The blaze was caused by fire
being kindled in an unused CRATE by
some paper hangers, resulting in the
woodwork about the CRATE being

the fire was out before the chemical

In the wreck, which occurred on

TO PERMIT POLL TAXES TO BE
USED ON HOME ROAD WORK

Among the beneficial laws which
have passed the Legislature is Sena-
tor Griffiths bill providing that poll
taxes collected in towns or cities may
be applied to use on roads within the
district where collected AS every city
and town in this State has suffered
the loss of liquor license by prohibi-
tion, this will in a measure compen-

went to the county AS State and
Federal governments are taking over
the highways in the counties, the use
of poll tax money will be available
in the cities. The city is benefited by
this law, as it will leave a consider

through licenses. When it is consid-
cred that the coin must be applied ia
roads, it makes it available for that
purpose only. The more poll tax col

BILL Is K1[tH3/
Times THIS YEAR

OF the various bills and resolutions
introduced at this session of the Ma
vada Legislature, the percentage
which has found its way to the Gov
ernor for signature is very small.
Fifty-six State documents, in all, have
been delivered to the executive. OF
these, IL are resolutions and memo
rials, and IL are purely local meas
ures. Direct appropriations carried
by the bills which have reached the
Governors Office amount to $153,060.
An action of rather strange interest
occurred Thursday in the Assembly,
when the committee of the whole re-
ported unfavorably on Senate Bill No.
As, which is the third draft submitted
to this Legislature of the bill provid-
ing for refunding money to those who
contributed to the erection of the
presidents cottage at the University
of Nevada As one Carson City news
paer remarks, this proposition has
been STEADY visitor since 1901" but
three introductions of it into one Leg

4 PER CENT BONDS

The following telegram from Car
ter Glass, Secretary of the Treasury
explaining tax-exemption features oi
the Victory Liberty Loan act, has
been received at the Federal Reserve
bank at San Francisco. 1t answers q
question which has been many times
asked in Winnemucca during the past
week, and also gives motive of a fur
ther conversion privilege Of First and
Second Liberty Loan bonds into bonds
bearing higher interest:
ut is perhaps not generally under
stood that under the terms of Sec
tion 2(a) of the Victory Liberty Loan
act. the interest received on and after
January 1, 1919, until the expiration
of five years after the termination of
the war, on an amount of bonds of

Second Liberty Loan converted and
unconverted. the Third and Fourth
Liberty loans. the principal of which
does not exceed $4,000 in the aggre-
gate. owned by an individual, part
nership, association or corporation,
will be exempt from surtaxes, excess
profits and war profits taxes now or
hereafter imposed by the United
States, upon the income or profits of
individuals, partnerships, associations
or corporations.
mot only is this exemption in ad-
dition to all other exemptions hereto
fore conferred. but ii is independent
of any subscription to the Victory
Liberty Loan, and is Immediately eff
fective. The Victory Liberty Loan act
also contains a provision authorizing
the Secretary of the Treasury to ex-
tend the privilege of converting 4 per
cent bonds of the First Liberty Loan
converted and per cent bonds of the
Second Liberty Loan into4A per cent
bonds, the higher interest rate to be

COUNTY DIVISION
Big BET AT CARSON

The county division fight was taken
up yesterday in the Senate, the action
taken being that the bill was referred
to the judiciary committee. This was
done only after Senator Friedman had
strenuously attempted to have the
bill sent to the Humboldt county dele
gation-which is himself. Senators
Ducey of Esmeralda county and Ken
ney of Storey county were the takers
in favor of referring the bill to the
judiciary committee.
A telegram received this afternoon
states the bill will be considered by
the committee on Monday and prob
ably will be reported out the same
day.
The judiciary committee is COM
posed of President pro tenn Chaplin of
White Pine county, Senators Ducey
of Esmeralda. Campbell of Lincoln,
Hesson of Elko and Cowles of
Washoe.
The Winnemucca contingent re-
naming in Carson City to protect
Humboldt county's interests consists
of Messrs. Brandon, Bell, Summerfield
and Salter. Latest reports from there
are, in substance, that the chances of
keeping Humboldt county intact are
much brighter.

Unless there is radical change in
the senatorial lineup, the county di-
vision bill creating the county of Per-
shing out of the southern portion of
Humboldt county, with Lovelock as
the county seat, will pass the upper
house and be sent to the Governor
for signature, says the Reno Ga
zette's special correspondent at Car
son City. The bill passed the Assem-
bly, Wednesday and will soon come
up for final determination in the Sen
ate. AS usual in such cases, more
than the bare merits of the creation
of new county has become involved
Lovelock controls the Humboldt coun-
ty vote in the Senate and a vote in
the Assembly. and trading has begun
under direction of the shrewdest
political managers in the State, in
which other interests expect to reap
reward from delivering certain
strength of the Lovelockers.
AS the situation now stands, Love-
lock has enough votes on her side to
pull the bill through the Senate. The
Winnemucca forces understand this
clearly, but have not abandoned the
contest by any means and will fight
division to the end, hoping to break
the lineup that has been negotiated
in the Senate.
Meanwhile, both sides are camping
in the capitol. and not moment
passes without faithful guard being
on hand to watch every proceeding
in the Senate From negotiations
with their own members, activities
have been transferred to representa-
tives from other counties, several of
whom have found their own particu-
lar interests drawn into the struggle.
The understanding is that il the
division bill passes the Senate the
Governor will sign it. following the
procedure that the matter is one prop
erly to be decided by the Legislature.
