REPEAL, NOT DELAY
is THE BEST

The author of the old-age pen
sion bill, which is now law, has
announced that he made an error
in writing its tax levy section, and
that it should have provided tax
of one and one-half mills upon the
dollar, not two and one-half mills
upon the one hundred dollars.
The difference is enormous. 1t
amounts to almost ten thousand
per cent. Had the authors desired
levy been applied the bill would
have imposed an annual tax upon
the state of 100000, instead OF
$4,000. 1t would have increased the
total state tax levy over forty pei
cent.
Meanwhile the law, at an in
sufficient rate, is upon the state
statute books. An amendment is
pending to delay its application
unil March 1, 1925, in the hope
that it will be repealed by the next
legislature, which is only a method
of passing responsibility.
The sensible thing to do, it would
seem, is for the present Legislature
to correct its own mistake by ar
immediate repeal. In the meantime
those particularly interested car
prepare data upon which to base 8
future law, should it be found de-
sirable and expedient to have one
enacted.-Reno Gazette.
The silver state. [volume] (Winnemucca, Nev.) 1909-1925, 1923-03-15
IT Is TO LAUGH

When justice is lax how can the
people be expected to revere the
law? The proprietor of a candy
store in Washington, D. c., was re-
Gently arrested for operating an I'M
sanitary place. Some 1000 pounds
of candy were confseated, kerosene
was poured over it and it was
burned. 1t had been stored where
the rats were messing in it, the
stock apparently being drawn on as
sales demanded. The offender was
fined $50 on plea of guilty.
Five times was this man hailed
before court for endangering the
health Of his patrons, and each time
he received a nominal fine. The
fines in the aggregate amounted to
$50 or about the value of 200
pounds of his candy sold at retail.
As a contrast to the candy man,
the case of Pennsylvania man
suggests the other extreme. This
case was reported the same day.
The culprit in question was sent
enced to serve three years in the
eastern penitentiary and to pay
a fine of 500 for the theft of
two chickens.-Tonopah Bonanza.
The silver state. [volume] (Winnemucca, Nev.) 1909-1925, 1923-03-15
AN ILL-ApVISED BILL

A bill is before the legislature
which seeks to change the primary
and secondary highway system
adopted by the state highway depart
ment, and accepted by the
federal government about year
ago. If the bill should become
law it would certainly involve the
state in an ugly tangle with the
federal government, which exer-
cises broad powers in the determine
ton of routes, and furthermore
would probably embarass the state
in its financial dealings with the
federal government ncernin
roads now under construction, to
which that government is the prin-
cipal contributor.
The bill should be defeated. 1t
would not make available one cent
of additional funds to any par.
ticular route, or hasten its build
ing by one day. 1t would, however.
provoke serious complications, and
would almost certainly delay the
highway program.-Reno Gazette.

tainly derelict in their duty toward
their guests when they permitted

HIGHWAYS AND GASOLINE
TAY

The Appeal has believed with
majority of the state senators that
money to be derived from a tax
on gasoline should be placed in the
general fund of the state and should
not go to the state highway fund,
as an assembly committee, which
has been considering the bill, be-
ieves.
That money, first of all should go
to the county roads funds, but since
its collection in the several counties
would cost so much as to make the
tax hardly worth while the next
best place for the revenue is in
the general fund of the state to go
toward a reduction of the general
tax levy.
The state highway fund should
receive a generous appropriation
for the actual construction of roads
and for moderate salaries of high
way officials and employees, but
there should be no unlimited ex-
penditure by that department such
as the revenue from the gas tax
might allow if the money were
placed in the highway fund.-Car-
son Appeal.
