NEW TAX POLICY
ADOPTED BY j. S.

Capt. J. P. Donnelley, director of
prohibition for Nevada, has made
public a communication from the
bureau at Washington instructing
internal revenue officers that double
taxes assessable against manufac-
turers of illegal beverages or the
sellers thereof shall not be collected
in future by distraint until the per-
sons thus taxed shall have an op-
portunity to be heard. This policy
has been adopted, it is set out, in
view of a recent ruling in a case
docketed under the title of Iipke
VS.. Lederer, collector.
Such double taxes are to be re-
garded in law, the notice says, as
penalties and shall not be collected
until after hearing, according to
the Gazette. 1t also admonishes the
field officers that all assessments
of taxes and penalties heretofore
made upon which collections have
not been made and which are now
outstanding "shall be retained on
the assessment books as proposed
assessments, but collections by dis
traint shall be made thereon until
the person chargeable Herewith
shall have had hearing"
While there are no cases of this
character pending in Nevada, there
are thousands of them on the books
in other districts and this will ma
terially affect the routine in the
offices of collectors of internal rev.
enue before whom the hearings are
to be conducted.
Bell would have beaten any one of
his opponents in a single-handed
race. Surely Bell did not put
forth any unusual exertions, under
the circumstances. He did not have
to put up any fight. His opponents
made the fight for him and split the
opposition three ways. Quite likely
if he had been forced to do his
we had mind to say damnedest-
best, or worst, he could have gotten
several of the votes that were
cast against him. At any rate, he
won and if he was in the least sur
prised nothing has been shown to
indicate the fact, and it is a certain
fact that The Silver State editor
would have, been surprised had any
other result been consummated.
Nationally, there have been some
changes, but naught more than was
to have been expected, and nothing
has transpired that will not work
out to the final good of all. The
Republican majority in the House
has been appreciably cut and in sew
eral instances, with which we are
peculiarly familiar, the country is
better off in having made toe
changes. Again, it will tend to show
the Republican party that it must
watch its step, most sedulously, if
it does not desire to lose control of
the government, two years from
now and that, too our mind, would
prove little short of disastrous
for the country at large.

can do nothing but read to pass away
the time.
The American Legion auxiliary,
composed Of the wives, mothers and
sisters of service men, is endeavoring
to have personal, cheerful letters
written to these men. Now the Legion
is trying to have people in the mems
home towns send the hometown
newspaper to them, either every day
or every week.
There are not more than five or six
ex-service men from any average-slzed
town in hospitals, the Legion esti-
mates, and asking newspaper editors
their hometown boys in hospital Is
not asking too much, nor more than
citizens would be willing to do. The
Legion is forwarding to its officials in
each state lists of names of men from
that state in hospital, and asking that
local newspaper editors send their pa
pers to these men. Newspaper edi-
tors who are interested, the Legion an
nounces, are asked to signify their
willingness and to request lists OF

Almost exhausted, Pollyop forced

Then Mrs. Hope noticed Bennett.
His eyes gazed at her a moment and
then moved back to Polly.
The old woman hobbled to the cot,

"Mebbe !" was all she could say.
"Poor man." the woman muttered,
wrlnkllng up her face. "Dyin's awful
hard thing for some folks"
A startled expression, smoothing
away some of the hard lines, spread
over Oscars face. In the presence
of death, which every squatter held

down upon her knees beside the bed.
Her own hurt had been overcome by

And there, while the rain dashed Its

Improvements at Bell Cafe.

When the finishing touches are
given the Bell Cafe in very few
days it will mark the completion of
several months of steady improve
ments and installing Of new equip
ment, and give to Brookhaven one
Of the largest and finest cafes in
the state. There will be ~ feet Of
yitrolite glass topped counters, and
nine vitrolite glass topped tables.
vitrolite glass is the latest thing in
dining room equipment, and is more
expensive than marble.
The entire dining room has been
newly painted, and the walls decor
ated with beautiful panel pictures.
These panel pictures are IN feet
wide, one 80 feet, one 20 feet, three
10 feet and two 5 feet in length. Six
wall mirrors give metropolitan at
mosphere to the place.
Two cabinet refrigerators and two
ice boxes are required to care for
the kitchen and store room needs, as
fresh and cured meats, fish, vege-
tables and cream must be kept in
separate places. The dishes are
washed by an automatic washer and
sterilizer. The store room of the
Bell resembles a wholesale grocery
establishment. Double ranges, with
a twelve foot range top space, pro-
vide room for preparing the food.
and ten feet OF steam tables keep 1t
right for serving.
The proprietors of the Bell will
gladly show anyone through the
kitchen at any time, as they are
proud of the completeness Of the
place and its perfect sanitation.
