DOUGLAS TEAMS
DEFEAT DAYTON
Local Teams Were Too Fast For
Visitors and Won With
Comparative Ease

The boys and girls basketball
teams of the Douglas County High
School won decisive victories from
the Dayton High School teams in
games played here last Saturday
night The former won by score of
5l-16 while the girls took the honors
by a score of 23-S.
The girls were first to take the
floor and throughout the entire game
Douglas had the best of the argument.
Aletha Nielsen did some good shoot
ing" which was made possible by the
splendid support of the members of
her team. In fact all the girls show
ed Improvement from the game of the
week before, evidencing continued
practice and good coaching. The
Dayton girls took their defeat good
naturedly.
Theb oys played good game at
all times and We're there with fast
and snappy team work. The visitors
We're good match for our boys dur
ing the first half of the game, the
score being L to 10 in favor of the
latter. In the second half Douglas
dispensed their reserve energy and
got into the game with both feet
and when the whistle announced that
time was up the score stood 5l-16 in
their favor.
The high school girls had little
feed prepared for the visitors. after
which dancing was indulged in until
II o'clock.

BILL To ALLOW
EASY DIVORCE

Three bills which are deemed eN-
tremely important, have been intro
duced in the Nevada legislature dur
ing the week The Washoe delegation
has introduced measure, which, if
it become a law, will again make Ne
yada mecca for aching hearts. The
bill calls for a six months residence
and is practically "a duplicate of the
divorce law, prior TO the change in
1913.
The second measure calls for
modification of the gambling law, al
lowing horse racing and betting under
the Paris mutual system. 1t is also
understood that several amendments
will be tackled to this bill as it pro-
ceeds through the law factory and
when it emerges it will allow poker
and other card games not of the per-
centage order.
The third important measure was
introduced in the assembly and calls
for the abolishment of the state tax
commission This bill has many ad-
herents in both houses and while
many OF the representatives do not
exactly favor killing the commission
entirely, they would like to see the
board trimmed OF its unlimited author
ity, which would be practically the
same thing.
The Washoe delegation is there to
work for the restoration OF the easy
divorce law and will no dougt lend
its support TO legalizing gambling in
certain respects, while many of the
senators and assemblymen for the
agricultural counties are aVowed
enemies OF the tax commission. One
h8..d will help the other and these
three measures. with amendments, are
sure to reach the Governors desk for
his signature. He is in favor of the
tax commission but has not express
ed himself on the other questions.
Things are sure to grow exciting "a
round the capitol as time goes by

SALARY QUESTION
WAS DISCUSSED
COMMITTEE APPOINTED
TO TAKE UP NATTER
Will Report at a Meeting to be
BE Held i'm Gardnerville
Tomorrow

Last Saturday about twenty-five of
the leading taxpayers of this county.
together with the legislative repre-
sentatiyes met at Minden to discuss
he advisability of placing the county
officials on salary instead of the pres
ent fee system. II. f. Daneberg was
chosen as chairman while George
Hussman was selected as secretary.
The chairman stated the purpose of
the meeting and asked those present
to express their views.
II. II. Springmeyer explained how
the fee system was adopted in 1887,
at which time he and f. Heise repre-
sented this county in the legislature
lie expressed himself as in being in
favor of continuing under the present
system. He was followed by others
and finally the county officials were
asked to give their views. H. e. Jep-
sen, county clerk and treasurer. said
that it would be more satisfactory if
~ NhH IiAiA'h oii a Ndidi hHfI bs
the clerks fees come from court mat
ters and since there is very little of
that doing in this county his compen-
sation was not as great as that re-
received by clerks in counties the
size of Douglas. He stated that his
compensation for 1913. 1914 averaged
something like sl5o0 per year and
since the office was one of great re-
sponsibility and called for more
work than any other ocice in the
county he believed that $4,000 per an
mum would be fair compensation
Fred klotz. recorder and auditor,
was not present but j. l.. Campbell
was authorized To speak for him.
This Office, under the fee system. pays
about $500 per year and should he be
placed on a salary he believes that IL
should be slSeo per year.
District Attorney r. T. Brockliss
said that his salary was s75 per month
with fee for every conviction in the
district court. Since his work calls
him to the various townships during
trials in the Justice court neeessitat-
ing travelling expenses he believed
that Sl00 per month would be about
the right salary
A. Arrild. sheriff and assessor was
the next to be called on and he stat
ed that his Office paid about the same
as the recorder and auditors. He be-
lieved that the office was worth $4,000
with the services of deputy or S2150
a year and he furnish the deputy.
Justice of the Peace Krummes was
given chance to express his views
and he expressed himself as being
willing to 80 on salary of So per
month. Constable Ramsay did not
fix the price he thought his office was
worth.
by motion a committee of five was
appointed TO investigate the various
phases of the different offices and re-
port at meeting to be held in Gard
