Mr. August Muller, now of Midlo-
THAN, Texas, but long a valued citi-
zen of West Feliciana, left Friday
morning for home, after visit Of
ten days or more to his daughter,
Mrs Fred Hochenedel. 1t has been
six years since Mr.. Muller left here,
and Texas has used him well, as he
does not look a day older. Although
he and his sons are doing well tn ere,
Mr.. Muller has very soft spot in
his heart for his old home. He says
we have the land certainly, but we
do not know how to handle it so
well as the Texans do theirs, and be-
sides we have not the roads. Roads,
Mr.. Muller thinks, is the key to
prosperity. And good roads cannot
| be had without spending money. He
tells of the large sums spent on
even the short stretches of road in
the vicinity of Midlothian, but which
bring the people large returns. He
thinks we can do as well with more
people-and roads-and roads. Old
friends were delighted to see Mr.
Muller again. The colored people
who had known him in the store and
on the plantation, flocked to see
him.

To Be Tested

THE action taken b ythe Industri-
al Commissioners OF this state tends
to point to business from the start.
In order to prevent early mistakes
from creeping into what. is probably
one of the best laws passed at the
late session, the members of this new
commission are taking active lessons
in application of the law. They will
visit Washington where the law is
operative and where it has been a
success from both points OF view,
thai Of the employed and those who
hire.
Nevada has taken a step forward
| in this problem. If there is virtue in
this method of adjusting damage
claims it will soon be set to practice.
II il does not work it will readily be
seen and the defects discovered. The
| work of this commission will have
! the eyes of the entire labor field on it,
| and any benefits will be to their in
| t~erestS. The main idea OF this law is
| to adjust claims for damages without
( the courts and the lawyers taking the
major part of the amount awarded

A Hard Problem

THE County Commissioners OF
this county are up against a hard
problem. They wish to repair the
roads, to expend money j~udiciously
and to satisfy the desire 81 the pro-
prcssive, but at the same time they
do not wish to swamp the county
with over-taxation rates.
The members of this elected COM
mission have practically put the mat
ter up to the taxpayers. IT they wish
a high rate Of taxation for the repair
Of public roads they can have it and
the Commissioners will pass on the
matter and ask the loan. If, on the
other hand, the taxpayer does not
wish the burden he can so state, and
If in the majority, he will rule. 1t is
this sort of work on the part of the
present Commissioners that is along
sound and sane lines.
The question is a big one. There
is a demand for a better road to Lake
Tahoe. and it is also a business prop
o%sition. At the same time the fact
is evident that with a lower tax rate
il is more inviting for investment
than with a high rate. 1t has been
the cndeavor of the present board to
reduce taxation. There is no ques-
ton but that the Ormsby County
people will stand for a slight raise,
but one along horizontal planes Will
not meet public approval.
Unfortunately this county is the
smallest in Nevada. its arc
limited. and on this score the Com
missioners are fighting shy Of big
debt or higher rates. Their caution
j. commcndable. and it is 70 rthe peo-
pie TO say il they want the goods
when they come marked up.

Law is Intricate One

1t has been declared that the Rus
sell bill, which was at first claimed
to be the proper thing for raising
funds for civic improvements, is an
unwieldly and expensive affair and
provides little if any relief. If a few
laws enacted by the recent leg
islature are declared useless or prac-
t~ically SO, ii will be found that but
little was accomplished, with the
probable exception of providing ways
and means for raising none to help
boost and build up California at her
fairs, 1t would seem that Nevada is
quite generous in helping another
state but does little for itself.

Just California

FROM the reports that come over
the wires and the action Of Governor
Johnson and the California Legisla-
ture. it seems that there is a determi-
nation to pass the Anti-alien law
without amendment or regard to CON
stitutional right, The C%alifornians
have been warned to be cautious. but
the advise OF the President or the
friendly influence Of others is disre-
parded. From the appearance Of the
problem it seems that all kinds OF
trouble will ensue, and it is not un-
likely that the abrogation OF treaties
will follow the action of California.
IT would but be justice should Japan
and other Oriental races take the
matter up, expell the American from
their domain and tell them that no
trading was permitted until there was
a better understanding on race lines.

