RANGER HAS fine

new LOAN TASK
In Spite of Losses by Drought
Says Gust Tell Us
How Much"

Down In West Texas and In South.
ern Arizona and New Mexico they
have had two years of drought. Cat
tie have starved in large numbers
while the rest have been driven off
the range and sold for what the Ian
gushing rancher could get for them
because there was no feed. Then, the
other day. a representative of the
Treasury Department arrived in FL
Paso and called a meeting of Liberty
Loan county chairmen from these az
flicted districts to discuss the coming
Victory Liberty Loan. They left their
ranches and went to the meeting In
FL Paso.
The Treasury Department man knew
what they were up against but told
them the government was going to
float its last Liberty Loan to pay for
finishing the war He didn't go very
strong because he knew hat the con.
~stituents of these men. in fact these
men themselves, had had no income
for two years. He told them he knew
it. Then came a reply that brought
tears to his eyes. A tall. skinny.
weather-beaten Texan unkinked him.

"All we want to know, sub. is how
much the government wants from us
or the Fifth Liberty Loan. and we will
give it-within reason" He sat down.

No doubt ii is quite true that if a small onequarter oil Humboldt (meanng
the Lovelock corner) could divide the county % as to secure IL per CEN oil
the tax income, such an arrangement would appeal to some people al a fnan-
.cialy advantageous m Just how many would approve the ethics Of such a
tic say the discarded three-quarters. reduced to 40 per cent of the taxes. would
look upon the transaction with dsfavo. Indeed, it is quite likely they would
protest against it with their votes.
When the majority of taxpayers in the northern part of Humboldt county
contemplate the proposition of a set of hghbinders in the Lovelock valley
they ae apt to begin % wonder just how far these Harrimans and vanastor-
bns have gone with their scheme, to make them think it will be possible to
get away with it Our reliable information is to the effect that many Love
lock valley ranchers are utterly opposed, and with good reason. to the county
division scheme.
The scheme, long known to be a-brewing.h as lot developed sufficiently IS
yet to permit a glimpse Of just how Loveock will proceed. 1t seems nom
sense. o the face of things, to believe three-quarters of the population will
vote to give away more than one-half of their taxes. in addition to a $4,000
road bond issue. to people who are about to part from Is forever-and are not
leaving any promissory notes behind. Lovaock must have a plan, however,
which she believes can be put across" Perhaps she is overestimating her
popularity outside her W corporate limits-there is n o doubt tut what she
is popular enough with herself.
1t is hard to see. for thing, why Inlay or Mill City would wan o be
removed into a county with the county seat at Lovelock, when inhabitants of
those places I'M ito winnemucca-a neare and better town-to visit and
trade. And to go a step further away, to Sulphur, where Lovelock people
endeavored to get signatures to their petition to limit the costo of a court house
to $4,000. it was reported here last week, by the superintendent of the Sui
phur mine, that not a signature was secured in that camp. Where does Love
lock expect to get her division votes-or is the Nevada Legislature going to
do the whole thing for Lovelock. through the influence Of. Il State senator?
Whatever may be the answer to all the surmises. m thing lis apparent:
The majority of Humboldt county must secure the Initiative" Is the fighting
appeal as poetic retributon would be for greater Humboldt county to start
a movement TO secede from Lovelock, by fencing her off in a nice little corner
tn upper line of which would be just below Humboldt House, and giving her
just what she is entitled to. Let her run a county to her hearts content
without any greater proportion oft tax receipts than she has always contributed
A majority vote cal easily be secured on that proposition.
One thing is sure-the delegation which went to Carson City to lobby for
the court house bond issue authorization will have its hands full for a time

USE YOUR HEAD

Sometimes when a man wants to
buy our possessions 1t is well to in.
quire into his reasons for making the
purchase. Perhaps that which he
wishes to obtain is of greater value
than we realize, especially when the
purchaser seems to make his hveli,
hood by acquiring the commodities OF
articles he seeks.
Advertisements to buy Liberty
Bonds never explain why the adver'
tiser wants the bonds. 1t might be
astute to reason that he wants the
bonds because they are going to bring
him a profit Eel and above the price
he is willing to pay for them.
Likewise when a man asks you to
get in on the ground floor of a new
enterprise and offers to trade you So
curities in the venture for Liberty
Bonds, common sense should indicate
that the Liberty Bonds are worth
more than the securities he seeks to
trade, else he would not be willing to
make the transaction.
Liberty Bonds are the best invest
ment In the world today particularly
for the small investor. Men expert
enced in finance know this. Four and
one-quarter per cent guaranteed by the
government of the United States il
much more than 6 per cent offered as
interest on the securities Of some
private corporation apt to be wrecked
overnight by crooked management.
Don't sacrifice your Liberty Bonds.
Sacrifice something else. Wear old
clothes, if necessary. But hold your
Bonds not only al a measure Of
patriotism but for your own financial
good. More than that. buy more than
you think you can handle OF the next
and last Liberty Loan.
When capital catches up with the
flood of government securities, Liber-
ty Bonds will go above par.

Warming AGAINST
FAKE TAX EXPERTS

The collector of internal revenue
for this district makes the following
statement regarding the letter Oh
warning against fake experts sent
out from Washington some time ago:
Taxpayers should not allow them
selves to be imposed upon by stran-
gers who claim to be income tax ex-
perts.' They should discriminate care
fully between really helpful authori-
tative advice in tax matters, and the
irresponsible brand peddled under
glittering pretenses.
ut has come to my attention that
certain of these so-called income tax
experts have been ~resorting to adroit
methods of advertising, styling them
selves 'Fedral tax experts In this
connection l desire to say that the In
ternal Revenue Del sent has moth
ing for sale. All official literature OF
an educational natus furnished the
taxpayer absolutely nee.
within a comparatively few days
a large number of trained deputy col
%lectors, agents and inspectors will be
sent out through the district to assist
taxpayers in filing their returns. This
official advisory service will be en-
tirely free to the taxpayer, who must
bear in mind that the time for filing
return and making initial payment

WORK FOR THE SECRET SERVICE

Since tn beginning OF the val the making and distributing of scandalous
rumors, once confined to local sewing circles. has become a national industry
of wild scope and with branches in foreign countries. Highly accomplished
in this noble art are the persons who yer formerly pacfss or proGermans,
and who now pose as Bolsheyists, in which capacity they AVE adopted the
primitive methods of the village gosips and raised them to the nth power
of mendacity and malevolence. The d-fashioned sewng-ercle scandal usu-
ally had some foundation to work Oh. If it coupled the names of Deacon
Perkins and Elmira Larrabee it was because the two had sung from the san
hymn book at the Friday evening meeting. But the Bolshviki fashion their
local rumors from whole cloth and are always quick to welcome those of
foreign manufacture Is soon as they reach our shores, and give them imme-
date and nationwide currency.

AMERICAS DEBT
SMALLER THAN
OTHER POWERS

In the light of the following off,
cial figures. Americas ability to
easily absorb the Victory Liberty
Loan cannot besquestoned:
The entire indebtedness Of the
United States today is less than Z
per cent of the national wealth, or
about s170 per capita
Some of the national debts of
other great powers as compared to
national wealth are:
Great Britain--44.3 per cent
France --41.25 per cent
austria per cent
Germany --3S.7 per cent
Germany's debt is really greater
as the above figure Is exclusive Of
the ninth German war loan and any
indemnities she may have TO pay.
Japan is the only big nation with
a lower per capita debt in relation
to its wealth than the United States.
