IMMIGRATION BILL VETOED
Wilson Says He Will Abide BY Verdict

Wilson Says He Will Abide By Verdict
OF People When Il Il Rendered
President Wilson has vetoed the
immigration bill and sent a special
message to Congress saying he dis
approved of the measure because of
the literacy and other restrictive
tests, which it proposed as a condi-
ton of admission for immigrants.
He said the bill in many respects
was well conceived and desirable.
IF the people of this country made
up their minds to limit the immi-
grants by arbitrary tests. so a to re-
verse the policy of all generations of
Americans before them, it is their
right to do so. l. their servant, have
no right to stand in their way, but ]
do not believe that they have; l am
willing to abide by their verdict. but
not until it is rendered. Let the
platforms Of the parties speak out
upon this policy and the people pro-
nounce their wish"

Reno Has Come Back

AT Carson Wednesday. by a vote
of AZ to 10. the Assembly passed the
easy divorce law that requires only a
six months residence in Nevada to
commence the severance of the mar

conceded that it will also pass that
body. Wednesday was a gala day
at Carson, the legislative halls being
thronged with crowds of easy di.
vorce fans who were brought there
on special trains to help the good
cause along.

NEVADA PRESS COMMENT

Tonopah Bonanza: If the lobbyist
of the University of Nevada are
wise, they will carry away theil
heavily laden sack from the Legisla
ture before that body passes upor
the six months law as applying t
divorce actions. Should the Washes
County delegation succeed in its eff
forts to again throw open the State
to applicants for divorce, which they
would be unable to obtain in theil
own States. and thus hiring upon Ne
vada the ignominy and satire which
a courageous Legislature cast from
it two years ago, then Washoe Coun.
TVS principal public institution, the
University of Nevada. is no longer
deserving of State aid. nor will it re-
ceive the patronage that it has en-
joyed to such a greater extent since
the divorce law was repealed. There
are excellent institutions of learning
in other cities than Reno, where
young men and women would not be
subjected to the communicating in
fuences of the colony" and its
hangers-on.

running for mayor of Berkeley, CAL,
where he has been secretary OF the
Chamber of Commerce for several
years.
Carefully kept records at Ely show
that 422 cars passed through that
place over the Lincoln Highway be-
tween March and November of the
past year, and the benefit to the town
is estimated at $4,000. The heav'
lest traffic was in July when as cars
passed that way. 1t is estimated
that the traffic is worth $25 per car
to each town where they stop.

scissors, and it is probable that they

Aisne river in that region They
claim compensations for this defeat
at other points on the line, in upper
Alsace and near St. Mihiel.
English and Turkish forces have
already been in contact 80 miles east
of the Suez canal. In a skirmish
few we're killed and wounded on
both sides. This seems to Indicate
an increasing pressure against the
English outposts and may mean a
serious battle within a few days.
English aviators have been constant
" reconnoitering Turkish positions,
have found the enemy in force and
have sometimes seized the opportun-
ity to drop bombs upon them.
Warfare in the air is maintained
with considerable activity. The
Germans have again attacked Dun
kirk, this time at night. Their OBJ
ject was to destroy the supply sta
tons of the English army. Many
we're dropped, but, according
to the English report. none OF the
stations were struck.
1t was officially announced in Lon
don. last Tuesday that the Zeppelin
dirigible balloon, which on Monday
dropped bombs on the Russian port
of Libau. on the Baltic, was des-
troyed and its crew taken prisoners.
English aviators made new attacks
on Ostend and Zeebrugge. A squad
ron of German aeroplanes from the
hangar east of Ostend surrounded
three English machines and drove
them out to sea. where, tits believed,
they were lost.

Here is a new Ford story we saw
somewhere, but have forgotten just
where: A man in California writes
to the Ford Company and tells them
they should feel very much exalted
for the reason that the Ford is the
only a mentioned in the Bible. and
to prove it he cites them the passage
in Isaiah which says: He went up
into Heaven on high" and asks what
other car but a Ford could do that?-

LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS
Bill Abolishing Tax Commits
sion To Be Amended and
Called Up Monday

sion, because IL was preclpltateG
by a motion to vacate the special
order made of the bill to repeal
the act creating the commission
and to make it special order for
next Monday at 2:20 o'clock, was
held yesterday afternoon in the
Senate.
Harrington vigorously opposed
the motion and after Senator Car
penter had announced that a new
bill to satisfy both sides in the
controversy over the Tax Com
mission was being framed. assert
ed he believed the repeal bill
should stand or fall on its merits.
He said the real reason of the de-
lay was to make trades, and an
nounced, so far as he was con-
cerned, he would refuse to be a
party to any frameup or trade
whereby it was proposed to pass
any bill except on its merits.
Cault Roasts Commission
The discussion marked the ap-
pearance in debate of Senator
Gault of Washoe. Heretofore
the senior Senator from Washoe
has confined his remarks to an
swering the roll call, but yester-
day he threw himself into the
thick of the fray with a bitter at
tack on the Tax Commission, as
sorting its acts were unjust and
the bill creating it unconstitu-
tional. He closed his remarks
by saying, if the Tax Commission
should be retained, he chopped
Christ would sound his trumpet
for the resurrection day."
The motion to make the bill
to abolish the commission a spec
ial order for next Monday, was
carried by a vote of IL to 4, SEN
ator Seaman passing his vote.
Harrington, Elliot, Arnold and
Kenney voted against the motion.
The Senate also passed the
meas
ure by a vote of IL to 10. The
bill was amended to exclude
nurses and domestic employees
and does not apply to offices in
which there are not more than
two employees. Senator Brad
shaw, Elliott, Fernald, Hesson.
Keddie, Kendall, Lee, Lemaire,
Stickney and Thatcher opposed
the bill.
The blacklist bill came out OF
committee, but was so much
changed byamendments proposed
by the committees that it was
sent back to the printer with
orders to reprint it.
Gift Enterprise Bill Passes
The act repeating the law pro-
hibiting gift enterprises was
passed in the Senate without q
dissenting vote. It is ready for
the Governor to act upon. In
the Assembly it was defeated on
first roll call, but was passed
when taken up under a motion
to reconsider.
Without a dissenting vote the
Assembly passed the bill abolish
ing the Commission of Agricul-
ture, Industry and Irrigation,
more Familiarity known as the
Publicity Commission. The re-
peal of this bill created one OF
hardest fights of the last session.
resulting in the retention of the
commission. The vote yester-
day was so to o in favor of re-
peal, with two members not vot-
