the press dispatches that the secre-
tary OF the treasury states that all of
the regional banks will be in full op-

people OF the country on the 10th day

what that means to the people

will enable the copper miners to con-
dnue mining-to store their copper
and wait for market--because the
government banks will accept such
securities for re-discount or for the is
sue of federal legal tender treasury
notes, It menas that the farmer can
hold his surplus crop until market
is made, because agricultural prod
ucts are declared to be good security
or loans and the government will
-re-dfscount such loans, or issue leg
al tender treasury notes against the
same. 1t means. that the cattle man.
the sheep grower and the rancher
may hold his cattle, sheep and horses
for market, because notes secured
by such products are acceptable at
government banks for re-discount, or
for the same leal tender treasury
notes. 1t means that the gold and
silver mines OF this state can hold
their bullion until market can be
reached and fair price received for
their products because such bullion
will be recognized as sufficient Sc
curity for the re-discount of loans up
on the same; or the issuing of legal
tender currency. 1t means that all
kinds of business can obtain credit at
low rates of intersest and the demand
for our products will increase. Was

his home at Carson City. Mr.. Roberts
is looking In fine trim and his legis-
latiye duties seem to agree with him.
He was in fine humor and did not
murder the Independent reporter
when he approached him but was per-
fectly willing to give out an inter
view. When asked about the Right-of
way Bill which so many people in this
state ARE interested, he| stated that
the bill had been given his best efforts
and that he with Senators Newlands
and Pittman had worked continually
for the hill. He stated that he had
had Il promise from the chairman of
the COMMITTEES on Government Lands
to get the bin reported favorably and
he was greatly disappointed that the
bill had been held up for the last two
or three months. He stated that he
thought the bill would ultimately pass
the house but he believed that It
would not have passed had 1t been
reported at this time as the House
was anxious to adjourn and were not

Mr.. Chairman. Ladies and Gentle
mem:
This Is the first opportunity have
had of expressing to the people OF
Elko county my sincere appreciation
OF the confidence that they reposed
In me during the last campaign, as
expressed by the overwhelming ma
jority that received. It is not my
purpose to discuss at this time my
efforts on behalf of Nevada, as the
work that has been allotted me re-
Quires that / devote my entire time
to the discussion of national issues.
but you will pardon me for saying
that have done everything in my
power.
Let me confess to you that a new
Senator is faced with many difficult
ties that he never imagines when he
is making pledges to his constituents; :;
in fact, new Senator is generally
impressed with his own Importance
more than anyone else. AS a matter
of fact, i am afraid that I was in
Washington some months, before
many people realized that was a
United States Senator My friend,
Senator John Sharpe Williams, of
Mississippi, the state where / was
born. took pleasure in telling me that
/ looked less like a United States
Senator than any man in the Senate,
except Senator Lane, OF Oregon
Shortly after arrived in Washing
ton, I discovered that the elevator in
the senate office building was partic-
ularly for the use of the Senators, and
that If a Senator and one who was not
a Senator got on the elevator, the
Senator had the right of way, and the
other man had to wait until the Sena-
tor was served. got on the elevator

{ you that have not given the situation

should have been passed In the last
two years. but when you understand
the situation, and realize that il was
proper that local measures should
give way to those great national mea.

years you viii then be able to con-

You will remember that the demo-

troll of the government for over .twen-
ty years until the last election. Dur
ing the brief time that the democratic
party has been in power It has done
more, and accomplished the enact

THIEVES FAIL TO GET
DIXON'S MONEY

Another robbery took place in Elko
last night and as yet no clue has been
found as to the identity OF the per-
petrator of the deed However in.
this case the robbers failed to secure
anything from their intended victim.
The robbery took place at the home
of Pete Dixon, who lives in cabin.
rented from Eugene Cipriano, across
the Western Pacific tracks. In some
way the thieves. got wind that Dixon
had a stake hid in mis- house some
where, and last night while he was
at thespicture show, they went to his
house and instituted search for the
supposed money. However. Dixon
had the money hid in another place,
SO after taking an ak belonging TO
Dixon and chopping open the trunk
and throwing the contents all over
the house, the thieves were forced to
depart without securing any money.
The officers were notified at once but
a close search failed to disclose any
clue.
