that chambers of commerce,
boards of trade, and like organi-
cations in great number of
western cities and towns were
spending large sums of money in
advertising campaigns of an in
dividual character.
Now isn't it a fact, Hale, that The
Silver States Washington correspond
ent was only faithfully reporting a
happening at the capital? You, as a
reporter, write Elko happenings every
day, concerning what other people
say and do, but you don't expect your
readers to conclude you believe every
thing that you report is right in
theory or practice. So why break
forth in print with this direct state
ment: "In his own (the correspond
ent's) humble estimation it is without
question the cure for every Ill that
besets Nevada? The correspondent
in no portion of his article approved
or condemned the proposition OF
bringing Congress West. He merely
reported the talk of other men at a
function in the Raleigh hotel at Wash
ington
In the editorial comment of The
Silver State, concerning the CORE
spondent's article, we admitted it was
too much to expect Congressman to
stop here to gain definite data, but
contended that the talk in Washington
of apprising Congressman of Nevada's
needs presented "a grand opportun-
ity." We still contend the same thing
and believe that If we can force talk
of Congressman coming West, whether
they ever actually do so or not, we
will be accomplishing a great thing
in bringing to their attention the fact
that we want irrigation projects and
need them. AS to the cost of so in
forming Congress, let the East worry
about that-the West wants results.
Working along the old propaganda
line, the seed will thus be planted and
some day 1t might grow.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
THE GIRL ON THE JOB
How to Succeed-How to Get
Ahead-How to Make Good
By JESSIE ROBERTS
EQUAL PAY

II, HERE is one big issue to settle in
/ the world of business and labor,
the issue of equal pay for equal work.
Evidences of injustice are found
everywhere. One woman held posi-
ton In college for which she was
paid 81. 500 year. She resigned be-
cause she needed higher salary; a
man took the position. He gets sal
airy of $1,000 The United States gov
eminent also pays women less than
men in many positions
There are several reasons for this
state of affairs. The fact that women
were not voters Is one Of them. That
will now cease to be a deterrent.
Then. women do not insist on being
Justly remunerated. Women are still
new in business. 1t is something Of
a wonder to them that they are con
sidered worth a salary at all. They ac-
cept what is offered, and make no
kick when 1t is less than their brother
gets for similar position.
Then, unfortunately, women often
do not give as good an account OF
themselves as men. Many women do
as well as men, few do better, but
many do not do as well. 1t Is these
who make 1t possible to exploit the
rest.
1t lies with wSnen, finally, as to
whether or not they shall receive equal
pay. Ii should be demanded by every
woman. Also, the training OF women
for earning a living must be improved,
and the standards of her work bet
tered

THE ROMANCE OF WORDS
ASSASSIN"

TN 1000 there was founded In
1 Asia secret society known
as the "Fedavis" or devoted
Ones" the members of which
were pledged to implicit blind
obedience to the orders of their
superiors. no matter what di
rection these orders might take.
ftassan ben Sabbah. the Per
sian. who founded the dreaded
order, was extremely explicit In
the rules he laid down for he
government of the organization,
which was partly religious and
partly secular In nature. The
members of the lower sections
of the society were kept in total
ignorance of the teachings and
aims of the body to which they
belonged, and it was impressed
upon them that unfailing ODE
dience was their only key to
success in this life and happi-
ness In the next.
In order to give them a fore
taste of the joys which were In
store for them, provided they
followed instructions, Hassan
ben Sabbah directed that they
be given a specified ration Of
hashish, or hemp-a narcotic
which produced effects an
alogous TO those resulting from
the use of opium-and from this
practice the members Of the so.
ciety became known as has
hashin or hemp-eaters. Euro
peans slightly altered the word
to assassin" and applied 1t to
anyone guilty of murder. this
crime being favorite among
the Fedayis.

The mere fact that the people of
other Western states demanded and
got irrigation projects, because they
howled long and loud for them, means
nothing to the Elko editor. That
Arizona and New Mexico, with no part
of the natural resources of Nevada,
are blessed with projects, means little
to him. He has decided political ext
gencies settle such matters, and that
being the case the incident is closed,
thought it is generally stated those
states-then territories-were made
populous and powerful by irrigation
projects at time when their political
prestige meant little. The Republi-
cans did that, but Arizona now has a
Democratic senatorial Washington, so

need not become too fearful of dis
aster, politically speaking.

PLAYING
THE GAME

Pooh, pooh! says the Elko Inde-
pendent, in effect, though not in
words. Don't think of bringing
Congress to the West. as it would
merely be pleasure trip and Repre-
sentatives wouldn't leave their Pull
man and fans for anything short of
personal irrigation projects. and then
only II good ten-year-old should be
provided. The Silver State CORE
spondent had brain-storm when he
wrote about such thing. And as
for meeting any public demand for
real irrigation projects Congressman
would be of opinion Nevada is too
small fry for attention. What Neayda
needs to gain irrigation projects is
some old head in Congress-like Pitt
man, eh, Harold?
It's a real, nice, progressive stand
the Independent takes, is it not?
Harold ("Fatty') Hale. the editor, is
real nice young man, and young
men are supposed to be progressive.
He said himself, the other day, that
the trouble is that the old fogey can't
get" the young mans viewpoint nor
understand the young mans modern
business tactics. In this case, how
ever, his plan apparently is to sit
still, say nothing, and just wish some
irrigation projects for Nevada. Per-
haps, too, he figures Elko county has
all the irrigation water needed and he
should worry about Humboldt and
Pershing counties, further down the
river where the water commences to
pinch out"
As we said before, Hale is a nice
young man. And, seriously, he has
done lots of good with his newspaper
and some bad, like all the rest of
us. The main trouble is that he must
play the game" in season and out.
If the Republicans stand chance of
accomplishing anything for the good
of the people, their plans must be
spoiled and quickly, else Nevada
might go Republican again. Merits
make no difference-"play the game.
1t is the same in local situations. II
the bootlegger is to be bothered, move
the scene of operations from Elko to
Carlin-and make Carlinites DROP
over to Elko to do business. Raise
heck with the Carlin poisoner, but let
Elko maintain lilly-white reputa-
ton Likewise. jump all over the
owner of Elko's water system and the
man who owns the Eureka railroad
they don't live In Elko.
OF course. we don't mean all OF
that We just mention 1t In the same
spirit the Independent man elabo-
rated. expanded or exaggerated The
Silver States Washington correspond
ent's story of a proposition to bring
Congress West. AS we've often stated
it's a poor mule that can't kick. both
ways.
