author and Mr.. Beason will move for the
adoption of the substitute bill when it
comes from the committee. The Beason
bill will materially reduce the expense
of holding primary elections and will
make it easier for candidates who will
be obliged in the future to Only make
one campaign. 1t is understood that Gov
Boyle has expressed his approval of
the Beason BILL or at least many of its
features.

of Section 1913 of the revised statutes
of 1912. This bill will be reported out

THE LEGISLATURE.
Our REPRESENTATIVES ON MANY COMMITTEES

CARSON CITY, Jan. 26.-The first
week of the eth session of the Nevada
legislature ended with everything ap-
parently in harmonious working order.
There were a few outbursts on the
opening day when Fitzgerald of Es-
meraida, the minority leader in the
assembly, undertook the tactics of an
obstructionist. His actions have not
met with the approval of all of his fol-
lowers and consequently he is having
Lincoln county has received recogni-
ton from Speaker Mcbride by placing
members of the delegation upon import
ant committees. Assembyman Beason
was made chairman of the committee
on mileage, also on the enrolment
committee-one which will require
whole lot of hard work. Mr. Beason was
also given a place on the committe on
banks and banking
Assemblyman Scott was recognize d
by being placsd on the comm ttee on
corporations and railroads, judiciary and
latof.
In the senate, Senator M. L. Lee was
made chairman of the enrolment COM
mittee and is also a member of the
banks and banking printing and judici-
ary committees. The enrolment and
Judiciary committees are important ones,
hence Lincoln county has been well TAX
en- care of in the makeup of commit
tees.
The first bill introduced by the Lin
coin county members was in the SEN
ate by Mr.. Lee in behalf of the Lincoln
county delegation, providing for an ap-
preparation for the purchase of large
portrait painting of the martyred pres
ident, Abraham Lincoln, which is to
embelish the walls of the new assemb
ly room in the capitol building. The
sponsors for this bill originated in Car
4 son City and it was deemed proper
/ that the measure should be introduced
! by Lincoln county for the reason tha
/ Lincoln county was named after Abra-
| ham Lincoln and inasmuch as Neadi
became state during President Lin
| coins administration and this Is tn
fiftieth anniversary of the admission
Nevada into the sisterhood of states
It is expected that If the measure
passes both houses and receives the ap'
proyal of Governor Boyle that it VII
be possible to get the picture her'
in time for unveiling on Lincoln's mex
birthday anniversary.
In the assembly Mr.. Beason has in
troduced Assembly Bill No. g. whici
provides for the repeal of the presen
primary election law and substituting
therefor a law which will bring bacl

1t is rumored that our worthy repre-
sentatives at Carson are bending their
united efforts to induce the federal
government to build one or more of the
new submarines, recently recommended
navy commission, down near
Culverwel's $ ranch on Phoebe river.
Ample water can be found there for
floating the v,ssel and in case of at
tack it will be safe from the average
uber-dreadnaught attacking our coast
line. This will mean much to Phoebe
and vicinity and puts us in tn the
same class as Los Angeles, as far as
harbor is concerned.
