CHAIN JOURNALISM A

1t is the Hearst brand Of journal
ism which is condemned in the
Manufacturer and Industrial News
Bulletin, although no name is men,
toned. Says the publication:
1.-THE people should not be blinded
to the menace of multiple owner
ship Of newspapers, or what might
be called chain-store journalism.
"This is fraught with evil to the
nation, when taken into considera-
tion with the trend to consolidation
or absorption of weaker big city
dailies.

owned newspaper of the utmost i'm
portance in maintaining sound poll
cies for state and nation.
"A democracy dependent upon
sound and unbiased information Of
its members may look with dismay
upon growing numbers Of big pa
pers falling into group ownership.

city dailies still reach over sixty

KEEP YOUR EYE ON FALLoN

A comparatively new settlement
within Nevada's borders that one
way or another manages to keep in
the limelight is that on the govern
ment reclamation project in Churc-
hill county, commonly referred to
as Fallon.
The farmers who comprise its
population have given it country
wide reputation as an alfalfa raiser.
Only successful mill management Is
needed to make it sugar beet
center, and that will eventuate.
1t is one of the sections in Ne
vada where there is real promise OF
bringing in oil wells, and recently
promising mineral prospects have
been made within its environs. But
its latest and greatest advertisement
is the production of cantaloupes-an
industry scarcely two years old,
but which this season will ship l50
carloads of superior melons.
Go to it Fallon. If your fertile
fields of alfalfa produce more than
the dairy cows of California can
chew, our burros will consume some
of it as change from their sage
brush diet. II the east cannot masti-
cate all your melons our husky min
ers Just banker for 'em. And II
YOU strike oil there's lost Of busy
machinery in our camp that requires
fabrication. Even should your min
eral products pan out we're not
afraid you will deprive us OF our
laurels as the richest silver camp
on earth-and won't be envious If
you should.-Tonopah Bonanza.

RADIO AND THE PEOPLE

A 1000-watt radiophone broad
casting station of the General Elec-
trio Company will be located in
Oakland, California in the very near
future.
The new station will be more
powerful than any station west of
Schenectady, N. Y. Its range of SER
vice will take in every portion of
the North American continent, in
Guiding Alaska and Panama. While
t will function regularly on 1000
watts, it will be built for double
that capacity, which, should the gov
eminent authorize its use, would
throw the human voice, spoken. in
San Francisco, one-third around
the world.
Every part of the equipment in
the power house and in the control
room will be duplicate, assuring un-
interrupted service. If one outfit or
part of an outfit breaks down dur
ing the operation period, another
part will be ready to be brought in
to the circuit.
By means of what is known as
remote control" the facilities of a
radio broadcasting station may now
De brought to banquet hall, theatre
or church and the audience hereto
fore limited, to the seating capacity
IF hall or church, is multiplied
many times. The church is con-
nected to the transmitting equip
nent by telephone lines and control
# broadcast material is maintained
n the church by operators.
The Pacific Coast station of the
General Electric Company will uti-
ize remote control" to broadcast
,hurch services and musical enter
tainments from San Fracisco and
Oakland. The Pacific Telephone and
Telegraph Company has offered to
provide land wire connection for
this type of service, it is announced.
Thus does radio broaden the field
of social, educational, religious and
commercial life in this nation

NEvADA's oFFIcEHoLDERs

They sit in majestic splendor and
their horde of non-producing satel-
lites bask in the effulgence of their
magnificence, and thrust their noses
little further into the public feed
trough. If by chance a bunch of
taxpayers has the temerity to ap-
pear before their august assemblage
and suggest that they are entitled
to some consideration for their par
ticular vicinity, that High and
Mighty aggregation smile supercil-
iously and emit large juicy COB of
their coustmary drivel in an effort
to an alibi. If they are importuned
somewhat they rise in their offended
dignity and bawl out, 1--WE are go

DEPORTATION A CURE

AS for the foreigners who are
from time to time accused of whis-
key law violations we are disposed
to look upon them less charitably
than upon native Americans. It
can at least be said of the latter
that their activities are the result
of a lack of standards and ideals
and not entirely of an utter dis
respect for American law and the
national flag. In many other in
stances these people have proved
their loyalty in such a manner as
to leave no doubt as to their citizen
ship when they become convinced
Of the demands of good citizenship
for the maintenance of certain at
titudes. But the foreigner breaks
our laws solely for gain and he will
break one law as quickly another
that is the type of foreigner who
is constantly becoming entangled
with the prohibition law. We have
recently had an example of their
particular style of citizenship in the
fact that many of them purchased
their naturalization certificates. It
is to be assumed that they believe
It as easy to purchase protection
from the enforcement of the law
as it is to become enrolled under
the American flag. The suggestion
that these people, upon conviction,
De deported to their native lands,
,trikes US as being about as force
ful a method of Kidding this nation
# their ill-smelling presence as any
yet unearthed.-Elko Independent.

LOGIC OF THE PACIFIST

To the timid souls who distrust
preparedness through the fear that
the nation may become militaristic
there is a word of consolation in
the address of General Pershing to
West Point graduates. Failure to
recognize national obligation
Clearly stated in the preamble of
our constitution has caused us to
risk our very existence in two great
wars" said General Pershing. And
hen he added:
"Our people want no more of
war, least of all those of US who
know most of its horrors; but no
intelligent citizen can ignore the
lessons of the past, and ordinary
prudence bids US take heed lest war
should again come upon US un-
awares.
There are not many persons who
would argue that carrying an UNI
brella would be sure to bring on
rain But these few seem to grow
into vast numbers in an insistence
that sensible preparedness is the
way to invite war.-Goldfield Trib-
usen.

