fired and inflicted an ugly wound just
above the left ear.
Every drop of gasoline had prev

been occasioned by Il small amount
of the fluid that remained within the
engine. Only the fact that the fly
wheel was forced but fraction of a
revolution saved Mr.. Wright from In

ing ply ieian. who states that he will
be unable to work for several weeks.

ELKO AGAIN DEFEATED BY
CARLIN DURING LAST INNING

A single in the ninth inning with
two men out. two men on bases and
two strikes on the batter won the
game for Carlin Sunday after the
Elko team had led through eight and
half innings by one run and the
game scheduled at Carlin on Labor
Day bids fair to be one of the hottest
contests OF the season. At the close
of the game Sunday the score stood
three to one in favor of Carlin giving
that team three of the four games
played to date.
Rivalry between the two teams is
so keen 1t is probable that Sher-
If Harris and several deputies VIII
accompany the nine next Monday
when they visit Carlin.

NO MORE DEFICITS
!. FOR STATE OFFICERS

Holding that the so-ealled "defic-
liency" statutes are in conflict with
the state constitution and that any
department of the government can
hold itself within its appropriation If
it has to. State Controller George Cole
has advised the state board of exam
iners that his office will not issue
warrants or so-called deficiency GER
tificates" that will extend the ex-
penses of any institution or depart
ment beyond the specific appropria-
tions of the legislature, says the Ga
zette.
a recent instance wherein a defici-
ency resolution would grant to a GER
tain department of the state the
authority to more than double the
limit set by the legislature on It's ex-
penses indicates the possibilities un-
der the statutes in question" Coles
letter to the board states.
IF the law permits this first extern
sion 1t could also allow further in
creases. and your board might APP
prove for any or all branches of the
state government, and the legislature
appropriations would be joke. the
budget law farce and the eonsti-
tuition a mockery."
While 1t is admitted in official cir
Giles that the movement of Cole is
aimed at the deficiency fund of $685.
900 created for the upkeep of the
state police during the recent Tono-
pah strike. other departments would
be affected. it was pointed out, an ex-
ample being the maintaining of a
guard under deficiency appropriation
for the alfalfa weevil in Washoe
county.
By authority of chapter 165. stat
utes of 1915, the state board of ex-
aminers authorized deficiency appro-
priations of $54.40i.06 to be pail by
the legislature of 1919. and $40.S6O. 33
to be paid by the legislatu of1921.
reports of the state controller for
1918 and 1920 show.
The last legislature appropriated
$4,000 for expenses of the state po-
lice for 1922 of which amount
$500 was for the field force upkeep
from January | 1921, to the time the
legislature met. From the appropria-
tion $3.674.55 remains for the remain

PUT IN LAST LICkS
IN LOCAL CAMPAIGN
FOR CITY MANAGER

NearnesS of the special election to
determine whether a city manager
form of government in Richmond shall
be inaugurated has caused both the
proponents and anti-city manager
forces to tighten their reins in antici'
patton of the final effort which lies in
getting out the cityS vote.
Announcement that the city man
ager forces would bring their cam
paign to q close with a mass meeting
Monday night proved immature and
Jesse Bailey, chairman, stated that
the organization meeting Saturday
night in the assembly room of the
plete the fight here.
Anti-city manager forces state that
their. organization is ready@for the
battle of ballots next Tuesday. Gath
Freeman, chairman of the anti-city
manager organization, predicted that
the vote in Richmond would be be-
tween three and four to one against
the adoption of the plan here.
Getting People Out.
Jesse Bailey and members of the
city manager forces state that their
biggest problem is getting people in
favor of the plan to vote. They state
that there seems to be little doubt but
that the plan will carry here if all the
people favoring city manager govern
ment turn out at the polls and vote.
The question of getting this vote out
will be discussed at the proponents
meeting Saturday night.
Leaders both for and against the
new form Of government state that
the same difficulty will be met with
here that has characterized the voting
in other cities of the state, that in
getting a representative vote. Un-
prejudiced people have predicted that
not over 60 per cent of the total vote
would be cast Tuesday. If such should
prove the case the organiZa ton best
able to deliver its votes will be able to
pile up a comfortable majority
Polls for the election Tuesday will
open at 6 a. m. and close at p. M
The result Of the election should be
ready for announcement shortly after
the close OF the polls as the counting
of ballots will be comparatively

What | Think of the CITY
Manager System

Every day reporter will ask n
person picked ut random, his opin-
ion on the proposed plan.
81 am opposed to the whole prop
osition as being un-American and
not in unity with the founding of
this republic" stated a business
man Friday. ''If the people would
lay aside party prejudices and vote
for the man, when they know the
man of their own party is unfit. and
do the duty of real conscientious
citizens, all these fads and fancies
would not be confron ting the voters
of cities like Richmond.
"The great trouble with our coun-
try today is that we are getting too
much for system and have long
since got away from the idea that
"a public office is a public trust
There are too many commissions
and clerkship jobs and not enough
places of honor and craftsmanship.
IF the plan is good for cities,
why not for counties, states and it
might be the nation? Hire a man
or two to do the business of con-
gress, let them take a course in a
correspondence school and prepare
for the position, and all the worry
of government will be off the minds
of the people. We must get to a
place of doing honor to ourselves
and to those that have made pos
sible the place of trust we may
hold"
