The political pot at Carson City
has again boiled over and among the
froth that flowed down the sides is
CLEANED the fact that L. F. Adamson
is seriously considering entering the
race for Secretary of State. Mr..
Adamson is now Secretary of the
State Tax Commission and formerly
was State License and Bullion Tax
Agent and State Auditor. He is one
of the best informed men in the
State, and has a wide circle of &C
quaintances, formed while perform
ing his duties as Bullion Tax Agent.
1t is rather early in the game for any
announcement for the primaries, but
this fact is apparent--there will be
lively times next year and no man
will be made a present of any office.

Washoe Must Take Its Medicine

Washoe declines to recognize the
State Tax Commission. When the
old Pitt Revenue bill was passed
Washoe was the first county to fight
it. Washoe has a fine and well or
gained gang of tax dodgers and they
fight any proposition that compels a
Just and equitable collection of taxes.
But Washoe is not the whole State,
and it will be compelled to come
through with its just share of taxes
with which to run the State govern
ment.--Carson Appeal.

Gets Electric Current
For Motor From Clouds

A news item from Elk Grove, Call
fornia, says:
Representatives of the Pacific Gas
and Electric Company of Sacramento
and several automobile loads of clti-
zens journeyed to the Da Rosa ranch
Saturday to see young Roy Thompson
operate a 35 horsepower test motor
by electricity attracted from the at
mosphere by magnets, Leyden jars
and tuning coils.
The electric people have become
so interested in Thompson's expert
ments that they loaned him the test
motor, saying that if he could make
it run by his device he could operate
a street car by the same system. 1t
required 400 volts to start the motor.
Thompson's experiment with the
motor was a perfect success, for ne
had the motor running at full speed
in the presence of all without any
visible means of power.
Another valuable principle that
this young electrical genius has dis
covered is to compel the sound waves
that carry wireless messages to oper-
ate a Morse telegraph instrument.

New Kind Stamp Book

AT thousands of post offices through
out the country there soon will be
put on sale a combination postage
stamp book. 1t contains "a two-cent
and an equal number of one-cent
stamps, and the price is 70 cents. The
popularity of the old-form book of
II two-cent stamps selling for rs
cents has suggested that the combi-
nation of two and one-cent stamps
will meet with favor of the public.
Instructions to postmasters regard
ing the sale of the new books were
issued from the post Office depart
ment at Washington last week.

Back To The People

There are being circulated through
Elko County several petitions asking
that the bill allowing the town of
Wells to build a high school at a cost
of $40, 900, passed at the last term of
the Legislature, be referred back to
the voters under the referendum law
that is now in force in the State of
Nevada. This is the first instance
wherein the section relating to cleo
tons has been invoked, making it
possible to refer any law passed by
the Legislature back to the people
for a vote, and if a majority of the
voters give it their approval it be-
comes a law.---Free Press.

of one per cent of it's authorized
stock. The majority of the Justices
held that this meant a tax on the
privilege of doing business within the
State, and not a tax upon corpora
tons outside the State. The decision
certainly marks an epoch in State
taxation.
1t is likely that all other States
will fall in line and copy after the
Massachusetts, tax law upon foreign
corporations. 1t would mean agreat
deal to Nevada. Our richest cor
porations are foreign corporations,
doing business within this State, and
distributing the dividends to foreign
stockholders. Such a tax would also
tend to eliminate a whole lot of wild
eating, and force the corporations
to squeeze the water out of their
authorized capital stock Carson

Women Cant Get Work

San Francisco, November l2.---To
the Governors of all the States of the
Union the Young Women's Christian
Association of San Francisco has
sent letters asking their aid "in cop

becoming alarming" Women from
all walks in life, says the letters, have
been coming to the Association in
constantly increasing numbers from
good positions in the East, under the
impression that the Panama-Pacif
Exposition will create more positions
than can be filled by women of the
State. Many of these women say
they are already starving. There

women to fill every position now

DR.. c. F. Aked, a Baptist minister
of San Francisco, and special writer
for the Examiner, was a recent visit
or to Reno, and while there was
given an LII. D.. by the State Univer-
sity. The ceremony of comforting
this degree entailed the wearing dur
ing the performance of a certain cap
and gown, of just what material and
style deponent knoweth not, but in
the bills of September allowed by
the University authorities it appears
that an appropriation of $40 was
made for that purpose, and though
of small amount it will have to be
paid for by the taxpayers of the
State.
DIR. Aked has never been a friend
of Nevada, and time and again has
lambasted us for arboring Divorces.
He has also taken falls out of the
State for other apparently personal
reasons, so there appears to be no
excuse for paying for any honors to
confer on him, unless some individ-
ual's vanity is hopeful of recognition.

Kind Words For Tax Commission

Beyond the question of adoubt the
Tax Commission is making good,
That is being demonstrated by the
manner in which they go after the
big corporations, cattle and land
owners, without in any manner EN-.
barrassing the small owners, who al
all times pay their share of taxes.
Working along the lines started by
the Commission, it is only a question
when, no doubt, everything will be
adjusted to the satisfaction of al
square-dealing taxpayers.--Spark'

that coal dealers give full weight.
The enforcement of the pure food

impure milk and other food-stuffs

the result that few violations r re-

brings to him the best part of any
