Reports prevail here that this is one
OF the contingencies which has been under
consideration by the men who are prepar-
ing for tho merger OF several Independent
steel corporations, and should sales tax
be adopted, then almost all the raw ma
terial needed for the corporation would be
in its own possession as is the case with
the steel corporation
In fact, it seems to be the belief that
II a sales tax is adopted it will be influ-
entail in bringing about many mergers
and consultations. The prediction is
made that sales tax will lead to the be-
ginning of new era Characterised by
the formation OF mergers far in excess of

REN0.-'When John II. Miller,
Republican candidate for governor
says that economy is one of the
planks of his platform, he is in no.
wise including education in insti-
tutions of the state as the object of
his economies" says Silas E. Ross,
Chairman of the Nevada Republican
State Central Committee.
Education is not one of the
things on which to economic ex-
cept in one particular case: the
present, wasteful system of having
state deputy superintendent of
public instruction: In making an
attack on the system one must
remember that the supposed duties
of deputies includes visits twice a
year to the separate school dis
tricts, an examination of records, a
careful observation of the work in
each district, and the advising Of
teachers to the management, and
organization of the school. He in
spects school buildings and ap-
pratus; his other duties include
the examination of teachers, the as
sisting in the preparation of courses
of study, and the attendance at all
meetings of the state board of
education to furnish information
pertaining to the schools of his
district when the board so orders.
"But herein lies the waste" con-
tinued Mr.. Ross. "How can the six
deputies in all the vast expanse of
The state of Nevada do the things
laid out for him to do and still do
t properly?
"Mr. Miller cites his own county
rs an, example. He says, Mineral
county has not had the benefit of
the required supervision on the part
Of the deputy, not because of the
willful neglect Of duty, but because
the field is too large to allow each
deputy the time to give to his dis
srict the proper attention. The
result has been that Mineral county
is paid flying visits and very little
# actual supervision can result
from that
"Thus," concluded Mr.. Ross, "Mr
Miller does not intend to limit APP
,ropriation but rather to either in
crease the number of state deputies
md create smaller districts or sub
titute something that will conform
% the ideals of the state superinten-
lent as well as the necessities of
each district in the state. This
might mean that each city or town
with its board Of trustees and its
'uperintendenk as well as the rural
districts with their boards might
take care of the problem for them
selves with the central supervision
of the state board of education"
In speaking of the university, Mr..

TEN YEARS AGO

Today Attorney L. G. Campbell
received a wire from Carson City
stating that the National Mines
company had been awarded the
verdict in its suit against the
Charleston Hill National Mining
Syndicate by Judge Harrington,
and that copy of the decision had
been mailed. While at the time it
Is impossible to determine the full
scope of the decision, it has un-
doubtedly been settled that the apex
of the vein traverses the West
Virginia claim lengthwise. This was
considered to be one of the most
important mining suits ever tired
in the country, and it is probable
that many precedents have been
established on the apex question
The full text of the decision will
be awaited with interest by tho
mining world.

The largest crowd that ever
gathered in the Nixon opera house
met there last night to listen to
Senator Massey and Congressman
Roberts discuss the issues of the

cradle condition. 1t was undoubt-

speedy cure. (After reading that
we made some little investigation re-
garding the point to which the editor
took immediate steps," and an old
timer tells US that he toddled over
to the Magnolia bar, and with one
foot resting on a brass rail and an
elbow cooked on the counter, took
four drinks of "Old Crow" waved
his wings and scared out of the

jackass whiskey had come into

Long-haired Indians with Roman
noses are not to be found in NE
vada, it was divulged when a mo-
ton. picture corporation filming a
production of Emerson Hough' S
Covered Wagon" at Baker, Ne
vada, failed in its attempts to find
$50 specimens of the long haired
type in this state.
The script called for the romantic
type of red man with the flowing
locks and the acquiline proboscis,
but the directors search of the state
failed to bring any to light.
Nevada Indians are more civil
lized that the kind you're looking
for" Superintendent H. A. Jenkins
replied to the directors inquiry.
Perhaps you can get them farther
east"
1t has been learned that $50
redskins of the needed type have
been found in Wyoming and they
will be imported to take part in the
big screen novel now being filmed
in Lander county.-Nevada State
Journal.
