Nevada State News

Citizens from all over the county
participated in Elko's Loyalty Day
celebration on Friday of last week.
More than a thousand took part in
the parade, one of the features of
which was the high school cadets
and the Red Cross girls. There were
100 girls and boys each in uniform.
Dennis Murray of Las Vegas was
instantly killed by an engine early
Sunday morning. Witnesses who
saw the tragedy say that Dennis
waited by the side of the tracks and
then deliberately threw himself in
front of the rear wheels of the loco
motive as it was passing.
The shortage of labor will be one OF
the most serious problems that the
farmer. stockraiser and sheepman of
Nevada has to face this year accord
ing to prominent stockmen and
ranchers. Through the efforts of
the committee recently appointed by
Governor Boyle to make a survey of
the crop situation in Nevada this
year it is expected that this labor
problem will be solved in part. but
the cry for more laborers is now be-
ing heard in many parts of the State
and it promises to become greater as
the season progresses.

STATE NOW READY TO
LOAN MONEY ON FARMS

The State of Nevada is ready to
embark in the business of loaning
money on farms out of the funds of
the State Permanent School fund, &C
cording to the official advertisement
published elsewhere in this paper.
This follows the amendment to the
constitution of Nevada adopted by
the people in 1916 permitting the in
vestment of school moneys not only
in United States anC State bonds,
but in county bonds and in farm
mortgages when trebly secured and
bearing interest not less than 6 per
cent.
An enabling Act defining the du-
ties of the State Board of Invest
ments in this respect was passed by
the Legislature in the recent session
of 1917.
Under the law the Attorney Gen.
eral must give his opinion on the loan
requested, respecting title and other
elements. Blank application forms
and rules are in course of prepare
ton and information will be furnished
on request by the State Board of In
vestments.
Funds of the State Permanent
School fund for investment in this
way will be provided by converting
some of the small interest paying Sc
curities now held into cash. A block
of $500, 900 Massachusetts, bonds
earning 8 per cent is offered now for
sale. for this purpose. as well as to
provide moneys for other contem-
plated bond purchases.

ALI Our Railroads
Under One Management

Few people realize the vast power
lodged in the recently created rail-
road committee of five executive Of
icers now located in Washington. Un-
der tt new order there is practically
only one Nationwide transportation
system in the country. Terminals
mean nothing; strife for Government
business is eliminated, and equip
ment is pooled. This committee has
the power to take engines and cars
from one road and transfer them to
another road. 1t may order ship
ments diverted from one road to
another without regard to COMPETE
tive earnings. The power of the
committee is almost unlimited.

ONE ROBIN

Goodwin's Weekly: We have been
watching a robin for two weeks. He
must be a widower or grass widower
or an old bachelor robin who is try
ing to fix things up to improve his
conditions. He comes every morning
and tries to sing. but there is a frog
in his throat. He seems to be look
ing about for a place to build a Sum-
mel villa that will bring him into
prominence as a retired robin of for
tune, who could only be approached
by the elect.
But he is having a hard time of it..
He seems to be like Lisera against
whom the stars fought. The trees
do not bring out their verdure; the
billiards. defeat every attempt on
his part to build a Summer mansion;
and if he really has a mate and she,
every night, chides him for being
out all day, he has to tell her of the
scarcity of worms and the high cost
of living to divert her attention.
We have watched him for days and
he has our full sympathy. However,
he has cheered up a good deal since
the new moon came in, and his song
this morning carried anote of hope.

Somebody down in Lewiston has q
horrible crouch on over the tax as
sessments, arguing to his own salts
faction that Lewiston is getting the
worst of it all around.
In an article of over a column
length in the Tribune this tax expert
propounds this stumper:
'Is Moscow as big and rich and
prosperous as Lewiston as in some
quarters has been contended or is
such a statement unwarranted, or do
the assessment rolls lie?'
With this as an opener this expert
who is talking for the benefit of the
state board of equalization goes pm to
remark:
recently been completed and sent to
Boise for review by the state board.
These rolls show that business lots in
this county are assessed at SLIT, 1926;
residence lots, $1,182,17O; improve
ments on business and residence lots,
$1,760,480, making a total of $4,120,-
575. The Latah county roll just
completed nthese items show: Bust
ness lots, $266,S6O; residence lots,
$516,O73; improvements on business
and residence lots, $1,279,5S7, ma
king a total of $2,062,52O.
Nez Perez county has few towns
outside of Lewiston, these being Lap
wal Culdesac, Clifford, Peck, Leland
and smaller places, the total assessed
value of which would reach but few
hundred thousand dollars, so the bulk
Of this assessment applies to Lewiston |
as regards town property. In Latah |
there are several quite large |
owns, such as Kendrick, Juliaetta, |
Troy, Potlatch and Genesee to be ac-
counted for in a share of the valua

