Budget System
to Be Published


The Nevada Tax Commission has
sent notices to the governing bodies
of all counties, cities, municipalities,
towns and special school districts
calling their attention to chapter
149, laws of Nevada, 1917, which
provides that the business of all gov
ernmental agencies in the state must
be on cash basis, and that budgets
of estimated expenditures for the
current year must be prepared by the
governing board between the first
Monday in January and the first Mon
lay in April Of each year and pub
lished for two weeks or more in some
county paper; and making 1t unlaw-
full for any county official to author
ize or allow the expenditure OF public
money unless the same has been spe-
cially set aside for such payment
Penalty for failure to observe the
provisions of the budget law is re-
moval from Office by suit instituted
by the district attorney, at the re-
quest of the attorney general, or on
complaint OF any interested party.
The law authorizes the tax commits
sion to prescribe the form of budgets
to be used. Copies of budgets pre-
pared by counties and cities must be
filed with county auditors and re-
corders.

Prohibition Law
Hits at Extracts

Much opposition has developed
in Phoebe to the attorney generals s
ruling on the sale of fiavoring ex-
tracts in the state of Nevada. 1t is
likely that strong protest will be
entered, housewives contending that
this ruling draws too fine line in
the enforcement Of the prohibition
law. Attorney General Fowler's rul-
ing Is as follows:
The Nevada prohibition law linn
its the sale Of preparations contain
ing q considerable percentage of alco-
hol TO the druggist, therefore flavor
ing extracts, which always contain a
high percentage of alcohol, cannot be
sold by other merchants.
''1'he people of the state of Nevada
in adopting the prohibition act were
probably unaware Of the fact that
they we're voting to make this restric,
ton am, however. unable to find
any opening that will permit diff.
fercnt construction of the act as tc

His Parish Covers
Hundreds of Miles

Rev. Percival s. Smithe, pastor of
the Episcopal church at Las Vegas,
claims to have the greatest territory
in the United States outside of Alas
ka that any one man covers in at
tending to ministerial duties. says
the Tonopah correspondent of the
Reno Gazette. His district or parish
covers the comparatively unexplored
lands between Phoebe and Victor
vile, Cal, and from Searchlight to
Tonopah.
Rev. Mr.. Smithe says that passing
the hat is not his chief duty, since
he goes weeks at time without see
ing an offering from any of his no.
madic congregation, and under no
circumstance will he suggest that any
of the temporary deacons pass the
plate for him.
In making Searchlight. which is
without direct stage line, he has to
travel over 1900 miles to cover q
distance which formerly was made
on stage in eighty miles. He claims
to be the champion long distance
sSypilot of Nevada.

Sheep Grazing Bill
Meets Opposition

Sheepmen and cattlemen from all
parts of the state are taking a keen
interest in the Hill bill, pending in
the assembly, which prohibits graz
ing sheep on ranges that have been
used by cattle owners.
The sheepmel are opposed to the
Dill to a man and insist that II con
tains provision that is most drastic
and would prohibit the movement 81
sheep from one location to another
They also object to the priority
clause IN the bill, which they claim
would mean that there would be no
sneep ranges in the state because all
!ha ranges were used by cattlamen
long before there were any sheap in
the state.
The bill is in the committee On AZ
riclliure and several hearings Lave
been held on It.

for homes on the same terms as lands
in other projects, but the government
could within short time prepare
homes for hundreds of soldier boys
who under all other PROJECTS would
have to wait for years for their op-
pCrtunity to secure lands.
I'm, the opinion of the Record the
picr osed organization should confine
lts endeavors entirely to the further
ing OF this project and the securing
OF gcod roads, and not mcddle with
local affairs which are of interest
principally to the town OF Ely, as
such matters are almost sure to bring
about discord within the orgnn.za-
ton. The city officials OF Ely are
perfectly competent to attend TO such
matters"

North and South
State Highway

The plan to use the roadbed and
bridges of the abandoned Las Vegas
& Tonopah railroad seems to be gain
ing headway, as the following from
the Las Vegas Review would indi-
cate:
"Plans for securing support for
the proposed building of a highway
between Las Vegas and Beatty, in
which the roadbed and bridges Of the
dismantled Las Vegas & Tonopah
railroad are to be utilized, was this
week brought to focus, when d
committee composed OF Mayor Haw-
kins and DR.. R. w. Martin from the
local chamber Of commerce presented
the matter to the board of county
commissioners. The proposal is to
purchase the bridges and to make the
road state highway. The proposal
was favorably received by the board
and the clerk was instructed to tele-
graph the Nye county commissioners
and the legislative representatives of
this county asking their best efforts
In procuring necessary legislation to
make the roadbed state highway.
THAT the proposed plan will in all
probability be carried out in its en-
tirety is the general opinion Of the
county officials, provided, of course,
that the required assistance can be
secured from the state. That 1t ID
practically a necessity to southern
Nevada by the closing of rail con-
nectic. nth the northern part of the
state brings the question squarely up
for immediate action at this time.
"Nye county officials have been
asked to cooperate In the plan Of
purchasing the bridges, half the
route being In that county The cost
OF the bridges has been placed In the
nelghborhood of $4,000.

The Pessimist
and the Optimist

"The pessimist who talks hard
times nowadays, should HE himself
to the tall timbers and never come
back" said an old-timer recently.
These calamity howlers missed their
opportunity by not living in Ripche
during the 1907 panic, when money
was scarcer than hens teeth. At that
time all strangers were looked upon
as legitimate prey by steady dwell
ers. But one innocent looking indi-
yidual got the best OF all OF us.
Upon his arrival here his sole re-
source consisted of a five-dollar bill.
He made that last six months and all
at once he disappeared, never to be
seen or heard from again. His meth
cd was simple.
"He would enter a store or restau-
rant or some other place of business,
dollar or so and tender his five-dollar
bill in payment. AS no one in Phoebe
had money enough at any one time
to make the change the seller would
have to charge the amount, the pur-
chaser agreeing to pay when he got
the bill changed. These tactics were
carried on for quite a while, the
stranger in the meantime living Oh
the fat of the land.
Finally, in the course OF time, as
others were bringing small amounts
of coin into the community and
money was getting little more plen-
tiful, this financier evidently feared
that someone would soon be able to
crack his plant, and he made his es-
cape without the knowledge of any
of his numerous creditors, who are
still holding the sack. I tell you
times are booming now"
"All too true" chimed in by
stander; ''but in those days that was
in the realm of high finance. I tell
you we small fry also had our in
nings. Jayless Denton came up from
Caliente to pay us visit. He spent
his last two-bit piece at the restau-
rant for ham and before his return
home. That quarter served as the
medium Of exchange for nearly q
month. The restaurant man spent II
at the garage for gasoline so his GUS
toner could see to eat his meal; the
garage man bought q tire with It al
the supply house; the supply man
spent it at the drugstore for cureall
for insomnia; and after going the
rounds for several weeks 1t finally
purchased a box of manilas at the
postoffice, when the postmaster
much to the dismay OF the business
interests, sent 1t to Washington tc
cover a deficiency in his stamp ac
count Many moist tears we're shei
when that coin disappeared. 1t sure
ly put the Pie in Phoebe whi's 1t wal
among u.s."
