Berlin, March i6.-Amcricans in Ser

took to gold lace so readily that one
might suspect him of having been a
colonel on the staff Of some Cover
nor. With the examples set at st.
Petersburg, and Berlin, Anderson con-
sidered that he was justified In setting
a precedent in Brussels and had n uni
form built upon specifications and

gcsts that It would not DO bad idea
Tor the big kingdom of Prussia. which
comprises by far the greater arau and

unmarried persons of both sexes and
chiidiess widows and widowers, who
have yearly income OF not less than
$1,000 shall pay IN additional tax OF
10 per cent. to their regula: income
tax for that figure. Should such a per-
son be supporting some relative, and
therefore not 'unincumbered" In tho
sense of the law, 1t is proposed that the
tax commission shall take this into
consideration in liking the rate and
amount to be paid. The Oldenburg
tax law also provides IA reduction OF
SEA yearly in the tax of resident for
every child in his family who has no
earning capacity.
That nine-t cnths OF the entire in

No Guilty Ones

AMONG the incidents that come to the Governors office
can be counted the letters applying for pardon and parole.
According to the letters more men have been railroaded to prls-
on. more innocent men punished, and fewer real bad m are
held than any other place m earth. The series of letters have
to be gone over semiannually and the way they increase leads
one to believe that the Nevada penitentiary is simply filled with
a lot of good. la~wabding citizens who really should be among
the free men.
THE Democrats in the House have made a most egerious
blunder in voting down the appropriation for two battleships.
If we are to be a world power we must have a feet that will
command respect, and every time any other nation launches a
battleship we must hit the water with a better one, and better
still, with two. The best way to insure peace is to be always
ready with the implements Of strife within reach. This
vote should be reconsidered.
THE Roosevelt people will put forward Hon. Patsy Flani-
gan Of Reno, for its Senatorial candidate in Nevada. This will
make him Key Phtmans principal political opponent and the

Hand in Hand

1T is hard to pick up a Nevada paper that does not chron-
ice in the same issue some encouraging article both on agflcui-
ture and mining. The fact is that the farmer helps the miner,
and the miner in turn buys the product of the farmer. By the
discovery of mines it has mace it possible to reclaim many an
agricultural district that would to-day be mere range.
On the discovery of the TOnopah-Goldfeld section there
were a lot of Out-of-the-way farms and cattle ranges that hardly
knew how to exist. The mines made them a market and they
had never dreamed of. In Inyo County, about the Bishop
Creek section. a new pulse Of life was felt that has placed that
fine agricultural district on the market map and made farms
worth while in Owens Valley.
TT is the same in every section where the mines have open
ed. 1t takes pay days to make prosperity, and the mines make
the pay days. The discovery of any new mineralized territory
means the upbuilding of the farming section. They can't be
too thick nor the farmers too plentiful.

Of Senator Massey from Washington that he desires the toga

and they will face the voters on a proposition of state and Ma
tional issues.
As the fight will be OF popular vote, the candidate recelV-
ing the highest or popular vote being the choice. it obviates the
old money or corrupt practice in the legislative halls. 1t is
good clean business and the people make the selection. The

Dragging by Contract.

"A good many newspapers put up
the cry that it is entirely unreason-
able and useless to expect to get
good road work done by the farmers
and that the only way anything can
be done is to let contracts to men
who make that their sole business.
This opinion is caused by the fail
ure in large portion of the state
of Iowa to secure good results from
the Iowa road drag law during, the
past few months, but the critics
must remember that it has been an
altogether exceptional season. The
spring was very late and after the
farmers got into the field, the work
was crowded continuously and corn
blowing and harvesting overlapped
SO that there has practically been no
time even for a few days, when work
could be done on the road except at
sacrifice in the field.
This is not generally true, because
in ordinary years the dragging OF
the roads can be done when work in
the field is not possible. We agree
with these men that it is not practi
cal to do the heavier work of the
road building with farm labor for
the reason that the farmer is ordin-
arily too busy to give continuous
time and cannot afford to do the
work as cheaply as men equipped for
it and who put in the season in road
building, but the dragging of the
roads can not be made matter of
contract apart from the residents of
the community for the reason that
no man can find continuous employ
ment, in fact, it is scarcely possible
for a man to find two days in sue
cession in which he can drag to good
advantage, the roads in cOmmun-
ity.
The road maintenance can be
done and done successfully by the
land owners has been proven in
Sweden and Norway, where a stretch
Of highway is assigned to the land
and the owner must maintain it in
good condition or it will be repair
ed and taxed to the land. 1t has
been found to be a fairly economical
and successful manner Of maintain
ing the roads and very much in ad-
vance of the English method of local
control. The great trouble with
making any similar system OF drag
SluS lue IOduS oueCllFc III ills
country is that no two men agree up
on a time when dragging should be
done and there would be continu-
Gus disagreement as to whether
work was done before or after the
proper time, but we believe there
is no way in which we can escape
from the necessity of relying upon
the land owners or residents Of a
community for the dragging of earth
roads Time is such an essential
part of the work it cannot be done
during season by men who make
that their business
In those communities where a
healthy good road spirit prevails,
the drag law is proving very success
full, and while this year has been a
very difficult year to get the work
done, the roads are in fairly pass
able condition over a large portion
of the state. 1t is only where public
sentiment does not back up the law
which must necessarily rely largely
upon the support of the people for
it's success, that the road law has
been total failure.-The Road
maker.
