Before the county license bureau
closed business yesterday afternoon
237 licenses for gamblin~ games had
been taken out. There will be more
applications today, as the belated
gamblers drop into Reno with their
tents and stalls. clamoring for a
chance to do business. Under the
law the keeper of gambling resort
must pay a 500 initial license for the
year and a toll Of $75 a month for
each game, poker excepted, or rather,
ignored, on each craps table. wheel
or faro layout that he operates. Some
OF the biggest saloons in town have
as many as eight games going, and
their owners wish you may believe
that thev are not going to feel that
tax very heavily.
There was not a back room that
was not cleared of it's rubbish, painted
and furnished and crowded with the
layouts. Partitions were installed
and extensions built, vacant stores
were all snatched up and their floors
scrubbed for the business. There is
even a flourishing gambling place be-

Compulsory Vaccination.

Inasmuch as there is some feeling on
the part Of certain residents of the Dis.
trict that the compulsory vaccination law
in vogue here is unconstitutional, it Is
we'll that steps have been taken to test it
In court. The citizen who has made the
first move in this direction does so in a
spirit of full recognition of the fact that
the local authorities are compelled under
the statutes to adopt the course they pur-
sue in requiring certificates Of vaccina.
ton in the case Of all children admitted
to the public schools. The law recognizes
the practice Of vaccination, declaring it to
be a necessary precaution against the
spread of a once-dreaded disease, now
rendered far less terrifying through the
agency. 1t is commonly believed. Of Jen-
ner's discovery. Those who are opposed
to compulsory vaccination find their sound
est ground Of objection in the denial OF
public school privileges to all who do not
yield to q specified mode Of medical treat
ment. AS far as the individual is con-
cerned, it is exceedingly doubtful whether
the state has the right to insist upon Q
prescribed method of medication or sani-
tary~ precautiou. But 1t is fully estab-
iished that the state has the right to re-
ouire a certain precaution, In the case Of
epidemic diseases, and, in the interest Of
the public health. to limit the privileges and
activities Of the individual. This, for in
stance, guarantees are established against
certain diseases. which the courts have
always recognized and maintained. The
legal question in this case quickly re-
solves itself into Q scientific question,
Does vaccination prevent smallpox? Be-
bind this lies another question. Does vac
cination lead to other diseases than small
