the Alpine Development Board, hav-
ing as its object the general advance
ment of all things bearing on the
welfare of that county.
The Board has appointed what is
known as the tourist committee

Grant Merrill and Fred Dunlap.

to induce Nevada autoists to travel
over the new Alpine highway which
starts at Woodfords and threads its
way up the Kit Carson Canyon and
yer the Grass Lake grade to Lake
Lake Tahoe.

es through some of the most magni-
ficent mountain scenery to be found
in the west. California is spending
a large sum of money to put this
highway in condition. The grade is
an easy one and can be traversed
! by autos without undue strain to
the machine.
The gentlemen, whose names are
given above, will be pleased tc
answer any inquiries regarding
the highways of Alpine county.

Canned for One Year

Although the new tax law is now
in effect it will not be put in opera
ton this year, according to a
statement of Assessor Arid. He is
11ow assessing property and the old
property valuation is being used as
d basis for his work.
The tax levy was made for this
year before the legislature enacted
the law wherein all property must
be assessed to its true cash valua-
ton. Therefore, If the old levy was
used in connection with the new
law the rate in reality would be a.
bout SO per each 500 assessed valu-
alton This condition would arise
from the fact that the present valu-
alton is fixed at about one-third the
actual cash value.
With the new law operative in
Douglas count the tax rate will
be little bette than 81 on each
500. However, with the assesse d
valuation raised about two-thirds
the tax rate will be the same as
now, the only material difference
being the increase of the valuation
of taxable property To somewhere
near its actual value.

Good Move Started
By Citizens

A movement has been started in
Gardnerville to raise money for
cleaning all of the streets within the
the town limits and keeping them
clean. Business men and property
owners willingly subscribed to the
fund and only few more signers
are required to put the scheme in
operation. Some of the business
men have signed up for 81 per
month, but the majority of contri-
buttons are for 25 cents a week.
There is nothing that adds to the
appearance of town as clean, well
kept streets and while a majority of
the people of this town have always
taken pride in keeping the streets
in a very clean condition, some
portions of town do not present a
very inviting appearance.

Commissioners
Reject Road
Bids

The Board of County Commission
ers met at Genoa on Saturday May
18th, at 1:30 p. M, that being the
time set for considering the bids for
constructing and grading a road in
to Red Canyon.
There was one bid on file, that of
Emil Peterson in the sum of S31OO.
the county to furnish all drain pipes
needed. By unanimous vote of the
Board the bid was rejected.
The Board by a unanimous vote
rescinded the action taken on May 5,
in granting the petition to establish,
repair and maintain a public high
way from point three and one half
miles southeast of Gardnerville into
Red Canyon Mining District. The
petition was referred back to the
petitioners for the reason that the
petition does not contain the requir-
ed number of names to warrant the
Board in granting the said petition
which would be illegal and unjust to
the majority of tax payers of
Douglas county.
The clerk was instructed to pur-
chase for the recorders Office a
Remington standard typewriter No.
10.
Leon B. Hawkins was employed to
map and plat the various school
districts of Douglas county.

Editor Green Has
Exciting Moment

Especial to the Record -Courier)
James Green, editor of the Car
son Appeal, had an experience last
week that he will not soon forget.
A travelling minstrel show failed to
patronize his advertising columns
and the editor slammed the show
in great style. This raised the ire
of the show manager and he laid his
wires to get even with the editor
man. One of the end men in the
show, an eX-prize fighter, was select
ed to wait for Green on his way
home to supper and punch him.
Just as the editor turned off of
Main street he was accosted by the
big coon, who made vicious swing
at Green's think tank. Green duck
ed and dived through the first gate
he came to with his assassin close
at his heels. Up the steps and into
the house went Green like a frigh-
tened deer and jumped into a close
closet where he tainted. His pursuer
vanished down the street and about
this time the man of the house
walked in and found his wife greatly
excited. Before she had time to ex-
plain what had occurred, the hus-
band caught sight of Green's hat
lying on the floor near the closet
door. Without waiting for an ex-
planation he opened the door and
found Green. Pulling a gun he
attempted to shoot the intruder but
was prevented from doing so by his
wife who persuaded her husband to
allow her explain.
Green swears that he will never
again roast minstrel show.

