LANDLORDS AND TENANTS

Since becoming a reader of your valuable paper I have read all the discussion with interest: Duty of tenant, duty of landlord, and their relations. Having had some experience along these lines feel inclined to join the discus sion.
 l own no acres of land. with 50 acres in cultivation. work all this myself in corn, oats, cow peas and cotton. 1 have no ten ants. My neighbors on each side havetenants and while saw wood and say nothing 1 hear both com plaints. And my impartial decis- ion is that it is the same old story that generally exists with all the farmers, lack of cooperation.
 We are all so afraid of doing something tha. will benefit our neighbor that we actually fail in olr own behalf.
 This winter while breaking my land with a ten inch blow as deep as three horses could pull, a ten ant neighbOr came in the fild and strongly emphasized the work as being "the thing.
 As thls tenant worked the same land last year and laid his crop by so that at gathering time there appeared to be at least a ton of crab grass:to the acre. I told him l thought he would at least make the rent over and above by turn ing under all this grass during the winter. This he said he could not afford, being a renter; that he had rather burn off and break lnithe Spring and save two break ings.1 ITO this 1 replied that it would only be only necessary to disk instead of break twice own- CT furnishes him disk. This he also claimed he could not afford, as he would bej.improving the land for the owner. This man, with numbers of others has not done days. work this winter.
 This is. very much the policy of all the tenants!I have ever known. If they break lpane from the window they call for the owner to put: in ..another. Allow the ditchlthatsdrains the lot to fill up

and notify the owner that they can hardly get in their lot on &C., count of mud. Is Fit any wonder such people are renters? This same lack of cooperation and stupidity is characteristic of a vast majority of the landowners and is the most damaging exam pie and the greatest obstruction to progress in our Dixie Land. Is it any wonder the tenant is so trifling? In sthe general sum ming up of the subject one is about the equal of the other, and all affected with the same old dis ease. growl, growl and do noth- ing.

SOY. CRUCE AGAINST EXECUTION

Declaring that 1t is against the laws of God and in open viollt of the commandment Thou shalt not kill" Governor Cruce of Oklahoma in committing the death sentence to life imprison- ment few days past announced that While he was governor of Oklahoma there would be no eX- eXecutiods. In t h i s Governor Cruce has taken a stand that will
 without question meet the ap-
 prOval of every Christian in the entire country. He has taken a step which doubtless many other state executives have felt that they should take, but 1t was q new step and they hesitated.
 Governor Cruce truthfully points out in his statement that to take mans life for some violation of the laws is a relic of Darbarism. us something no man has a light to do, and when 1t is done the fact can not be changed that murder has been committed. and It seems that legalized murder is equally as illegal murder, for under such condition the step is taken without passion, or any cause other than that the law has been violated. We of the twent- ieth century should be above the customs followed!a few centuries ago; civilized people have no rlsht to take lives of. f.their.fellow men merely because they violat- eo some mans laws. True, ',oiatorsiot laws must be punish ed' If they were not we would soon have a condition of outlaw y and life and property would never be safe, but there are ways VI punlshlng men without,taking 'leir hVes.

Official Paper
SATURDAY, APRIL 4, 1914.

u appears that one of the first ian. elDIe results of the Henry Ford proh sharng plan has been a decided boom to the marriage market of De. uoH' SeVenty-five of his employees nave been married since the announce. ment of the plan. The Marriage Lii. cense Clerk. who appears to be a bit 0: philosopher, says:
 have talked with a good many of them While making out their licenses. They were all tickled over their good fortune. Most of them, believe. have been engaged for quite a while, try ing to save up enough money to give them start, and finding it hard task. But now, with living wages as. sured them as long as they behave themselves and are industrious, they feel that they can take a wife"
 This is precisely the result that MT. Ford hoped would follow the announ- cement of his plan. He believed that assurance of increased pay and per manence of employment would en- courage men to take up the responsi. ilities of family life, as well as en. courage those who already had these responsibilities. In conversation he emphasized the fact that it was the family rather than the individual lit planed to aid. Because working Wtmen, as a rule, had no families tc support he omitted women from his plan. but in response to a direct ques- ticn said that if he found a woman ir his employ supporting dependent re- latives she would be granted the same advantages as the men. Furthermore i' man drawing his share of the profits should be found neglecting his family obligations, his bonus, if not his employment would cease.
 But it is a curious fact that ma .jority of the public comments on his plan have. been unfavorable, hyper critical or expressing doubt of It's sue cess. Even the letters printed in the newspapers seem to have been written ly people more concerned to conjure .up some reason why so vast bene- faction would prove futile or harmful than to hail it as an evidence of a sincere purpose to do a glorious good deed.
 Has the hard economic struggle oi modern life deadened the pprecia- ton of benevolencc in mems minds Is 1t the new mental attitude of the people that great and good deed shall be greeted with sheer and the pro- phecy that only evil will come from it ?
 That seems to have been the spirit n which a great section of the press received the Ford announcement. We

Justice Court Busy This Week.

