BE KIND TO ANIMALS

The Censor Office received the pleas
ure of call from State Humane Offic-
er A. E. Frederick on Wednesday. Mr..
Frederick was here TO investigate a
complaint on neglect Of animals in
this vicinity made to his department.
The Censor editor was shocked to hear
of the many cases of neglect and cru
city which Mr.. Friedrich described.
That people will deliberately let their
stock starve to death or freeze to
death is almost beyond belief, yet ne is
called to take care of case after case
of this very thing. It would seem that
if a mans sense of responsibility and
kindness to his stock was not strong
enough to cause him to provide for
them properly, the economic side would
at least appeal to him. The producing
quality and service of animals is low
cred just in proportion as they are
neglected.

VANDALISM

How sorrowful it seems, at the
Christmas season to report that we
have some in our midst so lacking in
sense of decency as to steal from the
Community Christmas tree. Our bust
ness men and citizens donated money
and time to procure and decorate the
tree. 1t has been illuminated each
evening" sight of rare beauty to all
in and entering our Main street, yet
each day electrical fittings and deco
rations are being stolen from it.

ly send in their lists in order that we

Bert Newcombe, who now con-
ducts an electrical service station
at Yerington, showed up at Lud-
wig as a telegraph operator one
morning about fifteen years ago,
when Sam Arentz had completed
the job of building the Nevada
Copper Belt railroad to that point.
Newcombe has become "radio
bug" Of some class and has q fine
small "set" in his Yerington estab-
lishment.
Congressman Arentz was pleased
to receive q letter from Newcombe
the other day stating the latter
had been "heard on the air" by
George M. Phillips, another anna
teur residing at 413 East Capital
street, Washington, D. C. The con-
gresham verified the report by
calling on Mrs. Phillips. He, like
Newcombe, was proud of the radio
accomplishments.

GASOLINE TAX
FOR ROAD BUILDING

Eleven states have adopted the
gasoline tax as a means Of raising
funds for matching federal aid
for road building purposes, and
for maintaining these roads. The
State of Washington reports that
the one-cent tax. on gasoline Is
operating very satisfactorily and,
with approximately 10000 auto
mobiles, it raised over $86, 200
the first month the tax, was in
force. Colorado, with 129, 000
registrations, reports approximately
$26O,O00 per year on a one-cent
gas tax. Kentucky, with $4,000
registrations, reports approximately
100000 with a one-cent gas tax.
New Mexico, with $4,000 regis
trations and two-cent gas tax
reports that operation has been
held up on account Of a test case.
Oregon, with 100000 registrations
and a one-cent gas tax with "
cent on distillates, reports $500, 600
per year. Other states having this
tax have not made a report as yet,
The general opinion seems to
be that the gasoline tax is the
more equitable means of maintain
ing the road, and some states
consider it better for construction
and maintenance, while others are
using. the statewide bond issue for
constructing and the gasoline tax
for maintaining.-Texas Highway

PUBLIC OPINION

J. A. LANGWITH-T am a
great believer in the policy Of buy
ing your merchandise and other
needful things at home. Il is my
observation that the home town
prices, right here in this part Of

considered, than those obtaining in
the large centers. recently spent
several days in San Francisco and

cursions into the big stores of the

dashery in advance Of leaving here
and through curiosity, and to con-
firm my long entertained conviction
I made comparison of prices. It
is gratifying that my belief was
sustained by the facts. am not
claiming that you can buy things
cheaper here, taken by and large,
than you might buy them for in San
Francisco, for example, but l do
claim in the most emphatic sense,
that you can on the coast. People
who buy goods should bear in mind
that the primary cost Of every man.
ufactured article is fixed sum that
retailers use about the, same meth
DDS in the salesprocess. For this
reason apparent cheapness can only
be brouht about by substituting in
ferior articles which too frequently
befool the customer. The subject
Of home buying may be worn more
or less threadbare, yet there are
arguments which can still be urged
which have hitherto been neglect
ed.
