been
increased since Mr.. Knox has been IN
Congress.
The Constitution is perfectly plain,
and means Just what it says. Mr..
Knox is today ineligible for the Cabi-
net, because the salary of the Cabinet
members has been raised while ne has
been IN Congress 1t seems a rather
foolish provision: but it illustrates how
much our morals have improved since
the time of Constitution making. Poht-
zeal morals were so bad in that time
that such provision was esteemed
necessary 10 prevent possibility of
graft.
While Senator Knox is today in
eligible. there is believed to be no dit
iculty removing the disability, and the
Senatorial friends of the incoming pre-
mier are arranging TO remove it by a
change in the salary increase act, I'M
der which the Secretaryship OF State
shall be restored to it's former salary.
This act viii remain in force tin after
AIR. Knox shall have resigned ana been
sworn in at the reduced salary, when
it win be repealed and the larger sal
AIRY restored. Thus, with everybody
aequiescent and regarding it as rather
a good Joke, viii Congress take more
trouble to circumyent this archaic pro
vision of the Constitution than half
lhe contemporaries of Washington and
Hamilton would have had to take TO
steal the Treasury blind.
The Constitution looks a bit ridicu-
lous when an incident of this sort sheds
light on the changes OF condition that
have taken place since it was adopted.
But the same gentlemen who now read
ily find a way to evade it are the ones
who on other occasions declaim about
the wisdom of the fathers-who never
saw steam engine, a railroad, a tele-
graph, a telephone, or heard of inter
state commerce-and hold it forth as
the Justification of progressive ossifica-
tion in I'll our ideas about treatment Of
the great economic problems of the
times. 1t is at least amusing.
