A
LICENSE LAW IS BAD

Nevada's vehicle license law IL ad-
mittedly bad but cannot be corrected
until another Legislature convenes.
The iniquity complained Of more and
more as individuals are crossed with
the present statute has to do with the
failure of the law to authorize the re-
turn of moneys to automobile own
ers who drive their carr out OF the
State for good. and others who may
sell their cars during the period for
which the license is issued. In both
cases the licenses are dead and the
unearned license money reverts to
the State, which is wrong. President
Walter j. Clark, Of the Nevada State
University, entered formal protest
against the ruling and was informed
that the Attorney General directed
the Secretary of State that he had no
latitude In the matter inasmuch as
the law does not admit of any other
course except the confiscatory meth
DDS prescribed and In vogue.
It is not possible for the man who
sells a car to transfer the license
which dies with the sale. II the seller
buys a new car both himself and the
man who got the old bus must buy
again.

GOLD HILL STRIKE
END is DISCUSSED

Virginia City, Nevada, May 23.-
Because of the small attendance at
the meeting OF miners called last
night to discuss the Gold Hill strike
situation here nc definite action to-
wards calling off the strike was taken
but the general expression of opin-
ion was to the effect that the strike
should be called off.
A committee of three was appoint
ed to confer with the original COM
mittee that was acting for the min
ers when the walk-out occurred to
take action towards calling off the
strike.
There were but six of the men who
walked out originally, and had not
returned to work, present at the
meeting.
According to officials Of the COM
pany and some of the miners the
trouble has all been adjusted and
there is apparently nothing to do ex-
cept to make a formal declaration
that the strike is ended in order that
miners from other points will come
to the Comstock with the understand
ing that the strike against the Gold
Hill properties is not in effect.
Notifications of the working rules
at the mine, which caused the trouble,
have been made. The men go down
the shaft at the whistle, eat on their
own time, and start out of the shaft
when the whistle blows for the end
of the shift.
There were 230 men working un-
foreground yesterday and 376 work
ing on the surface in the properties
of the United Comstock which were
the only one affected. Four or five
men are being added each day to the
underground forces.

BIG ELKO RANCHERS
INVOLVED IN LAWSUIT

Elko Free Press: ]. J.. Hylton,
the ]. j. Hylton Ranching Company
and Archie r. Clayton are made de-
PENDANTS in q suit Instituted Wednes-
day In the district court Of Elko
County by Albert w. Clayton and Ar
thur L. Clayton. former co-partners
with the defendants In one of the
largest improved ranches in this sec
ton. A receiver is asked for and an
accounting of the business OF the CO.
partnership for the ten years the
agreement between the partners was
in force. No stipulated amount Is
mentioned in the suit for which ac-
ton is brought. 1t being supposed
that this figure will be determined
when favorable action is taken when
the case m to trial, and after the
accounting prayed for Is consummat-
ed, but judging from the size of the
ranch involved the sum is no doubt
Of large amount.
In June, 1912, was organized the
partnership between the plaintiffsand
defendants; there wer 29.400 acres
of land included together with 2620
head Of cattle, 800 head of horses
and mules and $500 tons of hay.
When the partnership was dissolved
in January of this year, 1t is alleged
that there was a sum due to the
plaintiffs after the lands and live
stock were included as collateral for
a loan of 100000 obtained by the
Hylton Ranching Company from a
Pacific coast bonding company.
In order for the Hylton Ranching
Company to secure the necessary col
lateral on a loan ON other holdings
not included in the partnership it was
necessary to include the partnership
holdings in the collateral, and the
partnership was dissolved.
The Claytons are represented by
Vincent and Vincent. a law firm of
Colorado, and Otto T. Williams of
Elko. The value of the ranching
property concerned is thought to be
close to 100000.

TAXES PAID IN
NEVADA AND CALF.

