Health Poor, He Says.

Secretary Ballinger rendered his re
sionation in a letter Of Jan. 49, basins
it entirely upon the condition OF MS
health. The president replied at once
expressing his confidence IN Secretary
Ballinger and his reluctance to ac-
cent his resignation, and requested
the secretary to remain in office un-
til the close of the session OF CON
gress.
Immediately upon the adjournment
of congress Secretary Ballinser re-
uewed his request that he he relieved
AT n date suiting the presidents con

President TAFT in a letter formally ac-
ceped the resignation.
The correspondence between The
president and the secretary is not vo-
luminous. but displays beyond ques-

has reposed In MT. Ballinger through
out the long siege and the indignation
with which ne has viewed the attacks

the president says in his letter ac-

The president goes on to declare

How Old People
May PrOlOng
Their Lives

At advanced age the organs act
more slowly than in youth. Circu-
lation becomes poor, blood thin and
watery, appetite ftful, and diges-
ton weak. This condition leaves
the system open to disease such as
Coughs, Colds, Grippe, Pneumo-
MIA, Rheumatism, etc.
VINOL is the greatest health
creator and body builder we know
of for old people, as it supplies
the very elements needed to re-
build wasting tissue and replace
weakness with strength.
HERE Is THE PROOF
A case is recorded in Albany, ". Y, Of
a woman who felt she was breaking
down BY age and was doomed to the
weak aud feeble condition of old people,
She had no strength and the slightest exc
ertion tired her, but NiNOL made her
wen and strong. and she STATES that she
feels ten years younger than she did be-
fore taking fINOL.
We ask every aged person in
this neighborhood to try bottle
of VINOL with the understanding
that we will return their money if it
does not prove beneficial.

THE BULLION TAX.

While to all intents and purposes the meas
ure recently introduced in the assembly by Mer-
rift of Churchill-tagged as an administration
measure to abolish the Office of state bullion
tax collector and the board of assessors is
harmless bill and is for the express purpose of
bringing all state taxation within control of
state tax commission, there is serious doubt eX-
pressed as to the underlying motives. Accord
ing to many interested parties there is "a niger
in the woodpile."
Provided the bill is for the sole purpose of
concentrating the work of assessment and collec-
ton of taxes all well and good. Bat it is
generally believed that the tax commission will
be most lax in the collection of the bullion tax.
A tax that should today, if properly collected
the valuation as set by operators, go long
way towards defraying the expenses of the state
government. At the present time, with board
of assessors and bullion tax collector, the state
falls far short of her legitimate percentage OF
the bullion owned in many mines and with the
contemplated change il is firmly believed that
she will be a further loser

"A FORLoRN HOPE. +"

Under the foregoing caption our worthy con
temporary, the Goldfeld Tribune, takes excep-
ton to editorial which appeared in the Bo-
nanza last Friday evening, which advocated the
adoption by this state Of the referendum and
suggested that the people-the vitality interested
party-be allowed a voice in the question of
"to be or not to be- relative to gambling
While taking a portion of this editorial and
endeavorng to answer same, the Tribune ignores
the main point of the article, which was head
ed Let the people decide. and merely comes
out with defense of the purtancal narrow
minded, bue-law regime that at the present
time is proving so popular with demagogues
and muckrakers
While quoting the following from the Bo-
nanza, the Tribune fails to make any reply
Probably this is an oversight, but more likely the
reply is not Forthcoming. for the reason that
the Tribune realizes that the Bonanza is correct:
1.-The result is that many of the
counties have been placed on script
basis and, from present indications, it
Will be but matter OF time before they
are compelled to repudiate their
script"
What answer can the Tribune make to the
prophecy? Does it not see the handwriting on
the wall so far as its county is concerned {?
However, to get down to that portion Of the
article to which the Tribune did attempt to
make reply, it says:
THE increased business Gas result
OF the closing Of gambling in Arizona
and New MeXico) caused business men
to cheerfuly assess themselves to meet
the depreciation in the school funds.
which We're recruited largely from the
gambling tax The same may be said
of the town tax in Nevada T"
To again trouble the Tribune with ques-
ton. Does that newspaper believe that the
business men of Goldfeld would cheerfully
themselves TO cover the deficit as a re-
suit of the closing down of the gambling
houses?
According to the statements of numerous Of
the business men Of Goldfeld, and their ex-
pressed desire to get out" of the dead
camp as they term it, we cannot believe that
the business men quite as anxious to chip
in the Tribune would have us believe.
While the manager of the Bonanza has only
been in this camp a short ten years and the
manager of the Tribune almost two years. the
Bonanza feels little reticent at supplying its
worthy competitor with what it believes to be
information However the statement may not
be amiss that gambling" MADE this section
of Nevada. 1t made Goldfed and but for that
so-called evil the manager Of the Tribune would
not now be wearing out the leather" in his
present office.
But, to return to the original subject, LET
THE PEOPLE DECIDE.

boards would arrange for the payment of sal
aries by means in accordance with the duties
performed The result would be that undesir-
able candidates would enter the lists and in all
probability secure the election through the alb
sence of men with the necessary qualifications
for the different county offices
In order to secure competent men for county
officials, it is imperative that respectable salaries
be offered For cheap salary the county will
secure cheap men, and it is more than likely
that county commissioners. with the idea in
view of saving money for the county, would
nominate cheap wages.

ices of his father. An English
writer suggests that, to add the

praise, the poet laureate, Mr.. Alfred
Austin, might be induced to write
a poem of appreciation. the under
thought, perhaps, being that this

CHAMP CLARK MISTAKEN.

Champ Clark speaker-to-be of congress, in
Srecent address at Washington church, branded
the Johnson-Jeffries fight of last July as
fake " Possibly he correct in this we
cannot say. However, in the same address Mr.
Clark said: Today prize fighting is against the
law in almost every state. Nevada was the last
to get in line and it is pity she did not enact
prohibitive laws against the brutal sport before
that great and scandalous fake pulled in
Reno last July
SO far as we are aware, the only matter
relative to prize fighting that has before
the legislature since the fake" referred to was
placed on the table, law being enacted that
places Nevada in the has-been" class so far
as the fighting game goes. Possibly Mr. Clark
has heard of the ''bue laws the gambling
