ing in the taxpayers money. By tn,
application of the same methods o.
retrenchment, it is expected that ever
the appropriations for 1923, reduced
as they are, will be left with unex,
pended balances at the end of the
year
The most marked reduction in the
appropriations this year under those
of last is in the line of national de.
Tense. For 1922, the military and nav.
al appropriations totaled $763, 000, 900
while for 1923 they are $S5000O,OO0, a
saving of $2l3,OOO,0O0. Much of that
economy is directly due to the results
of the Washington conference called
by President Harding to reduce naval
ornaments.
In spite of the most rigid economy
revealed by those figures, big reduc,
tons in the national debt have been
achieved. At the beginning of the
fiscal year 1922 the debt tsood at $751;
o77,000,0O0, and at the end of the year
it had dropped to $22,963, 0OO,0 a re-
duction of $l,0l4,000,OOO.
The object aimed at by the Repub-
licans in thus cutting expenditures to
the bone was reduction in the tax
burden on the people. As soon as the
economies were put into effect they
were translated into reduced taxes
and during the calendar year 1921,
$80000,000 is estimated to have been
saved the taxpayers. In the prescn.
calendar year the total saving to the
people in taxes will reach $3.50, 1000, QUO
Further savings of the same sort will
folio win succeeding years.
1t has been the effort of certain
partisan Democrats to compare ex-
penditures for the fiscal year 1923
with those for pre-war years to show
that Republicans have failed in their
promised return to normally. How
unfair such comparison is may be
shown by a tabulation of some of the
increased costs of government that
cannot be avoided:

Congressman Martin B. Madden, of

are impressive enough, but the fact is
that shortly after the beginning of the

that the expenditures for that year
would reach $4,554,OOO.0OO. At the

The wep-laid plans of the peace
officer to steal a march on his friends

by reason of the fact that his associ-

a passing interest in the big event,
have had considerable experience In
the examination of concealed tracks.
Morris selected the time. the place
and the girl with great care. He
called on County Clerk Oldheld at
an hour when he thought all others
might be asleep. After procuring the
license he told his joys to the judge

CROPS AND WEATHER
FOR WEEK Of NOV. 8

Observer II. +. Alps of the Reno
of agriculture has issued the follow
ing weather and crop report for the
week ending November Is.
The first half of the week was
cloudy and stormy and the last half
was clear with cold nights. The sun
shine was deficient and the wind
movement about normal. The tenn
p%earture was below normal and the
precipitation was greater than nor
NAL. Winnemucca reported 0.40
inch of precipitation, Modena 0.19
inch and Reno e.27 inch. The snow
fall was moderate in mountainous
districts in the east and central por.
lions and heavy in the Sierra Ne
yada mountains. For the five stormy
days at Summit, Cal, the total snow
fall was u inches and the greatest
fall for "a hours was SO inches. The
depth of snow on the ground after
the storm was six feet. This is an
excellent start in snow storage for
the season.
In southern counties the weather
was favorable for stock, as the snow
fall in the hills had opened all win
ter ranges. where forage was report
ed to be fairly plentiful; lambs were
nearly all shipped to the market in
good condition. Some corn was
frosted before silo filling in the vicin-
ity OF Logandale and ranch work was
backward. Cattle and sheep are do
ing well In central and western coun-
ties and the feeding OF beef cattle is
in progress on ranches and at feed
ing stations. Stock cattle are rem
orally on the lower ranges and not
being fed. Potatoes which were not
shipped to the market are being stor-
ed for the winter. There was not
much blowing and seeding done in
the WA district; horses on the range
are in fair condition; cattle and sheep
are doing well.
The precipitation improved the
dusty condition OF the roads.

CLUB MEMBERS
H0LO ANNUAL MEETING

The annual meeting of the stock
holders of the Willow Club was held
at the clubhouse in Ely last night.
Considerable interest was shown in
the welfare of the organization and
plans for dhe further Improvement of
the attractive clubhouse were dis
cussed.
The matter of giving a show and
holding a charity bali came up for
discussion and it was pointed out
that with the approach Of the holt
day season money would be needed
to carry out the work of charity, for
which the best people on earth have
long been famous.
The election of directors was spir-
tied and resulted in the selection of
members and stockholders who will
compose the board for the ensuing
year as follows: Vail NJ. Pittman,
George l.. Hickey, II. w. Edwards,
Lee II. Murdoch, Thomas A. Bath,
John l.. Lake and F. G. Rowan.
A meeting OF the newly elected di-
rectors will be held tomorrow night
at 1870 o'clock, at which time the
officers of the club will be elected.
1t was the sense of the meeting
of the stockholders that rules should
be adopted in the future by which the
privileges of the club would be more
| rigidly restricted to members only
than in the past and the directors
will doubtless adopt strict measures
along these lines.

Car Snashed at
Buckeye Crossing

Peter Demersseman, a farmer
Of Garfield township, came to
town alone in his Oakland tour
ing car, Saturday afternoon. The
curtains were up and he drove
north On Buckeye avenue just In
time to make connections with
the locomotive of Union Pacific
passenger train, No. 1O3, which
was late and came in at 4:4O.
The touring car was struck as 1t
started over the crossing and was
thrown fifty feet into the Union
Pacific depot park, a tangled
wreck, fit only for the junk shop.
It was in a sense Mr.. Demersse-
mans lucky day for he crawled
out of the wreckage with only a
broken nose, cuts about the face
and bruises, none of which injur-
les are serious.
He says he counted on the
crossing Waterman being on duty
and seeing no one, though the
warning bell was ringing, weat
ahead. The watchman's hours
end at 4:3O and he had left the
crossing.

LAY FOR MOTHERS PENSION
County Commissioners All Set to
Be Economical

Be Economical
The able statesmen who arr
looking forward to making Il rec.
ord this winter in reducing taxes
are grinding the axe for the wild
Ows and fatherless children of
Kansas.
The county commissioners of
the state, in their recent annual
convention in Topeka, adopted a
resolution favoring the legislative
carving knife for the mothers aid
law in Kansas.
The mothers aid law enacted
two years ago, ended a long fight
by some of the women Of the state
for provision for the families Of
widowed mothers whereby they
could keep their children at home,
support them and educate them,
instead Of turning them over to
charity.
Kansas had maintained law
on the statute books several years
prior to 1921 which was called a
mothers pension measure, but
which meant nothing. That law
provided that in case Of proof Of a
claim for aid from the public funds
for widows with dependent chill
dren, "the county commissioners
may vote al dto help the family"
The word may" was the pivotal
word Of the measure. 1t meant
that the county commissioners
could do 30 IL they wished to-
and they seldom ever wished to.
Two years ago some determin-
ed women Of the state, led by
Mrs. T. d. Alden and Miss Mabel
Adams Of Topeka principally
backed by the welfare workers,
pushed a bill through the legisla-
ture which provided that In case
Of proof Of widowed mothers with
dependent children needing such
aid, "the county commissioners
Shall provide the aid" The word
shall" changed the entire 0per-
alton Of the law and made 1t a
living, effective measure.

When You Drive Your Car Give Heed

Ito the exclusion of all else.
Nevertheless, the conditions aris-

They're Not Decent.
For, as a rule, drivers are not
