DECISION GIVEN N
CONSTABLE'S SUIT

Another chapter In the case of N p.
Moore against Humboldt county was
written last week when Judge Gala
han sustained the demurrer to COM
plant submitted by District Attorney
Wilson, Judge Callahan sustaining
the demurrer on the ground that the
complaint did not state facts"
Although the complainant Moore
has ten days In which to Ale an
amended complaint, 1t Is thought
default judgment will be allowed to
be entered In favor of the county.
from which judgment appeal will q
taken to the supreme court of this
state. In view of his action In sus-
tsiaing the demurrer to the complaint
filed by Moore, II is certain that IL de-
fault judgment Is entered Judge Cal
l8han will decide In favor of the
county. throwing the case out Of dis
trict court.
If the case Is then appealed to the
supreme court. the question before
that body will be whether the act Of
the Nevada Legislature of 1921. re-
ducing the salary of the constable Of
Humboldt county from $3.50 per
month to IS per year, is constitu-
tiohal.
Moore was appointed to fill the un-
expired term of the late Constable
Jack" Nelson who also held the city
appointment as chief of police. 1t
was then decided by the city council
to employ chief OF police exclu-
e'"e'v as city employe. and not com
b'noa with the position of constable.
A bin was passed by the legislature
reducing the salary of constable and
Moore now sues to recover from the
county the difference between SIS per
year the salary now being paid under
the terms of the legislative act, and
$3.50 per month. the amount previ-
ously paid. contending that the act OF
the legislature is unconstitutional.

ANOTHER STILL TAKEN

Another small still. made out OF a
milk can, was taken at Golconda last
Saturday night by Sheriff Brady. The
still belonged to Mexican section
hands employed by the Western Pa
cific. 1t Is said. and was found con-
cealed under a table at the section
house. Although IL shows signs of
use. no liquor was found and no evil
dence was secured. and consequently
no arrests were made. II is believed
by local officers that someone may
have tipped the moonshiners of that
a raid might be made. and everything
was stored away.

W NASnlN1lON, IL. u, aug. D
When the old-timers in Congress
taught the young upstarts a lesson by
using their powerful influence and
technique to Lave hides placed on the
free list after tie House had voted
tariff of 10 per cent during the reg
ular consideration of the revenue bill,
they started something which may
not stop SO raricly as ouch things
usually do. New members are more
| than a hundred strong in tie Sixty
they have a considerable measure OF
| support from the press. People are
beginning to perceive that the auto
cratic methods of ra-skilled par
liamentariars are taking up time OF
Congress which should be devoted to
the exercise of good common sense.
Cong essman Arentz of Nevada and
Wurzbach OF Texas were the men oi
most activity and influence in secur
ing tariff on hides. McFadden of
Pennsylvania seems to have been the
leader in training the youngsters. At
any rate he wrote and circulated the
letter which urged the House to re-
scind its action in the matter of hides.
Yesterday McFadden was elo-
quently sponsoring the bill to amend
the farm loan act and claiming all
the old stuff about loving the farmer.
and Arentz of Nevada became nervous
(under the collar). McFadden yielded
to him, and the gentleman from ne
vada put this little hot shot into the
Record (page 1919:
Il think the gentleman from Penn
sylvania is consistent. because 1t is
my belief that putting hides on the
free list was due to the letter that
was sent around to his colleagues by
the gentleman from Pennsylvania.
So he Is naturally consistent in being
in opposition to che farmers. Laugh
ter)."
The Representative from Pennsyl-
vania feebly protested: Il do not be-
lieve I stand in opposition to the
farmer"
The speech of Representative Wurz-
bach supporting a tariff on hides won
applause in the House when the tariff
bill was under consideration. 1t was
as follows:
Mr.. Wurzbach. Mr.. Chairman,
realize that I have made myself pretty
much of a nuisance on the subject OF
a tariff on hides. / have talked hides
in the Republican conferences, | have
talked hides in the cloakrooms. and I
am going to talk hides again today.
The cattlemen of Texas and of the
South and of my district lie close to
my heart. they are the salt of the
EARTH" they are big hearted. they are
true, and they constitute the bone and
sinew and the backbone of our Texas
citizenship. and they are vast con-
tributors to Texas prosperity.
II any class of American citizen
ship Is entitled to and needs the bene-
fits of a protective tariff 1t Is they. II
is impossible for the Texas cowman
to compete with the cattle raisers OF
South America. Cattle can be raised
in the Argentine and shipped to Amer
lean markets for one-half of what
they can be raised In Texas. This Is
due to the fact that the labor cost is
less than one-half in South America
of what it is in Texas, and the same
free range conditions exist in South
America today that existed In Texas
a hundred years ago.
Unless a protective tariff is placed

see what worthwhile things other
clubs are accomplishing and Of learn

will inspire them to greater efforts
next year.
The accommodations at the boys
and girls camp are limited, therefore
each county has been allowed to send
only four girls and four boys. Three
boys and two girls are sent as prize
winners, therefore. there is a chance
for two other club girls in the coun-

A Time For Caution

The fact that a dog suffering with
rabies has been at large in and
around Cambridge, having bit sever
al other dogs, as the result of which
one cow and several dogs have been
killed, places an obligation upon all
owners of dogs to carefully sect to it
that their dogs are not permitted to
run at large until the danger is
over.
The fact forcefully also calls to
mind the presence of a dog law in
the State which requires that own
ers of dogs shall take out licenses
for such dogs and that there shall
be fastened around the necks Of the
dogs tags, showing that such licenses
have been taken out. 1t is reported
that there has been marked disre-
spect for this law; that many own
ers have deliberately refused to com
ply with it's provisions; if this law
is not to be enforced it should be re-
pealed
