present form. 1t seems unjust to
kill an industry as important to
Nevada as mining is for the sake
of protecting unwary investors 1t
also seems possible that the end
desired can be accomplished in
less drastic manner and in a way
that will permit the small mine op-
orator to secure at least a hearing.
A better way would be to pass
one federal law Incorporating all
good blue-sky provisions, abolishing
all state commissions having to do
with stock sales. Then it would be
necessary to comply with only one
law and meet requirements of only
one set of administrative officers,
and the expense might thus be re-
duced so that ordinary men could
develop mines as well as those
richer in worldly goods.

NEVADA NEEDS A

The state of Washington has
under what is called the cabinet
system, cut the direct taxes on its

annually and in doing so has abol-

500 state jobs. Tax reductions are
up to the people. II the subject

payer wants his taxes reduced. Blu,
he is powerless to put into effect
policies of economy because the
taxpaying body in Nevada, although
preponderatingly strong numerically
is a great impotent disorganized
mass.

HOMESTEAD
Entries

According to decision made by
the Secretary of the Interior, A. B.
Fall, March 8, homestead entries
for surface rights only can be made
on lands previously taken up and
developed as oil properties.
The decision incidently estab-
lished a precedent on 10 or IL other
similar cases, pending for hearing
in the Salt Creek, Wyoming, field.
In announcing the decision which
was personally written by Mr.. Fall,
clause which reserves to the oil
companies involved sufficient lands
in the homesteads of this kind to
fully and expeditiously remove the
oil is retained.
1t is reported authoritatively that
this is the first case of its kind in
the United States in which a final
decision has been rendered. The
decision is important to future
homesteaders not only in the Salt
Creek field but also in other fields
throughout the United States.

MICHIGAN is STILL IN
MIDST OF HARD TIMES

The Ely Record is in receipt of
a letter from A. B. Lightfoot dated
from Gaines, Mich, which gives
a rather gloomy outlook of the bus
mess conditions in that state. He
says that business does not seem
to have recovered. He is quoted
as follows:
''In fact, l look for a dull season
in manufacturing. The Chevrolet
factory is running at nearly full
capacity, but the Buick is down to
the minimum. Flint has been in
bad shape for nearly a year and it
is getting" the business men there
now. The city was doomed to the
limit and is now reaching the us
ual results of such booms. Detroit
is in much the same condition, tho
its residents look forward to con-
siderable building activity this sum-
mer, which will help some. A good
many farms were sold at high
prices on land contracts and are
now being turned back. The SELL
ing price of land has fallen a good
deal. Taxes are high and that is
the item that strikes a fellow very
hard, but at that the farmers are
the best off of any class and have
lost the least. Michigan is now
bonded so heavily that there is no
chance to reduce taxes for a long
time. However, l do not be-
lieve this country has suffered so
much as the west and it will pick
up quickly if the wheels can be
set to going again."

SOME TELEPHONE
FIGURES

At the end of 1921 the American
Bell Telephone Company had 49,
380,219 stations, an increase dur
ing the year of 778,284 instruments.
Average daily toll and exchange
connections were 37,027,000 for
1921.
OF all telephones used in the
world Europe has 20 per cent, all
other countries 10 per cent, and
U. S. A. IS per cent.
Our country adds as many new
phones each year as are used in all
of France, and we have the only
rural phones,-2,500,000.
Number of employees at end of
1921 was 1923 less than at end of
1920, but total operating expense
increased from s346,819,617 in
1920 to 63,6s7,2s3 in 1921, or
SIG, S76,666
Net operating revenues increased
from $1O2, 622, 498 in 1920 to $780,
40O,950. After paying dividends,
interest, rent, taxes, etc., balance
added to surplus was s19,576,289.

THOUGHT THEY
WERE IN RUSSIA

1t turns out after all that max,
ing paper into money is fraugh'
with dangers other than those ad
vanced by the gold standard and
bi-metalist advocates. Aside from
economic reasons there is the mat
ter of dishonesty of those en-
trusted with the task of convert
ing almost worthless paper to units
of value, to be reckoned with. On
perhaps, honesty and dishonesty are
to be construed as having places in
economics.
At any rate the Harding admin
istration discovered irregularities
in the bureau of engraving and

printer and printers boss, proceed

ed and unfair methods. But it has
developed that the president did
not take his stand until he knew
that certain of the country's en-
ployes had gotten the notion into
their heads that they were to print
and circulate currency as they dc
in certain European countries.
A river boatman operating on the
Potomac, found a bale of 1900
five dollar bills floating in the
waterway that skirts the national
capital and it is presumed to be
disgorged loot cast aside by some
one Of the several engravers under
suspicion. The presumption is
reasonable for who else would in
dulge such profligacy?
In the meantime, the people OF
the country will watch with consid-
cradle interest the progress Of the
inventory now being conducted
with the engraving bureau offices
1t may be, after all, that the bill

THE GREAT
GOVERNMENT ARMY

1t is estimated by statisticians
that fifteen million people make
their living, or get it, from the gov
ernments, federal, state, county and
city, of the United States, in one
way or another. That's a pretty
formidable army and one that taxes
the resources of the producers of
the land to the limit to sustain.
Here we find a major cause for
high taxes and low farm products
prices. The loss must be placed
somewhere and the farmer has
been the angel up to the present
time. Sending ten million of the
fifteen back into productive walks
would dc more to restore normally
than anything else.

Only Ia per cent of the crimes
registered by civil authorities in the
last six months can be attributed
to previous offenders, according to
E. E. budding, of Washington, DC,
an authority on the history of
crimes. Based on statistics which
he said had been obtained from
official prison records, Mr.. budding
estimated that SO per cent of those
definitely connected with crime in
the last half year have been new
offenders.

GAYETY.
"Beauty Show.o

The same big Beauty Show" the
same funny Harry Cooper. the same
excellent supporting cast. and last.
but not least, the same Al Reeves,
all came to he Gayety yesterday
for the annual showing OF Reeves
burlesque production.
Needless to say. Reeves appear

an added attraction and he certainly

Cooper as the chief funster Cooper.

than last season. and although he
dons not grotesque makeup for his
comedy. he had the house roaring
practically all the time OF his sew
eral comedy numbers, the drunk
bit still remains the best, and Cooper
seems to have mastered the before
Volstead atmosphere.
Other bright lights of the produc.
ton are Charlie LaVine, a juvenile
who struggles with a couple OF
comedy. roles during the course OF
the show: Frank Pickett, a char.
acter comedian of a type we seldom
see; Evelyn Dean and Peggy Reade.
a pair of misses who possess good
voices and magnetic personalities;
May Janese. a poppy soubrette, and
Flo Bogafd, who controls a pleas
Ing soprano voice. Jim Bogard sue
cessfully feeds" the comedians, and
his work Is responsible for a mum.
Der of the laughs created by Cooper.
Al Reeves. OF coursse. was a well
come figure before the footlights. Al
has a comedy monologue all about
himself and his show, and he even
tells US how to keep young. You'll
probably agree with him on that
point-at least we did. Reeves
tickles the banjo and everybody
else. The only trouble we find with
Mr.. Reeves is that he doesn't work
long enough: but, then, apparently,
we're luck to have him back at all.
The chorus is good and the scenic
settings compare favorably with the
average. The roof gardenn setting
is especially attractive.
Cooper and Reeves are a show be-
tween themselves but nevertheless
the rest of the principals all tend to
make the Beauty Show" enjoyable.
