BUSINESS is GOOD

II. Warren, prominent attorney of
this city, has returned from a trip
lasting many months in other western
states. Asked how business condi-
tions here and elsewhere strike him.
he said he does not know of a place
where the depression is felt as little
as in winnemucca. He accounts for
this by stating that the small popula-
ton of this county in no way COM
pares with the enormous resources.

ROAD BILL CHANGES
GOOD, SAYS 0DD|E

The following telegram was re-
ceived at the state highway de-
partment headquarters from U. 8.
Senator Tasker L. Oddie:
Your telegram received. The orig
inal Phipps bill provides relief for
public land states by reducing the
match money required of states and
extending for two years availability
of present funds. This promptly
passed the senate. The bill passed
by the house so materially amended
the Phipps bill as passed by the SEN
ate that further consideration by
those best informed was deemed i'm
perative.
The senate committee has ordered
substitute reported Monday and ef-
forts will be made to have 1t passed
Tuesday. In this substitute the SEN
ate committee has retained the pro-
vision of the Phipps bill for the re-
duction in contributions required of
the public land states. and that all
funds now or heretofore available
shall continue available. This retro
active feature Of the substitute bill
insures Nevada against any loss OF
money to which she has been or now
is entitled. The substitute bill con-
tains the best features of the Phipps.
Dowell and Townsend bills and car
ries appropriations for future high
way projects when present federal
funds are exhausted.
There has been no unnecessary de-
lay by the senate committee II we'll
balanced and well-considered legisla-
tion Is desired.
THE early passage of revenue and
tariff legislation is of great import
ance to the livestock, agricultural and
mining industries OF Nevada. The
main purpose Of the proposed recess
is to allow committees to give con-.
tinuous and uninterrupted consider
alton to these important matters
which they have not now. Any I'M
preston that the purpose of the re-
cess is to delay and make impossible
consideration of these important mat
ters is without foundation in fact. Ac-
tions on such measures will be greatly
expediated by the committees being
given the necessary time to devote to
their continuous consideration.
The Carson News says the above
indicates that pessimists who have
entertained no hope of early ac-
ton on highway legislation bills
may be somehat surprised, and in the
near future. The votes already taleen
in both houses of the nations legis-
lature show that the majority of mem
bers are favorable to the graduated
scale scheme, which will give the
sparsely-settled western states aid in
proportion to the acreage of land still
held by the federal government and
that there Is every increasing apprec-
iation of the nations responsibility
In the matter of development of the
