TONOPAH GRAND JURY URGES
INVESTIGATION OF OFFICIALS

The Nye county grand jury applied
to the district court yesterday for
dismissal after having served the
greater part of the year of industry.
The report submitted is the hottest
kind of a proposition ever enrolled
among the records of the district
court as it virtually arraigns every
one connected with the administra-
ton of the law in Tonopah for dere-
LECTION of duty. according to a spec
ial dispatch received by the Reno
Gazette.
The jurors began by alleging that
there would not have been any strike
i IL Tonopah if prosecuting officers of
the county had enforced the provi-
sions of the criminal s~yndicalism
law against the l. w. w. element.
The sheriff and town officers are
told they have made no attempt to
enforce the law regarding bootlegging
or gambling, and that such offenses
are carried on openly in Tonopah.
The report further states that the
actions of the justice of the peace
have not been such as beftted a
public officer, and recommended that
the incoming grand jury take i'm
mediate action to Investigate this
officer"
The bullion tax compromise was
passed up with the statement that
the alleged $500, 900 due by the min
ing companies in unpaid bullion taxes
had been compromised and the ac-
cused mining companies granted i'm
munities from further prosecution.

ORDERS 70
APPEAR AT NIXON

Let 1t be said at the start that
Under Orders" the famous metro
politan dramatic success. which II.
A. Woods will present at the Nixon
on Thursday evening, October 2, is
not a war play. 1t has the great war
as its background, but 1t as a poig-
nantly human and absorbing story OF
people placed against a great tragic
horizon. 1t will be especially ap-
pealing to mothers whose sons have
been in the war; to their sons who
have returned. and to all intelligent
people who are interested In the very
best in the American theater. To
those who call themselves students of
the drama. and to those who are m
bilious of writing plays themselves.
Under Orders" will be a revelation
of dramatic technique which they can
not afford to miss.

FIRE CONSUMES MANY TONS
OF HAY MONDAY EVENING

A spark from an engine set fire to
the meadow on the Gilmore ranch
near Elburz Monday evening and be-
fore 1T was extinguished the flames
had swept over about fifty acres OF
meadow land. and three stacks of
hay were consumed. Word was tele-
phoned to Elko and several cars of
men started for the scene of the fire.
1t is estimated that about eighty tons
OF hay were destroyed. belonging to
George Elmore.
Word from Elko conveys the news
OF another haystack fire on Monday
evening on the xerses Martin hay
held in the South Fork Valley. One
haystack containing about thirty OF
OF hay was burned. and for a time
IL iooked as II the flames would gel
beyond control and sweep the en-
ure Immediate vicinity. 1t is believed
mat the fire was due to a cigarette,
as threshers were there that after
noon, and the fire broke out shortly
after they left.-[Elko Free Press.

SAYS BIG OWNERS
NOT TAXED ENOUGH
Continued from Page One)

improvements were included. This
action was taken after finding an
equalization of other classes of
property, such as banks, live stock,
public utilities, railroads, and so forth
to it's fair cash value, whereas on
sales and mortgage data it was found
that the average assessment value of
lands was not to exceed fifty per cent
of its fair cash value. In this re-
spect the sale transfers of $50 pieces
of town property in Reno on file in
the county recorders Office show the
assessment value averages approx
mately sixty-two per cent, compared
with which more than fifty sales
transfers of ranches in Washoe
county show that land is assessed on
an average of only thirty-three and
one-third per cent of it's fair cash
value.
us it not about time for people
in town to have something to say
about the equalization of taxes? They
pay on approximately double the
valuation in Reno, for example, and
in addition thereto must of necessity
pay for support of their city govern
ment a cent higher that the state and
county rate applicable to land.
"The large land, live stock and min
ing interests are organized and are
attempting to control legislation and
taxation in order to escape payment
OF their share of the cost of gov
eminent. This throws an unjust bur-
den on the city taxpayers. How much
longer will the people permit these
practices?-and is it not time that
vigorous protests should be made to
the state board of equalization"