Each day there seems to be added
proof that public financial affairs In
Nevada are well managed. says the
Carson Appeal.
Particularly in comparison with
other State governments does Me-
vada show up as q State where econ
omy is practiced and the comparison
with California is especially striking.
While the tax limit of IS is being
reached for the first time in this State
this year, and hat only In n or
two counties. practically every coun-
ty in California is paying Sc or over
and the increase each year there Is
becoming much larger. In Butte
county the rate was approximately
$3.50 last year and an additional
twelve per cent will be added this
year..
The financial letter Of the Ameri-
can National Bank presents some in
teresting, il not amazing. figures on
taxation in California-how It in
creased In 1921 over 1920. State
taxes were s3o.022,705 over $780,
014,675; municipal taxes were $751;
S49,453 over $~46.376,633; special
and district taxes, collected by coun-
ties, s45,605.230 v $2S,635,953:
Federal tax, s1S1,76s.192 over $179.-
267 1865. The totals were $366,620,-
s10 over $323,955,S35.
whereupon the letter comments:
Several things in this table are
worthy of remark. One is that every
taxing authority, without exception,
demanded and received more money
in 1921. Notwithstanding that prices
of labor and commodities were con-
siderably lower than in 1920, and a
given amount in dollars would buy
~appreciably more in goods or SER
vices. Another is that the good-nat-
ured people of California pay a little
more than a million dollars a day in
taxes. If each morning the people
would load one million dollars on
trucks and drive to the tax collec-
tors office, and II they would repeat
this performance every day in the
year-Sundays, holidays, and all
they would still owe a million dollars
to the tax collectorsl The fact that
there Is any money-left with whichto
capitalize industry and agriculture Is
proof Of the amazing resources OF
California and the resourcefulness Of
C~alifornians."

NEVADA PRESS COMMENT
LIQUOR Law TIGHTENs


Carson Appeal: From reports Of
the activities Of the prohibition ON
cers in western Nevada there is ev-
are being frightened until 1t will be
almost impossible to buy a drink.
At Virginia City last night the
raids made by Capt. Donnelly and
his men were evidently thorough, for
nine arrests were made. The arrests
have been coming so fast in Washoe
County that 1t Is said to be almost
impossible to secure liquor there
now, and at various other points
there is increased activity by the ON
GERS.
This tightening will have the effect
OF forcing more open expressions OF
the public opinion OF the liquor laws
of the State and Federal government
az they now stand and q satisfactory
prohibition law may be the result.
There has long been the cry: EN-
force the prohibition law or repeal
it." II the rigid enforcement makes
prohibition as unpopular as its en-
emies claim, it will not be long be-
fore the Law Is modified. There will
never be a repeal of the act. but there
may be modification If the public in
sists upon 1t.
Some acquire riches by work, 9TH
ers have riches thrust upon them by
their parents, and others bootleg.
In life, as ON the road, you will
avoid nearly all collisions II you keep
to the right.
DIVERSIFIED FARMING
AT FALLON
Tonopah Times: 1t has been an
uphillpull for the ranchers of Church-
i'll County but. to their everlasting
credit, let 1t be said, they are getting
there in the most approved fashion,
displaying more energy. initiative
and progressiveness than any other
county in the State. Under the cir
cumstances 1t is not difficult to fore
east the future growth and develop
ment through the cooperation OF
capital and agriculture. Having es-
tablished the foundation of prosper
ity with bumper crops Of alfalfa the
husbandmen Of the district gradual
ly extended the scope of their opera
tions until now 1t is noted that among
the deeply rooted products are beet
sugar. celery. cantaloupes. dairy
farming to the extent OF opening a
prosperous creamery with the pros
pect of introducing cheese making.
Poultry farming is gaining Roadway
and 1t win not be long before Fallon
will become a rival Of the famous
Petaiuma industry. As a stock feed
ing center the project promises to de-
velop a highly remunerative business
during the dormant season and at the
same time furnish fertilizer for keep
ing up the productivity Of the soil.
The only regret ID the suspension OF
the sugar factory. but this IL not
hurtful In the long run for 1t viii en-
able the farmers to become more In
innate with the cultivation OF the
sugar beet so that when another
years campaign is opened a COM
mensurate acreage will be available

rapid development of the dairy in
dustry Is found in the statement OF
l. =. Cline. Federal agriculturist. who
reports 5000 dairy cattle on the
farms Of Churchill County.

Whether or not operations will be
resumed on the Jones Wallace test on
the billiard farm, in the northeast or
the southeast quarter of the south
west quarter Of the northwest quar-
ter Of section q, 4s.2w, southwest OF

Jones, Jr., general manager Of the
Jones Brothers Drilling Company ana
one OF the operators interested In the
test. Mr.. Jones states that drilling
will be guaranteed to total depth
of $500 feet, and II necessary, will
be carried to 1000 feet, provided that
sufficient acreage is given by ad'
jacent land owners to warrant such
expenditure in the Hewitt deep test.

shape to drill to 1000 feet for its
present depth is 27t0 feet in an sh
inch hole and the 81 inch casing has
