ALL FORMS
Of GAMBLING
UNDER BAN

Following an opinion handed down
by Attorney General Fowler. all of
the slot machines of Nevada were
put out of business. Monday District
Attorney Brockliss received a COPY of
the opinion and immediately instruct
ed Sheriff Nielsen to take the neces-
sary steps to enforce the law. He
visited the different soda water estab-
lishments in the county and put the
iid on all slot machines. This action
puts the finishing touches to the reve-
nue. derived from saloon owner. who
shared $3.50 with the slot-machine
men.
The opinion of the Attorney General
is as follows:
1t is provided by Section "a or Ar
ticle w of the Constitution that mo
5ttery-slrah be-authorized by the state.
nor shall the sale of lottery tickets be
allowed. and the legislature in Sec
ton 64s4-6501, inclusive, has passed
provisions of law whereby the consti-
tutional prohibition aforesaid shall be
maintained.
The supreme court has had occas-
on to construe these provisions of the
organic and statute law in the follow
Ing cases: Elk parte VS.. Blanchard,
0 New. 1O1, and State VS.. Overton, 16
New. 1876.
A lottery is a game of hazard In
which small sums are ventured for the
chance of obtaining greater. (Bell VS..

the distribution of prizes by chance;
reliance upon the result of hazard.

turer's investment of the favors of for

consideration Is paid, and 1t Is deter
mined by lot or chance, according to
some scheme held out to the public
what the party who pays the money
Is to have or it. or whether he is to
have anything is lottery Estates VS..
Clarke, 39, N. II. 1886; Hull VS.. Ruggles
to n. Y. 427.)
ut makes no difference what name
is given the scheme.
A rose by any other name would
smell as sweet:
"A thorne by any other name
would prick as deep.
The courts in various cases have
decided that the operation of a slot
machine is lottery, so that question
is not subject of debate. From a le-
gal standpoint 1t is positive that such
a machine is lottery In the face of
our constitutional provision on the
subject it is likewise positive that the
Legislature cannot pass an act which
will legalize the slot machines. We
as law advisers, cannot construe the
law so as to permit them, and peace
officers in the discharge of their
duties must recognize the unlawful
ness of their existence"

these were then estimated and the
difference showed If there was a loss
or gain.
On September 9TH a county fair was
held. All of the club members were
allowed to display what they had

winners in the best garden display,
Lest lamb display, etc were given a

To raise money for these premiums
Miss Barker went to the business men
of Gardnerville and Minden. She told
them what the children had been do
ing, and the advisibility of giving
Frizes These men responded in very
generous manner.
1t had been estimated that Douglas
end Ormsby counties raised products
and canned products amounting to
SS60.64 This was done by fifty boys
and girls
Each fall a club achievement day is
held at which time the club members
who have completed each project and
turned in satisfactory reports and
stories of their work are given a
sterling silver club pin. At the same
time All Star Club Members are given
an All Star pin. All Star club men,
bers are the three best club members
in each project in the State. They
are members of "a national organiza-
tion of the best club members in the
| nited States There were five from
Douglas county.
1t is expected that this coming year
more boys and girls will join the club
work, reap the results and share In
the good times. Food is needed more
this year than ever. We look to the
children to raise large share. Nd.
Collins, assistant state club leader,
hopes to interest the boys and girls in
raising special gardens. A market will
be secured for these products which
will sell better than the products of
a general garden. He hopes also to
interest the children in raising more
rabbits and poultry products. He has
planned also to secure pure bred pigs
for boys who care to belong to a pig
project.
1t is also expected that the amount
OF products raised in this Valley will
be a great deal larger than last year
This can only be done by having a
lrser number of boys and girls who
will work earnestly. Slackers and
idlers did not win the war, neither