II will be recalled that on account
of serious over-grazed conditions
within the Santa Rosa division of the
Humboldt National Forest, it was
found necessary to close a portion of
this range against grazing of any
class of stock, says a report of John
s. Case, secretary of the Paradise
Valley Cattlemen's Protective Associa-
ton.
The stockmen of this vicinity and
the Forest Service are to be compli-
mented for the success obtained so
soon after the initiation of the policy.
At first the intent and purpose OF the
closed areas were not entirely under
stood by the settlers and a number OF
stock were allowed to trespass upon
the closed areas and some damage
was done. However. at the first op-
%portunity. the Paradise Cattlemen's
Protective Association thoroughly
went over the details with the forest
service officials and following the
conferences Immediately employed
herders to prevent their cattle from
grazing upon the closed areas.
We are glad to report that during
a recent inspection by forest service
officials. 1t was found that where
last year and previous years there
was nothing but bare ground, now a
dense stand of young trees about two
feet high are growing. The only
portion of the area damaged is where
the cattle were allowed to Craze be-
fore herders were employed.
1t is very clear to every thinking
individual that very material returns
will be received by the settlers in the
way of increased water supply for
their ranches and better range con-
ditions when the areas are again
opened to grazing.
The above is simply another in
stance of what a be accomplished
through cooperation insetad of
fight your neighbor" spirit.
The following communication re-
ceived from the secretary of the as
ISOLATION in indicative of the salts
faction the settlers are deriving by
attempting to better range and water
shed conditions in their community.
Extract from the minutes of this
association, of a meeting held Sep
TENDER 16, 1919: The president, f.
b. Stewart. then suggested a rising
vote of thanks to supervisor c. E.
Favre for having met with the asso-
citation and for the valuable counsel
and advice he had given, to which
the members unanimously responded.

GAMBLING LICENSE AT CARSON
FIXED AT 500 PER QUARTER

The city trustees of Carson City
have had under consideration for some
time the question of fixing the gamb-
ling license for that incorporated
city. There was a question as to
making it high enough to put small
games out of business or making it
low enough to let in the "tin horns"
After reviewing the situation, the
trustees have fixed the rate at 800
a quarter for the games allowed I'M
der the ruling of Attorney-Genera
Fowler. The new ruling will go in
to effect on the first of the coming
month, according to a special dis
patch from the capital to the Reno
Gazette.
At the same time an ordinance for
bidding the playing at the games by
minors raj ordered published. There
has been complaints filed with the
trustees regarding the gambling by
boys under age. Several games have
been running in that city, though
without revenue either to the city or
state. The fixing of the fee at 800 a
quarter it is figured will either put
the small games out of commission or
establish several tables where track
of the attendants can be known to the
officers.

Young Omahan Is Now With
y. s.. Commission in Vienna
Morris Schlafer, After Service With Allied Shipping
Board in Stockholm, Appointed Secretary to
American Commissioner in Austrian Capital.

To be literally transplanted from
midwest, democratic Omaha to dip
lomatic service in Vienna, capital of
Austria, would be a remarkable ex-
perience for anyone. But Morris
Schlaifer, Omaha youth. who has
undergone just such an experience,
seems to take the whole thing as
matter Of course, judging from his
letter. to his family here.
Morris is a graduate of Central
High school and of an Omaha bust
ness college. He went to Washing
ton in 1915, where he secured a po-
sition as secretary to the allied ship
ping commission at Stockholm,
Sweden.
But this proved only stepping
stone to his present position with
the American commission at Vienna.
A chance acquaintance with a man
named Halstead, who was in the
diplomatic service in Stockholm, rip
ened into a staunch friendship and
when Halstead was transferred to
Vienna in the capacity of American
commissioner he asked Morris to
accompany him as his secretary.
The trip to Vienna took the Oma-
han from Copenhagen, Denmark,
through Berlin, Germany, according
to his letters. He was one Of the
first Americans to pass through the
German capital since the Germans
signed the peace treaty.
