NEW GAMBLING BILL INTRODUCED
Measure Proposes to Compel Sheriffs to
Wreck All Gambling ParaphernaIia

Senator L. R. Thatcher of Eureka
has introduced a bill to prohibit
gambling. 1t is now in the judiciary
committee of the upper House. and
is aimed particularly at slot machines
and also designed, according to its
author. against the card" sharps
who are infesting the State at the
present time.
The bill makes it a misdemeanor to
violate any of its provisions, punish
able by a fine of from $50 to $500 and
byimprisonment of from 80 to 9Odays,
or by both fine and imprisonment.
1t also requires sheriffs to seize and
destroy all paraphernalia used in
playing prohibited games, which in
clude in addition to roulette and faro,
craps and other dice games, all card
games when played for money. 1t
also makes it a misdemeanor for any
district attorney to refuse to prose-
cute or for any officer to fail to make
arrests.
Owners of rooms or houses who
knowingly permit prohibited games
to be operated on their premises also
are culpable and each day that they
allow such games to be played on
their premises constitutes separate
offense.

SAVING THE DOLLARS

Postal savings deposits increased
nearly S.OOO,0 900 last year, Uncle
Sans bank is now custodian of more
than $1OO,OOO,O 900 of the peoples
money.
This in itself is no small matter.
II means that tens of millions of dol
lars that used to be sent by our
immigrant population to banks in
their native countries is now kept
here, swelling our resources and
credit. 1t means that scores OF mil
lions of dollars have been saved by
citizens who used to save nothing.
People who distrusted ordinary banks
trust the Government bank. People
who were timid about ventu.ing into
a big, oppressively dignified and pow
erful bank with their modest savings
are not timid about handing those
savings in at the post Office window.
People who could not open savings
account because the banks in their
vicinity would not let them start
with dollar or two too, find that
Uncle Sam is never contemptuous of
petty deposits. And so the volume
swells at an ever-increasing rate.
The population becomes more thrifty.
And the poor become collectively a
financial power.
Those hundred-odd millions don't
represent at all the full significance
of this popular savings movement.
1t has been found that the postal
banks are in reality feeders of the
private banks. Postal savings when
they reach a large figure are trans
ferred to institutions that pay a
higher rate of interest. And the
habit of thrift fostered by the postal
bank results in strengthening the en-
tire financial system. as well as plac-
ing the personal finances of hundreds
of thousands of citizens on a sounder
basis.

ly conversant with mining conditions,
and hence entitled to speak with au-
thority on questions regarding the
industry in his own State and the
west in general.
There is unquestionably an in
creased activity in mining in the Ne
vada camps" said Governor Oddie
last night. You can put this up
to three palpable conditions = the
high price of metals, improved
and cheaper methods of treating the
ores and the great prosperity IN the
East, that has sent millions of dol
lars into the west for promising
profitable investment"
Governor Oddie added that he be-
lieved the prices of metals would
not materially decline within the
next two years. He expects silver
to reach the 81 mark before the re-
adjustment that must follow the
war ia made, and is confident that
with the worlds copper now sold
ahead for nearly year and repair OF
the damage done in the great world
conflict will sustain the demand for
the red metal in the domestic and
mechanical arts. just as copper has
been an essential in the manufacture
of munitions of.war.

at least an hour, then uncover the bak-
ing dish, and add cupful of rich
cream. Increase the heat of the oven
and cook about fifteen or twenty min
utes longer. This combination should
also be served in the dish in which it
is cooked.
The onion combinations in salads are
numerous, and if blended in delicately
most people enjoy the flavor. For sal
ads always choose the Bermuda onion,
for it is sweeter than any other and
has little if any of the burning tang.
These are salads which have been tried
and not found wanting:
Place on two or three crisply curled
lettuce leaves a bunch of fresh water
cress, and in the center of this a mix
ture of three tablespoonfuls of finely
chopped cabbage to one of Bermuda
onion; serve with French dressing, and
toasted cheese waters.
Slice beets very thin, after they have
been boiled tender, and lay on lettuce
leaves. Sprinkle these with a combi-
nation of finely chopped onion and
green peppers, proportion of half a
cupful of onion to one-quarter cupful
of green peppers. Over this dust a
Iteaspoonful of Parmesan cheese grated
very fine. Serve with French dressing
and buttered waters.
French dressing has been recon-
mended with all of these, but boiled
dressing may be used if much pre-
ferred.

