Looks Bad For
School Supervision

Elko Free Press April II: A tele-
gram was received here last evening
from State Superintendent Bray at
Carson City. that State Controller
George Cole had refused to pay the
bills presented to him by the district
deputies of schools for their travel
ing and office expenses. and notified
Mr.. Bray that after July / he would
refuse to pay the salaries of the dis
trict deputies.
This practically abolishes the dis
trict deputies of the schools, as &C
cording to a recent ruling of the at
torney-general the Office cannot be
filled by appointment by the county
commissioners as was at first talked
of. This is certainly to be regretted
as it means that the schools of the
entire State will be without super
vision for a period of at least two
years. or until the meeting of the
next Legislature.

HIGH SCHOOL
STUDENTS MAY ENLIST
Governor and State Board of Edu-
cation Approve Action Taken
by County Board

]. E. Bray, Superintendent of Pub
lie Instruction, is in receipt of a let
ter from the clerk of the Churchill
County Board of Education, calling
attention to a resolution passed by
the board of education of that coun-
ty. and requesting that the matter
be discussed with the Governor and
other members of the State board.
The resolution is as follows:
Whereas, A state of war has been
declared and now exists between this
country and Germany, and
Whereas; 1t is the conviction of
this Board that the situation demands
the fullest cooperation on the part
of every citizen and official, and
Whereas; But eight weeks remain
of this school term;
Nov therefore be it resolved:
That it is the sentiment of the
Churchill County Board of Education
that no .impediments should be put
in the way of full participation by
high school pupils of proper age for
military service, and that the princi-
pal of the Churchill County High
School be bythese presents authorized
and directed to give full credit for
the scholastic year ending June 8,
1917, to pupils eighteen years of age.
or over, who enlist in the military or
naval service of the United States of
America, such credit to be given in
all subjects in which such pupils shall
have done satisfactory work up to
the time of enlistment. and
BE it further resolved that a copy
of these resolutions be sent the State
Board of Education for their ratifica-
tion."
This is the first high school in the
State to take up the matter of the
enlistment of pupils over eighteen
years of age in the army for the de-
Tense of the country, and Superin-
tendent Bray stated that the resolu-
ton meets with the heartiest approx
al of himself and the Governor
Carson News.

HIGH COST OF FIGHTING
MEANS HEAVY TAXES
Likely to Put Most OF
the Burden on the Rich or
Well-to-Do

AS far as possible. this war is to be
paid for with money raised by taxa
ton, not by borrowing.
The plan most in favor at Wash
ington is to raise about half the
needed money each way. This will
make enormous taxes next year, per-
haps this year; but they will be the
sort of taxes that will not be noticed
very much by the average man.
They will fall mainly on the rich and
well-to-do.
The chief reliance will be the in
come tax and the excess profits tax,
both of which will be largely in
creased. Already the tax on incomes
from $4,000 to 500, 900 is 2 per cent.
For larger incomes the rate increases
with the income until the largest in
comes are reached; these pay Is per
cent, $130. 900 on a 81, 600, 900 income.
There is talk of taking so per cent
of the larger incomes.
The excess profits tax is now 8 per
cent on all profits in excess of 8 per
cent of the actual capital employed.
For example, a man or corporation
using in his business a capital of
$40. 900, and earning $50. 900 a year.
pays a tax of 8 per cent on $42. 900.
OIL a tax bill of 1880. This also may
be increased to so per cent, making
the tax bill in the Ease supposed $21.-
600.
Other suggestions that are under
consideration in the House are taxes
on tea and coffee. and large increases
in the taxes on the importation of
sugar and other articles that are
largely imported. There will be
large increases. too, in the taxes on
whiskey, beer and tobacco. and prob
ably taxes on theater tickets. The
aim is to tax Injuries. not neces-
saries.
Federal taxes have nothing to do
with the State, county, city, town
and village taxes. These also are
likely to be increased, because there
will be many local expenses in con-
nection with the war. Most of the
Eastern States have already appro-
priated 81, 900, 900 or more for such
expenses.

CONGRESS URGED TO
PASS DRAFT MEASURE
This Step Necessary in Order 70
Secure Sufficient Soldiers for
Successful Prosecution
of War

A bill for drafting men for war
service has been introduced into both
Houses of Congress and referred to
the respective committees on Mill
tary Affairs. The bill has been re-
ported favorably to the Senate by
its committee, but the House commit
tee voted to reject it.
1t is estimated that the country
must have 500. 900 men at once so as
to prepare them for service as quick
ly as possible, and that the selective
draft system which has been proposed
is the most democratic and practical
method of filling the ranks. In case
the House fails to reconsider and pass
this bill at once, the President will
very likely appeal directly to the
people and thus procure sufficient
pressure on Congress to bring about
its passage.
One of the main considerations
urged in favor of the draft bill is
that this bill calls definitely for those
men best suited for military service.
young men who are most fit physical
ly and who have fewest dependents;
and this method will thus secure bet
ter soldiers in a shorter time than
would be the case under the volun-
teer system, and will do this without
disorganizing the country's indus
tries.

