this information was widely dis

Shoe PRICES TO GO HIGHER

A conferenc was held in. Chicag O
this week which may presage
higher price for shoes, particularly
of the cheaper grades. 1t was
between the conference committee
of the Tanners National AS.
ISOLATION and If the shoemakers'
organization.
Recently the tanners announced
that the sale terms which had
existed for many years which had
existed for many years. whereby
shoc.nakers got 5 per cent off on
fodr months payment. would be
discontinued, and discount Of 2
per cent for the same period. The
shoea akers, claiming this would
cut their profits nearly half on the
premises that the profit on q cheap
pair Of shoes was only 6 to 8 cents
a pair. sought conference to
reestablish the old rate, but the
leather makers refused .
Notice were sent out to shoe
makers to refuse to buy leather
from those who would not
sell at the old rate. Curtailment of
output will be the first weapon
used to force the old rate, said an
official of the conference. After
that, if it fails, an application for
federal action will be sought, it
was said, under the Sherman anti
trust act The last and most
formidable weapon the hoemaker
claim to have is that of tariff free
leather.

THE ANn-GAMBLING LAW
AND PROPOSED CHANGES

There seems to be an attempt to
l'evamp the present gambling hill
so that it makes it possible to carry
on some sort of gambling. The
law that was passed two years ago
cam be doctored up so as rot to
destroy the effect, such as amend
ing TO allow friendly and pas'ime
games between people congrega,ed
for pleasure. Such a provision is
asked for by Governor Oddie.
Last week an example of gamb-
ling lshown in California where
the entire police force of San
Francisco was shown to be playing
into the hands of the gamblers
and(making a traffic out of the
business. The whole affair finally
resulted in the killing of a patron
of the games by game keeper 1t
was certainly a sorry mess.
At the present time there is a bill
pending reducing the penalty OF
gambling, making it a mlsdemeanor
instead of a crime punishable by
prison punishment, it also aims to
reduce the fines imposed. 1t is
the fact that Nevada's law provides
heavy punishment that makes it a
law worth the name of law. Keep
it there.
Nevada had her dose of open
gambling. 1t needs no more O f
that class of goods 1t is absolutely
impossible to prevent some men
from gambling If they choose to
win and lose their money between
themselves that is their business.
but make open gambling possible
would be barking back and that is
not what the people of this state
are looking for. Nevada has
managed to get along very nicely
for more than a year without
the licensed gambling laid out in
temptation before the youth and
feeble minded The merchant has
had more money in his till and the
wife has had more pleasure from
the money earned by her husband
The good effect of the law is just
being realized.
If the present legislature is to
handle this question il should be
done with intent of better ing the
condition of the people at large and
not to the benefit of the few who
would run the games.
Nevada at the present time has
the best all round gambling law of
any of the state in the west. 1t is
being enforced and the people have
suffered no inconvenience. If the
matter il to be amended make it
along the lines of good sense and
judgement and keep the high
standard above all else. Nvadas
gambling law is alright for her
people if not for the gambler. -

investigate before passing the bill
to place the justice of the pes of

We also stated that we were under

not cost the county last year that
sum per month.
We have investigated the matter
and find that Justice Ruth ledge
drew the following sums per month
Daily independent. [volume] (Elko, Nev.) 188?-1915, 1911-02-10

Under the proposed salary of
$75 per month the Carlin justice
will cost the county 5000 year,
an increase of $373.50 over the
cost last yea. We again suggest
that our delegation in the leg
islature investigate before passing
the salary bill.
