WELLS-FARGO LOST
IN SUPREME court

The State of Nevada has won its
fight to force wells-Fargo Express
Company to pay taxes under the State
law. She Supreme Court yesterday
affirmed the decisions of Nevada
courts against the company.
The case just settled by the highest
tribunal of the land was commenced
ip this State more than eight years
ago and has bad its innings in nearly
every district court in Nevada The
first case was brought in Nye county.
in 1910 District Attorney Sanders,
now justice on the supreme bench,
prosecuted it. Then followed suits in
all other counties against the express
company, the latter losing in every
instance.
Wells, Fargo & Company then ap-
pealed to the State supreme court
and, by stipulation among the various
district attorneys, the case brought
and decided against the company in
Humboldt county, before Judge
Ducker, was selected as the one upon
which the test should be made
In 1915, in an opinion read by
Chief Justice Norcross, the conten-
tions raised by District Attorney Cal
lahan on behalf of Humboldt county,
and Attorney General Thatcher for
the State, were upheld
The express company then carried
the matter to the United States Su-
preme Court The result is announced
In press dispatches of Monday, and
means that Nevada will receive a
large sum of money for delinquent
taxes and for penalties. The express
company was represented in both
State and United States supreme
courts by Hoyt, Gibbons & French of
Reno.
BY the decision the contentious of
the State Board of Assessors, wherein
they assessed the property of the de-
fendant company, tangible and intan-
gible, at the rate of $500 per mile, are
also upheld.

KUHL'S SENTENCE
WAS COMMITTED

The board of pardons held an ex-
ecutive session last evening with all
members present, Acting Governor
Sullivan serving in place of Governor
Boyle, to take final action in the case
of Ben f. Kuhl, who was under SEN
tence to die by shooting at the State
prison on Friday of next week.
BY vote of three to two, Governor
Sullivan, Attorney General Thatcher
and Chief Justice McCarran voting in
the affirmative, and Justices Sanders
and Coleman in the negative, Kubl's
sentence was commuted to life i'm
prisonment, and forthwith Warden
Henrichs removed him from the death
cell, where he had been under con-
stant guard the past six or seven
weeks, to the cell house.
AS will be remembered, Kuhl shot
and killed stage driver, Fred N
Searcey, near Jarbidge, just about a
year ago; and though he made no
statement at the time of the trial he
made a confession to the pardoning
board on Monday of this week, in
which he claimed that the proposed
stage robbery was frame-up between
him and the stage driver, and that
when he held up the stage a wrangle
with Searcey ensued, in which he shot
the latter, believing that Searcey had
double-crossed him and was endea-
voring to draw his gun when he
(KhuD fired the fatal shot.
Several other facts concerning the
affray were also given to the board
but for obvious reasons they have
been withheld, and these probably had
lot to do in influencing the board
in its determination.
One fact that Kuhl's confession has
brought out substantially proves the
palm-print theory advanced by the
prosecuting attorneys at the time of
Kuhls trial and which cut a big fig
ure in the case.
The prosecuting officers secured
enlarged photographs of the bloody
marks on the registered mail sack
which Kuhl rifled, and compared them
with photos taken of the line of Kuhrs
palm. The similarity proved almost
astounding and showed the value OF
this manner of evidence.
In his confession Kuhl admitted
handling the sacks and said, though
he did not realize it at the moment.
that he was literally blood-soaked
from holding Searcey's body-[Car-
son City appeal.

COLONIZATION FOR
CARE OF SOLDIERS

Colonization of large tracts of land
by returned soldiers and sailors un-
der the direction and with the aid of
the Federal government is recon-
mended as a solution of many of the
labor problems arising from demobi-
lization by Secretary of Labor Wilson
in his annual report, made public this
week The government should in the
opinion of Mr.. Wilson, establish and
equip individual farms, which should
be linked into community groups.
The war has demonstrated the pa
triotism and loyalty of American la
Dor, the report says. and in the con-
tinuance of the spirit of sacrifice"
on the part of employer and employe
shown during the war. Secretary Will
son believes, lies the hope for the
further attainment and development
during the days of peace of that
democracy for which we have taken
up arms"
The right of collective bargaining.
long recognized by the Department of
Labor, Secretary Wilson declares, has
been more widely established by rea-
son of the war. He adds that "If the
principles upon which that agreement
was founded can endure the stress of
war, it is fair to suppose that even
greater success will attend their ap-
plication during the calmer periods
Of peace"
To solve the labor problems arising
from reconstruction, Mr.. Wilson rec
ommends the continuation OF the la
Dor adjustment agency of the national
war labor board. Agreements have
been effected between labor and en-
ployers through this agency. the re
port says. by which certain principles
have been placed above further dis
pute.
Agricultural areas should be pur-
chased by the Federal government
and added 70 the public domain to
provide land for the carrying out OF
the proposed colonization program
for returned members Of the military
forces. the report asserts. II is pro
posed that administration of the pro
gram be directed by board consist
ing of the heads of the Agriculture.
Interior and Labor departments.
Legislation needed to carry out the
plan. Secretary Wilson believes, will
have to include these provisions:
The possibility of comemrcialized
speculation must be eliminated
Colonists must be given access not
only to land, but to farms; not to the
bare soil. but to fully equipped agri-
cultural plants ready to operate.
The farms themselves must be so
welded, together as to form genuine
communities, by provision for roads
schools and markets. under the gen
eraI supervision OF the Federal gov
ernment.

that regard Senrtor Thomas Ster
ing Of South Dakota as one of TIE
most Industrious. energetic hard
working members Of the senate.
He is on several important commit.
tes, which he regularly and faith
fully attends. He participates in
debates and discussions, and seems
to keep better track Of the run of
legislation than most of US do. He
is a good speaker and q good de-
bator. He is q fine lawyer. as |
have had occasion to know. because
l am serving with him on the judi
ciary committee Of the senate.
In short. / regard him as one
Of the "wheelhorses' Of the senate,
always at work and attending to
his duties and looking after the
welfare of South Dakota. Your
state is certainly fortunate in hav-
ing such an able and energetic SEN
ator as Sterling.'