The case of the Mason Valley I'm
plement Co. against G. E. Leavitt
occupied the Justice Court of Yering-
ton and jury of twelve during Mon
day, Tuesday and Wednesday of this
week The dispute was over wagon
valued at 500, which was claimed by
both parties. With the exception OF
less than an hour used by the defend
ant the time was occupied by plaintiff
who received verdict for possession
of the wagon. The plaintiffs costs
amounted to something like 500. The
jury was demanded by plaintiff. The
case will be appealed to the District
Court by defendant. If the case could
have ben tried originally in the Dis
trict Court it would have taken much
less time and the expense would not
have been so great. Courts of Justice
OF the Peace are supposed to be for
the poor man, but, like the cost of liv-
ing, the price, judging from the items
mentioned, must have increased.

COMMERCIAL CLUB DIRECT.
ORS HOLD MEETING.
Matters of Interest Taken Up and
Meeting Arranged for Wellington.

The Directors of the Lyon County
Commercial Club met in Yerington on
Monday night of this week. There
were present G. F. Willis, President;
F. J. Sullivan, E. 0. Kamm, Geo. w.
Friedhof, R. L. Waggoner, M. J.
King, M. R. Penrose, G. F. West, N.
F. Bertrand and c. j. Guild.
The special committee appointed to
make arrangements for a Get To-
gether" meeting at Wellington report
ed that the evening of March % would
be suitable date for the occasion.
1t was decided to fix this date for the
Wellington meeting and the commit
tee was instructed to go ahead with
the arrangements. All club members
are expected to attend, and the ,,ahlc
generally, is invited to be- present on
this occasion.
The attention of the Club hav,ng
been called to the fact that tine old
Wellington wagon road couli lie put
in fairly good shape at a small cost of
few days work, M. J. King was ap-
pointed committee of one to take the
matter up with Commissioner Barlow.
After some discussion relative to the
prizes to be paid by the Club for e<
hibits at the County and State Fairs
this fall, the matter of asoertaining
the amounts of prizes to be offered by
the Club and the other preliminary
arrangements were upon motion re
ferred to the Ways and Means Com
mittee
The Railways and rransportat;ol
Committee reported tina. there was a
movement on foot for better service
between Mason Valley points and the
main line of travel into Reno. and that
the Southern Pacific Company would
in all probability soon make 4 better
schedule for the travelling public from
Mason Valley to Reno.
After a lengthy discussion upon the
Good Roads" question, as to whicher
or not the Club was in favor Of ,pnd
ing the county for good roads, it
seemed to be the general opinion of
the members that the plan now being
followed by the County Commission
ers was one worthy of consideration:
wherein the county was willing 70
pay for labor il the various farmers
would furnish teams to fix the roads
in each respective farm district, an1
that the Club was not at this time in
favor of bonding the county for road
building purposes, at least, until the
plan of the Commissioners had beer
tried out to some extent.
There being no further business the
meeting adjourned to Monday even.

Cemetery Work to be Done.

Next Monday has been fixed as the
day for doing some general work at
the West Mount Slope Cemetery, in
the way of improvement, etc. The
main object will be to arrange for get
ting water to the cemetery grounds
so that trees, shrubbery and flowers
may be grown on the plots. If you
and your neighbors will be on hand
next Monday, prepared to do your
share on the job, it will be shown how
easily the cemetery, which is now
nearly as bleak as desert, can be
made beautiful garden spot, pleas
ant place to visit, and qualification to
those who have dear, departed ones
resting there. The High Ditch CON-
pany has given permission to take
water from its ditch, trees have been
donated, and the day will be in the
nature of an arbor day. Don't stop
to make inquiries-don't say it can
not be done. The matter has been
sufficiently investigated to know that
it can. A ditch line has been surveyed
and the necessary preliminary steps
taken. Get to the cemetery early next
Monday and do your share. The mat
ter is in the hands of the West Mount
Slope Cemetery Association which is
being assisted by the Lyon County
Commercial Club.
