Next week the seekers after state

be able to organize campaigns on q

candidate for surveyor general, and
his expected decision to make the

it would be as undesirable as it
would be impossible to go back to
the conditions of 1901, it is reason
able to believe that some reductions
may be secured in the very large
amounts now being expended for
state and county purposes, without
material injury to any useful work.
1t is believed that where the tax
survey is completed, and the ex-
penditures of the various counties
are placed side by side, it will ap-
pear that some counties are ex-
pending a great deal more than
other counties for the same pur-
poses, after taking into account
the assessed valuation, number of
inhabitants and area of the diff
ferent counties, and that this re-
suit will indicate opportunities for
reductions in some counties. The
specific work of the league will de-
pend largely upon the results shown
from the Investigations now being
made. The league will cooperate
with county and state officials in
any effort to secure economy in the
use of public funds and the con-
sequent reduction of taxes. 1t will
give wide spread publicity through
the press and otherwise to the re-
suits of its Investigations.

FORD BEATS TRAIN
IN WILD RACE
To ELK0
'Flivver,' Carrying Men Seeking
Vengeance, Beats Train No. ~
In Run From Carlin to
Elko Last Tuesday

Rank ingratitude, and a DISPOSE
ton to disregard fair treatment, is
alleged to have resulted disastrously
to a man who departed from Elko
Tuesday night on train No. 10. His
name was not procured.
From good authority, however,
a resume of his history in Carlin
and Elko was obtained. The man,
1t seems, was in Elko at first, just
a plain, common "vag." He was
offered haying jobs, which he re-
fused, and later, he went to work
at the local shops. After a day or
two, however, he departed from this
city and went to Carlin. He was
without funds, and several strikers
fed him and endeavored to find
him work on ranches. They found
him work, but he did not accept
the jobs. He went to the shops at
Carlin ind took job in the round
house.
When his actions were learned
by the strikers who had fed him,
they started on his trail. He heard
that thay they were after him made
a quick dash for train No. %. His
sprint was successful, and although
the strikers started after him i'm
mediately after his departure from
the roundhouse, he distanced them
to he train swinging abroad just
as the train was leaving the yards.
His pursuers requisitioned a near
by Ford and started in pursuit. The
Ford on its journey of vengeance,
covered the road at an amazing
rate, arriving in Elko before train
No. 20 hove into sight. The un-
grateful one alighted here and went
to the Riordan house, where he
owed q bill. Here he was accosted
by the pursuing forces, and was
badly beaten and bruised. 1t Is
even reported that some one hit him
over the head with a shovel, al
though this report could not be
coroborated. The Carlin men then
loaded their victim into the Ford
and started toward Lamoille. They
were overtaken by local officers
who forced them to give up their
quarry. They then returned to
Carlin.
The victim was taken to a
local hospital ang given medictl
treatment. He refused to swear
out complaints against his adversar-
les, and departed on S. p. train No

ECONOMY LEAGUE
To DO MUCH
FOR NEVADA

F. N. Fletcher of Carson City,
arrived in Ely recently and will re-
main in town several days in the
interest of the newly organized
Nevada Public Economy League Of
which he is a director. The league
has been framed for the purpose of
securing greater economy in the ex-
penditure of public funds; in order
to secure such results without in
jury to public institutions and to
the public welfare. It's work will
be to make careful survey of the
tax conditions in the state, and in
the various counties, cities, and
special districts. Mr.. Fletcher has
already covered the counties of
Churchill, Douglas, Elko and PERISH
ing.
A general survey of the increases
of taxes for the past twenty years
in Nevada shows that state taxes
have increased from $227,130 in
1901 to $1,22O,530 in 1921; while
taxes for county purposes increased
during the same period from $685.

GUARDS AND STRIKE
SYMPATHlSERS MIX

From Carlin comes an interesting
account of scrap which is said to
have occurred last Saturday night.
The feeling. Of railroad men on
strike in Carlin is somewhat intense
toward the men who are on guard,
and who have accepted positions
with the company thrown open by
the strikers upon their departure.
The guards have been confined to
an area designated as the stockade,
and have not wandered about the
town. Saturday, three of the
guards are alleged to have been
walking about the streets Of Car
lin, Haunting the fact that they
were guards. Their actions re-
suited in strike sympathizers en-
gaging them in combat. From all
accounts, the fight was right lively
while 1t lasted.-Elko Independent

VARIOUS PHASES OF STATE POLITICS
GATHERED FROM MANY SOURCES

for United States Senator, lieu
tenant governor, treasurer, con-
troller, surveyor general, superin-
tendent of state printing and clerk
of the supreme court. The sole
contest at this writing in the Demo-
cratic primary is for the nomina-
ton to representative in Congress.
1t is an open secret that many
prominent Democrats hope to bring
out another candidate for COVER
nor but success in their efforts
along that line may not materialize.
The Republicans on the other
hand, are so confident of success at
the polls in November that offices
to be filled by the electors are in
demand and several contests for
nominations are being waged. Four
announcements have been made by
Republicans for United States Sem
ator, three for representative in
Congress, two each for governor,
lieutenant governor, secretary OF
state and attorney general, and
strong candidates are in the field
for each of the other offices on
the party ticket, with the excep-
ton of clerk of the supreme court.
The standing affiliations and
qualifications of the men whose
names will appear on the Repub-
lican ticket in November will be
reflected in the large vote that will
be cast for them. Carson News.

