COMMISSIONERS AND
EDWARDS CROSS BATS

At the Tuesday afternoon session
of the county commissioners wer.
some fireworks over the exense bill
of $94.0S for a recent trip of Prose
cutting Attorney Edwards to Carson
City. The regular bills had beer
audited and allowed in the forenoon
but this one was laid aside for the
time. In the meantime Mr.. Edwards
was busy in the justice court. Two
messages were sent to his Office to
come up to the commissioners room
before he learned of 1t and he then
came Immediately and hastily asked
il he could not be excused for about
twenty minutes.
; Yes we have waited two hours
for you, so | guess twenty minutes
more won't make much difference,
answered Commissioner Robert A
Baird.
After Mr.. Edwards return Mr.
Baird asked him to explain the ma
ture of the county business upon
which he went TO Carson.
The district attorney replied that
he went TO confer with the attorney
general in the matter of proceed
ings for the collection of $4,000 tul-
lion AK fro mthe Nevada Consoli-
dated Copper Company, to discuss
with Mr.. Diskin the question of
whether or not the county could GO
above the S. tax rate, and that while
there he had drafted a bill definitely
limiting the rate for all purpotes
TO So.
Asked if this could not have been
done by correspondence. Mr.. Ed
wards said he had had some CORE
s~pondenee with the attorney general
but that ii had not been satisfactory
and he concluded hat it would be
better at that time, when Mr.. Diskin
was so busy with the legislative ses-
sion, to go in person and get at the
facts directly by personal confer.
ence. He reminded Mr.. Baird that
he had asked him privately about
the trip and that the commissioner
had not objected and said he thought
it was understood or that it was all
right.
rs there any truth in the umo
that you received a telegram to go
to Carson and furnish additional in.
formation to be used in the trial OF
Judge McFadden and that YOU went
in response TO that" asked Mr..
Baird.
1T is absolutely false" replied
Mr.. Edwards with some heat. MY
trip there had nothing whatever to
do with Judge McFadden. Before
I saw Mr.. Diskin he had learned
through the White Pine News of the
obscene language used by Mr.. Var
gas in the Dawn Margaret Williams
trial and asked me to testify to it.

PESTS REDUCE

Most Of Southern Georgia
Crop Destroyed by
Boil WeevN.
BY TOM EvERRITT,
COsmopolitan News Service.

Two reports OF the United states
Department OF Agriculture on the
cotton crop seem to be continuing
and In apparent conflict.
The important cotton crop fore.
cast IL the subject Of one report,
which says, in part: forecast Of
q cotton crop Of 11.516.O0O bales Of
500 pounds gross weight is made BY
the department for the date Of July
25 In report issued on August /.
The final outturn may be larger or
smaller than. this amount, according
to conditions developing during the
remainder Of the season prove more
or less favorable to the crop than In
an average year.
'The estimated condition Of 67.z
per cent compares with 6S.9 per
cent on June IS, 7O.8 per cent on
July Is. 1929. and 72.4 per cent, the
average on July Is Of the past ten
years.
from June as to July Is the
average decline In the condition per.
centage IL sc, and the decline this
year is 1T: hence this years de-
cline during the month, although
absolute, IL relatively less than the
average"
The other report, that Of the
Bureau OF Agricultural Economics
Of the department, says In part. re-
garding the cotton crop outlook:
"In Florida and the southern part
of Georgia, South Carolina, and
Alabama the damage from boil
weevil has been serious practically
the entire crop having been de
stroyed In southern Georgia. The
crop in the middle parts OF South
Carolina, Georgia, and Alabama
declined as q result Of recent rains,
while the upper parts of these
States report improved condition
and heavy fruiting. In Mississippi
and Louisiana, the crop deteriorated
due to damage from boil weevu and
army worms. There was too much
rain in these States, except In the
northern and western part OF LcGisl-
ana, where It was too dry.
I'm Texas and Oklahoma the crop
continued to decline. due to the
drought. There IL considerable
shedding in these states. but weeyil
damage has been checked by the
dry weather. Picking is extending
northward in Texas with light bolis
opening prematurely. Leaf worm IL
also doing some damage. In
Arkansas conditions are spotted,
with boll weevil damage increasing
in many areas where recent rains
have favored weevil activity.

Mexico from the United States,
chiefly in mining development.

which figures largely in export
trade.
Because Of the disturbed diplo-
matte and commercial intercourse
between the two nations, Anneri.
can exports to Mexico dropped to
S113 900. 900 last year. Imports ag-
gregated only 35,0oO.0Oo in value.
Figures May Double.
The next fiscal years record may
show a doubling of these figures.
American exports to Mexico should
be especially heavy, as Mexicans
are greatly in need Of machinery
and manufactured goods, normally
supplied by American merchants.
The government will assist Amer.

cial agents to different provinces Of
Mexico. American merchants also
will have the benefit of special

3 MILE LIMIT
AN ARBITRARY
REGULATION

Chicago, Feb. THE three mile
limit off the coast Of the United
States was a purely arbitrary and
fictitious limitation which has been
made obsolete by modern invention,
according to statement by DR..
Clarence T. Wilson of Washington,
Of the Board of Temperance, Prohi
bition and Public Morals of the
Methodist Episcopal church, made
public here today.
"When the doctrine was written b y
Bynkerschoek,' says the statement,
"the extreme range of a shore can
non was three miles andsas a sover-
eign nation can only claim to exercise
jurisdiction which he is in fact able
to police and defend, the three nile
limit was supposed to be the logica!
boundary of national authority.
"Today the extreme range of q
cannon on short is certainly not less
than twenty miles and might, in fact
be very much greater. The United
States should assert and maintain
the doctrine that it has the right ia
defend itself by any necessary means
against attacks upon its laws which,
constitute nothing less than form
of warfare.
"Rum running vessels have re.
peatedly congregated off the New
Jersey coast outside, the three mile
limit. If necessary in order to han
die the situation, United States de-
stroyers should be ordered to cap
ture or destroy any rum running
ship which approaches close enough
to the American shore to establish
contact.
AT this time the American people
cannot be expected to be patient
with far fetched legal technicalities
The. American people have always
known the answer to insult and ia
jury. The government should make
that historic answer and it can bt
best spoken from the throats of nava
guns"
