D|CKERsON QUITS JOB
AS WARDEN OF THE
STATE PRISON

Without previous warning, and ap-
parently without any reason, except
that he does not want the Job any
longer, Ex-Governor Denver S Dick
erson this week rendered his resig
nation to Governor Boyle as Warden
of the State Prison. Governor Boyle
immediately accepted the RESIGNATION
and has appointed X. b. Henrichs oi
Reno to hll the vacancy. MIR. lien
richs was County Commissioners OF
Washoe County. and the Governo
has appointed Albert NJ. SInitl! to
take thu place of Henricas on the
Washoe County board.
While Warden Dickerson MY have
had some strong ideas as to how thC
prison should be run, which perhaps
differed from those OF his superior
officers. it IS Gel tain that some of Lis
WAYS were good. He ad the good
will of prisoners and of guards, and
they all seemed to respect him and
his orders. One thin was remarked
during his administration. and that
was that, during former administrs
tions, it was not unusual for guard
and other employees to hold saloon
sessions in Carson and tell how tn,
prison should be rum During Dick
erson's management of the concern
this was entirely stopped, and the
other extreme prevailed Nothing
that happened at the prison leaked
out All matters pertaining to the
institution were threshed out within
It's confines. and the public only had
a crack at results.
Bad prisoners were made to behave
and the system he inaugurated OF
letting theAconduct of esch rlan' re
gradJess 6f his crime or previous
record, govern his treatment while il
prison, seemed TO work out al right
1t was generally understood among
the convicts that they woould BE-
treated Just as they desired while pay
.ng the penalty of their crimes. If one
desired rough treatment, all he hac
10 do was TO misbehavc while theic
and he would receive plenty of rough
ness. On the other Ian :, if he actet
ike a man, he would be treated like
one.
1t was the desire of all the pris
1ners TO be sent to the prison farm
TO work. Men at tire farm were treat
to work. Men at'the far mwere treat
are treated. and it wa a desirable
ioh. No man could get on the hiP
farm, which, by the way, is credit
the State and to the Warden, II. les
he had shown disposition to behay
himself and the punishment for fail
ure to make good on the farm wa
to be sent back to the yard. Yer
seldom was it necessary to send ono
back to the yard. From prison re
form point of view, the administra
ton of Dickerson was success. Ht
kept the men sent to him. and admin
istered very little punishment

Dan Pennington and his associates
the well known leasers on the En-
ire-Nevada estate, are moving the

NATIONAL COMMITTEES
GETTING READY
FOR 1918

Vance Mccormick, Chairman of the
Democratic National Committee, an
nounces that he is already laying
plans for the campaign fir Cngress
two years hence. Mccormick is not
alone in this determination. The Re-
publican Congressional Committee is
a continuous body, with permanent
headquarters, and is always on the
JOB. The Senatori Campaign Com
mittee, which came into existence
3itr the cam. aign of 1916, is another
organizat on whose functions do not
lease with election day, and it, too,
viii maintain its activities The next
campaign has alre-.dy begun.

Republicans of majority of tie State

oarently passed into the hands of the
Republicans, vino were almost rni-
;ormly successful with their State
tickets all through tie North-ahe
Southern situation again working 70
the advantage of tie Democ- Its.
In 1918 tie Presidents own for
tunes and personality will not be in
issue. That campaign will turn upon
l wider survey of the Democratic ad-
ninistrations work than has yet been
had, and the .alae of the policies
which the President espouses or
which will be thrust upon him, es-
pecially by organized labor, may the
be passed upon.
Republicans. generally sp,a'sinr
have no msgivings about 1o18-o-
about 1920, either-for they regard
the reverscs of this year as due to
causes which can. and which will be
remedicd.

COUNTY ESTIMATES
SHOW REDUCTION
estimated County Expense for 1917
Total 121 ,504.11, as, Against
S124,94O for 1916

nespite new appropriations not
..ovided for last year, but included
!. the estimates for the coming year,
.mounting to $685., a considerable
,.oduetion is still shown in the esti-
mates of county expenses for the
,nming year under the total of the
estimates made a year ago. In all
there is saving of $3345.S9 as the
estimates stand. The estimates a
4voar ago totaled $124,940, the esti-
mates completed by the county COM
missioners on Wednesday amount to
s121,594.11.
Should one take from the esti-
mates this year the amount of
concentrations added this year,
amounting to $685., the reduction is
aven greater. For the number of
purposes, surety bonds, premiums,
repairs and alterations, county cor
oner and other items, no appropria-
tons were made year ago. This
year the total for those purposes
amounts to $685..
For comparative purposes it is
permissable to subtract that amount
from the 1917 total, leaving only the
items for which appropriations were
made both years. On the other hand
q total of $4,000 was appropriated
for elections, an item that needs not
be considered for next year.
A number of the items not cared
for in appropriations last year were
met in the surplus from several
county offices, chiefly those of the
sheriff and the superior court. For
some such items, however, there will
be straight deficit, the coroner's
office being an example.
The commissioners on Tuesday and
Wednesday made the following re-
ductions in estimates on the county
offices:
Treasurer, from $500 to $726O;
clerk, from 1890 to $343O; assessor,
from $4,000 to $3.50; prosecuting
attorney, from $4,000 to $240O;
sheriff, from $4,000 and $3.50;
superior court, from $10,105 to
sS605; justice court, from $3.50 to
$500; INDECENT relief, from $92S5 to
1876; court house repairs, from
$4,000 to $500.