MEAT FOR HEALTH WEEK

This week is meat week! 1t is a
week set aside to stimulate the use
of meat among the families of the
country. The reasons for pushing
the use of meat are many: 1t is a
well known fact that the meat-eat-
ing peoples out-live, out-work, and
out-think those whose daily menus
do not include this food. The use
of meat by the American family
has been on the decline ever since
the war started. There are various
reasons for this also, but we are
concerned only with the fact. The
department of agriculture is work
ing in cooperation with the Ma
tional Livestock and Meat Board to
make the campaign planned for this
week produce results, in persuading
the American people to use more
meat. Hence we have the week
christened Meat for Health week.
This campaign applies peculiarly
to Nevada; more so possibly than any
other section of the country. In the
first place stock growing is probably
the foremost industry of the state,
after perhaps, mining, and increased
meat consumption will only serve
to stimulate one of Nevada's great
est industries. In addition meat is a
necessary food for the production
of energy, and we need all the
energy that can be produced for we
have as heritage the only frontier
state left in the United States and
all the energy that can be developed
will scarcely be enough to properly
develop the vast possibilities.
Meat week is a good thing and
should be productive of results

We are reliably informed that
mining in this county, as well as
the state generally, is taking on a

ties, which are usually greater in
the spring, are unprecedented so
far this year, and all this in spite
of the weather.-Elko Free Press.

FORGET TO KNOCK

About one OF the most appropri-
ate notices hangs in the office of
a Nevada hotel. IF you can't
boost, keep your mouth shut" This
is rough slang language all right,
but sometimes such is the most ex-
pressive and is but an aftermath Of
that more refined request to saying
nothing at all of a person if no
good can be said.-Gardnerville

WHY NOT TRY ELECTIONS?

On the same day that these two
foregoing events were printed in
the newspaper, Henry Ford declared
in an interview that if the army
and navy were assigned to the task
of enforcing prohibition, the coun-
try would discover just how popular
The Volstead act is. Mr.. Ford de-
clared that the army and navy
could accomplish absolute prohibi-
ton. Not liquor, but the enforce.
ment situation is looming daily big
ger and bigger as the national prob
iem.-Reno Journa.

A Reno paper mentions the prob
ability of a wool growers pool in

something Of this kind was effected
two or three years ago and echoes
of it are still reverberating through

Evidently experience fails to teach.

Were You Stung?-
Complaints from several sources
registered at the offices of the Elko
Oil Development & Improvement
company in Elko intimate the pres
ence of fraudulent transactions by
which unauthorized statesmen have
acquired funds from unsuspecting
persons upon the representation that
they were disposing of securities in
that corporation. The company has
employed no travelling agents.
Stories emanating from Winnie
mucca intimate that some person
representing himself to be the au-
thorized agent Of the company has
disposed of stocks in that vicinity
to people who thought they were
buying the Elko Oil company's
shares. The subscribers money was
taken with the promise to deliver
the certificates but the money never
reached the company and conse-
quently no certificates were issued
covering the purchases. The sales
man making the supposed contracts
was entirely unconnected with the
company and was never authorized
to dispose of its shares.-Elko In

reform" THAT WON'T

Over in California they are 60
ing to inaugurate betless horse rae
ing. 1t will be almost as big a
joke as Volstead prohibition. A pre-
tense is made that the popularity
OF the sport of kings is due to the
excitement of seeing the ponies go,
but the real lure is a chance to
fatten the pocketbook by guessing
which pony will go fastest. The
gambling instinct can no more be
killed than the taste for alcohol
both are inherent traits of human
nature.-Tonopah Bonanza,

Elk. of Elko Seek Charter

To take up the granting of a
charter for an Independent Elks
lodge for Elko with the grand ex-
allied ruler of the order at Charlie
roi, Pa, Harold Hale, a newspaper
man, has left for that place.
This denotes expansion for the
Elks in Nevada. Already there are
three lodges in this state, at Reno,
Tonopah and Goldfield, while they
include in their membership Elks
residing in numerous Nevada COM
munities. Ely is soon to institute
an Elks' lodge.

Boys Navigate Humboldt
The Humboldt river was once
again conquered by two adventur-
Gus Elko youths Saturday, when
Eber Steninger and Harold Hansen
climbed aboard canoe and set sail
for Carlin, via Elko county's only
navigable stream. They took to
the water shortly before one o'clock
and started on their westward jour
ney at the foot of Third street.
A good idea Of just how crooked
the river really is, is obtained
from the fact that, padding their
light craft throughout the length
of the journey, and also assisted by
the force of the stream, they did
not reach their destination until one
o'clock Sunday morning.
The trip was a most interesting
and enjoyable one, the young men
state, although every time they came
to a dam, and there are quite a
number between Elko and the rail-
road town, the canoe would get
swamped, and it would become
necessary to stop the voyage long
enough to empty out the water

Quarrel Result. in Shooting

Joe Klath of McGill and his SON
in-law engaged in a gun battle,
which for q time threatened to
exterminate the family and destroy
the dwelling. According to the
report, the father and son-in-law
had been on unfriendly terms for
some time and a quarrel developed
which resulted in both men secur-
ing guns and opening fire on each
other in the house.
Klath used double-barrelled
shot gun and the other used a six
shooter. During the duel the daugh-
ter attempted to interfere and was
wounded in the arm. The wife of
klath, it is reported, was hit over
the head by one of the combantants.
