NEW LAW MAKES INDIAN
EQUALLY GUILTY

Selling whiskey to Indians probably
will become a less common practice
as a result OF the enactment of assem-
bly, bill 251. signed by the governor
last Wednesday. The law reduces
the crime from felony to IA mis-
demeanor. but adds section under
which the Indian may be arrested
and also sent to Jail. His term of i'm
prisonment may range from so to 100
days and the county may soon have a
large supply of boarders to put to
work on the roads, II arrests are made
How well this law will work out de-
pends altogether on how thoroughly
ii is tested. II may crowd ire iails
for a time but il the medicine is igidly
administered il may result in Kidding
the town and county of a condition
that at times has been deplorablc

Douglas

This shows the result OF ten high
school games with a total for the
Douglas team of 3s2, or an average OF
3S.2 points per game, and their op-
ponents a total of POS, or an average
of 2o.5 points per game This gives
the locals lead of III points in
every game played in the high school
class. which snot so bad consider
ing that half of the games were play
ed on foreign courts.
The Douglas boys also gained, in
every place they played the reputation
OF being the cleanest players in the
state and winning their games strict
iy on merits rather than by any trick
cry or underhanded methods This
reputation is worth more to the high
school and to the boys themselves
than the fact that they were cham
pions. Cleanness in athletics is one
OF the essentials il athletics are TO be
OF any value. and We feel that our
boys hacye done all that could be
asked of them along that line this

CHANGE IN
LICENSE LAW

That the removal of many of the
classes of business from the need of
paying county licenses will not nee
essarily result in loss of taxation
ryenue, Was Tn statement made in
Carson this week 1t was said that
the practice in the past had been for
merchants, hotel keepers, lodging
house keepers and others to the a
mount of the license they paid by
underwriting their stocks of goods,
buildings etc, but that this practice
will be impossible in the future.
For instance, If merchant had
heen paying $50 quarter. or $50 a
year license. instead of being taxed on
$50. o. goods In general taxation he
would be taxed on $4,000 in goods.
The $500 cut from the assessment
would mean cut in general taxes of
$50 In taxes AZ the rate OF So per Sl00
OF value.
II Is said that. even II the county
commissioners do not raise the county
tax legies. there is here a means of
providing for whatever loss of revenue
may be oeoasioned by taking away the
merchandise and hotel licenses.
a statement issued from the capitol
gives the following as the amount
of increase in county tax rates. bas-

feeling that gambling Il advantageous

is even more appealing than as a

The role of the queen was posed by
Miss Nadine Traverse, one of the

MANY ZEPPELINS DESTROYED
Some Shattered by Antl-Alrcraft Guns
Defending English Towns, 9th
ers by AeropIanes.

London, Sept. 15.-More than a
score-possibly thirty-of the Zeppelin
airships used by Germany in the war
have been destroyed. Many of these
were shattered by the anti-aircraft
guns defending English towns or
brought down by English aeroplanes
above the battle front on the CONT
nent.
The exact totals Of the Zeppelin
losses will not be known until the
war Is over. The British government
maintains the same secrecy with re-
gard to the Zeppelins as 1t does in
reference to the German submarines
that have been destroyed.
On several occasions the official
statements have carried "a report
that Zeppelin was hit. Whenever
the governments announcement goes
that far It may be regarded as prac-
tically certain that the report has
been confirmed and that the Zeppelin
Is nc more.
