LAW MAKERS and STATE OFFICIALS CAN GAMBLE FOR HIGH
STAKES IN CARSON CTTY--THEY ARE IMMUNE
FROM ARREST WHILE SERVING STATE

Sauce for the Goose Not Sauce for the Gande So Fa
Gambling is Concerned in Nevada

The Independent holds no brief
for the gambling fraternity but it
is opposed to all forms Of gambling.
but II is not In favor of the law
making and law enforcing power
of the state, making a monkey of
itself any longer on the gambling
question.
Why is it that members of the
legislature state officials and others
can play for high stakes when the
legislature is in session while the
poor devils back home, who may be
caught playing penny ante are
liable to be sent to the pen.
1t is high time the state officials
took tumble to themselves and
either enforce or repeal the present
law. 1t is blot on the fair name
of a sovereign state and it should
not be allowed to stand in its pre-
sent form, unless it is enforced to
the very letter and spirit of the law.
1t is doubtful whether the inter-
probation given by the late attorney
general will stand if carried to a
court of last resort. If it stands,
then by all means repeal it and en-.
act law that is founded on corr
mon sense.
Let the assembly enact a law
making it criminal offense to
wager money on any and all games
of chance and that will be better
protest from the common people.
The most serious objection urged
against the present law is that ac-
cording to the attorney generals S
department, it is a. felony to play
poker for money, but a man is per-
mitted to gamble his head off so
long as ne plays bridge whist,
seven up, pedro stuff or all ga es
of cards except poker.
That law is joke. or else the
attorney general who rendered
that decision was a prince of jokers.

TWO INAUGURATIONS
IN ONE DAY

Simultaneous with the Inaugural
tion Of Woodrow Wilson as presi-
dent, w. NJ. Mayer was inaugurated
as clerk in the Elko post office
The Post Office Department au-
thorized the employment of an
other clerk here on account of the
increased volume of business. The
parcels post is responsible for the
increase.
The receints Of the Post Office
in Elko have increased rapidly
since the parcels post went into
force.
The =. o. now leaves over $4,000
in Elko, while both express COM
panics leave. so IT is said, less than
$4,000. The Post Office Depart
ment Is now carrying small consign-
ments Of merchandise at very low
rates. Formerly the Express Com
pany got this business at a much
higher rate. On the whole Elko
county has been much benefited by

amend the present law So that
Nevada can no longer be the butt
of ridicule. The Independent calls
upon these who are responsible for
this state of affairs to either do
their duty or else resign and give
way to men who know their duty
and are ready and willing to per-
form it.
This is the way the Ely Record
puts it.
The Record is informed that
member of the legislature was
recently Jared loose from $500 in
a little social game with friends at
the state capitol and yet under the
law or at least according to a rul-
ing of the late attorney general,
this is not gambling just little
recreation and amusement for the
fellow who winS.
The gambling law is farce and
is being ignored in every camp in
the state with the exception of
Tonopah, .,re an effort is still
being made by the sheriff to en-
force it.
Local officials who make no at.
tempt to enforce the anti gambling
law should not be harshly criticized
when state officials and members
of the legislature are openly play
ing for big stakes every day and
evrey night in the states capitol.
The trouble is in the law, rather
than with the officials. In case of
arrests the question naturally
arises: What is gambling? The
law answers certain games and
seems to exclude other games of
chance upon which money is won
and lost. Local officials know that
gambling is going on in every camp
in the state. but they do not know
and probably could not prove that
the anti gambling law is being
broken IL even fractured.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES
Edited by the Students Un-
der the Auspices of the
English Department.

The basket ball boys are with US
again. They report good time
at Reno and Carson. One player
deserves great deal of credit for
trying to uphold the honor of the
school as he was almost too i'll to
play during both games. The score
as already reported stood thirty
nine to twenty-one in favor of Reno
in the Thurday night game and
twenty to thirty in favor of Carson
in the Friday night game. The
boys were invited to play a game
with Gardenerville. They refused
because they wanted to be back
for work Monday morning.
Our beautiful new pictures are
hung and pupils and teachers are
delighted with them. Miss Kne-
meyers room received the Ann
Hathway's Cottage and the STRAIT
ford-on-AvOn, Miss Duame's room
the Derwent Water, by many of the
pupils thought to be the most
beautiful of all, Miss Hershiser's S
room the Coliseum and Miss Koch S
room, the Sir Galahad and the
Niagara Falls. The pictures are
all in the brown tones and framed
in brown.
Harold and Fred Fernald are

Will Hunt seems to have quite
recovered from his recent indisposi-
tion while away. He reported for
duty Monday morning apparently
as we'll as ever.
Miss Stella Wines and Miss NAV
Jewett were initiated into the Tau
Kappa Society Friday afternoon.
Miss Merkley, the vice president
was absent and her place was taken
by Dorothy Patterson who was vice
president last quarter and has as
sisted in the initiation several
times. The other officers were as
follows: President, Zelma Carroll; :;
Secretary-Treasurer, Ruth johnson; !;
Chaplain, Harriet Van Drillan. Miss
Oleta Clark presided at the piano.
The boys missed the upper class
men at parliamentary Drill last Fri
day. But the lower class men
carried on the work in a creditable
manner.
The following is the Tau Kappa
program for next Friday March
seventh:
The Tau Kappa program contains
several interesting features for Fri.
day. March seventh, among them a
