Warrington, Dec. s.-"There Is very
r,tl. difference between the President
and myself on the defence question
aid Senator Jacob H. Gcllinger, Repub-
,;.,n floor leader, after half hours
.0,,.rence with President Wilson on
,he subject to-day. Then he smiled as
hs added: "Nos. Of the differences have
vanished since the President ceased to
regard preparedness as academic and
;ts advocates as Rlarmists."
Senator Gsllinger assured the Presi-
d,pt Of his personal support Of the en-
tire admins ration programme. as out
lined. reserving freedom to fight for
certain substantial increases over the
Presidents plans for both tie army and
navy. but not committing himself to
details not vet worked out. He also as
,pred Mr.. Wilson that there would be
no attempt by the Republican Senators
"a make a partisan issue Of the ques-
ton. provided the administration did
mt frame a caucus measure, and then
nresent il to the Republicans to be
swallowed whole.
The Republicans, canvass this az
,ernoon showed, are far from being
agreed on the details Of the prepared
ness plans, though the. are strongly IN
favor Of a vigorous po.cy. The ma
iority are especially dubious Of the wis
dom Of the Garrison continental army
plan. though few, OF whom Mr.. Gal
lincer is one, believe it deserves a
rial. They generally agree that the
Garrison plan does not provide for suf-
hcsnt strength in the regular army
Many Of them believe that the minimum
standing force should ,e 100000 men.
Army Proposal Too Small.
Il promised the President my heart
lest support of tie plan for building
two battleships year for five years, "
said Senator Gallinger. Personally |
should prefer to build more, and II the
opportunity offers | will probably at
tempt to get more. particularly wish

marines.
THE chief change for which ! am

mental army plan is worth trial. While
there will be friction between the mill
tia supporters and the advocates OF the
eontinentals, have grave doubts
whether the national guard can ever
become a sufficient force and be avail
able promptly enough. There are weak
nsssss in the contine tai plan, but on
the whole believe it worth trying.
II did not discuss with the President
any other matters than defence. We
are much more likely to disagree on
revenue and financial questions.
II cannot agree, for instance, with

NEVADA PRESS COMMENT


Reno Journal: The Tax Commits
sion law is a matter the Legislature
must soon settle. They must settle
it in the public interest and not in
the private interest, except where
the private interest is furthered by
the public interest.
No doubt there are Legislators who
would save money if their taxes were
levied under the old plan and the
differences we're slapped on their
neighbors, but they are not sent to
the Legislature to grind their own
axes. If they feel themselves so
badly worked up by this matter that
they can't see straight they ought to
declare themselves disqualified on
the ground of special interest and
pass their vote.
1t is probable a reasonable shar-
ing of authority and responsibility
between the Tax Commission and
the Assessors will not work the evil
that existed a few years ago when
the Assessors were insensible to pub
lie criticism, but this is no argument
for giving the Assessors all the
power. Let them tote square. If
the proposal is to give the Tax Com
mission the public utilities alone to
assess and then raise the public util-
tiles while lowering the stock and
lands, the people will not stand for
it a minute.

One of the first material evidences
of the widespread interest through.
out the country in the passage of the
six-months' divorce bill by the Nevada
Legislature was received yesterday
afternoon in a telegram from the
Blackstone Hotel in Chicago to one
of the leading hotels of Reno making
reservation for apartments for a
woman who will here be designated
as Mrs. Blank. The bill was adopted
by the Senate on final passage at
11:25 a. m, and the telegram from
Chicago making reservation of apart
ments was received at 8 p. m, which
shows that the news travelled fast

Vaquero Kills Camp Cook

The Stewart ranch, near Willow
Point. was the Gene of a fatal shoot
ing ARRAY Friday evening, Peter j.
Ferra. a cook. being instantly killed
by Clyde E. Franklin. a vaquero.
The shooting was done in self-de-
tense. says the Humboldt Star.
The two men and Fred Tregaskis
were employed on the ranch. which
is under lease to Gorham & Rankin.
The men had been working together
for some time and had always been
friendly toward each other until
Ferra grew angry at Franklin over
some trivial matter. The next morn
ing Ferra failed to get breakfast for
Franklin and Tregaskis, and they had
some words over the matter. Dur
ing the afternoon Ferra went to
Willow Point and bought a revolver,
and when he returned to the ranch
in the evening he got another gun
belonging to Gorham. He went to
the barn where Franklin and Ire
casks were. they having just re-
turned from the field where they had
been breaking horses. Approaching
Franklin with a drawn revolver,
Ferra. according to the story told by
the other two men. announced that
he was going to kill him. But Frank
lin was too quick for him and pulled
his revolver and fired twice and then
started to run. The first shot struck
Ferra in the breast, and he turned
around, walked a few steps and fell
dead.

COUNTY MONEY IS SHORT
Robert Hogan, Former Treasurer, Under
Indictment For Misappropriation

Indictment For Misappropriation
Robert Hogan, former County
Treasurer of Lander County. has
been indicted on three counts charg-
ing him with misappropriating coun-
ty funds.
Hogan appeared before Judge
Breen in court a few minutes after
the indictments rel served on him,
the Reese River Reveille of Austin
says, and in answer to the usual ques-
tons declared he did not wish to Sc
cure legal counsel or wish to set a
time for arraignment. He said he
wanted an immediate trial and took
occasion to say that his arrest was
the result of a persistent scheme of
enemies.
The court set the time for arraign-
ment at May 5 and fixed bail at S2700.
The three indictments are based on
the alleged transportation of the
following amounts: S4S31. Sc, 1862 70
and S459. so.

Changing Assessment Work Date

Reno Gazette: There are two sides
to the proposal to change the date
on which assessment work may be
done to hold mining claims. 1t I'M
doubtedly is easier for the claim
holder to perform his work in a
hurry by July l than it is by January
/, as is urged by supporters of the
bill now before the Legislature, and
anything that would make it easier
for the prospector. to whose labors
this State owes so much, ought to
receive respectful consideration.
AT the same time. the purpose of
requiring assessment work to be
done is to prevent claims from being
held indefinitely. For the good of
all the State, it is argued, land that
has mineral signs ought not to lie
idle, and, if the man who first stakes
it cannot or will not develop it. then
some one else should be given the
chance to take it up. Work done in
a hurry simply to hold the claim by
a technicality complies with the tech
nical requirements of the law. but
it certainly is not the spirit of the
statute.
This is true, not only in Nevada,
but in California and in every other
mining State. A few years ago in
the Coalinga and neighboring dis
tricts of California spectators took
up over 5000 acres of possible oil-pro-
ducing land and held it against all
corners through the assessment law.
although they never intended to de-
velop it but to sell it at the first
chance. That was legal. but it was
not equitable. The same trouble has
been experienced in Alaska and.
while in Nevada. Idaho, Washington
and Montana, it has never been so
bad, Colorado has had a taste of the
claim-grabbers' work that still leaves
an unpleasant memory.
These conditions should be taken
into consideration by the Legislature
before acting upon the measure just
adopted by the Assembly and which
now goes to the Senate.
