BISHOP FOR STATE OF
NEVADA 81 AAEn

A welcome bit Of news that comes
to US at this time Is the intention
of the Catholic church to place a
bishop In this state. says the Sparks
Tribune. Nevada has grown to such
proportions that 1t is necessary to
have a high dignitary in the state. The
probable domicile OF the bishop will
be Reno, but his jurisdiction will prob
ably be co-extensive with the bound
aries OF the state.
The great distances between par
ishes has made It rather hard for
the priests in the various places to
cover all of the territory allotted to
them.
One of the significant features Of
the proposed appointment is the
growth of the state. For with the
growth of the state the growth OF
religion is always observed.

ONE WAY TO GET WATER

Walter +. Reid. the scientist who in.
vented smokeless powder. has led an
adventurous life in many lands. His
invention of smokeless powder was u
result Of his experiences among the
red Indians, when he relied on his
rifle for food. On one occasion Mr..
Reid was dying of thirst in the pam.
pas of the Argentine. In his extremity
he noticed his horse during the night
licking the dew off the vegetation.
Then he had an inspiration. He drag
ged his shirt over the grass until it
was saturated. and then squeezed it
out. He worked in this way for hours,
and in the morning there was enough
water to save the lives of both man
and horse.-London Standard.

COUNTY OFFICERS SHOULD BE ON
SALARY BASIS.

Hon. Joe b. Baird, one Of SunfIower county's
most PROSPEROUS and substantial planters and bank,
trs, spent last Saturday here on business. Mr.. Bard
is one among the many who want a reduction IN
county expenses and favors putting all county OIL
GERS on a salorv basis. This sentiment seems to be
growing in all sections of the state and we look for
the next legislature to enact a law a%bollShlng the
fee system and adopting a salary payment instead
-IndanvIa Enterprise.
MIR. Baird is eminently correct in advo-
eating the passage Of a law putting all
county officials on a salary basis. The COM
mission basis foots up the enormous sum of
between twelve and twenty-five thousand
dollars a year for some Of the county tax
collectors in Mississippi, and the indications
are that the next Legislature will place all
county officials upon a reasonable salary
basis. The slogan everywhere is for a re-
duction in expenses along all lines.

TAXPAYER MAKES SOME
MORE SUGGESTIONS.

Mr.. Editor:
On next Monday we have the
election to vote on the salaries of
our City Commissioners, and |
hope that all the taxpayers will
come out and y0t" as they think
is right without prejudice or per
SonaI feeling influencing them in
any way.
have the highest regard for
them all, and voted for most Of
them, and | feel that | have a
right to criticisc their official acts
even more than | would had
voted for none Of them,
| am sure that all these men
are perfectly honest, and want
to do what in their judgment is
right, but at the same time know
that they are also, like all other
men, liable to make mistakes, and
in this matter Of their own sala-
rjeS | think they are very much
mistaken.
Again using our sister city Of
CIarksdale as a comparison, the
census of 1910 gave us about the
same population, and | am safe in
saying think that since then she
has gained fully as much as we
have and they are paying for the
same work that we pay $500 on
Iy $4,000, and require 2 hours
each day from each Of their COM
misSioners, and our City, County
and LeVee Taxes are about 60
mills, and theirs, SO | am informed,
only 35 mills, Is not there some
reason why we should pay, at
least no more salary than they
pay?
am aware that it takes money
to get good business men, and it
seems that we cannot get them
without money, (and then we do
not always get them); but grant
ing that these are the very best
men we can get, the people were
under the impression in voting for
them that salaries would not be
increased, but decreased.
| am sure they must have I'M
derstood that the Taxpayers
expected them to serve one or
two years, at least, for small Sala,
ries until we could get the city
affairs in better shape, and il
at that time they had shown
themselves valuable men they
could ask for and get better sal
aries.
believe that these men are
financially able to give the city
some of their time, and the Mayor
should certainly be willing &c
work for the salary he has beer
getting for the past two years
when he has given all of his time
to the city,
shall abide by the decision o.
this election, and do all that | car
to help the officials in performing
their several duties, it matters no
what may be the result-and
am sure that all others will dc
the same thing.
We have a very high tax rate
(and | am sure that none have
higher light and water rates.. Al
these things can be reduced, anc
the Commissioners should give
them their careful attention.

Henry L. Stimson Explains Why He
Favors It--Says 1t Puts Respon-
sibility on Lawmakers

Henry L, Stimson, chairman of the
Convention recently adjourned. and one
OF the most active advocates of financial
REFORM for city and State administration,
gave he Advisory Council OF Real Es-
tate Interests his reasons for favoring
the adoption OF the proposed amend
ments to the State Constitution.
In the frs, pace" Mr.. Stimson said.
Il approved the amendments because
their central principle Is toward the devel-
opinent Of responsible government. This.
In my opinion. marks an epoch making
change. The new constitution does not
follow the easy path of demagogues with
suggestions of rev forms OF government
and otaer attempts 10 crafty the sup
posed desire OF the people TO take
things INTO their own hands directly
but OF the contrary 1t attempts to intro-
duce into our Government the we'll rec
oEnized. commonplace principles which
in the sphere ~ business are known to
make for economy and efficiency.
instead OF scattering power and Ip-
spons.b!lity II weeks 10 concentrate. /
believe this method is the only true 500
luton for an effective government in a
republic, History shows that repub-
lies break down through e~xtravagance
and We have been running that path too
fast. II u Government is to continue
II must be made more efficient and
more economical.
Secondly. the principal measure,
upon which I lay stress are, first of all
the executive budget. This proposes tc
introduce into our State government thu
principle Of financial legislation which
has been adopted in all other civilized
countries az we'll as in our successful
American business corporations. TIL,
only astonishing thing about II is tina
1t has never yet been introduced into
an American government, either STATE
or national. The ~soundness Of thi,
principle Is acknowledged everywher,
else,
Under the proposed budget. upon tn,
Governor is imposed the duty and re,
sponsibllity OF preparing II fnancia
