Every Respect.

The senior class play given at the

evening in spite of being named, "The

name, as it was one of the greatest
successes in the history Of the high

respect. The house was entirely sold
out long before the doors opened, and
over $500 was netted for the fund to
leave the class memorial for the school,

making an evenings entertainment

P|TTMAN IS QUIET
ABOUT THE LEAGUE
The Senator was Once a Redhot
League Booster and Supporter
of Wilson But He lie Not
Dragging About Either

RENO, Oct. 1.-THE present en-
boroglio in the Near East brings
forcibly to mind that had Senator
Pittman and President Wilson pre-
vailed the United States undoubt-
edly now would be in fair way to
become mixed up in the tangle be-
tween Turkey, Greece and Great
Britain. For had Senator Pittman,
who at that time posed as one of
the spokesman of the White House,
been able to persuade enough SEN
ators to vote for President Wilson's
League of Nations the United
States now would have been a men,
Der of the League of Nations and
could not have escaped response
bility in the present crisis.
1t is surprising how quiet the
Democrats, particularly Senator
Pittman, have been about the
League of Nations during the pres
ent campaign. 1t is only a short
time ago that the late lamented
Jimmy" Cox returned from Europe
and began Immediately to spread
the pro-league doctrine. 1t didn't
take long for the Democratic lead
ers to put a "choker" on Cox,
however, and the Democratic cam
paign speakers have steered clear of
discussion of the League.
Senator Pittman has discussed
practically everything else but he
has never touched on the League,
1t would be interesting to hear what
his views are on the question.
There are great many voters
in Nevada who also would be inter
ested in hearing why Senator Pitt
man, after doing all in his power

STILL A FREE TRADER

Students of the history of the tariff bill
passed by the last Congress are amazed
at the propaganda being circulated by the
Democrats in their efforts to create an i'm
preston that Senator Pittman is not a
disciple of free trade.
The fact is that the Congressional
Record shows that Pittman either voted
against or was paired against practically
all of the amendments to the tariff act
proposed by the senate finance committee
which had charge of the BILL The ex-
ceptions were those articles in which Ne
vada producers are interested. And even
some of those were opposed by Pittman.
But that is not the worst part of the
record so far as it relates to Senator Pitt
man. The Record shows that although
he supported tariff on some articles pro-
duced in Nevada he nullified his own vote
on those amendments by voting against
the bill on its final passage.
All of this goes to show that Senator
Pittman is just as much free trader at
heart as are the leaders of his party. 1t
means that he stands for the Democratic
platform which declares for a tariff ''for
revenue only" which everybody knows
means free trade"
In the face of these facts which way dc
you believe Senator Pittman would vote
in case he is reelected and the Demo
Gratis should be returned to power during
his term? Do you believe that he would
insist on tariff being placed on Nevada
products or do you believe he would hop
onto his party bandwagon and stand for
free trade? In answering these questions
for yourself it should be remembered that
Senator Pittman has been one of the strict
est party men, in the United States and
that Democratic patronage is never be-
slowed on senators who attempt to "buck"
the party program.

TWO LINE HAUL CALLS
FOR A HIGHER RATE

In reopening the case Of the
Piedra Rock Company against the
Southern Pacific and Santa Fe, in
which it was contended that
ditferential of 20 cents ton for
hauling quarry products from the
Piedra plant on the Santa Fe, 40
miles from Fresno, is unjustified,
the California Railroad Commission
recently stated;
"The declared principle that a
two-line haul involving a short dis
lance is ordinarily entitled to a
higher rate than one-line haul for
the same distance is so firmly
established that it needs no serious
consideration. We find nothing in
the petition or in the oral argument
to warrant any change in our con-
elusion."

III. H. Beck of Reno was elected
county commissioner because he ex-
posed the violation of the law by
the old board, which provided that
all contracts over $500 must
be advertised. George Alt, the
man whom he beat, now writes an
open letter to Beck calling atten-
tion to the fact that Beck has been
guilty of the same work in letting
a contract for $1,742 without ad-
vertising it. Under the law he can
certainly be removed. (Handling
county funds, like they are their
own, is a characteristic of county
commissioners throughout the land;
but occasionally, community OF
real, intelligent people, take excep-
ton to the conventional crime and
Gust the birds.)

SAVING PEOPLES MONEY

Economies effected during the last fiscal
year by the postoffice department, where
by substantial sum was saved to the tax
payers of the country, bear testimony to
the effectiveness of the businesslike meth
DDS of the administration. Cost of opera
ton exceeded revenues by $6O,815, 400, as
against loss of 157,517,688 sustained
in the preceding twelvemonth period, so
that the saving actually made amounted to
the handsome figure of 500, 7O2,288.
In the long history of postal service in
this country there are only three years
recorded in which revenues balanced or
exceeded expenditures.
While it is not likely that under pres
ent conditions there will be any great
diminution in expenditures for personnel
which represents so per cent of the total,
there is still room for hope that greatly
increased volume of business may Weld
such returns as will eventually show a
profit. The parcel post, great as has been
its success, has by no means yet reached
the maximum Of which it is capable. When
worked to its fullest extent, this branch of
the service should be wonderful money
maker.

state engineers reports which show the
cost of conducting the affairs of that de-
partment have increased from less than
SGT, 900 in 1856 under William M.
Kearney, Republican, to approximately
$4,000 in the first twenty-one months of
1922, under James G. Scrugham, Demo-
crat.
Thus the pertinent question arises: If
Scrugham conducts the affairs of the state
engineers office in such a lavish manner
what would he do as governor? Do you
think he would be safe man, in the in
terest of economy and retrenchment, to be
the states chief executive?
