the picking" was better; with responsibility to no one but them
eslves, they have entered upon a saturnalia of legislation that has
frightened capital, placed unnecessary burdens upon the taxpayers
and retarded the progress and development of the state at least
ten years
Whether Justly Or not the situation in Nevada has elected unfavor-
able comment from the outside. 1t was not long ago that the Salt Lake
Herald Republican said: when requested one day last week to take
a small interest in a meritorious group of claims in Nevada, one of Salt
Lakes successful mine operators delivered himself in this manner: / am
afraid to, and I'll tell you why. Not for the reason that Nevada is not
one of the most remarkably mineraized sections in the world, for it IS
but on account of the fooEShly drastic laws which recent legislatures
have hedged about her mines and mining within her borders. The laws
are 81 numerous, SC exactng that it would usurp about all of one time
keeping track of them and literally following out their requirements.
Today it will take a Philadelphia lawyer to meet to i T all these exac-
tons, and for big concerns a couple of stenographers and a bevy OF
bookkeepers besides
1t matters little whether II not the above criticism is wholly de-
served. The fact remains that it is up to the people of Nevada to place
their law-making machinery upon a plane where criticism will not he
directed against it. 1t can be done and the investment will prove one ut
the best the grand old state of Nevada ever made.

Radical Change Announced

A radical change has just beer announced by the trustees OF
Columbia university in the engineering and mining schools OF that
great institution. Following their own words they have, with the
unanimous recommendation of the faculty OF applied sciences, deter
mined to raise the requirements of admission to the schools OF mines, OF
engineering and of chemistry, and generally to elevate and strengthen
the course of engineering and technical study, beginning July First,
1914. These schools will then become advanced or graduate schools.
After July First 1915, candidates for admission will be required to
present evidence of such preliminary general education as can ordinarily
be had only by three years study in a college of high rank. These
schools will then be strictly professional and specialized for students
who are candidates for any of the several degrees that are offered.
In a recent issue the Engineering and Mining Journal, comment
ing on the decision of the Columbia trustees, had the following to say
The trustees and faculty have felt that because of the increas-
ing seriousness OF the demands upon the engineer, young men
should come to their professional studies better trained than has
often been the case, and should be able to use at least one modern
language in addition to their own. 1t is also felt that the funda-
mental courses in mathematics, chemistry, physics and mechanics
should be taught in college, and that only after their acquisition
should the student take up in the professional school their apphca-
ton to the several branches of engineering.
The idea of requiring collegiate preparation for admission
to professional schools is not a new one, and indeed has always
been required by theological schools, and has in recent years been
a prerequisite for many of the best law schools and the best medical
schools of the country. The Thayer engineering school, at Dart
mouth college, has for many years been the only one OF that kind
requiring a first degree for admission. Harvard made the change
a year ago. Now Columbia follows in the lead OF those insttu-
tons. Neither Dartmouth nor Harvard has ever had a large num-
Der of students in its graduate school, and the financial risk, at
least insofar as Harvard is concerned, has lately been largely
eliminated by its union with the Massachusetts Institute of
Technology Columbia is the first institution to face a large fnan-
cIal deficit as the result of carrying out this plan. It's trustees and
faculty believe, however, that the time has come when the move
must be made, and they feel sure that if they succeed many other
France and Germany has for a long time been on this higher basis,
and there can be no question that the sacrifice that Columbia is now
going to make, if necessary, is fully warranted by the great educa-
tonal gain that will result

Pick Good Men For Office

1t is not too early to sound a note of warning in regard to the char
acter OF the men to be nominated for public office this year in the state
of Nevada. The primaries will be held in September and the date OF
holding them should find each county in a state of preparedness. In the
past there has been great opportunity for criticism along this line. Espe-
ciaIy does this warning apply to the makeu up of the legislature. Little.
attention has been paid to this matter by either party in years past, with
the result that men of mediocre ability, if any at all, have been delegated
to do the law-makng for the whole people. In many instances these
men have had SO little interest in the state that has honored them that
when the ghost failed to walk they forthwith shook the dust OF Nevada
from their feet.
The Tribune would urge upon the voters Of the state the necessity
OF selecting thoroughly representative men-men whose material in
terests are mportant-to send to Carson City. And it is not too early
now to begin the wedding out process. When an employer of labor Sc
lts his men he gets the best material available. Why not, then, eX-
ercise the same caution in selecting men to make the laws and handle the
affairs OF state? What applies to the selection of the Legislative person
mel applies also to county government, and here again the voters should
see to i. that these important offices are properly administered by COM
peent and honest men.
The argument cannot be offered that such men re not available.
The fact is that in no state of the union can there be found such a large
percentage of capable men, populations considered, a is available in Ne
vda. If good men are not elected to fill the various offices in this
state the ultimate blame must rest upon the people themselves. In a
recent issue the Western Nevada Miner took up the cudgels along this
line and editorialy commented as follows
For the past seven years the editor OF this paper has been
sounding the warning to the business men and taxpayers to pay
more attention to the personnel of the members of our assembly and
state senate, but no notice was taken. The business men in the
majority of cases have sat down in SNUG complacency and allowed
in many instances and especially in the mining counties of the
southern part of the state, tn. riff raft and bob-tal to drift in from
nowhere, and be elected to the assembly and senate. With no
qualifications but gall; with no fixed abiding place except beneath
the hat OF their heads; with no property to bear the burdens they
might place upon the people through their Legislative acts; with
nothing to prevent them going as they came, empty handed TO where
