LEGAL NOTICE.

STATE OF WISCONSIN
IN CIRCUIT COURT FOR GRANT

Plaintiff,
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1918-06-19

In a recent loyalty meeting held by
the Lansing Masonic lodge, in the
course of an address Mr.. Thomas gave
expression to the following true and
solemn sentence: mo one who has
not sent some loved one-father, son,
husband or brother, as the case may
be-to the service of the country at
this critical time has a right to boast
of service or a right to complain
against hardships or personal sacri-
flee. Some of us think we are suf-
fering in consequence Of this war,
and perhaps some of us have been
slightly Inconvenience, but none of
us truly have a right to complain
when he contemplates with which
those bear the extreme sacrifice of
loved ones who have marched away
to the defense of democracy.-De Soto
Argus.

A drafted Indian came back from
the training camp to the reservation

replied: yeah, me know; me fight
to make whole damned wOrl Demo

have been under way for sometime e
between the governor and prorli-

concluded. 1t should be stated that
Mr.. Cases long connection with the

CLARK COUNTY WANTS
NEXT DISTRICT JUDGE
Las Vegas Review Intilnates
AS Much-In Case Hor-
sey Quits Bench.

Clark and Lincoln counties are to
be reckoned with in the future in
matters political, and it would seem
tfi;ss. JuGge l,orscy mas his lines we'll
laid for the Democratic congression-
al nomination. now. But then,
getting down to local affairs again,
who would Governor Boyle appoint
to the district bench in the event
of Judge Horsey retiring? Here is a
political nut for local lawyers to
crack: Lin coin county Of course,
would advance VIM. E. Orr, but with
a congressman from Lincoln county,
where does Clark come in? 1t would
hardly be fair to seek Louis Spell
lier's advice, he of the Reno Gazette,
although he seeks to have corner
in all political fences built in Neva-
da we even believe he builds some
of them himself. Still, he might be
able to enligthen US on matters 80
distant from dear old Reno.
And that reminds US thai Harley
A. Harmon Is boing shaunted from
pillar to post in the political arena
lately, and after that little trip to
Carson City has nothing more en-
tertaining to say about what may be
or may not be in state affairs than
the proverbial calm.--Clark County

ELY BUSINESS MAN
TALKS ABOUT ROADS
Tells of Importance of Route
To Las Vegas Through
Lincoln County.

A. G. Burton, an Ely business man,
recently made trip from the copper
camp and in a letter addressed to
] s. Wisner of Las Vegas, published
in the Age, tells this story of the
trip:
II presume you will be interested
in knowing how the road Is for auto.
ing to Ely from Vegas via Moapa and
through Double Canyou---this should
be called the DEVILS canyon.
THE roads are fair from Las Ve-
gas to Baldwin's ranch, about seven
miles from Moapa; after leaving the
ranch distance of perhaps two
miles, we started up the wash; then
we found extremely bad roads for a
distance of perhaps ten or eleven
miles or until we had passed through
Double canyon The sand In these
canyons caused US consldera ole
trouble but we managed to get
through by doing a little digging.
After we passed through the can
yons, the roads were much better but
they need fixing before tourists can
be routed that way. l noticed that
some surveying had been done near
the road at point about six miles
north Of Coyote Springs and from
there to the top Of the divide leading
into Pahranagat valley.
If Lincoln county could be induced
to expend about three or four thous-
and dollars, their part of the road
could be put in fairly good condition
Clark county would only have short
distance to go in repairing their end
of it to where the road must be re-
paired before autos can travel over
t. In safety.
The distance to Las Vegas from
Hiko to Groom and Indian Springs
is 144.9 miles: the distance to Hike
from Las Vegas via Moapa, Double
Canyon and Pahranagat valley is
144.1 miles There is only s. of a
mile difference in the two routes.
However, the route via Moana and
Pahranagat valley is the logical way
to go provided the roads are repair
ed. There is plenty of water along
this route; the scenery is more attrac-
tive, and tourists going over this
route will pass through a valley that
is sportsman's paradise. There is
on abundance Of quail and on Pah-
ranagat Lake, there are all kinds OF
duck. geese. brant, etc.
IF you can induce the county COM
missioners to fix the road so that it
is passable, your city will undoubted-
|. reap the benefit that rightfully be-
longs to her. The cost Of repairing
the road will be a small item in COM
psrison with the returns that will be
left in your city by tourists.

(By Spelier in Gazette)

RENO, Jan. 19-Special session
talk still is in the air about the state
capitol, and Gov. Boyle says it is en-
tirely within the realm of possibility
and might be said to be probable that
a special session will be determined
upon. This will depend on many
things, among them being the result
of conference to be held between
the governor and Attorney-General
Thantcher relative to changes that it
is thought may be necessary to the
election law in order to permit New
ada's fighting men to exercise their
franchise and legislation designed to
eoualize the burden to be borne by
citizens of the state in the way of
subscriptions to Liberty loans and
other drives for war funds.
The governor makes it plain, how
ever, that the session. should it be
found necessary to call one, will be
for the purpose of cutting down the
running expenses of the state rather
than adding to the cost necessary to
conduct it's affairs at the present time
Among the subjects that probably
will be taken up in case the special
session Is decided upon, the governor
mentions the following:
Changes in the election law, pro-
vided any are found necessary.
Railroad taxation, which would be-
come necessary in case the compan'
les are allowed to deduct income and
excess profits taxes from their net
income.
Legislation that will equallze the
burden occasioned by subscription:
to Liberty loans and other war funds
Curtailment of expenses required
to conduct the state government, In
cluded in which would be reduction
in the expenses Of the various com
missions.

Spc|iGr Dishes Out
More State Politics

Legislation to take care of deficits
which various departments of the
state government are facing.
The question of railroad taxation is
considered by the governor to be one
OF the most serious matters confront
ing the state at the present time.
Should the government decide on any
change that would effect the assess
ed valuation of railroads or should
the roads be permitted to deduct their
income and excess profits taxes from
their net incomes it would result in
reducing the amount it was estimat-
ed by the tax commission to raise by
about one third. Property at the pres
ent time has been assessed on q bas-
Is or 80 per cent of the full cash
value. The federal tax of railroads
represents about one-third Of their
total assessed valuation, and assess
ments on railroad properly in Nevada
represents about tlirty-four per cent
of the entire amount of Nevada's in
come from taxation.
Should the deductions for excess
profits taxes be permitted it would
Dean that either the state tax rate
would have to be increased to meet
the deficiency that would result or the
state tax commission would be called
upon to establish the assessed valua-
tion Of property at something in OK
cess of tho full cash value The gov
ernor says it is questionable II the
tax commission has authority to do
this under the present laws.

are any changes needed in the elec-
ton laws hangs in the balance the

Judge Horsey's Candidacy
1t Is not likely that Judge Horsey
OF Lincoln and Clark counties will
have clear field in his effort to
land the Democratic congressional
nomination, In spite Of the report
that Ed. Caine has indicated that he
is willing to abandon the fight under
certain conditions. The three south
ern sister counties, Nye, Esmeralda
and Mineral, according to authentic
report, are getting back OF Charles
Evans OF Mineral county and In all
probability he will be one of Horsey's
active opponents. Evans has plen-
ty OF money, two essential elements
in a political campaign. He Is one of
the owners OF the Wall Street mine
in Mineral county and Is associated
with A. H. Howe and Walter Norris

was u delegate to the Democratic con-
