FALLON MANS ROADBUILDING
CONTRACT is TAKEN AWAY

Nye county will have to mosey
along without an improved highway
this year, according to reports from
Carson City which state that the con-
tract awarded L. E. Birney. mayor
of Fallon, for building a highway
from the eastern end of Tonopah for
g distance of fourteen miles toward
the Toyaibe forest reserve has been
Cancelled and new bids will be adver-
tised for. The reason for this action
is the belief of the highway commits
sion that the price is entirely too
low to enable the contractor to carry
out his agreement or come near liv-
ing up to specifications. This means
that the work cannot be completed
until some time next fall.-[Tonopah

in connection with the conflicting
claims over the Adriatic coast. A re-
cent dispatch states that majority of
the commission dealing with the sub
,iect of Grecian boundaries has de-
clared the treaty Of London to be eff
fectivc. 1t is also stated that Ameri-
can delegates have opposed this action
and will insist that the matter be re-
ferred at least to the supreme war
council and probably to the entire
peace conference.
The Italians not unnaturally claim
that the treaty Of London was a bar
gain, their part of which they have ful-
filed. The Jugoslavs, on the other
hand, may rightfully claim that Great
Britain and France, signing that treaty,
had no right to invade their area Of
historical and ethnographic claims,
even though part Of their people were
at the time enlisted upon the enemy
side. This is one of the most trouble
some questions now before the peace
conference. Upon its settlement will
depend in large measure the future
peace of Europe, irrespective of the
organization of league of nations.

Simplify the Tax Return!

Inasmuch as it is altogether prob
able, virtually certain, that the income
tax will be continued in after years,
the government should certainly try to
work out form of return for the
average individual taxpayer that can
be easily comprehended and filled and
computed. At present the individual
taxpayer is helpless in the face of the
formidable sheet of blanks and instruc
tions with which he is furnished. Sure
ly there is some mode Of stating the
scale of payments that will enable
man who has definite income to fig
ure out his rate of payment without
consulting expert advice. For prob
ably 80 per cent of those paying the
income tax the real equation is very
simple, so much income, so much ex-
emption and so much net subject to
tax, with a certain rate up to one point,
another rate up to another, and so on,
If the form were simplifed anybody
capable Of adding, subtracting and
multiplying could make his own return
accurately. But the cross references,
the subtractions, followed by readdi-
tions and sub b-subtractions, cause an ut
ter confusion. In point Of fact, much
time and much labor would be saved
if the government would exact from
each taxpayer merely statement of
his income and exemption claims and
would furnish him with a statement
of his tax or bill, the internal
revenue Office doing its own computa
ton of the tax amounts. In all other
cases the tax is stated to the payer,
and the payer is not required as in
this instance to figure out his own OBJ
legation.

Getting Good and Ready.

The House republicans are showing
the proper appreciation of their oppor-
tunity and obligations. They are al
ready considering. as they should be,
program for the coming special session
what measures should be taken up
first, and in what form presented.
Now is the time Six weeks will
bring us the 1st of May-the date the
more sanguine members of both par
ties have fixed upon for the beginning
of the session. In that period a great
deal in the way of preparation can be
accomplished. The leftover supply
bills can be recast. The more pressing
of new measures can be assigned TO
their proper places.
But this work should 60 on and be
we'll done even if the session should
not begin until the LIST of June. The
point is that the party in power on
Capitol Hill should be ready for busi-
ness whenever the drum taps. There
should be no more delays-no more log
jams-no more attempts to railroad
bills of great length and importance
through the two houses and the confer
ence committees at the eleventh hour.
As The Star stated the other day,
the republicans owe it to themselves
and to the country to start promptly
and start we'll. They have reputa
ton for knowing how to do things.
Last November the people at the polls,
remembering the record, and appre-
ciative of the large order the war has
imposed, turned to the republicans for
service They decided by an impress
siye majority that the far-reaching
problem of reconstruction should at
least be inaugurated by the party then
Offering excellent testimonials Of ca
pacity.
A mandate was issued, and is now
running. When Congress meets the
majority must remember its creator in
the days Of its youth. 1t must show
itself not only willing but ready to
take up and carry forward the bust
ness intrusted to it. There is no prim-
rose path ahead, but rather a rocky
road that resembles the approaches to
Dublin. =
And then next, year is to be consid
cred. If the republicans should "fall
down" at the special session they could
not recover their perpendicular in time
for the regular session; and a period
of turbulence and legislative barren
ness on the eve Of the opening of the
presidential campaign would almost
certainly throw the election to the op-
position.