President Ernest II. Lindley of tn,
University of Idaho is in receipt O.
the following letter which makes Sc
clear and emphatic the need of keep
ing .y0ang engineers in school and al
work that it is given herewith in
fulfil;
Dear Sir: There is an imminent
matter of vital Importance to the Am
erican nation concerning which very
little, II anything. has been said in
the ewspapers-hence the presenta-
tior of this letter, and with it an
urgent request for its publication in
your columns and subsequently. for a
wide circulation through copying by
the public press of the entire coun-
try
refer TO the depletion of the
classes in technical schools, first. by
widespread volunteering for the army
and navy and, second, by conscrip-
zion This subject received much at
tention at the Washington meeting, on
the 6th and 18th inst. of the Society for
the Promotion of Engineering Educa-
ton, an organization of twenty-five
years standing and composed of most
of the leading American instructors
in all lines of applied science, and al
so few prominent practicing engi-
neers. The meeting was addressed by
such distinguished men as the secre-
tary of war, the chief of engineers of
the U, S. army and the director of the
bureau of standards. The five ses-
sions held by the society on those two
days were devoted almost exclusively
TO questions of public welfare, prin-
cipally connected with the war, its
subsequent conditions, and its antic-
ipated problems.
Work After the War
As | attended ali of the sessions
from start to finish and took the deep-
est interest in the entire proceedings,
I feel justified in making the follow
ing statements. and in claiming that
they express the opinions of num-
Der of the most profound thinkers of
America
First, The larger part of the civiliz-
ed world will have 20 be reconstruct
ed after the war. not excluding our
own great railroad system, which uG-
doubtedly will have oeteriorated on
account of over use and lack of ade-
quate up-keep.
Second. Sucn reconstruction is al
most exclusively the work of engi-
neers.
Third. The European technical men
have been killed off by thousands dur
ing the past three years; AMI their
slaughter will not cease until the war
ends. Moreover, it is more than prob
able that many American engineers
who serve in Europe will never return
to our shores, and that large number |
of those who come back will be more |
or less incapacitated from active pro-
fessional work.

difficult 1t is as follows:
First. By urging more young men
to go to college, and by persuading
their parents that it is their duty to
send the boys there for the ultimate
good of both themselves and the
country.
Second. BY inducing all sub-fresh-
men who have shown any special apt
! itude for mathematics, mechanics, or
chemistry, to take the technical
courses.
Keep Engineers at Work
Third By discouraging the enlist
ment into the army and navy of all
students in technical Institutions, but,
ON the contrary, by encouraging them
to remain and graduate, if possible
Of course, those who are drafted will
have to serve; for it would, manifestly,
be unfair to the rest of the youths of
the country to excuse a man from go
ding to the front simply because he
is a technical student Such drafted
students, however, should generally be
sent to the engineer corps, because
their services in that branch of the
army would probably be more effective
than in any other, and because the
training they would receive therein
stead in after years when practicing
in the engineering profession.
Uncle Sam Should Help
Fourth. By granting government aid
to enose youths of evident special abil-
ity in technical lines who are unable
to raise the money necessary for
course of instruction.
If these four steps be taken, the uni
que opportunity referred to will not be |
lost; and this country will then be-
come the leader of the world in ac-
tivity, effectiveness, and wealth.
Let me, therefore, most earnestly |
implore all youths who are ready for |
college this fall, and who are not in
any way untitled for technical careers,
to take up some branch of engineer
ing or technology; and let me entreat |
the parents or guardians of such |
youths to exert their influence so as
to induce the boys to choose that line
of study for their life work. Remem-
Der: it is not only for the good of the |
that / make this appeal, but |
also for the ultimate benefit of the |
young men themselves. .
Why Personal Appeal
Some reader of this communication |
may remark that such an appeal !,
would possess more force if it were |
to come from a national engineering |
society than when emanating from an
individual engineer. Very true! But |
until quite lately there has been no
society which draws it's
from all lines of technic-
al activity; and the one which is now
being formed, viz, the American Aca-
denny of Engineers, has not yet receiv-
I'd from congress the national charter
for which it has applied. We're that
today fully organized and
July recognized by the government, it
would make such an appeal
IS this; and, in my opinion, that ap-
zeal would Immediately be responded

people certainly are sensible enough to
