LEAVING FOR SPAIN
TO FIGHT IN WAR

A suddenexodus OF resident Span
iards from Reno and other parts of
Nevada this week has given rise to
the belief that these men are leaving
to enlist in the Spanish army for SER
vice against the Moorish ,ribesmen.
Applications for income tax clearance
has been made by fourteen aliens who
owe allegiance to the king OF Spain,
according to records on file in the
office of the collector of internal rev.
enue at Reno, and the internal revenue
officials have been informed that a
group OF six or sven Spanards are
coming from Winnemucca to file SINH
lar petitions, says the Gazette.
Under the law, the state department
refuses passports to persons who de-
sire leaving the United States until
payment of their income taxes from
1917 down to the date of departure has
been certified to, and those who have
evaded the filing of returns and the
payment OF taxes are subjected TO the
penalties provided by the federal tax
bill before they are allowed to take
passage.
Officials of the internal revenue de-
partment state that these alien appli-
cants who are returning to Spain, in.
variably reply to inquiries with the
statement that they are simply leav.
ing for a visit to their native land
and secrecy apparently guards Their
movements. The exodus is described
as similar to that which developed
during the Balkan war, when natives
of the Balkan states, domicilcd i'll this
country, returned to Europe in great
numbers to fight for their respective
countries.

rush for tables and chairs.

breeding stuff. but it will mean that to
i very great extent our own feeder
stock will be kept in Nevada to con-
sumo our own hay and then reach the
markets in wished condition as tat
stock, rather than to be forced away
from the State in hall finished con-
diton. merely because of the absolute
necessity of raising money. Nevada
will, therefore. secure the proceeds OF
this process OF finishing this stock,
rather than see them passed on to
other sections of the country.
1T will greatly relieve the situa-
ton our banks have been facing. They
have not considered ii advisable to
tic up their resources i'll securities OF
4 character commonly known as froz-
III assets. which could not be quickly
liquidated in case of need. TO have
lone SO would have meant that those
with liquid securities could not have
been taken care of in all cases. The
new arrangement will make it possi-
ole to secure money on these securi-
ties which up until now it has been
difficult to secure money on. In the
opinion of such men as Mr.. Sheehan,
It will mean that securities in Nevada
valued at from three to five million
dollars can now be used as the means
of securing loans i'll an amount COM
parable to those figures. The injec-
ton of this amount of money into the
key industry OF the state, it is thought.
will mean stimulation of all lines of
business and commercial endeavor
which look to our farmers and stock
growers for the source of their trade.
"Not only should this relief mean
the keeping OF stock within the State
to consume this years hay, but the
prevention of the depletion of our
herds and nocks for years to come and
thus the assurance of keeping within
| the State at least the number of stock
we now have to furnish market for
the farmers hay for ensuing years.
