Iolcsd over the senate action on the
repeal bill.
In connection with the passage of
this bill opposition was dropped to
the proposed constitutional amend
ment TO allow counties to establish
commission form OF government n
they 30 elect. The joint resolution
providing for the submission of this
amendment was taken OF the table
where II has reposed since its failure
to get the needed two.thirds vote and
was passed with several votes to
spare. Then the senators put through
the bill TO reduce auto license taxes
one-quarter on all licenses purchased
after April l OF each year. The house
already has gone on record as opposed
to this idea.
INCOME TAX BILL DEFEATED.

stabulary next June. The bill pro
vides for n $4,000 year commission
er to have charge OF the department.
The house was the scene OF pretty
battle when the proposed state In
come tax plan came up for discussion.
It would require an amendment 10 the
constitution 10 have such a tax and
II takes a two-thirds vote TO submit
an amendment 10 the voters. After
much heated debate and with the
Wayne delegation standing solidly
against the plan the house vote
showed Ga members favoring the In
come tax, just three less than two
thirds. The matter then was tabled
temporarily while the advocates of the
tax started to canpaign for the nee
essary additional rhree members sup
port.
The house adopted the Groesbeck
administration bill TO substitute new
department OF labor and industry for
the present state labor commission.
The bill is the third OF the series OF
administration measures. IL calls for
a commission OF three members who
will be paid $4,000 a year each and
who must devote their entire time TO
the work OF the department

County Clerk II. C. Jepsen Is in re-

sbody of his son, Private Earl F. Jep-

the funeral has not yet been made. this

Private Jepsen, a member of the
SOSth Infantry, 77th Division. was one
those heroes who comprised the Lost
Battalion, a never-to-be-forgotten or
ganization in the annals of American
history. He paid the supreme sacrifice
while in action on October 4, 1918 in
the Argonne Forest during the ia
nous stand of the battalion, when,
cut off from American forces and sur
rounded by the enemy, they refused
to surrender and later fought their
way through the German lines in a
manner that will live for ever in the
hearts of their countrymen.

Neu Loader Is
ProUen Success

That Douglas county farmers are
ever eager to advance the industry in
every way possible and are always on
the lookout for modern methods tend
ing toward the scientific administra-
tion of their properties is evil
denced in the recent installation ON
the farm of Fred Dressler, who is
associated with his father, Senator
VIM. Dressler in large agricultural in
terests here of late model hay load
ing rig, which he recently purchased
on a business trip to the East.
This new machine, which is a side
loader drawn by four-horse team,
does the work of putting on load of
hay in four minutes which formerly
took from fifteen to twenty minutes,
and the job is accomplished with
much less exertion and trouble.
Those who have seen the loader in
operation say that it works perfectly
and are greatly enthused over it. I'm
doubtedly more of these time and Ia
bor-saving machines will make their
appearance in this valley within a
short time, and we may not be amiss
in predicting that, in the not far dis
tant future the old story of the far
mer laboring from sun-up till sun
down will have been nothing more
than a remembrance.

Arentz' Letter
Explains Lau,

The time for doing assessment work
has not been changed, but remains the
same as it has always been. Differ
ence of opinion regarding his matter
prompted a letter to Congressman
Arentz and his reply has just been
received, says the Lovelock Review
Miner. A bill known as the Hayden
bill has been introduced In congress
which aims to change the time Of do
ing assessment work from January I
of the calendar year to the fiscal year
of July. This bill has not passed but
is on the calendar and may come up
any day.
As conditions now stand the assess
ment work for 1920 must have been
completed before midnight of June
80, 1921, and those not doing so must
relocate the claims In order to hold
them. The assessment work for 1921
must be completed before midnight
of December 81. 1921, unless the Hay.
den bill should become a law, In
which case the time would be ex-
tended to June 80, 1922.

GARDNERv|LLE
IS O|SCREO|TED
MANY COMPLAINTS BEING REGIS.
TERED BY TOURISTS AGAINST
INDEFINITE ROAD INFORMATION
REGARDING VALLEY CUTOFF

At the beginning of the tourist sea-
son this year, Gardnerville business
men gathered together and discussed
plans whereby proper attention and
accommodations would be provided
for those who might visit this COM
munity during the ensuing months OF
the summer.
As result of this meeting a tourist
camp ground was fitted up, equipped
with serviceable cook stoves, electric
lights. running water, and other con-
veniences as would make for the COM
fort of those who desired to spend a
night or more here.
That this has all proved of benefit
to Gardneryille, both financially and
In way of giving favorable publicity
to this valley Is certain, and those
who SO generously supported the idea,
morally and In more substantial man
ners, Is great credit and commenda-
tion due.
Now 1t appears that something more
must be done. The transient business
which visits this city, and those who,
through i'll advice, are diverted from
entering Carson Valley proper, must
be further protected
In conversation with a party of
three tourists one evening this week
1t developed that they had gone some
twelve miles out of their way by be-

from Hope Valley. en- route to the
Yosemite. This Is only one of the

Of the party. lady from Kentucky,
voiced her opinion of any one who
would misrepresent road directions in
no uncertain language.
The Misrepresentation seems to be
In the form of an alleged shortcut
across the upper portion of the valley
whereby the tourist would probably
gain five or six miles-if he don't get
lost and lose nine or ten. The route
OF the shortcut Is confusing, to say The
least, and on the other hand the aver
age party travelling cross country is
not In such haste as to sacrifice all
reason In a desire to reach their des-
tination.
Although large signs informing
travellers of the route to Gardneryille
have been erected at prominent inter
sections of the roads leading hence
from the north, and every other pro-
vision of like manner made to insure
a safe journey, the cooperation of the
persons recommending the indefinite
cutoff must be secured II Gardner

preserved.
