ferring to the instructions of the
state executive board of the Social
ist party which meets in Reno week
ly. A number of measures are to be
drawn and will be presented to the
session in due time.
White Pine county is without a
high school and is DESTROYS of hav-
ing one, says the Reno Gazette. To
this end a bill will be introduced
by the White Pine county delegation
providing for a bond issue by the
county TO raise funds for the con-
struetion and furnishing of the
school.
The bill will provide for a bond
issue OF $4,000. 1t has no opposition
among White Pine taxpayers and will
become a law without trouble.
At the present time there are about
100 students at Ely and they are dis
tributed in several buildings through
out the city. In addition to this there
are many students eligible to high
school from other parts of the county
One of the big fights of the legis-
lative session Is expected 10 revolve
around a bill introduced by Assembly
man Gardiner. OF Washoe county. The
bill has for its object the repeal of
the act of the last session creating
the bureau Of industry. agriculture
and Irrigation. Under this act c. 4.
Noreross has held office. The act
made an appropriation of $4,000 for
two years work and the amount was
exceeded. leaving a balance of the
salary of Commissioner Norcross I'M
paid. He later secured the balance
Through the courts.
II has been predicted that a fight
against the continuance of the com
mission would be made during the SEES
sion, the interests of economy being
its basis, but 1t was 0 expected to
crop out so soon. In view of the tenor
of the governors message, which calls,
first, for the reform of the present sys-
tenn OF taxation in order to list all tax
able property and bring up the reye-
nues of the state, and, second, for the
development of new taxable property
by encouraging the settlement of farm
lands, it is likely a veto is in store for
the bill, should it pass both houses.
The governors message advised the
continuance of the work carried on by
the commission, and no other fate for
the bill than a veto seems likely if it
passes.
Dave Mclean. grand master of the
Odd Fellows of the state, was in Car
son City. Monday evening, and made
and o1heial visitation to the lodge in
Carson City. Dave has been up
against some cold weather thu far on
his trip, but the chilliness of the at
mosphere is more than offset by the
glad hand extended wherever he
stops. and there was no exception at
the capital city.
Senator Chaplin from Ely, was taken
sick at Reno, and for several days
was decidedly under the weather. We
are glad to state that he is again on
the eonYalescent list, and taking a
hand in The affairs senatorial.
As will be seen by the list of sen
ate committees, White Pine county
has Jared pretty we'll, rather better
in fact than did those at the hands of
Speaker Brandon in the assembly.
Senator Fulmer has already intro
duced Senate bill No. 10. creating a
nigh school in White Pine county.
One of the interesting and pre-
sumably warm fights of the session,
will come up tomorrow afternoon, in
the assembly, when the matter of the
veto of the bills of the 25th session
will be taken up for final action. None
of the measures will be passed over
the veto, as neither side of the house
can muster enough strength, says the
News, but there will be considerable
oratory spilled, and many will ex-
press their minds.
The woman's suffrage amendment
passed the assembly. Friday, when
reported from the committee. Cole of
Nye county. spoke in favor of the
