remarks as reported by the Reno
Gazette and others papers were
substantially correct. And no one
challenges that report to date, says
the Sparks Tribune.
But the grand jury, in session
at the instigation Of Mayor Stew
art, of Reno, finds that there is
harmony between branches of the
government and that Mr.. Wood
5urn was misquoted. And this in
the face of the fact that it is re-
ported that Mr.. WOODBURY. submit

Of seventy places in Reno where
liquor is being sold.
The question naturally arises in
the mind of the taxpayer: "What
was the use of a grand jury in
yestigation?" The average man
does not care the snap of his fling
er whether or not the federal and
city officers are on speaking terms.
The average citizen does not care
rap whether they cooperate at
all or not.
What the average citizen wants
is the laws of the land respected by
everyone in the land. If it is bad
law get rid of it. But as long as
it is a law it must be respected.
After all of the stir that was
made regarding the calling of the
grand jury, the people certainly
had right to feel that a deeper
investigation of bootlegging would
be made-that the grand jury would
not content itself with inquiring in
to surface conditions but would
get down under the surface and
recommend some method of reliev-
ing the community of this tester.

THE END APPROACHING

"Clean up the bootleggers, is the
cry you hear everywhere, not only
in Elko but throughout the state of
Nevada and every state in the
Union. This only goes to show that
when any movement swings to the
extreme, there is bound to be a
reaction. 1t will not be long before
there will be more of a stigma to

German china and porcelain reached
the United States in January-No-
vember, 1921, on the basis of de-
clared values, as in the first IL
months of 1920, according to the
official figures of the department of
commerce. The value of these Ger
man imports for the 1920 period
was $772,000, and for the 1921 pc
Rod, 81, 100000. The German pot
terry makers are now cutting their
prices to such a point that they are
actually prying out the Japanese
competitors for the American mar
ket. Our total imports of this class
of goods for the IL months of 1921
was valued at $11,50O,OOO, COM
pared with $9,906,000 in 1913.
while the preliminary official fig
ures do not show the quantity of
china and earthenware imported, it
is not unlikely, in view of the price
adjustments that are beginning to
appear in the worlds invoices, that
some part of the 1921 increase rep
resents larger quantities as well"
declares the department. So it is
not altogether the value that &C
counts for the increase. German
competition is making itself felt Gin
almost every market in. the world
but perhaps more SO in the Ameri-
can market than anywhere else. The
Republican tariff bill should ease the
situation, once it becomes law.

QUARTER OF A
BILLION SAVED

WASHINGTON, Jan. 28.-Few
people realize that the actual run
ming expenses of the government
have been cut approximately to the
pre-war figure through the drastic
economies instituted by the Repub-
lican administration, yet such is the
fact. That does. not mean, of
course, that the gross annual ex-
penditures have been reduced to
the level of 1916, but, with the
elimination Of the fixed charges di-
rectly due to the war, the country
is almost back again to the pre-war
expense rate. Interest on the pub
lie debt, compensation for former
service men, and sinking fund ap-
$4,000, 100000 Of annual charges
that must be met regardless of the
ordinary running expenses Of the
government. Republican economy
can have no effect upon them, so
that sum must be subtracted from
the total expenditures Of any year
to determine the comparative cost
of supporting federal activities.
Chairman Madden of the House
appropriations committee predicts
that the appropriations for the next
fiscal year will not exceed $780,
100000. That means that the ac-
tual operating expenses of the gov
eminent departments and bureaus
will not be greater than $1,500,000,-
600. That is only $250,000, 900
more than was spent each year be-
fore the war.
It is anticipated that the Genoa
conference will include representa-
tives from 45 nations. That is
about the number of members in
the league of nations. The very
fact that they are getting together
at Genoa testifies to the moribund
cofdition Of the league. The league
assembly provided means for gen.
ersl consultation among all of the
mdmbers, but the rules of the COW
enant restricting what the assembly
may do, and setting over it coun-
Gill Of eight big powers, were enough
to take the spirit out of any gath
ering. Whether the Genoa meeting
accomplishes anything or not, it will
at least be a free interchange of
vidws, unembarrassed by any such
threats and penalties as are pro-
vided in the league covenant. De-
spite that fact, we shall probably
hear that the Genoa conference is
patterned closely after the league
assembly, and that really Mr.. Will
son should be given full credit for
it. As matter of fact, the pro-
ceedings at Genoa will derive their
inspiration from what has taken
place in the free conference of the
nations at Washington, which Presi-
dent Harding originated and car
ried through to successful compile

I. II. KENT, FALLON MERCHANT
SPRINGS RATE RESOLUTION

According to the Sparks Tribune
a late Washington press dispatch
says: zone of the most important
features of yesterdays session of
the agricultural conference was the
resolution introduced by l. H. Kent
of Fallon, New, who is the sole
representative here from Nevada.
The Kent resolution deals with the
long and short haul question and
its introduction caused consterna-
ton in the ranks of railroad offic-
ials and attorneys. Mr.. Kent is a
member of the committee on trans
portation and while there are six
railroad representatives on the same
committe, by very forceful plea
he managed to carry a majority of
the committee with him and the
resolution was. accorded the right
of way in this mornings business.
Kent by getting his resolution be-
fore the conference brings to its
attention the bill introduced re-
Gently in congress having for its
purpose the correction of long and
short haul charges now inflicted
on this state. The merits of the
resolution are acknowledged by
those who have the interests of the
farmers and citizens of this state
at heart.
Kent was selected as a delegate
from Nevada by the state farm
bureau and the directors of the
Truckee-Carson irrigation district.
He has made a splendid impression
in Washington as result of his
earnestness and extraordinary bust
ness ability and is enthusiastically
working for the best interests of
the people of this state.
