RENO SETS AN EXAMPLE

Reno is enforcing an ordinance
which compels. property wner on
business streets to remove snow from
in front of their premises within twen-
ty-four hours after the cessation OF d
storm. Such a practice should be-
come the vogue in Carson and if there
is no ordinance that governs one
should be enacted by the City Trus-
tees.
Most of the merchants and proper
ty owners along Carson's main stree,
remove the snow that blocks the
front of their buildings within a brief
space of time, but there are non-resi-
dent property holders who pay no az
rcntion to the accumulation of snow
and let it remain right where it falls
til it is thawed out by nature. In
these cases the authorities should

WOULD FORM LIQUOR TRUST

Some Of the advocates in Reno
of liberal laws" for Nevada have de-
vised a scheme whereby they hope to
control the liquor traffic and uphold
the dignity Of the business in Me-
vada. Their idea primarily is to have
the trade put under the contr"l Of a
commission OF ten, app II | by state
authorities. All applications for Ii.
cense shall be made to them and none
granted except upon their approval,
and then only one license to cvcrV
1000 residents. There are also sew
eral other conditions that give the
board an almost despotic power. III

and give a majority of the board the
right to say who should and who
should not engage in the saloon bust
ness. and takes all power from the
hands Of the county authorities.
a bill. it is stated. along these lines
will be presented to the next legisla-
ture, but it is pretty safe to assume it
will never get beyond the first read
ing. II the liquor business is to CON
tinue in this state, as it probably will
for the next few years. it should come
under the control of the authorities o!
the city or county in which it is To-
Gated and it is not up to a commits
sion, located say in Reno or Carson,
to determine who shall run saloons in
Elko, Ely, Winnemucca or Tonopah,
The authorities of these towns are
the best judges Of their local condi-
tons and they will resent any inter
ference.
However, there are plenty of way,
Of regulating the liquor or saloon bus
mess, ard one of these is by high
license and the compelling Of observ-
ance of present laws. Were these lat
ter rigidly enforced, and it might be
done by a state commissioner, II
would do much towards doing away
with the agitation that now exists,

trust, probably back of which looms
the influence of two or three brewing

X GOOD ROADS

In the results Of inquiries made by
Federal officers who are supervising
the use of $8O,OO0,OOO appropriated for
the improvement of roads there is
nothing more instructive and inter-
esting than the proof that road better
ment has greatly increased the mar
ket value Of farm land. states the New
York Times. A careful investigation
was made in eight representative
counties. covering a period of five
years. The record of many actual
transactions shows that the selling
price of farm land within II mile of
the improved roads has been largely
increased, in one county by 1914 per
the additions to value being from
two to three times the cost Of the road
work.
The law which appropriates $780,.
100000 to be expended in five years,
with the condition that states spend
an equal sum in carrying out an i'm
provcment program, has been in effect
for six months. While only one state
has met all the requirements OF it,
others have made a beginning, and all
will eventually undertake to do their
share. In several states delay is due
to the need OF new legislation. Care
full preparation has been made by the
department of agriculture at Wash
ington for expert supervision and in
spection of the improvements for
which $l6O,OOO,OOO will be paid. 1t
should be noted that the statute re-
quires local governments to maintain
the new roads in good condition.
Much excellent work on roads, as
everybody knows, has been done by
the states themselves. The sum ex-
pended on the nations highways rose
from $79,0O0,OOO in 1904 to $225,0OO.-
600 in 1914, and has been about $780,
100000 in the present year. Part of
the cost has been paid with money
received for automobile licenses. But
there are states where the expendi-
lures have been very small and clearly
inadequate. They will be stimulated
by the federal aid.

MAKING THE BRAYLESS MULE

The brayless mule is n of the
scientific developments Of the war.
Large numbers OF mules have been
imported from America for use at the
front, but their habit of braying at in
convenient moments had to be rem
edied before they could be used to the
best advantage.
The veterinary experts were called
in and after a little experiment they
discovered that a slight operation on
the nostril had the desired effect. All
the mules sent to the front are now
made mute by this process.
It is now in order to determine
what membrane makes the braying
man and remove the cause. What a
god-send it would be.

KNOWS ABSOLUTELY WHAT
HE IS DOING

Two very respectable and eminent
English divines in their Christmas
discourses took President Wilson to
task for suggesting peace conferences
to the warning nations of Europe. In
the course Of his remarks one Of the
dignitaries, preaching before an ultra
fashionable congregation in London,
said. President Wilson has either. in
a fit of mental alteration, SEN the
wrong note, or he has entirely mis-
apprehended the European situation
President Wilson has done neither.
He not only sent the right note.
which in time will be regarded as one
of the worlds classics. but he thor
oughly understands the situation.
much better than censored England.
whose main facts concerning the
progress of the war usually come
from American sources. But Presi
dent Wilson does not speak for the
high and mighty, the au~tocrats, the
a%ristocrats of the Old World. They
give him little concern, but it is for
the poor and lowly, those for whom
the preacher of Nazareth spoke, and
for the men in the trenches and the
wives and children of the soldiers that
he has lifted his pen and written the
words that will prove as historical
and epoch-making as the magma

ton proclamation of Abraham Lin.