DECIDES AGAINST ICE PLANT.
Landlords Proposal for Commerce
Building Cannot Be Accepted.

Although money would be saved and a
better sanitary condition established, the
Department Of Commerce, by the law as
construed by Controller of the Treasury
Tracewell, may not accept the PROPOSE
tons of its landlord to install refriger-
ating plant for providing iced water for
the establishment.
Controller Tracewell holds that. al
though the contingent expense account is
drawn upon for the expense Of ice and
service, the installation of a water-cool-
ing plant, which would constitute part of
the building. would change the complex
ion of the business. 1nasmuch as the law
forbids any extra payments out OF ap-
preparations for rental without express
permission OF Congress. the controller
does not see how the economy and eff
cheney can be effected.
The Secretary OF Commerce in his ref
erence points out that the present ice bill
is $S47.23, augmented by cost of labor to
a total Of about 81 500 a year; that the
portable ice coolers, through long-con-
tinued use and natural deterioration, are
insanitary: that the water-cooling plant,
at 500, with electric current for operat-
ing pumps. increasing the cost to an esti-
mated 81 800 or 81, 400. is a distinct saw
ing, and that the substitution is a meas
ure in which there are the desirable adj
vantages of economy and sanitation.

tugal and China have joined the group of
republics, and in many other quarters the
rumblings and mutterings of a republican
spirit are heard, and one would be bold
who would venture to predict how many
governments not republican in nature will
be left fifty or one hundred years hence.
''These two republics, and the others as
well, have the same problems to face the
same difficulties to encounter. The high
cost of living. the growth of socialism and
the increasingly strong call of the cities,
summoning the strong young men Of the
country away from the farms. where
their services are so greatly needed, must
be met and faced. But France and the
United States were never more prosperous
than at present, an dthe spirit which in
this country saved us intact through the
horrors of the war between the states
and which in France had withstood every
plot and conspiracy to bring back to pow
err the old monarchical form of govern
ment will continue to prevail, and these
two republics will go forward In the great
march of progress, moving together in

TEN-YEAR-OLD SCHOOLBOY
FINDS SELF-SLAIN FATHER
Henry Johnson, Colored, Ends Life
With Razor in Bathroom at
p Street Home.

Henry Johnson, colored, fifty years old,
who was employed in the bureau of en-
craving and printing, committed suicide
in the bathroom at his home, 2459 p
street northwest, this morning by cutting
his throat.
Joseph Johnson, ten-year-old son Of the
dead man, returned home from school
about 1890 o'clock and was unable to
get the bathroom door open. He could
not find his father, the housekeeper was
away and his sisters were at their places
of employment.
The boy summoned Martha and Clara
Sewell from the adjoining house and told
them of his troubles. They soon had
the bathroom door open and found the
dead body Of Johnson with his head rest
ing on the edge Of the tub, the razor
which he had used being still grasped
in his hand
Life had been extinct several hours. 1t
is thought that Johnson killed himself
shortly after the boy went to school. The
police were unable to learn any reason
for the deed.

DEFENDS HIGH FLYING.
French Aviator Says It Is Needed
Test of Endurance.

Considerable criticism has been made of
aviators recently for indulging in alti-
tude flights. The altitude figure is now
something over 20.0OO feet. 1t has been
held that no good purpose is served by
such exhibitions and that they should be
discouraged
In that line Lieut.. Harry Arnold. one Of
the American army aviators, has just
made translation of French article by
Jacques Morane, the French aviator, in
which he defends the altitude flight. He
says it is not a particularly dangerous
pastime. as in the high levels the aero
plane is subject to less air disturbance
than lower down and being heavier is bet
ter able to combat such air currents as
it meets. Morane says also that a ma
chine for altitude work has to possess
high inherent stability. which is fea-
ture desirable in all machines, and finally
that there is no test that more fully de-
velops the excess of power demanded for
all machines If they are to fly with
safety.