WOUNDS CAUSED BY
FIRE OF OWN MEN
Further Reports From Elko Are To Ef.
feet That Shooting Wa Result
of Mistake

Further information from Elko on
the shooting in the tunnel west of
that place last week shows that the
wounded corporal probably was the
victim of the gunfire of his own men.
1t has developed that three of the five
shots were fired from the west end Of
the tunnell into which the corporal
had gone with two privates to inves-
tigate a report that some one was in
there. Three soldiers stationed ut the
west entrance of the tunnel fired a
shot each and the two soldiers with
Corporal Murphy fired n shot
each. 1t has developed that none
of the bullets struck the corporal.
the belief being that they struck the
rocks and pieces of the steel jackets
struck the soldier in the legs. One Of
the pieces of steel entered the left side
of the leg and ranged upward. max
ing its exit about five inches high
er up. Another splinter entered
just above the right knee and also
ranged upward, making a very small
triangular shaped wound.
The dynamite that was found on
top of the tunnel apparently was de-
posted several months ago and was
about fifty feet from the top of the
tunnel. 1t was in a box which was
badly weather beaten. The fuse
showed long exposure to the weather
and had partly decayed. The cap on
the fuse was badly corroded.
Corporal Murphy is in a hospital
at Elko and his wounds are said not
to be dangerous.

PRESIDENT APPEALS FOR UNITY

In a stirring appeal addressed to
his fellow countrymen. President
Wilson calls upon every American
citizen-man, woman and child-to
join together to make the Nation a
unit for the preservation of its ideals
and for the triumph of democracy in
the world war.
1.-The supreme test of the Nation
has come" says he; I'VE must all
speak, act, and serve together"
This address. personal in its nature,
is a strong plea especially to farmers
and factory owners to increase their
products. He points out that it will
be an easy task to raise an army and
a navy. but that the great problem
will be the maintenance of these.
Ships must be supplied for carrying
aid to the Allies in Europe. Upon
the farmers and farm laborers. he
points out, will fall to the greatest
degree the task of supplying the
food products and clothing for a
large part of the belligerents, and
more acreage and better farming
methods must be resorted to.
To housewives he likewise appeals
strongly for the exercise of thrift
and economy in the management of
their affairs. and shows the great
and important part that the women
of the country may have in helping
the Nation to carry on successfully
the great struggle for human liber.
ties upon which we have just entered.

Passes Away
DEATH COMES ENTIRELY UNEXPECTED
Was In Usual Health The Night Before. Remains
To Grand Rapids For Burial

The many friends in this city
of Mrs. Theron Lyon were grieved
and shocked to learn Of her sud
den death, which occurred at one
O'Clock this morning from heart
failure. Her death was entirely
unexpected. She had been in her
usual health, attending to her
duties as librarian of the public
library until it closed at the usual
time, five o'clock, yesterday and
spent a very pleasant evening
with her family, being in even
better spirits than common.
She retired at about eleven
o'lock. At one o'clock Mr.. Lyon
was reused by her raising up in
bed. She only spoke a word
and dropped over into his arms.
gasped twice and expired Dr.
o. ID. Platt was summoned at
once but could do nothing. The
remains will be taken to Grand
Rapids, Wisconsin, her former
home, for burial, the family leav-
ing tomorrow morning for that
city with the body.
Mrs. Lyon was one of the best
known women in the city, having
for the past five years been Ii
brarian of the st. Maries Public
Library, in which she took a great
deal of interest. The success of
the library and its growth is due,
in a great measure, to her un-
tiring work and great efforts in
its behalf and her death will be
a great blow TO it as it will be
difficult to find anyone who will
take the interest in it or devote
the time and work TO il that she
did. She was universally liked
by all who knew her and the sym
pathy of a large circle of friends
goes out to the stricken family.
Mrs. Lyon was 81 years old the
1ith day of last June. She was
born at Lansing, Iowa, and moved
with her parents, while still a
small child, to Grand Rapids,
Wisconsin, where she attended
school and resided until she came
/ to this city. She taught school
in Grand Rapids for 9 years and
was married May ID, 1885. to
Theron Lyon. whose family was
one of the first to settle in that
city.
She was a member of the Con-
gregational church of that city
and was prominent in church
