paper method preferable from a

NEWSPAPER VS.. PAMPHLET

The objects or puDlShlnS cousti-
tutional amendments and initiated

publicity possible. and we contend
that publicity in the two leading
newspapers in each county is better
than any strictly pamphlet measure.
We propose in our bill to give
pamphlet but as section OF
newspaper.
The expense as given by G. f.
Hosmer, state commissioner OF pub
lie printing, for the thirteen refer
red measures, and those known to
be being initiated. Is under the
pamphlet plan endorsed by the Di-
rect Legislation League-as fol-

A LESSON FROM ELkO
ON HANDLING OF FINANCES

Elko county is not raising any
cry of hard times. Farmers and
stockmen are rolling in wealth, and
the best evidence of prosperity sell
dom encountered in any state is
the immunity Of the county from a
delinquent tax list. Recent compila-
ton of figures disclose phenome-
nal condition which should be COM
mercialized on the spot. The tax
list contains the names of 1900 tax
payers, with an average per capita
of $4,000, or total of $4,000, 900,
and not dollar of taxes was de-
faulted this year. The county is
on cash basis, and the indebted
ness is Of trifling character The
principal industry is stock raising
and ranching, but the mining ele-
ment is drifting back to the rugged
hills to try once more to develop
/ properties whose records show they
