PROPOSED AMENDMENTS TO
STATE CONSTITUTION

A bill originating in the Senate
carrying with it six amendments to
the constitution of Tennessee. is
pending in the General Assembly.
By a provision of the constitution
amendments can not be submitted
oftener than every six years. The
question of submission must also
be passed upon favorably by two
successive General Assemblies.
Publication of the passage of the
proposition to submit to the people
by one General Assembly must be
made six months before the next
General Assembly meets to finally
decide the advisability of submits
sion.
Six amendents were proposed by
the last General Assembly, and if
the present body consents in this
action date will be fixed at the
time of concurrence for the people
to vote on the amendments.
In order to become a part of the
constitution the amendment must
receive a majority of all the citi-
zens voting for Representatives in
the November election, the amend
ments being included on the ballot
to be cast at the election referred
to.
The following are the six amend
ments to be voted on by the pres
ent General Assembly as to wheth-
er or not they will be submitted
the supposition being that the
amendments will be submitted:
To make the Governors term
four years, and not to be eligible
more than four years in term of
eight.
To make the terms of Sheriffs
and County Trustees four instead
of two years.
To merge the August and No
vember elections, making the judg-
ca elected at the same time as the
Governor.
To elect by popular vote the Sec
rotary of State, State Treasurer,
Comptroller and Comptroller and
Attorner.G General and reporter, and
to extend the terms of the Treasur-
or and Comptroller to four years.
The first two are now chosen by the
General Assembly, and the third
by the Supreme Court.

EXPLANATION OF BOND
QUESTION.
o the Citizens of Camden:

~ the SitiatjIS VI SdulOcI.
Several parties have spoken to
me in regard to the bond issue for
the erection of school building
and especially as to whether the
town could ever pay off the bonds
aud get out of debt, therefore, in
order that the voters may under
stand the matter, submit a state
ment showing the results if the
bonds should be voted,
The act enabling the town to is
sue bonds provides for the issuance
of bonds in the sum of $4,000:
hese bonds to be issued in denOm-
nations of not less than 500 nor
more than $500, to bear not ex-
ceeding 5 per cent interest, paya-
bic semi-annually or annually, as
the board may direct, and not TO be
sold for less than par or face value.
The interest, in my judgment,
should be paid annually, for the
reason that our taxes are paid an
nually.
The act provides that the Board
of Mayor and Aldermen shall, by
ordinance, levy taxes not to exceed
in any one year more than 80 cents
on the 500 worth of property, and
from this tax pay the interest and
retire the bonds.
Our present tax rate is $l.OO on
the 500 assessed valuation of
property-the assessed valuation
being made by the State and coun-
ty, the town having nothing to do
with which, at the present
assessed valuation, produces ap-
proximately $4,000; hence it will
be seen that if the valuation re-
mains the same as now, tax levy
of SO cents on the 500 would pro-
duce 81 100 per annum with which
to pay interest and retire the bonds.
But to be certain that we do not
fix our figures too high, we will say
that levy of so cents on the 500
would produce $1,000 per annum
instead of 81 100, and see if we can
ever pay the bonds, if issued, and
if so, when?
The interest on $4,000 at 5 per
cent per annum-the highest rate
they can bear-for the first year
would be $500; this, when paid,
would leave $500 with which bonds
to the amount of $500 would be re-
tired, thus leaving unpaid bonds
amounting to $1,000 at the end of
the first year.
Second year-interest on $1,000
would be $475; this, when paid,
would leave $525 with which to re-
tire $500 of bonds, leaving unpaid
$4,000 of bonds and $25 in cash.
Bringing it down to the four
teenth year, the amount of bonds
would be ST., 200 and interest $50,
which, when paid, would leave
S940, to which add SIS from the
preceding year makes 1866, retire
5000 bonds, leaving $500 unpaid
and $55 cash.
Hence, it will be seen that the
bonds, making all proper allow
ance, can be paid in approximately
fourteen years, with tax valves re-
naming as they are. But with a
modern, up-to-date school build.
ing will not the unimproved prop
erty of our town be SO improved
within the next five years as to en-.
able us to realize largely more
than 81 900 per annum?
Respectfully,

BURNED TO DEATH.
Old Miner is Found in Ashes
of Old Tent House Dead.

August Jubert, a Frenchman of mid
die age who has lived i'll this valley for
many years, and who has made his liv-
ing at different kinds of labor, met his
end i'll tragic manner on the night of
February rs. He had been working for
Mr.. Gumbel, mining, and had been sent
to Polls for supplies: 1t became so
stormy that he could not return that
night, SO he obtained jug of liquor and
repaired TO tent house about $50 yards
above Jas. Matthews house up the East
Walker where he was going to stay un-
til the storm was over. Jim Wright
found it locked and Jaubert would not
let linn i'll. The next morning the
Lewis Bros, Joe Matthews and Jim
Wright found the tent burned and the
remains of the Frenchmap near the door.
1t is supposed he had been trying to
light cigarette while he was in bed,
and dropped spark in the bed which
smoldered long enough to allow him to
go to sleep. 1t is presumed the fire
gained such headway that he was nearly
suffocated by the smoke when he awoke
and was unable to help himself. He
had managed to drag himself to the
door but fell back exhausted into the
flames. Considering how little there
was to burn in the tent house he was
frightfully burned, both legs and one
arm being burned completely off.
He leaves a sister, Mrs. Nicholas, at
Hawthorne, and his body was sent to
that place

ANOTHER NEW ROAD MONO HORROR

With a furious bombardment of death
dealing snowslides carrying everything
i'll their path, tons of snow commingled
with rock crashed last Tuesday night for
two hours through the towns of Jordan,
Lundy and Mono Lake in Mono County,
California, leaving in their wake of des-
truction the dead bodies of eight or ten
men and women and the ruins of the
Hydro Electric Power Company and the
Crystal Lake Mining Company power
plant.
For the two hours, from 10 O'Clock p
m. until midnight, when the lombard
ment was on, it seemed to the terrified
inhabitants, routed from their beds by
the ominous roaring and crashing, that
lofty Mt Warren, joining forces yith
the elements, the wind and the SNOW,
had in fact made war on mankind which
was harnessing the power of his streams.

