/ Contrary stars rule this day. ac-
ccording to astrologists. Early in
the morning Jupiter is in benefic
aspect and late in the day Neptune
is friendly. but during the busiest
hours Mars and Uranus are strongly
adverse.
1t is a planetary government un-

Jupiter encourages initiative, de-
structive forces are strong and the
tendency may be to take foolish risks
All the signs again appear to

will be much attention centered
on the army. or at least on the
preparation for national defense.
Mars is in a place of sinister
portent and the seers give little
hope of world peace.
Wrong thinking. which means
envy, greed. jealousy and suspicion,
may be prevalent In the next few
months when public questions will
arouse a divergence of opinion.
This is not a favorable sway for
domestic happiness. the stars in

women to be sensitive.
All the planetary influences tend
toward the sort of individualism
that makes family life exceedingly
difficult.
The loss Of the ideal of unselfish-
ness is one ct the causes of divorces
and lack Of home life. the seers
point out. and they add that this
year will bring the nation face t.

SUGAR COATED
TAXES SCORED

Removal of concealed taxation,
through which the consumer pays
more than he ever dreamed OF,
would do more than any other one
thing to solve the phenomenon OF
present high costs, according to
William Sproule, president of the
Southern Pacific railroad company,
who thus committed himself in the
course of a talk before the men,
bers of the Pacific Traffic associa-
ton in San Francisco recently.
Sproule said that the modern ten
dency is to levy taxes in such a
manner that they are not apprec-
lated readily and fully and that the
policy is an error and permits OF
the levying Of greater taxes than
the public otherwise would support.
81 am not just adding one more
voice to the merry chorus Of opti-
mists when I say that business OF
the country is on the upgrade" he
said. "Prices for farm products
are improving, copper mines are
preparing to resume and the bank
ing situation which was rather SER
ious some months ago is easing
up"

The most pitiable object in the
world is the confirmed user of
drugs. Winnemucca residents were
treated to an exhibition this week
by one possessed of varying lido
syncrasies, seemingly reflexes Of a
subtle narcotic. Norma, motherly
and wifely conceptions are lost to
the minds Of unfortunate woman
kind that uses drugs; every normal
ambition Of the male is lost to him
who becomes a drug addict. Sure
ly there Is some way to prevent
the use of drugs outside of the
sickroom.

DANGEROUS
PRACTICE

It is only step from the robbery
of wine cellar to the robbery Of
bank, or store, or a residence,
1t is only a step from fragrant dis
regard of the national prohibition
law to fragrant disregard Of the
laws enacted to protect your life
or the virtue of your wife or
daughter. Disregard for law is a
most insidious thing and grows
apace. If for no other reason
than to re-establish ideals, the ma
tional prohibition law must be en-
forced, distasteful and expensive
though it may be to do SO. Men
and women must be taught anew
that law is law and must he res
pected and conformed to.
There is today a general laxity
of law enforcement and the public
has suffered and is suffering Nigh
tily from it. Business men know
that a change of mental attitude
has come about and that those who
formerly held business obligations
sacred are today as ready to break
business contracts and seek loop
holes through which they can relin-
quish obligation as the average
Japanese.
Probably the decentralization that
comes from war has united with
the growing disregard for law to
usher in a state of affairs in the
United States that is enough to
make the old Puritan turn over in
his grave.
Maybe, after all, men are in truth
as little children and need res
traint in greater measure than is
now dealt out. Anyway whether
it be the mailed fist or social ostra-
cising something must be introduced
into. the pot pourri very soon to
temper the actions Of men. The
lessons of the period are not lost
to the minds Of those in control
of this nations affairs. and unless
we mistake the signs some very
drastic action will soon be set afoot
directed against those who elect to
live by their wits and in ways ne
farious.

While other centers Of popula-
ton are suffering the bursting Of
business bubbles, the people Of this
county can sit SNUG and compla-
cent, safe from the reaction that
attends elsewhere. Humboldt coun-
ty business has been sound always,
hence bubbles are unknown here.
This is a truthful commentary that
cannot be urged in many localities.

OFFICE HOLDING
AND MONEY MAKING

It becomes evident that the man
who holds public office is not des-
tined to lay by a large store
of money. One only needs to
look about him to note the truth
of this statement. We are mind
ed to make this comment by the
testimonials put forward by men,
bers of Nevada's state officialdom.
Despite seemingly generous salar-
les singular unanimity prevails when
finances are discussed.
Nevada's governorship has bank
rupted many men, if we are to
believe the sage who recites Of
ficial experiences covering the last
half century. Yet the sordid tes-
timonials will not deter others from
coming forward this year to serve
statewide constituency. Many
will seek gubernatorial honors and
as many with q single exception,
will taste defeat. Every aspirant
feels it in his bones at this juno
ture that he alone is the Noses
to restore prosperity to the state,
set activities in motion after the
fashion of half dozen year ago,
and thus make a hundred thousand
people happy and contented.
Up in Carson City a splendid
mansion stands for the use Of the
states chief executive. It is there
through expenditure Of the peoples
tax monies. Other perquisites are
added to the yearly salary of sew
en- thousand dollars. Twenty-eight
thousand dollars for each four-year
term seems on its face to be q
comfortable stipend, yet the de-
mands of the office are such that
men lose financial ground when
they become Nevada's governor. We
are assured that this has been the
experience Of all who have filled
the high position since Nevada
statehood rights were granted.
But Nevada will have governors,
good, bad and Indifferent, SO long
as the statehood right endures.
Men seek power even more Gag
erly than money. Indeed, they
strive for money largely because
it gives them power. But power
without money is very attractive
thing to the normal man.
