Davis and Buchanan.

Ambassador Davis is snug in his
berth in London, and probably enjoy
ing his experience. Now and then his
name is mentioned in connection with
the presidency. Under favorable cir.
cumstances his friends might not fad
it difficult to start a boom for him.
The President likes him, and at home
jim West Virginia-he is personally
very popular. He has ability and So
cial charm, and has seen something Of
politics.
Mr.. Davis is escaping close contact
with the factionism which has been
showing its head in the democratic
party Of late, and which as convention
times draws near is giving some presi-
Dental aspirants no little uneasiness.
While Mr.. Bryan, Mr.. Hitchcock, Mr..
CLARK, Mr.. Pomerene, Gov. Cox and
Mr.. Marshall are within the danger
zone, and liable to injury at any time,
three thousand miles of blue water
separate Mr.. Davis from the commo-
ton and give him an advantage.
A similar advantage was once cap
italized at high figure by a presi-
dental aspirant. Indeed, students of
American history have ascribed Mr.
Buehanan's success in reaching the
White House to the fact that during
q period Of heated domestic politics
from 1858 to 1S56-he was the Ameri-
can minister to England, engaged in
handling foreign affairs. While Judge
Douglas and other democratic presi-
Dental aspirants were at home in the
thick Of tho melee over slavery, and
moro o. less "queering" themselves
with both northern and southern men,
Mr.. Buchanan was safe in London Civ
ing attention to diplomacy. He re.
signed and came homo in time to win
his pa1tys presidential nomination,
and united his party for that cam.
paign.
Mr.. Davis is not as eminent a man
as was the sage Of Wheatland in 1856
Mr.. Buchanan had served in both
houses Of Congress and in the office
Of Secretary Of State under President
Polk before entering the diplomatic
field, and for some years had been

From wintry scenes we1l soon be gone

As weary hills we climb,

failed to supply the spare parts for
American automobiles, for machines
that are known all over the world.
and that in the city Of Brussels there
were about thirty or forty buyers Of

the House appropriations committee that

England and Canada have both devoted

show how various American motor cars
are manufactured-not one particular

to have the reel trace the steel from the

the completed job ready for de-

is probably the biggest single piece
of printing accomplished in this city.

would be the earliest possible date
of delivery, but today is one of those
days when there is no news to print,
so the time was used on the roll. All
of which once again brings out the

P|TTMAN OFFERED
DEMO GUARDIANSHIP

1t always takes some time for the
true stories of a big convention to
get in circulation, and at this date
ii is learned that a Nevada man could
have been the permanent chairman of
the Democratic convention at San
Francisco. If he had only consented to
accept the position.
Prominent Democratic leaders
aligned with all factions of the party
that were in evidence at San Fran
cisco were united in the desire to
have Key Pittman, senior senator
from Nevada, take the permanent
chairmanship and it was only after
his refusal that Senator Robinson
was placed in the position. says the
Sparks Tribune.
Just why the Nevada senator
would not accept is not known, but il
is intimated that one of the compell-
ing reasons for his action is the fact
that he was not delegate and did
not desire to take an active and
prominent part under those circum-
stances
But the senator was not inactive
during the convention. He was at
all times to be found working for
the party and advising with the big
men of the party. but withal he did
not become so wrapped up in his
efforts for the party that he forgot
to welcome Nevadans who were in
the city to attend the convention. He
won many friends by the solicitude
he displayed for the welfare and COM
fort of all of the visiting Nevadans.

BUREAU RED TAPE
STOPS ROAD WORK

Preparation of plans for new high
way building projects in the state
have been seriously delayed by re-
cent ruling OF the federal bureau of
public roads requiring a twenty-four
foot highway surfacing on all future
highway projects where the federal
government is asked to pay half the
cost, says the Gazette.
The new ruling was transmitted to
the state highway department a few
days ago and as it seriously affects
the highway building program in Ne
vada protests have been maze by the
highway department. and Governor
Boyle with E request, that the ruling
be suspended as far as Nevada is
concerned.
Under the present practice the Ne
vada highways are being surfaced
either eighteen or twenty feet wide.
The plans as outlined by the Nevada
highway department call for this
width of surfacing and the mileage of
road to be constructed is based ac-
cordingly. If the wider road is re-
quired by the government the mile
age of highway built in the state will
be cut down.
Projects that have already been
approved by the federal bureau CT
public roads, which includes the road
from Reno to Carson City and nearly
all other highway projects in Washoe
county. are not affected by the new
ruling and work on these projects
will continue.
The ruling, If not waived so far as
this state is concerned, will chiefly
affect counties other than Washoe, as
that county has adopted hard surface
construction ranging in width from
eighteen to twenty feet. with gravel
or macadam shoulders" on each
side. making a total width of twenty
four feet or more.
The highway department has asked
that the chief engineer of the depart
ment of public roads come to Nevada
to investigate conditions here.
Further preparations of plans of
work in Clark county, Elko county
and in fact, practically all of the
state are held Up pending an adjust
Of &c Ca4
trell, state highway engineer. "We
believe the attitude of the highway
department is not correct when con-
sidering conditions in this state, and
are probably based on the necessity
for such width in Eastern states"

