PUBLICITY HAS GASOLINE ODOR

The purchase of a $500 auto
mobile for the use of the publicity
comission is causing good deal
Of comment in the state papers.
The Reno Journal criticises the
deal while the Gazette, Carson!News
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-.
tion to critiicise 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
missioners can be to the state with
an appropriation Of $4,000 for
two years. If the News is correct
the state will reap hat little
benefit after the salaries and
automobile expenses are paid.
Following is it's comment:
Look at 1t this way once:
The appropriation of the publicly
commission for two years, is but
$4,000. No further can it go.
Salary publicity commissioner
two years. $1,000.
Assistant two years, $4,000.
Office expenses two years, $500.
One automobile, $500.
Expense Of keeping and operat.
ing an automobile two years, &c.
600.
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 prospect for anything |
better than the old relic, Sam
Davis was able to report after his
term Of office expired.
II this is fair sam pie of how the
administration measures are to
work out, our people may yet
rejoice that the last legislature
was hardly anything mroe than a
stumbling block for the admin
straiion.
In the campaign promises
we certainly had more to expect.
Well, If II can do nothing more
tho publicity commission can run
about the state and tell our people
what republican 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
1t. That and strong odor OF
gasoline will serve to let the people
kn,w 1t is In existence.
For how are we to know Il on
$4,000 q year?

Putting Furniture In
Your Home:

Is like putting money in a
savings bank. 1t is a safe
and positive way Of adding
to your worldly possessions;
it makes you feel better
about your home, and it
makes you happier and more
comfortable in it. Then the
value that you secure in the
prices that we quote gives
you superbly made fuIni-
ture.
Little wonder that shreWd
furniture buyers arrange to
do their spring furniture
buying in the month Of
March. Many careful house
keepers lay aside a little at Il
time for a whole year in or
der to buy certain things
they desire at housecleaning
time. Perhaps the saving
has been slow and tedious.
Now in a moment our
moderate prices adds near
half as much to the purchas-
ing power Of these savings.
And the only magic that
exists in this world is the
result of brains and skill and
work. The strenuous use of
all three during the last few
months has brought together
the splendid furniture that
is shown on our floors today
at such remarkably low pri-
ces. Many have already
come and bought. You'll not
wonder at it when YOU in.
spect our offerings. If you
have a home of your own, il
fact, or in prospect, and have
a might of love for it, and
enjoy securing of much fol
little.
An inspection over oul
three floors will reveal some
fine examples Of nearly ev
cry style of modern furni
tlre.
