PROTEST
COMES IN
ON A BILL
Lawyers Want All in
A Legal Way

The first scrap of the proposed
the Assembly, The lawyers of Reno,
of a few of them, evidently had talk
with Bert Mcintosh, as they filed a
petition of protest AGAINST the print
ing of briefs, wishing to keep the coin
within their own Offices and not in
any proximity to the printer. The
report was duly read in the Assembly.
but before any action scould be taken
it was promptly placed on the table
From this action it would appear
that Mr.. McIntosch has not fixed all
the members in the lower house, as
he would lead the printers and editors
to believe.
The printers and editors of this
State are simply asking for such
law as is common in other States. In
fact, this law is copy OF the law of
one OF the big States, and it does not
injure any litigant.. 1t makes a clean
er and better record of court briefs.
1t is asked for by some members of
the court. 1t meets the approval OF
such men as former Justice Sweeney,
who has stated that he will talk for
the bill on the floor, if invited.
The opposition, coming from Reno.
was expected by the newspaper men.
Mr. McIntosch evidently made it ::
personal matter to take up the de-
feat of the bill with the Bar Associ-
alton and while they all did not fall
for his game, yet some stood Ill.
Considering the very delicate glass
house that covers the attorneys OF

DISTRESSING
ACCIDENT
REPORTED
Harold PrOtZman
Fatally Injured

A fire in the St Nicholas Hotel ii
Sacramento last night resulted i'll the
death OF four persons, while mum
Der of others were injured Explo
sion OF oil was given as the cause oi
the fire Among those fatally injur-
ed is given the name Of Harold
Protzman. Many in this city are
wondering ii it is Mr.. Protzman for
merly Of this city. and who has been
a resident OF Sacramento for some
time past
Since the above was put in type it
has been learned by telegram that the
Harold Protzman named in the dis
patches was formerly OF this city and
well known here. No particulars
were received other than Mr. Protz-
man with several others was forced
10 jump from the building Tn doing
this it is stated that his back was
broken and internal injuries received
and that the injuries will prove fatal
This is indeed sad news TO the many
friends in this city. Harold Protz-
man during his residence here made
large number of friends. He mar
ried Miss Nellie Burlington Of this
city and the two were among the So
cial favortes

TAX BILL
INTRODUCED
IN SENATE
Commission Regula-
ton Suggested

Probably the most important bill
now confronting the present session
went in this morning in the Senate,
when the new tax commission meas
ure made its appearance.
During the morning the members
OF both houses received report of
the citizens who have been acting as
a commission in order to secure this
data. 1t took book covering 10
pages. 1t goes deeply into the sub
ject and it became book of sta
tistics for the present Legislature to
work on.
The infractions and inequality of
the present system of taxation are
shown. The question is freely dis
cussed. showing a great deal of toll
and energy on the part of the citi-
zens who took up the work and have
brought forth the present measure.
1t is a measure that declares for a
commission on taxation, investing
such power as may be necessary to
bring forth results The abolish
ment of the State Bullion Tax Col
1ector is included in the bill and the
appointive power rests with the
Governor From a short review OF
the matter it certainly seems to carry
lot Of merit with it.
This bill. coming from the Senate.
will be threshed out. and coming
early in the session gives both houses
a chance to know exactly how the
matter stands in the two houses
There seems to be sentiment to
go deeply into this tax question, and
if the bill as it stands, is not passed,
it is certain that one on such lines
will find its way to the Governor

DIVORCE LAW
AND LOBBY

The agitation over the divorce
law is waxing pretty stiff. This
morning a number of protesting par
ties came in from Reno A delega-
ton of women were also on hand,
while several sky pilots lent their
assistance The women are inter
ested, as they are more generally the
applicants for divorces. The sky
pilots are on hand to see just how
bad a job may be made of the matter,
, and the. others are on hand to see the
fun. The members of the H House and
Senate are not publicaly expressing
any belief or conviction. They are
men of their own minds, and all the
lobbies on earth won't change some
of them.
Should the lobby bill of Wisconsin
be operative. there would be all kind 5
of red, white and blue decorations
awaiting the members from the back
benches Part Of the fun is watch
ing those who make it their duty 20
hold the weight Of the world on their
shoulders, sweat while the members
adjourn and talk the matter over.
The lobbyists have been pretty active
in this matter and will be till it is set
tied. It's a case of one year or six
months. that's all there is to the
whole subject matter.

EXAMINATION
MEASURE
" OPPOSED
Is InnOncent Looking
but Brings Protest

Assembly Bill No. !, which calls
Tor an examination of all school
children at certain periods, while it
went in with no idea of general
rumpus. has occasioned the first
storm.
The members have been presented
with petitions to kill off the measure
Women have lobbied against it and
sections of the state seem to have
awakened to the fact that such law
might prove hardship on parents.
Nye County, Clark County. and in
fact most of the counties OF the state.
have taken whirl at the bill, result.
ing in the receiving of many petitions
against the problem As it will he
up for vote this week. and the gen
eral disposition seems to be against
the new tangled law. it will probably
reach the bone yard.
The contention is that we have too
many school laws and not enough
common sense on this subject The
older members Of the two branches
of the lawmakers agree that they sur
vived all the germs. school bills and
Greek societies. They therefore
would bark back to more. school
teaching and less frills.