News of Jack Welsh.

Jack Welsh, the superintendent of the
Mason Valley mine, who went to San
Francisco nearly three weeks ago to con-
suit an occulist, was informed two days
after his arrival that it would be neces-
sary to have the eye removed. The OPP
Grafton was performed by DIR. Pischel at
the Lane hospital, and Jack is now
wearing a glass eye. The remaining
eye, wdich was also getting affected by
the in flammation in the one that was re-
moved, is becoming strong again and
Jack will soon be able to see as well
as he has for several years. He is
figuring on going to Los Angeles for a
short trip before returning to his duties
at the mine.

NEVADA>DOUCLAS MINE.
Bright Prospects Ahead For
Mason Valley.

The last issue of the Mining World
has the following to say regarding the
mines of the Yersngton district: The
work in connection with the construc-
ton of the Mason valley smelter is pro-
crossing in such satisfactory manner
that it is believed that the plant will be
in operation by September ! at the lat
est
This will mean the beginning of the
productive era for both the Mason Val
lev and the Nevada Douglas properties.
The Nevada Copper Belt railroad, which
is backed and being constructed under
the direction OF the management of the
Nevada Douglas Mining company, is
now finished to Smith station, giving it
thirty-three miles of completed railway.
Another seven or eight miles will carry
il up to the mine and graders are now
at work on this, the last lap of the rail-
way. 1t will be completed in about
ninety days. The Nevada Douglas is
under contract to deliver the Mason val
lev smelter 1000 tons of ore day, and the
property has the ore development to
do this without any great exertion.
Anew electric hoist has been ordered
by the Nevada Douglas, capable of hand
ling 1000 tons per day, also water pipe
air pipe and all other necessary equip
ment, and all will be in readiness for the
completion of the railway. Three load
ing stations, equipped with necessary
ore bins, are in course of construction,
one for the Douglas hill section of the
property, one for the Basin section and
one for the Ludwig deposits. In the
three sections there is large tonnage of
available ore ready for extraction. The
copper contents of this ore varies from
to 10 per cent. The average of the ore
will be close to per cent.

SMITH VALLEY.

March s, 1911.
The unusual precipitation this winter
will be of great benefit to the new set
tiers of the Valley, many of whom have
not yet developed a water supply and
will depend mostly on dry farming for
this year. A large area of new land has
been cleared and will be sown to wheat
and oats to be cut for hay. NJ. K.

acres of wheat.
The beneficial effects of the Copper
Belt road are already being experienced
in the Valley and the present terminus,
Hudson, is busy place. A large
amount of farming machinery, lumber,
etc. is being received, thus saving the
long haul to Gardnerville, and a great
deal of this freight is being bought from

a DYING KICK

CARSON, March 7 AS the culmina-
ton of years of strife md rivalry the
citizens of Dayton, Lyon county, have
enjoined the county commissioners from
removing the Lyon county court house
or the archives of the county from Day
ton, the original county seat, to Yering
ton, which, by act of II e present legis-
lature has been made the county seat
for the future from May /, 1911. The
action was taken on Monday as the full
fllment of many threats of litigation
the complaint and temporary order be-
ing made by NJ. Quillici, a business man
of Dayton. On reading the complaint
District Judge Frank p Langan of the
First district issued the restraining or
der, requiring "a bond in the sum of
$1,000.
Notice of the suit came to Reno yes
terday when Husky & Springer who
have long acted as advisers for the peo
pie of Yerington, received the copy of
the papers in the case and prepared an
answer which will be heard next Mon
day.
The complaint states that DAYTON was
made the county seat of Lyon county in
1864 and that the county commissioners
propose to move the records under the
law of tl.is legislature, which is said to
be unconstitutional.

cording to the complaint, consists i the
fact that it is opposed to sections 20. Il
and rs of article of the state constitu
ton. This provision provides that spe-
cial legislation shall not be passed and
hat because a general law is +, exist
ence providing for the removal of coun-
ty seats by petition, that method gov

The answer prepared takes Issue on
the constitutional point and in this con.
nection it is disclosed Il 1T this point
was once before passed upon by the SUI
preme court of Neva "a.
In 1871 by practically the same method
it was sought to prevent the removal of
the county seat from Washoe City to
Reno. The case was that of Lewis Hess
against Charles W. Pegg, sheriff, and
was begun in the district court. The
court below decided against removal but
on appeal was reversed and the removal
authorized. The case is in Nevada
Reports %.
Huskey < Springer who are associat
ed with the district attorney of Lyon
county i'll the case, aim that the de-
cision in the Washoe county case has adj
judicated the present matter, especially
as the original act passed by the present
legislature was fashioned after the model
used i'll removing the Washoe county
seat.
