GOVERNMENTAL EXTRAVAGANCE
Report No. 1S1 on House Resolution 1855 - A Bill to
Repeal the Housing Act-Courtesy of c. ]. Thompson

Some time after the signing of
the armistice, the Senate passed
joint resolution which in substance
provided for the immediate cessation
CT all work under the housing ac,
and for the salvage of all property
which had been acquired. When this
Senate joint resolution came to the
House and was referred to this COM
matee, very thorough investigation
was made and the committee con-
cluded that it would be for the best
interests of the Government to com
plete % of the existing projects and
sell them in their completed state,
believing that the Government would
realize more In the way of salvage
by pursuing this course. The United
States Bureau of Housing and Trans
portation, which was the agency un-
der the housing act to carry out its
purposes, knowing from the action of
the Senate and the action of this
committee that it was the desire IF
Congress that said bureau should
cease to function at the very earliest
possible day; that their force should
Immediately be reduced to the mini
mum, and that no new work should
be engaged in, took no steps to make
any substantial reduction of force,
engaged in new construction work,
but, on the contrary, increased sal
aries, and did other things indicating
that these bureau officials considered
themselves to be permanent govern
mental institution.
On the 1st day of April, 1919, near
lv FIVE months after the signing Of
the armistice, this bureau had over
G00 persons on it's pay roll, about one
half of whom were at the Washington
office and the remaining one-half
were scattered over this country.
On the 18th day of June, 1919,
more than seven months after the
armistice was signed, this bureau still
bad SAL persons on its pay roll, 228
of whom were at the Washington Of
fee and 103 in the field.
With this immense force in the
WASHINGTON office the bureau has a
large part of one of the most magni-
fcent Buildings in Washington rent
ed for its use at more than $4,000
per annum.
This bureau has a committee of its
own officials whose duty it is to re-
gulata salaries, but it appears that
all the regulation has been the raising
Of salaries. Since the armistice many
salaries have been raised.
Here follows list of "a persons
whose salaries the committee above
-aee''rad to have raised in amounts
ranging from $500 to $240O, to q
raise from $4,000 to 1896. This
! list in only partial.
The committee reports further

the bureau cease to function at one,
and that the work Of disposing of th'
buildings on hand be turned over t.

IL. G. Rogers, executive Secretary
Of the Ohio Farm Bureau Federation
makes these pointed statements in a
crcrlar issued to the farmers of the
State:
"The business Of farming is the
only great industry that is utterly
unorganized and unincorporated.
Fifty years ago the farmers were
over one-half of the total population
and had an equal voice in public
affairs.
Today the city people outnumbei
us by far and have what is of more
Importance than numbers. They
have organization.

no five year period FOR the last forty
years, except the four years of worlC
war just passed, have the farmers o1
this country as a whole, earned ovel
ten cents per hour for their Labor
and 21A per cent on their invest
ment in land and equipment, afteI
allowing for soil depletion.
Agriculture is the great basic in
dustry upon which the welfare of al
the rest Of our people depend.
The conditions above stated show
this great industry to be not on ;
sound and safe basis.

TWO PROPERTIES DEVELOPING
VEINS; CONTRACTS LET

j. w. Ferguson left today for the
Haystack Mining Company's property
situated about seven miles from Jun
go. Mr. Ferguson has secured con-
tract to sink to a depth of 110 feet on
the shaft of this property. The shaft
is already down fifty feet and the new
work will be in the form of initial
development. to determine more ac-
curately, the extent of the ore body
known to exist. This company has
recently been reorganized and is said
to be one of the best prospects in
this section.
The Richland Mines Company, Of
which Mr.. Ferguson is secretary,
recently let contract for 100 feet or
more of crosscut work to intersect
two parallel veins on that estate
This work is well under way now.

BASEBALL CLUBS DANCE
SCHEDULED FOR TONIGHT

For the first time in several weeks
devotees of dancing will have an op-
portunity to enjoy their favorite pas
time tonight. The Winnemucca base
ball team is to sponsor the affair and
dancing will commence in the Nixon
about $3.50 o'clock.
The baseball boys find it hard to
break even on games played in this
vicinity. Distances are great and
railroad fares high. Sufficient tickets
to defray these costs are difficult to
sell. The fund created by business
men before the season opened is dis
appearing somewhat after each game
ard the dance tonight is given in hope
that the bank balance may be in
creased
So Winnemuccans are being urged
by team members today to be on hand
at the Nixon this evening. They point
out that breeze has been blowing
this afternoon and the evening prom
lses to be cool. Shirtwaists, of course,
will be in order. Good music has
been arranged for.

ASSOCIATION WILL
BUILD GOOD FIELD

Subscription lists are being circu-
lated by the Business Mems Associa-
tion today for the purpose of securing
further funds to continue promoting
and building an aviation and race
track field" The association is pay
ing for work done on the field behind
the county hospital, working in con-
junction with the city and county gov
ernments to the extent Of using road
and street machinery necessary.
When seen this morning. Secretary
Bosch of the association said it was
not the intention to merely clear the
land Of brush for the purpose Of pro-
viding a landing place for the four
airplanes expected here shortly. I'VE
realize" he said. that a permanent
airplane landing field must be estab-
lished in Winnemucca. Planes are
bound to come here in increasing
numbers as time goes on.
"At the same time why not put in a
dCC tldch duu JAIL 8kOuuus E<ihO
wants county fair; Reno has races
and rodeos; Tonopah has big Fourth
of July celebrations, with drilling
contests. Winnemucca has celebra-
tions and no place to adequately
stage them. Horse racing is popular
in this country, with plenty of horses
to race. We can fix up a field here
that will be a good one.
"Of course, it will take time and
money. The ground is soft now. but
an automobile can be run over it
anywhere. For the airplanes we are
graveling a strip forty by six hundred
yards, for a starting runway. If it
turns out that use, fall and spring
rains do not pack the ground sufi-
ciently for the ball grounds and race
track we can haul enough clay to fix
them up in good shape. Liberal sub
scriptions are coming in rapidly and
it looks as though we will have plenty
of money to complete the work"

ELK0 COUNTY MAY
UNDERGO TRIMMING

More county carving will be sought
at the next session Of the legislature.
according to reports from Elko and
Carlin. According to the plans or
residents of Carlin. which have not
been given much publicity so far, It II
prospcsed to cut on piece of Elko
county at Moline. on the west side
Of the county, join this piece to
Eureka county and make Carlin the
county seat Of the enlarged Eureka
county.
Concerning the proposed division
the Elko Independent says:
Ha! ha! Jack Dalton. we have thee
with the papurz! Jack is a Carlinite
and he is sneaking around the bush
with proposition to bust a piece Of
this county OF at Moline and tack it
onto Eureka county and make Carlin
the county seat. Wouldn't it Zap
your sails. the progressivism that's
behind these Carlin gentlemen? Only
a short time ago they put in an elec-
trio light plant, or tried to rather, and
now that they have city lights they
want to be a county seat. Well. II
Carlin knocks OF piece Of Elko
county at Moline and Brother Phil
and his cohorts start hammering US
from the Wells direction we are like
to have q merry bombardment here
abouts for awhile. But the Carlin
hunch is given as straight dope and
the political powers that be. who ex-
pect to keep Carlin down had better
begin setting the alarm clock for
about four g.m.. for evidently the lit
tie railroad town is of in a bunch
with mighty good idea to work on.
In addition to that proposition she
has little old Eureka right by the
scrutf Of the neck for as long as Sex
ton runs Eureka with his little old
steam pot railroad. Eureka will al
ways be relic Of by-gone days.
