We have made it difficult If not impossible
for Germany to get some of our products which
She needs greatly; this the export embargo has
accomplished Now this government takes
the logical step of preventing Germany through
investments of capital in many countries from
employing this money to earn large returns by
selling manufactures and raw materials In this
country Thus we first made it impossible for
Germany to buy from us and then make 1t more
difficult for her to get money to buy from any
nation. German hopes TO exploit Russia; she
has hoped much from the Italian invasion in
the way of food production on captured terri
tory But Russia is bankrupt and starving it
must be given capital, supplies and means to
work with before it can mean much help to Ger
many. Italy is no easy conquest ike Rumania
Germany needs more money and more men than
ever The men are hard to get and now we
make the money harder TO get.

MENACE OF STATE REGULATION

Millions OF dollars are being wasted every
year because of Implications, determinations
and litigations arising out of a division of au-
thority over railroads between the states and
the federal government State laws are not
merely suggestive. They are positively manda-
tory. and diveSt the carrier absolutely of dis
erection TO develop new markets or to deal with
trade equities or exigencies. These laws com
prehend extra crews, two-cent fares, demuuage
penalties. inspection expenses, increased wages
and taxation and host of other revenue-de-
vouring measures
Twenty states have legally asserted their
right TO control stock and bond issues of rail
roads operating within their boundaries. In
the case of a railroad traversing several states
the consent of each being necessary TO a pro-
posed issue of securities, many things may hap
pen. One state may withhold its consent until
the delay so oecasioned defeats the project All
states may approve it but one, and that one sav
the proposal by its refusal This is one of the
results of state railroad regulation and an illus
tration of the extremes 10 which it has been
carried Hence, this newly developing feature
of state regulation is placing the financial
standing and credit of railroad at the mercy
of a state which may be influenced or actuated
by either political selfishness or illiberality
Only congress should regulate so momentous an

ToDAY,s BIT OF VERSE
THE MUSkET.


My great-granddaddy's musket in
The attic corner stands;
A spider DER the muzzle spins
Her gray and CHASTITY strands
And dark and windy midnights, when
The threshing boughs are bare,
We hear him on his wooden leg
Go stumping up the stair
He left the cattle in the field.
He left the growing corn,
To seize the flintlock from the wall,
With pouch and powder horn.
He shouldered it from Lexington
To Yorktown, where il sped
In Liberty's triumphant cause
Its hRal slug of lead.
IT'S loaded yet; the powder in
The barrel, long and brown,
Is just as ready for the spark
AS when he tamped il down.
So IN the hearts OF Freedoms sons
The lore Of Freedom lies
And al her call leaps up 10 fling
Her banner 10 the skies
Ny great-granddaddy's spirit still
Patrols the o. s A.
To every patriot, behold.
His u1uskst points the way.
II leads across the sea 10 France
And trenches grim and CORY,
So forward With the starry fas,
For that's the road TO glory.

Highway Experts Coming

Governor Boyle has sent a mes
age to the bureau of public roads
and rural engineering at Washing
ton, requesting the services of two
experts familiar with highway con-
struction in other states and also
with the bills to be presented to the
state legislatures in compliance with
the Shackelford bill. passed by con-
ress, whereby the states are to re-
ceive over $50, 1000 900 for the con-
struction of national highways. 1t
is expected hat the experts will ar
rive in Carson in from two to three
weeks. Nevada is to receive about
$4,000 this year, to be used in high
way construction, and under the act
will in the course of five years re-
ceive about $1,0OO,000. The act pro-
vides that the state must raise an
equal amount.

FIRE IN BASEMENT
Of ElKS' BUILDING
BURNED ALL AFTERNOON AND
OSCAR THOUGHT 1T WAS
HIS BEANS

A fire that %smouldered all yes
teIday afternoon in the floor under
the open fireplace in the Elks' club
room and made the odor of burning
wood evident in the room and in
the New building was discovered
shortly before 5 o'clock by Harry
Polin and Oscar Steinman, chef in
the club, after it had burned a hole
about a foot in diameter in the
floor.
The cement bottom of the fire
place rests on a board floor. The
cement became extremely hot and
set fire to the floor under it. The
basement of the building is used by
Polin brothers as a store room and
is kept locked, and it was not un-
til after Steinman had consistently
claimed all afternoon that the
smell came from beans that he
was cooking, that he and Polin de-
cided to investigate and found the
fire.
The cement was red hot when
the firemen arrived and it was
necessary to play a chemical extin-
guisher on it for over a half hour
before it was cooled.

TRIED TO LOSE THREE

NEVADA FAILED TO CURE ALL
MENT THAT TROUBLED
THEM MOST

The second suit of Ruth j. Fem
divorce has been dismissed by Judge
W alsh. The Feinberg cases have
been in the district court for a long
time. The first case was dismiss
ed after being heard and the
second case was submitted last
July. In it's opinion the court held
that 1t had no jurisdiction and
therefore denied the divorce.
The opinion says it is quite ap-
parent the plaintiff came here for
the sole purpose of obtaining a di-
vorce, though intermingled with
testimony on that point there is
some testimony that the plaintiff
came here for her health, but in
every instance the question of health
is coupled with that of divorce.
Both parties to the case are from
New York. The plaintiff testified
the defendant did not come here to
ling from rheumatism and her
mother testified. that she was trou-
bled with neuritis. The testimony
d~iscloses that they came to Nevada
to lose their respective ailments
and David Feinberg all in six
months. The testimony does not
disclose whether or not the two wo-
men lost their rheumatism and
neuritis, but they did fail to lose
David Feinberg after two attempts.

than 60 minutes. The piers which
provided the foundation for the old