tion, therefore, has created numberless
debating societies. They meet in club
houses, in the lobbies Of taverns, on
curbstones, on the sides of big roads,
in country schoolhouses. Learned men,

sorts and conditions of men, are Of
fering views about what should, or
should not, be done. There are many
takers and many listeners; and out
of it all. let us hope, we shall get some
workable plans for the future.
Men in Office, and particularly in
legislative Office, charged with the duty
of meeting the emergency, are greatly
interested in the public pulse and how
it is beating, and hence the number of
them now swinging round the circle as

The Salisbury Act Decision.

Justice Gould's decision yesterday
that the salisbury act was unconsti-
tutional does not in all probability
practically affect the local realty situa-
tion. For an appeal has been taken
to the District Court of Appeals, and
unless the case is remarkably expe-
dited decision by that court can hard
1y be expected before the act ceases to
be effective by its own lapse with the
conclusion of peace. Even with the
District Court of Appeals ruling
promptly there remains the United
States Supreme Court, which on mat
ters of constitutionality stands as the
court of last resort, and a decision from
that body cannot possibly pc expected
for many months.
The Salisbury act was passed by
Congress as an emergency measure, to
prevent the custer of tenants under the
"buy or quit demands of property
owners who sought to relieve them
selves of the burden of ownership in
the condition which bore heavily upon
them. Owing to the deadlock between
the two houses, nothing could be ac.
compGshed in the way of practical and
equitable lawmaking on this subject.
Accordingly one paragraph of the SEN
ate measure was taken out and enacted,
with the idea that it would not stand
as the sole legislative product, but to
meet an emergency and designed to
be supplanted later. Owing to the Pc
culiar conditions that existed it has
stood as the solitary safeguard against
undue profteering, and, while not af-
ffording adequate protection to tenants,
has worked out serious hardship to
property owners.
The Salisbury act was very far
from being good measure of law. It
madequately protected tenants and it
gave no protection whatever to own
ers. 1t was we'll enough for the pur-
pose for which it was framed, to meet
an immediate emergency, and if sup
[Planted quickly by well devised equi-
table measure it would have been a
blessing. Standing as it has as the
sole law on the subject, it has remained
es constant reminder of. the failure
Of Congress to function properly as
Che Districts Legislature. Coupled with
Ehe governments slowness in provid-
ing temporary housing for the war
workers who came to Washington by
tens of thousands, it put a seriously
heavy burden upon the permanent pop
plstion Of the capital.
Fortunately the war period is nearly
ended. And this piece of war legisla-
tion will die with cessation of the war
conditions which it was designed to
meet s =

The Secret Treaty of London.

In May, 1915, Italy was induced to
enter the war against the central pow
ers by means of certain concessions
and promises respecting future settle
ments in the event of allied victory.
These promises were framed in the so.
called treaty Of London, the terms Of
which were not published until many
months later. By that treaty Italy was
promised not merely the restoration to
Italian authority Of the so-called "irre-
denta" in the Trentino and the Isonzo
regions, but also possession of the
Istrian peninsula, including Trieste,
Pola and Fiume, and the Da1matian
coast.
Upon the signing of the armistice
with Austria Italy claimed these areas
under the London treaty, the terms of
which had meanwhile become public.
At once a conflict of interests arose
between the Italian and the Jugoslavic
claims. The Jugoslavs, comprising the
Serbs, Croatians, Siovenes and Monte
negrins. asserted ethnographic, histor-
ical and economic rights on the Dal-
mstian coast from and including
Fiume to Albania.
Had all of these nationalities been
enrolled in the war on the allied side
there would have been but compare
lively little difficulty about adjust
ment, but the Croatians and the Slo-
venes had been fighting in the Austrian
ranks, and the Italians assert that they
were among the most energetic of the
enemy in the commission Of outrages
upon Italian soil in the course Of the
Austrian offensive. For many years
Austria and Hungary had assiduously
cultivated hostility between their
Slavic peoples and the Italians.
Now the peace conference at Paris
has reached the point Of considering
