The EncOnOmy
Commission

SENATOR NEWLANDS and
others have formulated and distrib-
uted a pamphlet to the taxpayers,
and others who don't pay taxes, and
which has taken a lot of work on
the part of the ~originators. 1t is
well edited, gives plenty OF figures
and is convincing in so far as the
expense to the state is CON
cerned.
Suggestions are many. Trimming
down Of expense is the general sug-
g%estion, but just where TO trim or

some other friend drawing down the
salary. The suggestion is there. the
knife whctted, but the victim is yet
to be selected. and the Legislative
members are TO make the enemy.
Then the tax matter is taken up.
Every taxpayer realizes that more
money is needed in the treasury, bur
the way to get it is like the above;
il is left for the legislature to hnd

The trimming Of commissions. the

as suggested are all right. but in the
entire two pages of fine statistics
there is no definite plan, no plain
statement as who TO lop off, or how
to "gct tab" on the big man who
lodges his taxation.
In regard to the taxation problem
one member OF the committee about

committee was in meeting. He
stated that the laws of Nevada were

Governor Marshall

Governor Marshall is a pretty wise

He is a good scholar. a good lawye,.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.-The biggest

WASHINGTON. Aug. 10.-Secretary
Fisher has q plan to allot government
coal lands to cities which in turn may
operat them, under certain reguls-
tions, to supply municipal needs as
we'll as those of citizens.
As fret step in the plan, Secretary
Fisher has recommended that congress
pass bill granting $40 acres OF coal
land to the city of Grand Junction,
COL, and meanwhile the interior de-
partment has withdrawn from entry
the land the city desires.
Cities in Colorado, Wyoming. Utah
Montana, Idaho and other public
lands in states west of the Missouri
river would be most vitality affected
by Secretary Fishers plan.

the secretary of the interior to patent
$40 acres of government coal land tor
each city and 160 for each town un'
der conditions providing for prompt
and continuous development of the
coal. the prevention of any assignment
or transfer of the land, the safeguard

Senate Answers British Protest.

Senate Answers BRUSH TTOteSt.
WASHINGTON August by vote
of A to IL, the senate refused tonight
to strike from the Panama canal bill
the provision exempting American
ships from payment OF tolls for pas
sage through the Panama canal. De.
bate on the question had continued
until nearly midnight. The senate
then adjourned until tomorrow with
out voting on the bill itself.
The defeat of the Burton amend
mens to strike out the discrimination
in favor of American ships was the
senate's defiant answer to the protes,
of the British government against the
legislation. It was the clause of the
bill which led Great Britain TO send q
formal protest to the state department.
