PUBLICITY HAS GASOLINE oDOa

The purchase of a $500 auto
mobile for the use of the publicity
comission is causing a good deal
of comment in the state papers.
The Reno Journal criticises the
deal while the Gazette. CarsonNews
and Appeal agree that an auto
mobile is necessary for the proper
transaction of the commissions
business. The writer knows so
little concerning the work of the
commission that he is not in posi-
ton to c%ritiicise or approve the
purchase of the machine.
The Mason Valley News which
supported the republican state
ticket last fall expresses its
opinion of the purchase in a way
that is apt TO make people wonder
what benefit the high salaried COM
m~iissioners can be to the state with
an appropriation of S25, 600 for
two years, If the News is correc.
the state will reap hat little
benefit after the salaries and
automobile expenses are pad.
Following is its comment:
Look at il this way once:
The appropriation of the publicly
commission for two years. is but
S25. 900. No further can it go.

two years. $1,000.
Assistant two years, $4,000.

ing an automobile two years, &c.,

Leaving $4,000 for all other
expenditures.
That doesn't look good to any.
one.
With but $4,000 for two years
publicity, it is a question if there
is really a prospect for anything
better than the old rrlic, Sam
Davis was able to report after his
term of ofic &c expired.
If this is a fair saT pie of how the
administration measures are to
work out, our people may yet
rejoice that The last legislature
was hardly anything mrcc than Il
stumbling block for the admin
straiion.
In the campaign promises
we certainly had more to expect. #,
Well. if it can do nothing more
the publicity commission can run
about the state and tell ouc people
what a republic n administration
is doing for Nevada.
One thing sure. we have seen
enough to know that the boosted
publicity commission is going to
need all the publicity we can give
t. That and a. strong odor OF
gasoline will serve to let the people
know it is in existence.
For how are we to know il on

With the Senate under agreement to
vote on the wool bill tomorrow and with
the Senate Democrats to hold another
conference tonight. following the fruit
less one Of last evening, there is the
keenest interest under the surface in
Senate and House circles as to what
tariff course the Senate isi going 70 take,
For the past week there has been a
chaotic and tangled situation in the
Senate which has been generally ac-
cepted as meaning no further tariff leg
Islation.
Shift Comes Today.
But today, there has been a shift In
things to a considerable extent. 1t
looks much more hopeful than at any
time hitherto since the reciprocity bill
passed for the enactment Of further
tariff legislation. Strong indications
are given that enough insurgents are
going to line up with the Democrats for
the House wool bill to put 1t through.
Until now. the leaders about the Sem
ate have been saying 1t would be the
La Toilette bill or nothing, and they
thought 1t certain that enough Demo-
Gratis would refuse to support the La
Toilette bill to insure its defeat.
But now, reports have been convey
ed to Senator Penrose through other
Senators who have been feeling out
Senate sentiment that not less than
half a dozen insurgent Republicans
will line up for the House wool bill
II they find they cannot get anything
else. This puts a radically different
phase on the situation.
1t is expected the House wool bill
will be defeated tomorrow by the
combined votes of the regular and
nsurgent Republicans. But the real
test will come August /, when the
