It's A Big Job

through Samuel Gompers. has issued
an appeal to the union men TO vote
for the candidate OF one Of the great
political parties for president. com.
ments the Ogden Standard.
On Saturday Mr.. Gompers. as presi-
dent of the Federation, gave publicity
to a review of the political situation.
in which. expressing the fear that Wall
street and its satellites would be
placed in power, If Hughes defeats vii
son, he urges labor organizations
everywhere to support Wilson.
II is generally recognized that Meth
er Mr.. Gompers nor any other man
can swing the union labor vote to any
one candidate, but, in order to do what
he has, Mr.. Gompers must feel that an
overwhelming percentage of his or,
CARNATIONS are in sympathy with his
move.
The Socialists will have most cause
20 complain, as the union labor vote
heretofore has been strongly Socialis
tic, and the Socialists for years have
been hoping to grow sufficiently i'm
portant in politics to force some OF
their doctrines on the Legislative bod!
Of the nation. Should the appeal OF
Gompers be effective. the Socialists
vote would be cut down. instead of in
creased.

FILTHY CONDITIONS
shouLp NEVER HAVE EXISTED.

Instead OF publishing to the world
rotten story about the filthy and un
sanitary conditions OF Elko. wouldn't
Il have been far better for all con
cerned to have quietly called the atten'
ton OF the proper officials 10 these
conditions and demanded an imme-
date correction?
No one will deny that certain condi'
lions are bad, but the question natural,
ly arises now, why were they ever
allowed to exist?
We have a health board, and the
officers are not SO burdened with labor
that they could not have made an oc-
casional trip over town to look after
the sanitary conditions.
II Is an old saying that II is poor
time to lock the stable after the horse
Is stolen. It Is little satisfaction now
with fifteen or more cases of typhoid
fever in our midst to publish dirty
knock on our town about conditions
which should never have existed.
IL things are anything like described
someone has been crimlnally neglect
full OF duty.
For the sake of human kindness ant
the general welfare let all filthy anC
unsanitary conditions be corrected a
once, and without more nauseatinl
publicity. And once corrected, lie
those whose duty ii is. see to it tina
such a condition never exists again.

MR.. PlATT-PATRIoT
AND Mr.. PLATT-PoLITIcIAN.

AND NIX. PLAT T-POLITICI
Sam Plat is the main owner of the
Reno Evening Gazette. Here Is what
vas said in that paper concerning tho
Pittman Land bill and its benefit t
he public schools and university Of
Tuesday. March 2S, 1916. as taker
from an editorial In that Issue:
"As long as the attacks on the
president of the state university
were confined to two papers and
the animus OF both was we'll
known to be nothing more than
personal dislike, the Gazette
thought it unnecessary to discuss
the subject.
THE president of the university
is In Washington, d. c.. because
q matter of greatest importance
to the university called him there.
The university Is a government
aided institution. the United States
has an interest in It: II Is broader
than Nevada and the people of
this state ought TO know those
facts. Without discussing proce.
dure prescribed in the land bill
now before congress-, which was
introduced by the junior senator
at the request of the state legisla.
ture, the fact remains that this
state has never received from the
United States the area of public
land to which Nevada Is entitled.
Washington, Oregon. California,
Montana, Colorado have all re.
ceived land grants. making the
small grant to Nevada look III.
significant, indeed. The school
system OF Nevada, the University
OF Nevada, as the head of that
school system, every educational
institution OF the state. ought to
be receiving income from the sale
OF lands that property belong to
the state.
"If Editor Buck will investigate
as the Gazette has investigated we
feel that he. too. will lose patience
over the petty, narrow minded nag.
ginR at the university and it's
president, in which some of the
state papers--a very few, indeed
are INDUCING"
Here we have Mr.. Platts endors
ment OF the purpose OF the Pittma
bill in March. Today he Is beating u
beautiful atmosphere OF Nevada VII
uplifted hands and declaring the go
ernmont alone should handle the sta
of Nevada. The Gazette editors
proves one thing, however, that Il
everbloomlng and evergreen candida
has lucid intervals.
The Pittman bill, as It's merits b
como known to the people. will recei,
hearty support. The people are b
lievers in the best schools and ais
believers In the idea that Nevada, Q
well as other states. should have Il
schools supported by the sale OF Ian
granted TO tho state by the govern
ment Tho bill has been maliene
lied about, misinterpreted and mi
quoted so often that when the re-
truth becomes known Il will be r

if the experts thought it desirable to

if the experts thought it desirable to
do so.
The working of the roads under any
and all conditions has contributed a
great deal to the poor shape of our
roads, They should not be started
and then left unfinished in the fall,
for then in the spring they will be in
much poorer condition than if they
had been left untouched. Dragging
the roads, if done properly, will be
very great help but the trouble is that
it is not always done correctly. An
effort should be made to see that the
right drags are used and that the
best methods of applying them are
adopted.
One matter which needs immediate
attention is the condition of the roads
in winter due to the use Of narrow
sleds, thereby making poor track
for buggies and automobiles, when
otherwise, if wide sleds were used
there would be almost as many auto
mobiles running in winter as in sum-
mer. The adoption of wide sleds
would not only greatly increase the
traffic in winter but would be par
ticular benefit to the sick who need
the services of doctor at moments
notice. This practice has been adopt
ed in other states and should be adopt
ed Immediately in Iowa. Another
thing which would improve our coun-
try roads in the winter time as we'll
as in the summer time, would be the
enforcement of the law applying to
the cutting down of weeds along the
roadside. Such weeds often are the
cause of most of the deep snowdrifts
along the highways in winter which
effectually cut off passage for the
doctor and the mailman for an in
definite length of time. The advant-
age of this plan is that it calls for
very little expenditure of money.
while on the other hand there is a
very great return.
AS there are generally only one or
two extremely bad places in partic-
ular road l think it would be a good
plan to have good automobile truck
of moderate carrying capacity, to
serve as rapid means of transporting
repairs to these scattered locations.
thereby doing away with the slow and
wasteful teams and wagons. With
such a truck very great territory
could be covered in one day and such
troublesome holes could be repaired
without serious delays.
Finally therefore, it seems best to
have, first of all, good organiza-
ton of competent engineers to direct
the construction of our roads and let
them decide what is best to do and
what is the best way to do it. At
least the weeds should be kept from
alongside the roads and wide sleds
should be used in place of the narrow
ones because this would cost actually
nothing but would be one Of the best
possible ways to improve our coun-
try roads.
