Diporcs and Bank Measures
The Carson correspondent Of the Gold
field Tribune says:
The first scrap on the divorce law took
place In the Assembly Monday morning
/ when Schoer OF Elko gave notice of Q
bill amending the present law. Immsdi.
ately thereafter Barnes OF Nye intro
duoed . bill amending the present law.
Barnes bill was allowed to go before
she Assembly after . discussion on pre-.
cedenoe.
Gardiner Of Wsshoe moved to post.
pons consideration Of Barnes bill In.
definitely. This was voted down, how.
ever. by 81 to 81. the first show Of hands.
Gardiner then moved to have the
enscting clause stricken ont. but after
ZONE discussion he withdrew his
motion.
Barnes bill proposes to change the
period required to establish residence
from six months to one year. Other.
wise it does not alter the present law.
Il was referred to the committee on
Judiciary, where Wsshoe's delegation
will resume the effort to kill It..
The Heffernan resolution calling for
ar investigation Of why Judge Langan
of the Carson district court refuses to fix
Q stated ealary for the receiver Of the
State Bank g. Trust Company. and
why he has allowed him $40, 900 q year
10 still in committee. Strong efforts are
being made to sidetrack the resolution,
but Senator Heffernan 10 determined
that every step taken shall be in the
open or the public shall know the reason
why.
A sign that the Hef1ernsn document
10 something of . bombshell is the way
the State Bank q Trust Company
crowd are sourrying around. Frank
Wildes' friends and beneficiaries are
doing what they can to save the re-
oeiver's head. Talk Of the recall has
startled every one.
Proposed Primary Election Changes
Some Of the proposed amendments to
the Primary election law provide that
in order TO q down the cost materially
IL Is proposed to take the registration
out of the hands of the Justices Of the
Peace OF the various townships and put
IL in the hands of County Clerks.
Another provision will be to eliminate
independent Republican and independ-
emit Democratic candidates. providing
that q candidate, who does not enter the
contest at the Primary election must
run simply rs an "independent" and
pay into tho County Clerk the same fees
paid by those who participate in the
Primary election. A provision will also
be made for the early selection Of ooun-
ty central committees.
One of the worst features of the pres
ent law is the fact that men of one party
can vote the ticket Of another party in
order to secure weak candidates on the
opposition ticket. To remedy this it is
proposed to have every voter register
his politics and then. when he presents
himself to vote at the primaries. the
judges Of election will hand him the
ticket Of the party to which he belongs
without his announcing his politics.
