New Power Vehicle

The latest addition to the family
of motor driven vehicles is the
autoped, a picture of which is pub
lished in the August Popular Mechan-
les Magazine. This machine has the
carrying platform below the wheel
axles, and is designed to be ridden
while standing upright on n or
both feet. the control being in the
steering pillar. The engine, 2 l-2
hp., is built in the front wheel, and
the steering pillar is hollow, serving
also as the gasoline-supply tank. The
working parts are entirely inclosed,
making them dust proof, and there
are no pedals or cranks about the
machine, which will maintain, so the
inventor claims, an average speed OF
20 miles per hour over country roads,
with a consumption of gasoline of
but / gal. to the hundred miles.

STATES CAMPAIGN ISSUES
Wingfeld Pointedly Deals With
the Tax Commission, Primary
Law and Other Issues

AT a recent meeting of the Washoe
County Republican Club in Reno,
George Wingfeld made an informal
address in which he discussed the
Nevada Tax Commission as an issue
of the present campaign. which he
said might be raised by INSCRIPTIONS
demagogues in an altogether false
light and not in accordance with the
facts. The Reno Gazette quotes his
remarks as follows:
"This(referring to his candidacy for
the State Senate) is quite unexpect-
ed, or was yesterday" he said. 1T
was my intention to keep out of pol
itics, but some n must take an in
terest and play the game. Herb
Humphrey had suggested Mr.. Mof-
fat for Lieutenant Governor and it
came as a surprise to me when, in
San Francisco. | was shown a tele-
gram saying that Humphrey had de-
clared himself for Lieutenant-Go
ernor. l consider it great good for
tune that he will run for the office.
They came to me suggesting that
| run for the State Senate, and | re-
fused, but they said some one had to
do it. My time,' l said, is worth
$4,000 or 5000 a month to me.
and | can't afford it. But they
came to me again and said l had to
go, and | said, Let 'er Co. and I'm
going right down the line.
II have a black book, full of infor-
nation, and if | go up to the Senate,
| will know where to cut out a few
unnecessaries. The day of the DEM
agogue and ~hypocrite is passed. They
have begun to say, The big men of
the State r getting together to
grind out the lives of the little fell
lows Those statements are the
work of the demagogue. They say
that we will oppose the Tax Commits
sion. The hypocrite and the dema-
gogue say that, too. | was one of
the three who framed the plan for
the Tax Commission. Newlands,
Oddie and myself worked it out.
They say the cattlemen are trying to
get off easier. Right in the meeting
at Elko, Herb Humphrey got up,
when they asked what taxation fig
ure the cattlemen thought was right,
and he said he would be willing to be
taxed $35 a head for his cattle. Did
the commissioners accept his figure?
No. They yer catering to the
little fellows and they we're afraid
they would lose their jobs. They
put the cattle assessment at $50
a head.
81 am in favor of the Tax Commits
sion, but the method of work needs
to be reformed. There should be a
commission of five men with the
work of various departments divided
among them. They should have ex-
pert help and ought to have about
half the appropriation now allotted.
A different method would put a bur-
den of responsibility on somebody.
where now it rests on nobody. But
we will never get it by the political
game unless those who pay the bills
take hold.
Cut Out Politicians
I'VE have bitten a. all the new
things and it is time to begin elm
mating some of those which are un-
successful. The primary law is a
farce. We see it in Washoe County
to-day. Each party boosts for the
weak man in the opposing party and
nobody takes any responsibility for
candidates. We have been practic-
ing things not practicable and gov

NEVADA WOMEN WANT THE VOTE

These reasons" and arguments
raised against women suffrage are IL
logical and beside the mark. So far
as the situation in Nevada goes, fifty
times more women are organized for
suffrage than against it, and in a re-
cent thorough canvass of the country
districts of Humboldt County the SEN
timent for political equality among
the women has been found to be over
whelming. as has been support on the
part of the men. Only one woman
interviewed declared herself opposed,
but added that women ought to
vote for school elections. because the
welfare of children was involved. and
that was woman's business"
The vote will be won for the
women of Nevada as inevitably as
to-morrow's sun will rise. Truth
is mighty and will prevail" not only
in our own State, but all over Amer
lea and the world.