THE GOVERNMENT MAY
OPERATE ALL RAILROADS

Suffice it to say that the United Mine
Workers have entered vthement pro-
test against the personnel of the COM
mittee selected by him and against
some of its acts and methods, and that
liberals who are familiar with Mr..
Peabody's bent of thought and action
regard his selection for this post as
extremely unfortunate. Recently, Pres
ident White of the United Mine Work
ers and five other representatives of
the union have accepted membership
on the committee, but while labor's
interest may now be adequately pro-
public interest can be entrusted to Mr..
Peabody's agency.
Too much Importance should not be
given to the testimony of a witness
representing the United Mine Work
ers, who told the senate committee on
Interstate commerce that the miners
union did not believe the time had
come for the government to take con-
troll of the coal industry. 1t is ex-
tremely doubtful that Mr.. Lewis would
be indorsed in this position if a ref
erendum OF the miners were taken. At
mass meetings and conventions the
coal miners have declared repeatedly
for government ownership. Two fac
tors are to be considered; in most dis
tricts the miners have just obtained
rather favorable new contracts provid-
ing wage increases-the strength of
the union and the prevailing prosper
ity of the coal industry have made the
operators generous in this respect and
Denver labor bulletin., 1917-08-04
By GEORGE P. WEST.

National operation of railroads and
coal mines may be reality in this
country before two years have passed.
The change will come within six
months unless the private owners
show willingness and ability to pool
their resources and to integrate these
industries in the public interest. Thus
far they have been strong in profess
sions of willingness and woefully
weak in performance. 1t is very
doubtful that the railroad executives
and the coal operators can succeed in
Matchmaking their own properties.
They do not sufficiently trust each
other. Each has too much reason to
fear that his patriotic sacrifices will
be taken advantage of by some less
patriotic competitor. 1t is regrettable
that such men as Secretary Lane and
Commissioner Fort of the federal
trade commission should underesti-
mate the factors that render private
ownership and operation of such pub
lie utilities as transportation and coal
mines incompatible with the quality of
public service now demanded of them.
Why should these enlightened public
officials talk to the coal operators
recently assembled in Washington as
tho government operation were an evil
to be avoided except as last resort
Why should they plead with the oper-
ators to accept profit of so cents a
ton, after liberal allowances for labor
and supplies, in order to forestall and
defeat bills now pending in congress

THE "KUN'L JEDGE."

Senator Ollie James tells of "kun1
jedge." an undisputed czar in his
county in Western Kentucky, who dis
posed of cases that came before him
with severity or clemency, according
to their merits in his eyes, and with
out regard to law or precedent.
In one instance, two old negroes
went to law about certain mule,
which each accused the other of hav-
ing stolen. Inasmuch as the case pre-
sented many amusing features, the
"Kun1 Jedge" enjoyed it the first day
as a sort of special performance for
his entertainment; but the second day
he summarily dismissed court, in order
to go with a hunting party.
Now, see heah, Pm tired of listen
in to all that nonsense. One or the
othah of you stole that mule, and its

for government operation? Mr..
Lanes address was an effective emo
tional appeal to the coal operators to
relinquish any unusual profit because
the nation is at war and thousands of
American boys are to die in France.
We can only infer that Mr.. Lane and
Mr.. Fort regard it as a patriotic sac
rifice for the owners to exact toll of
so cents a ton over and above all ex-
pense of labor, supplies and manage
ment, and we cannot escape the fur
ther inference that in times of peace
no such limitation of profits would be
expected of them. 1t is small wonder
the coal operators cheered to the
echo. Public opinion in this country
has reached point where it will re-
gard with grave disapproval and sus-
picion public officials who counsel with
monopolists of public necessities how
best to resist the socializing of these
necessities. Mr.. Fort is member of
a commission that only few days
before had concluded an exhaustive
analysis of the coal industry, involv-
ing an exposure of price fixing and
excessive profits, with strong rec
ommendation for government opera
tion. Yet he tells the operators: &c "
ernment operation of the coal industry
is perfectly certain to happen if YOU
90 not do something very soon. Con-
gress is considering one of the bills on
that subject now. You can avoid it by
being prompt and fair, and the gov
ernment will be more than fair-it
will be generous. Fifty cents a ton
profit is four times what most of you
have been making"
The situation is not improved by the
character of the agency proposed by
Secretary Lane to obtain cooperation
between the government and the pri-
vate owners. His subordinate in the
interior department, Mr.. Van H. Man
ming of the bureau of mines, said to
the operators at the same conference:
"You were called here to see whether
you could help the committee on coal
production to stop if possible the en-
actment of the legislation proposed in
congress. / want to nominate F. S.
Peabody, the chairman of that COM
mittee, to be the Hoover of the coal
situation. Hoover is to handle the
food problem;. let Peabody handle the
coal problem"
Mr.. Peabody is chairman of the coal
production committee of national de-
fense. He is a Chicago coal operator
who has made millions by operating
on a very large scale and selling coal
to the railroads, the Chicago school
board, and other large consumers