PLATFORM ADOPTED
BY LAbOR-FARMERS

The platform as adopted by the la
bor-farmer group and which was con-
sidered too radical by the Forty-eigh-
ters, contains nine planks, summar-
lied as follows:

right of free speech. repeal of es-
pionage, sedition and criminal syndi-
calist laws, referendum and recall for

ment;" abolition of secret treaties
and withdrawal of the United States
from the dictatorship I'VE exercise
over the Philippines. Cuba, Porto
Rico, Guam and Hawaii" This sec
tion also pledges support to league
of free peoples
3. Demands democratic control o.
industries. laying down the right "of
labor for an increasing share in the
responsibilities and management of
industry"
4. Calls for public ownership OF
all public utilities and natural re-
sources and immediate repeal of the
Esch- -Cummins railroad law
5. Demands favorable laws for
farmers; establishment of public mar
kets and extension of federal farm
loan system.
6. Advocates government econo-
my to replace extravaganza that has
run riot under the present admins
tration;" denounces the system that
every three American soldiers killed
in France" demands that war ac-
quired wealth be so taxed as to shift
the tax burden from the poor.
Z. Urges reduction of the cost of
living by stabilization of currency;
federal control of meat packing in
dustry and enforcement of present
laws against profteers, especially
the big ones"
8. Favors justice to soldiers OF
the world war, as a matter of right
and not of charity" recommending
payment of sum sufficient to make
their war pay not less than their

TAXES SHOW AGRICULTURAL
COUNTIES MOST PROSPEROUS

The last half of the 1919 taxes have
been received by the state controller
and he in turn has made settlement
with the treasurer says the Gazette.
During the month $6S0.549.7S has
been received and accounted for.
The heaviest tax paying county in
the state is Elko, the second install
ment settlement amounts to s137.-
1913; White Pine is second with
$97,877.61; Washoe third with s57,-
S7761.
The division of Humboldt county
cuts the revenue to $55.77799, while
Pershing donated s3S.741.47. For
merly Humboldt county took second
place in the ranks of tax payers. The
smallest amount received comes
from Storey county, $5,324.74. This
county for many years was the ban
ner county of the state and between
bullion tax and property tax it was
depended upon to help the exchequer
of the state. In every instance the
agricultural counties are paying ad-
ditional sums at each assessment
while as a class the mineral counties
have gradually dropped back.

WOOL MEN WANT
PROTECTIVE TARIFF
ELY NEWSPAPER SAYS WOOL
SITUATION Is NOT ENCOURAG-
ING AND ASSOCIATIONS WILL
DEMAND PROTECTION TARIFF

Little, IL any, encouragement is
held out to woolgrowers by reports
coming from the eastern wool CEN
ters. Slight demand and that only
for bargain consignments is in evil
dence. Danger is seen by many wool
growers in the selling pools being
organized on account of the possibility
OF forcing the manufacturers and
other buyers into the foreign market.
This in turn is causing woolgrowers
to center their hopes on the next
congress to get protective tariff.
A formal resolution to that effect was
adopted at recent meeting in st.
Louis of the directors of the Missouri
Farmers Association, representing
more than 10000 Missouri farmers.
Other associations of woolgrowers
and farmers are expected TO echo
this demand
In the meantime. il seems inevita-
BILE, local wool men assert, that the
collapse of wool values spells ruin
for many growers. Other cases are
cited where the new wool has cost
one dollar pound. owing to the ex-
pense of bringing the flocks through
the winter.
Hope that the situation may inn
prove hinges almost entirely upon the
effect that buying of wooden products
for fall and winter deliveries may
have upon the market. If this is
strong, prices may strengthen, some
growers believe. although among the
trade few are optimistic enough to
anticipate such result.
Ohio wool quotations, as revised by
leading handlers, are as follows: Fine
unwashed delaine. 20 to 72 cents; fine
unwashed clothing. so to 62 cents !:
half blood combing, 65 to 6S cents :;
three-eighths blood combing. so to So
cents: quarter blood eombing, "A TO
46 cents. Even these. prices, it is
reported. are regarded too high by
the most conservative manufacturers
who would like to see them reach a
still lower level before they operate.
