much valuable publicity. Their frantic
efforts to prove that deficit in the
state treasury is due to the loss Of
liquor revenue has called forth from
loyal citizens Of the little mountain
state" strong testimonials on the sub
ject. In the light of the moral, social
and economic benefits derived from
the prohibitory law, testified to by
men of every class, deficiency of a
few thousand dollars seems of COM
parat.vely little Importance.
AS matter of fact the loss Of the
100000 a year in revenue to West
Virginia as a result of the adoption of
the constitutional prohibition amend
ment does not impose upon the indi-
vidual taxpayer any burden worth con-
sidering. In a letter written by the
state auditor, which has recently been
made public, he shows that five cents
additional state taxes on the hundred
dollar valuation will take care of the
money loss on liquor licenses. This
would cost a man whose property was
assessed at $1,000, fifty cents; IL he
has $4,000 worth. he would have to
pay one dollar, and if he had $4,000,
he would be obliged to expend five
dollars. So much for the enormous
load of taxation being thrust upon the
property owners of the state because
of prohibition! The payment of such
insignificant amounts would certainly
appeal to level-headed business mar
as a mighty good investment.

BIG ATTENDANCE
AT UNIVERSITY

When the University of Nevada
opens on August 80, the indications
are that it will begin its most pros
porous year Applications for admis-
sion have been received universally
from the high schools of the State,
and where last year there were two
freshmen from a community, this year
there have been applications from
twelve, and in many cases the entire
graduating classes from the local high
schools are entering the University
this fall
The best place to educate the young
men and women of State is in the
University of that State. All the more
progressive States are finding this out
and the tendency of the universities is
to shape their courses so as to respond
to the particular educational needs of
their people in the highest possible
degree.
This is essentially true in Nevada
from what they are in all other States.
The graduates of other universities,
coming to Nevada, find themselves in
many respects far less fitted to cope
with the professional, industrial and
economic demands here than our own
University graduates.
On the other hand, the University
of Nevada is supplementing that por
ton or feature of its training which
relates to Nevada alone with as broad
and solid an education along general
or universal lines as any of the larger
universities are able to give.
The University of Nevada opens on
August 80, and every young man
and young woman in Nevada seeking
an education, who can find the oppor-
tunity to pursue course there should
| do so.

HELD TO KEEP THE PEACE

came peevish over certain water rights
to adjust which he did not care to
await the slow but sure process OF
the law. When first arraigned he CON
tinued his threats and it appeared had
carried a gun concealed in a handker-
chief with the avowed intention of
using the gun. An order that he fur
nish bail to keep the peace somewhat
cooled his ardor. He procured the
services of Attorney Lang and after
showing slightly improved temper,
got the bond reduced to $1,000, which
was furnished. The prompt action in
this matter by District Attorney
Campbell prevented an ugly row that
would probably have ended in murder.

JUDGE McCARRAN
IN RACE TO STAY

P. A. McCarran, Associate Justice
of the Nevada Supreme Court, accom-
panied by his family, arrived in Win
nemucca by auto last evening from
Clover Valley, Elko county, where
they spent two weeks vacation, Wis
iting with Mrs. McCarran's people.
Some time ago Judge McCarran an
nounced his candidacy for the United
States Senate, when attention was
called to Article 6, Section IL, of the
State Constitution, which provides
that Judges cannot become candidates
for other than judicial offices during
the term for which they have been
elected. Seen by a Silver State rep
resentative, and asked if this clause
would have any effect upon his candi-
dacy, Judge McCarran replied:
Before announcing my candidacy
for the Senate, | thoroughly satisfied
myself with regard to this constitu-
tional provision, going SO far as to
prepare a brief on the subject, copy
of which will be sent to any voter who
may have doubts on the question.
Stating the case in few words,
the Federal Constitution delegates to
Congress sole authority to Judge of
the election and qualigfcations of its
members, and this perogative cannot
be abrogated by the constitution of
any State. In 1855, while sitting as
Justice of the Supreme Court of Him
DIS, Lyman Trumbul was elected to
the United States Senate. The consti-
tuition of Illinois contains provision
similar to that in the Nevada Consti
ton, and this point was raised. The
Senate held that it was not within the
power of the State to fix the qualifica-
tons of a Senator, other than those
contained in the federal constitution
and Trumbull was seated
mine years after the Nevada Con-
stitution was approved by Congress,
which approval carried with it the in
depreciation heretofore rendered i'll
the Trumbull case.
But there are more recent cases IN
which a Senator, elected while serving
his State in a judicial capacity, has
been seated. In 1912 James A. O'Gor
man, Justice of the Supreme Court of
New York, was elected to the United
States Senate, and did not resign from
the bench until he had received his
certificate of election The New York
constitution contains provision SINH
lar to the one under discussion.
in our neighboring State of Cali
fornia, Congressman Raker was elect
ed to the national House of Repre-
sentatives while sitting as Superior
Judge of Lassen county, although the
same provision is incorporated in the
California constitution.
"You might add that | am in this
contest to stay, and that / shall go
the campaign without indulg-
ing in recrimination or personalities
and will not engage in those question
able practices, savoring of corruption,
which have frequently been charged to
for this exalted Office in the
State of Nevada"
when will you resume your duties
on the bench, Judge McCarran?" was
asked by the reporter
Court will meet on the 18th of
and cases have been set
from that time up to Octoberl. The
Supreme Court is in a condition un-
precedented in its history, in that
there is not a case before that body
