The political expediency of this move is obvious when it is re- called that the Demoractic sue cess in 1916 was in no small measure due to the votes of women.
 There is no longer any ques- tion as to the ability of women to accomplish things through organized effort. An interest ing illustration of this was given in our own State last spring when the National Fed eration of Woman's Clubs met in Hot Springs. The scope of work presented and the ex- cellent manner in which it was dispatched were convincing proof even to the most in- credulots that women can grasp world problems, that they do possess initiative, courage and sound judgment and that they can follow an issue to success ful conclusion. The world wal. has reversed the old maxim
The Monticellonian., 1919-05-02

that the home is woman's world
 to mean the world is woman $
 home. Women were able dur
 ing the war to render service
 that was everywhere recongniz-
 ed and to day are helping sub-
 stantially in the solution of the
 problems of readjustment and
 reconstruction. It has been demonstrated that with train ing and experince women excel in working out matters of de- tail or the specific minutia of an enterprise hence their cooperation in time of crisis be- comes invaluable.
 We believe 1t is only a ques- ton of time until all the states will freely and gladly extend the right of suffrage to women. Indeed there are only twelve of the states that still deny women all form of suffrage while there are thirty-six states that have granted 1t in whole or in part.

RELIEF IS PROVIDED
FOR H0MESTEADER

Mrs. Mary Bray, register of the
Carson City land office, has received
a circular calling attention to the
fact that clause in the agricultural
appropriation act of July rs, 1913.
provides as follows:
THAT any homestead settler or en-
tryman who, during the calendar year
1919, finds it necessary to leave his
homestead to seek employment in
order to obtain food and other neces-
saries of life for himself. family, and
work stock, because of great and
serious dought conditions, causing
total or partial failures of crops, may.
upon filing with the register and re-
ceiver proof of such conditions in the
form of a corroborated affidavit, be
excused from residence upon his
homestead during all or part of The
calendar year 1919, or the current
year of such homestead which may
fall principally in the year 1919. and
In making the final proof upon such
an entry absence granted under this
act shall be construed as consecutive
residence by said homesteader."
"A person who is granted leave
under this act will obtain credit for
residence, during the time Of his alb
sence, as though actually living up
on the entry. If this absence is for
a period during which certain
amount of cultivation would have
been required, under the provisions
of the HOMESTEAD law, he will be given
credit as for cultivation also during
the time of absence.
THE act applies to entrymen, only
il they have established residence
upon their claims. 1t also applies to
settlers who have not made entries"

LOCAL CONDUCTOR
INJURED IN WRECK

Conductor Elmer Campbell OF this
city wes injured last night at 1886
o'clock when two Western Pacific
trains collided in the yards at Elko.
Campbell was brought to winnemucca
this afternoon on train number five
and taken to his home. His injuries
are not serious, although his face
and limbs are badly bruised and cut.
The circumstances of the accident
are rather unusual. Campbell and
Brakemen Yancey and Hibler had
completed making up their train and
were ready to start for Winnemucca.
The train was heavy and Engineer
Lorenz was backing up to get an
other start.
In the meantime another Western
Pacific freight train, in charge of
Conductor McTaggart. Brakemen
Baker, Holton and Burke and Engi-
neer Marr had pulled into the Elko
yards. After cutting of their caboose
they backed into the sidetrack oc-
cupied by Campbelps train, a steel
gondola car being on the rear end.
Conductor Campbell was on the
platform of his caboose and when he
saw the other train approaching he
endeavored to avoid a wreck by pull
ling the air, but he stayed on too
long. The trains crashed together
and when it was all over it was
found the steel gondola had left it's
trucks, demolished the caboose and
was resting on the caboose trucks.
Campbell was caught between the
gondola and the caboose as they came
together.
Investigations are being held here
to determine who is responsible for
the smash-up.

HUMBOLDT COUNTY'S
TAX RATIO HIGHEST

The necessity of increasing the
total assessed valuation of the state
from s19S.00O,0O0, as it now stands
on the rolls, to approximately $685.
100000 in order to provide for the
large appropriations made by the last
legislature has brought up again be-
fore the state board Of equalization
the ever recurring question of the
value of ranch lands in the different
counties.
1t seems to be the general opinion
that fairly good state equalization
has been arrived at as between in
dividuals and between counties on
most classes of property, except real
estate. Livestock, banks, auto
mobiles. merchandise stocks and pub
lie utilities are fairly well equalized,
but there is a wide divergence of
opinion among assessors as to the
proper valuations of real estate, par
ticularly OF ranch lands, throughout
the state. Each assessor appears TO
think that, while the lands of all
counties are assessed below their ac-
tual values, in his particular county
they are assessed more nearly at their
real value than in any other. This
has led to considerable controversy
among the assessors, but as yet no
decisive action. The assessors of
Lyon county, last week called atten-
tion to what he considered an un-
warranted difference between the as
sessed valuations of certain lands of
a similar nature in Lyon and Douglas
counties, and instanced the average
value of pasture lands at s6.15 per
acre in Douglas as against s999 per
acre in Lyon; and of arabic land at
$3.50 In Douglas and $1470 la Lyon
and grazing lands at s2.62 in Douglas
and $7.37 in Lyon, and he claimed
that the conditions in Douglas county
we're as favorable as in Lyon county.
and that lands of the same class were
as valuable in one county as in the
other. The result of the controversy
was the appointment of a special
committee to visit two representative
ranches in Douglas county. chosen by
lot. to ascertain whether the asses
sor was classifying his lands too low
The report of this committee indi-
Gated that ii considered the lands of
Douglas county were assessed much
lower than similar lands in adjoining
counties. 1t was also pointed out that
while Douglas was about the size of
Lyon or Churchill. it had on the rolls
more than twice as many acres of
mountain lands, the lowest class. as
Lyon, Churchill. Ormsby and Washoe
combined. which the COMMITTEES con-
sidered unreasonable. The re )ort
and discussion led TO calling into the
conference the tax commissions

BOOSTS VOCATIONAL
SCHOOL TRAINING
BY A. Walker, Instructor

Since taking hold of the machine
shop work and its related subjects,
here in the Humboldt County High
School, have found the work of or
ganizing the shop course a decided
pleasure. 1t Is an important branch
of instruction in any modern, up-to-
date high school and am glad to see
the enthusiasm and appreciation with
which the new course is being met
The unexpected size of the class
enrolled for machine-shop work is
certainly most gratifying to anyone
interested. The pep, eagerness and
general enthusiasm shown by the
class of eighteen young men towards
the work foretells its final success.
or course our one big aim is to turn
out clean-cut. intelligent and efficient
machinists and the grade of workmcn
that we produce is the only measure
of our success.

the fact that Bi-nesin instantly neu-
tralizes the excess acid and stops fer
mentation, thus promoting healthy
natural digestion. Being absolutely
