commissioners. If the county has an
assessed valuation of less than TWEEN
ty-five million dollars, only three
commissioners are required.

Another bill has been introduced
and passed providing that county
prisoners may be hired out to work
and their earnings turned over to
dependents. The former bill was We
tOed by the governor on the grounds
that it was too drastic The new bill
reduces the penalty in case of es-
cape, provides for shortening the
sentence for good behavior, fixes
their wages at one dollar per day

sheriff in enforcing the law. In coun

Hog Cholera Serum
bill which recently became
law provides that the college of ag--
riculture shall furnish cholera serum
to bona-fide residents of this state
at a very moderate price for the
purpose of exterminating the dis
ease within the state Five thousand
dollars has been appropriated for
each year to carry on the work In
some places in the state hog chol-
era has become a menace to the
farmers, and a vigorous campaign
will be made to arrest it's progress.

trial commission is clothed with au-
thority to enforce the act, which in
sures it's success.
Prohibited Empioyments
A bill has passed both houses of
the legislature which gives an ex
haustive list of prohibited employ
that minors and females will not be
allowed to be employed in. The in
dustrial commission will enforce the
act. It Is designed to keep boys and
from engaging in any en-
ployment detrimental to their health
or to their morals.

The minimum wage bill for women
is nearing passage. 1t is confined to
few occupations and gives the In.
dustrial commission authority to
make investigations into the subject.
1t will have the effect of shedding

Under a bill recently passed, the
state superintendent of schools is
given an additional appropriation for
the purpose of carrying on investi-
cations of the courses offered in the

SENATOR PITTMAN
KNOWS ABOUT NEVADA

Yet Pittman swore he had been de-
luged by letters, kilograms and cir
culars, attempting to improperly
influence him. Mr.. Pittman did
not produce before the committee a
single letter, telegram or circular to
prove what he had said was true.
Eastern senators who made charges
that they had been'deluged with let
ters and kilograms brought such
documents with them as evidence,
but for some reason or another,
Senator Pittman produced nothing.
He also swore that 80 per cent of
the people Nevada had no inter-
est in wool. We wonder how Sena-
tor Pittman got this information.
In the campaign three years ago
Senator Pittman advocated free
wool and was defeated In the last
campaign he was elected under a
pledge to vote for duty on wool of
from 20 to 20 per cent. More than
ninety per cent of the people of Ne
vada voted for a duty on wool, and
even at that Pittman was elected by
minority vote, but he would not
have been elected at all had he
publicly declared for free wool.
Senator Pittman swore that he
did not remember receiving any
circulars on the tariff except those
about raw wool. We personally
know that many circulars relating
to manufacturers of wool were sent
to Pittman. Of course, they may
have been lost in the mails and he
did not receive them. However, we
did see letters that Senator Pittman
wrote to q man in New england who
was representing the greatest
trust in the world, concern reput-
ed to have $50, 900, 900 of water in
its capital. He asked this man to
give him evidence to use against
the wool growers of Nevada, and
this man furnished him part of his
speech.
Mr.. Pittman is more resident of
Alaska than Nevada. He is chair
man of the committee on territories.
In that capacity he is using every
effort to induce the federal gov
ernment to make an appropriation
of $50, 900, 900 for the construction
of railroad to Alaska to develop
certain properties that are in the
hands of certain Individuals. He is
willing to spend $50, 100000 of gov
ernment money to develop Alaska
but not one cent to develop Nevada.
He deliberately swore that neither
the shee) or sugar industry of Ne
vada amounted to anything. No
man who knows Nevada history
would have done this. The sheep
industry of Nevada represents more
than 25 per cent of the entire live
stock industry of the state.
Senator Pittman is unwilling to
vote to give protection to the pow
erty stricken sheep herder of Ne
vada who, he says, receives only
S35 a month, but he is mighty anx-
ious to vote to give protection of
from 35 to AS per cent to the men
who own the wool factories. The
trust will get that, not the men.
Pittman's whole testimony shows
an ill-concealed effort to discredit
the men engaged in the sheep in
dustry of Nevada. He was even
willing to swear to things he could
prove in order to injure them. Now,
why was this? Pittman had been
elected under normal obligation to
vote for wool duty of from 20 to
29 per cent. He knew this, and he
knew that the people of Nevada
knew it. All at once something in
duced him to advocate free wool.
