A Million Dollar State Government

The population of the State of Nevada is in round figures about
10000, which in many States would be considered as a city of
moderate size, and yet it is claimed the cost of State Government
is averaging about a million dollars per year. This includes the
funds derived from the State for school purposes.
1t s a large sum of money, entirely too much for the services
rendered to a small population. A commission form of Govern
ment, if properly conducted. would reduce the cost to the taxpayers
at least 80 per cent and give far more efficient service. The COM
mission form of Government has been tried with marked success in
many cities and towns, but so far it has not been tried by any of the
States.
One advantage of a commission form is that all offices are con-
Quoted strictly on a business basis, while under the present form
there is always more or less graft of a petty nature which in the
course of time runs into large figures. 1t is said that the offices at
Carson City are full Of idle clerks and that the wives of many State
officials n II on the payrolls for which they render very little, if
any, service in return. This is a species of graft that has been in
vogue for many years. The last Legislature attempted to investi-
gate running expenses of the State and made a report setting out
many unpleasant facts, but nothing further was done about it, and
nothing really accomplished. The Legislature adjourned and then
the matter dropped out of sight, and will not be heard of again I'M
til the Legislature meets next year. The old adage ga public of
flee is a private snap seems to apply very aptly to several State of
fees.
A commission form of Government would do away with the
spolls system and inefficient service, both in State and county af
fairs and would prove a. tremendous saving to taxpayers-Ely

Texas Prospectors Must Pay

Texas has modified its mining law,
a recent enactment of the Legisla-
ture providing that the Land Com
mission may issue a permit for pros
pecting for mineral to any applicant
upon the payment of 10 cents per
acre for the land upon which he in
tends to prospect. When minerals
in paying quantities are found, the
applicant has the right to lease the
land for a period of ten years. Each
applicant is restricted to 1880 acres,
bat when such land is situated with
in 10 miles of any producing mine OF
a we'll of oil or gas. the number of
acres that may be awarded is restrict
ed to 200.

Elko Free Press: Justice in Elko
County, owing to weakened juries,
is a joke; nay, it comes nearer being
a tragedy. Criminals elsewhere
make Elko County a jest and a by
word. They say if they only get be-
fore an Elko County jury they will
get off scot free no matter how guilty
they may be. When they face GER
tain conviction in other counties they
ask for a change of venue and desig-
nate Elko County as the one in which
to have the case tried. Henceforth
let justice be done and the guilty
convicted, the innocent acquitted;
but no more of this silly sympathy
such as has disgraced US for some
years back. Crime must be sup
pressed and the guilty offenders Sc
verely punished. The public a rely
on the officials doing their duty. The
whole responsibility lies with the
men who sit on juries. The law must
be enforced.

The situation in Mexico is near the
danger point. The execution OF
William S. Benton, a British subject,
by General Villa. is causing a good
deal of rash talk throughout the
country, especially along the border.
While Villa claims that Benton tried
to kill him and that he was turned
over to a court martial and regular
ly convicted and executed, Benton's
friends claim that he was cruelty
murdered. The whole matteris being
thoroughly investigated by our Gov
eminent and the facts, so far as they
can be ascertained, will soon be in
possession of the State Department.

SENATORS QUIZ BRYAN
ON MEXICAN SITUATION
Foreign Relations Committee is
Dissatisfied With Meager In
formation Supplied

Washington, February25.-Befor
the Senate Committee on Foreign
Relations to-day Secretary Bryan adj
mitted that Villa, the rebel chieftain
had defied the United States and
Great Britain.
He related such facts as he thought
the committee should know relative
to the killing of William S. Benton,
the British subject. and recited the
dispatches that had been received,
in which Villa had agreed to permit
one representative of this Govern
ment to examine the body when it
was exhumed, at the pleasure of
Villa himself.
Bryan said he had demanded that
an army surgeon be permitted to ex-
anime the body, but that no reply
had been received to hat demand.
Summoned By Committee
Secretary Bryan appeared before
the committee, at its request, to dis
cuss the Mexican situation, but the
facts he submitted related almost
entirely to the killing of Benton.
He was asked numerous questions,
which he answered in general terms,
but did not go into detail with re-
gard to any of the matters brought
up.
When asked how many Americans
had been killed during the revolution
in Mexico, Bryan said he did not
know.
One member of the committee
afterward stated that the committee
sometime ago had been advised that
during the last three years 18O
Americans have been killed in Mexi-
co by one side or the other.
At the conclusion of the session ii
was said that the committee would
take no further action until an Off
cial reporthad been received as to
the name of killing Benton.
Explosion Is Imminent
when the blow-off in the Senate
does come" said one prominent Sem
ator. after he had been advised that
the committee had decided that ac-
ton should not be taken now on any
of the pending resolutions, cit will
come with such an explosion that the
whole country will be startled"
Secretary Bryan told the committee
that the present policy of the Admin
istration was receiving the support of
European governments, and referred
to the speech of Sir Edward Grey in
the British House of Commons as an
indication that the policy of this Gov
eminent was satisfactory.
The visit of the Secretary of State,
instead of relieving the tension of
the situation in the Senate, has in
creased it.

NOTED SILVER LEADER DEAD

Denver, Colorado, February 3D.
Henry Moore Teller, former cabinet
officer and for more that 80 years
United States Senator from Colora-
do, died here yesterday at the home
of his daughter, Mrs. G. E. Tyler.
For two years Senator Teller had
been in poor health, experiencing
sinking spells, from which he rallied.
Two weeks ago, however, his condi-
ton became critical and his death
was momentarily expected.
Senator Teller's reputation be-
came nationwide when he made his
famous speech in debate in Congress
upon the repeal of the Sherman law,
which provided for the demonitiza-
ton of silver. Then, in course of
one of the most sensational speeches
ever delivered in the Senate cham
Der, Senator Teller made his famous
statement known as the sensation
of the Senate" He said:
Il say it in calm and cool deliber-
alton, weighing well my words, that
if the Republican party stands for
the gold standard, the four silver
producing States will not hereafter
be able to act in cooperation with
this (the United States) or any other
body"
Was A Leader
In the councils of the Republican
party, and subsequent to 1896 in the
Democratic party, Senator Teller
was a power. He bolted the Repub-
lican party in the convention in st.
Louis in 1890, after the gold stand
ard plank had been adopted. His
actions in that convention won such
respect for him In Colorado that not
withstanding his remuneration of the
Republican party, he was reelected
to the United States Senate, where
he continued his work as one of the
leaders of that body until March a.
Senator Teller was born in New
York State in 1880.