DEMOCRATIC LEADERS ARE
OUT TO DEFEAT SCRUCHAM

WI ~ LEI EAA oNNOorlANh
Despite the fact that Saturday Of
this week is the last day on which
candidates may file their declara-
tons and the further fact that
James G. Scrugham has been looked
upon as the Democratic nominee
for the governorship without OPP
position, and John H. Miller had
been regarded as the certain winner
of the Republican nomination for
the same office over James Gault,
the possibility looms large that real
contests for the nomination will
develop in both parties.
William Kearney, Reno attorney
and former state engineer, will soon
file his declaration Of candidacty for
the Republican gubernatorial nomi-
nation, it is believed in many quar-
tiers. 1t is pointed out that so far
he has neither consented nor de-
clined to enter the race and that
he can at the last moment jump
either way without violating any
promises or in any manner be
breaking faith. Developments will
soon determine Kearney's course, it
is asserted. In the 1918 primary
Kearney was a candidate for gov
ernor but lost the nomination to
Tasker l.. Oddie by the vote of
2,913 to $500, Oddie's majority
being TAT. In the contest Kearney
was the high man in Douglas, Lam
der, Lincoln, and Ormsby counties.
On the Democratic side James
Boyd is expected to file for COVER
nor and battle Scrugham for the
nomination. This is taken to in
dicate that P. A. McCarran, fire.
quently mentioned for the place,
will not enter the primary. Boyd
is several days ago said to have de-
clared that he would file in case
McCarran could not be induced to
do so.
Certain elements within the DEM
ocratic party have long been seek
ing a standard bearer for the gov
ernorship but have experienced diff
fculties in finding a man who will
make the race. The hope that
Charles B. Henderson would be at
tracted by offers of support for
governor after he had secured a
judgment against the Kilborns and
the Journal was short-lived. Hen
derson's chief political ambition, it
Is asserted Is to win the United
States senatorship from Oddie, and
he will do nothing to imperil his
chances should he again oppose
the junior senator. Arguments to
the effect that the surest way for
Henderson to gain strength for the
senatorship would be election to the
governorship were not convincing
though it is claimed that the effort
was made to impress upon Hen.
derson that election of a Repub.
lican as governor, represented as

during the war time period I,-,s-i traordinarily high wages wer2 paiu, and when prices shot up to a stupen- dous point There is but one period where the workingman is really bene- fitted and that is when conditions are normal, meaning that the workman re- ceives his share of the goods produc- ed or money earned for his employer. With extreme low prices hard times Ire assured and with the balance swing ing the other way times become equal ly hard To bring about a period of nor malcy production must be stimulated to where a dollar and a half's worth of goods can be produced for one dollar. The seven hour day and a SIP wage means ultimate bankruptcy for both employer and employe, for one can not live without the other.

A COMPENSATION LAW

It is hoped to secure the passage ol session of the Territorial legislature There should be some law passed which would be fair to both workman and employer: without the latter be- ing forced to sue for injuries received A monthly stipend, depending upon the extent of the injury, could be paid by the Territory without any serious drain upon it's treasury if very small per centage of the wages of the miner and the payroll of the employer was taken and set aside for such purpose. In time this would reach a large aggregate and would automatically cease to col lect until the reserve was reduced to a certain point, when it could again become operative.
 The miner and the employer would both be benefited as the former would be assured of competency in case oi injury and the latter would be relieved from costly law suits. There must be some way to relieve small companies of liability without endangering their treasury We believe that in cases where the injured has been resident of the United States for five years and not taken out citizenship papers the amount should be reduced to a point where the disabled could have fare back to his own country and no more
 There is much that is good in the compensation law, as it prevents inno- cent women and children from panury and obtains for a higher civilization.

ECONOMY HURTFUL

The threat of eleven prominent re- publican editors in the Yakima valley that they would sever their affiliations with the party in case President Hard ing and congress failed to pass the Ne Nary reclamation and irrigation bill is senseless thing when considered from a partisan standpoint, but denotes the trend of times to hold the party in power responsible for its failure to make good. It is senseless from the standpoint that hundreds of sections are equally in need of governmental aid, and should each one threaten the administration it might prove embaras- sing to both the locality and the party in power. Politics should be eschewed from appropriations. The nation has suffered for many decades from pork barrel politics, which waste govern ment money and do no real good The republicans are having hard sledding with the bonus bill, the ship subsidy, the tarltt and other projects on their hands. In practically every case where a candidate for reelection has gone before the people for endorsement on the administration platform he has been defeated. But without the republi- cans in power at this crisis in the na- tions affairs, the country would have been bankrupt Millions of dollars have been saved by the elimination of war time graft and useless commissions. But there is such a thing of carrying economy to the point of embarrass- ment. It may hurt the party in the long run to save at the expense of the peo- pie.

If the natiGc never had another session of congress or of legis- latures our people would live and die better off.