Teams Are Now
Crossing Summit

Wilton Young, who conducts a
store and resort at Bijou, was down
from the Lake this week. He re-
ports that the first team to reach
Bijou over the Placerville road
pulled in last Saturday. The camp
ers crossed through two feet of
soft Snow on the second summit.
1t is believed the road will not be
open to auto travel until June.
He reports that his grandmother,
Mrs. C. H. Young and his sister Miss
Vida, who spent the winter at
Placerville, arrived at Bijou few
days ago and will remain there fol-
the summer.

Candidates Are
Protection Bu
New Law

When the last legislature passed
the Purity Election Law" the
persons who framed it must have held
office at some time, as the following
clause protects the Office and would
be office-holders. in that they are
exempted from contributing to all
public or private affairs.
Heretofore these men have been
mark for solicitors, and it was
worth a mans office to refuse one.
Now when they are approached they
can refer to the law, as printed be-
low:
Section 21. No person shall de-
mand, solicit, ask or invite any pay
ment or contribution for any relig-
ious, political, charitable, social or
other cause or organization suppos-
ed to be primarily or principally for
tn public good, from a person who
seeks to be or has been nominated
or elected to any Office; and no such
candidate or elected person shall
make any such payment or contribu-
tion if it shall be demanded or asked
during the time he is a candidate
for nomination or election to or
while an incumbent of an office. No
payment . or contribution for any
purpose shall be made a condition
precedent to the putting of name
on any caucus or convention ballot
or nomination or petition, or to the
performance of any duty imposed
by law on political commsttee. No
person shall deman, solicit or invite
any candidate to subscribe to the
support of any club, church or
organization of any kind, to buy
tickets to any entertainment or ball,
or to subscribe Or pay for space in
any book, program, periodical or
other publication; if any candidate
shall make any such payment or
contribution with hope or intent to
influence the results of the election,
he shall be guilty of corrupt prac-
tice; but this sction shall not apply
to the solicitation of any business
advertisement for insertion in any
| periodical in which such candidate
was regularly advertising prior to
his candidacy, nor to ordinary busi-
ness advertisements, nor to his reg
ular.payment to any organization,
religious, charitable or otherwise,
of which he may have been a men,
ber, or to which he may have been
a contributor, for more than six
month before his candidacy, nor to
ordinary contributions at church
services.

ARE WE RIGHT?

We do not mean to be under
stood because we are in favor of
the unit law or a different popu-
lation law concerning local OPP
ton to be opposed to the welfare
and growth of our neighbor city,
CaruthcrSvillc. We would like
to sec Caruthcrsvillc continue to
grow and prosper, because her
prosperity is the prosperity of
the county. So is the proSperi.
ty of Hayti and every town in
the county the prosperity of the
county. We are only demanding
equal rights, a chance to work
out our destiny without being
hampered by an inequita able law.
We ask the right to have saloons
if they are permitted to exist
elsewhere in the county, and we
see no unreasOnableneSs in this
demand, because communities
as we'll as citizens are entitled to
equal rights. The world was not
made for one or few, but for
US all, and the blessings bestow-
ed should be distributed equally.
Past experiences have taught us
that with the saloons out of Hay
ii and in our sister city a few
miles away only increases our
evils and prostrates our bust
ness. The cause for this is
found in the inconsistency of
mankind. If Caruthersville
could have her saloons and Hayti
without them could prosper com
mercially and morally, we would
see no inequality in the present
local option law. Think this over,
and you cannot help but see we
are right.

POW Err OF THE PRESS.

For six long months the United

a brother of John ID. Rockefeller,
for the purpose of serving him
with "A simple subpoena to appear

And the Government failed.
This great Government of the

The state tax commission might am
swer this little query, propounded by
the Kimball Graphic: IF Smith by
hard work makes piece Of raw prairie
blossom like the rose, and from its earn
iings creates valuable farm, and in
turn turns il over to his son and takes
his note for it, has the property doubled
in value from that transaction? Should
both the farm and note be taxed? If
when the son makes enough money to
take up the note, or his father receives
nothing from the note. and makes the
son prssento of the farm eventually
outright, and burns the note, has the
commonwealth lost anything? If not,
why tax it?''
