RULES ON CLAIMS
IN BUILDING CONTRACTS
Appellate Court Reverses Supreme
Court Finding in Hazen-Latimer
Company Case.

A subcontractor may not enforce a
claim against the owner of the prop
erty or against the surety of an alb
sconding contractor with whom the
owner had settled in full before that
contractors departure when the surety
company completes the building. ac-
cording to an opinion of the District
Court of Appeals yesterday rendered
by Mr.. Justice Van Orsdel. The appel
late court reverses the finding of the
District Supreme Court in awarding a
lien of $1.016 in favor of the Hazen
Latimer Company against Mahlon A.
and the Fidelity and Deposit Company
of Maryland, surety of missing con-
tractor.
Upon the abandonment of the con-
tract" says the court, the surety was
called upon by the owner not to make
good any loss sustained by the failure
of the contractor. but to step in and
protest the completion of the building
under the contract. When the surety
elected to assume the completion of
the work. as it had the right to do. it
did not assume anything back Of the
first payment For its own protection
and not because of any fictitious rela-
ton to the contractor It assumed to
take the work where the contractor
left 1t on the owners hands. and to
complete 1t as it had assured the own
er it would be completed by the con-
tractor.
Has Right Of Protection.
THE owner is entitled to equal pro-
lection with the subcontractor. The
should acquaint himself
with the terms and conditions Of the
building contract In the absence of
to the contrary. we must as
sumo that plaintiff possessed this in
formation If it knew when the next
payment would be made to the con-
tractor after 1t completed the work it
must be presumed to know the condi-
ton of the statute which expressly
gave it a lien only against money ow-
ing the principal contractor at the time
of notice of its claim to the owner.
1t could have given the owner notice
the day it completed the work. 1t can
not shift its neglect onto the shoulders
of either the owner or the surety.
In conclusion the court points out
that its construction in the absence of
fraud or collision. can work no hard
ship upon the subcontractors or ma
terial men. but only imposes prompt
ness in asserting their claims If the
plaintiffs contention were sustained
the court suggests. great hardship
might be experienced by both owner
and Syretv

A USELESS Law

One of the most useless laws
that ever encountered the statutes of
Nevada is the direct primary act.
While there is not a single good pur-
pose the law can accomplish, it has
numerous bad effects.
In the first place, its sponsors
claimed for it that it would give ev-
cry man a show to run for Office and
take the nominating power out of the
hands of a few politicians and place
it where it belongs, under control of
the people. No statement could be
more fallacious. While poor men were
frequently nominated for Office, under
the old system, under the direct pri-
mary that class Of citizens have no
chance whatever to secure a nomina-
ton or a state or congressional nomi-
nation, for if they can afford to pay
the tremendous expense incident to
the primary they are not poor men.
Another Objectionable feature to
the present law is that owing to the
fact that ordinary men do not care
to take the initiative and declare
themselves candidates for Office
months in advance of the election, we
are deprived of the opportunity of
voting for our best citizens for office.
But above all other objections,
stands out the fact that the campaign
starts in the middle of the summer
and Lasts until November. Men who
framed the constitutions provided
that elections shall be held in the fall
of the year, after the farmers have
gathered their crops and nave time to
devote to the matter. Under the old
convention system, state campaigns
usually lasted for six weeks and coun-
ty for two weeks. Under the pri-
mary law, all campaigns start any
where from June Is to August Is,
with the result that should there be
an exciting contest for one or more
nominations, the state is kept in an
uproar for three or -four months.
The next legislature can perform
no more valuable service for the peo-
pie of the state than by repeating the
direct primary law.
