City Election
Candidates
Close Vote Antici-
pated Next
Tuesday

Thecity election which takes place
on Tuesday. May sth, will have be-
come new history by the next issue OF
this paper. At the present time there
Is considerable activity among those
who are candidates and the friends
of those who are seeking office.
The main contention will be over
the mayorship of Falion. In this
contest Mayor Clarke, who is up for
reelection, is making his fight on
the record of the past two years, he
contending that the improvements
and his activities are his qualifica-
tions for reelection.
George Spreyer, one of the free
thinkers of Fallon, and whose stan
dard is for good government, while
not out doing real campaigning is be-
ing urged for the position by many
friends. There is no question as to
his ability, and no one questions the
fact that he has a mind of his own.
J. N. Tedford, the third candidate
for the office, is one of the sound
citizens and his record as a business
man is being urged by friends over
the city as material for the position.
BY the three entering the political
arena it has undoubtedly split the
vote, and will make close fight any
way it is figured. All three men
have staunch supporters who are urg-
ing the merits of the men, and Fallon
will have business administration
any way the election goes. During
the past few days the contest has
warmed up and it seems to be guess
as 10 who will reach the persimmon.
In the first ward the three corner
ed fight is between E. ]. Maupin. Sr.,
c. L. Benedum, incumbent, and Mona
Kinney. The lady in the race is
the unknown quantity that may cut
maJorities, as should the women of
her ward cast a solid vote she un-
doubtedly would be elected. Many
votes from the men of the ward will
go to her cause.
In the second ward two new can
didates are on the ticket. Ed Fraz-
zini and ]. e. McLain. This promises
to be a close contest, as both have
the same object in yiew-good gov
ernment. Both are reliable business
men and they each have the backing
of those who urged them into the
race. 1t is anybody's race up to the
present time.
In the third ward o. ]. Vannoy, a
new gunner is in the front line, while
Jack Flood, incumbent. is seeking re-
election. Neither of the two have
made any strenuous fight.
From the registration and the cop
ying of the names at the clerks Of
flee it is evident that the full vote
will be called out next Tuesday.
There have been a number of trans
fers and few names added to the
voting list, while number of alb
sent voter ballots have been sent out,
as the candidates like the voting pub
lie, feel that it is going to be close
fight and that each vote will count.

apportion them methodically to the
various producers.
But one might say to me, This is
too great a task; 1t will take so
long to inaugurate; the present gen.
Grafton will not receive the benefit
of it; it is too paternalistic. How
can you compel a farmer to produce
what you want him to-"
To this / would answer: 1t is no
greater task to ascertain what is your
share of production, than it is to es-
tablish your just portion of taxes,
and the same machinery that attends
to the latter will also run the former
at possibly no additional cost The
assessor who visits your farm to as
certain your taxation will also know
your production-one depends Oh
the other. The state board of taxa
tion will apportion your share of pro-
duction, and notify you in time, 50
that you may still have time enough
to agree with it on any change that
may be found mutually desirable, so
that finally the Department of Agri-
culture can say to YOU" This is your
share of supplying the worlds needs,
and the market will accept from you
so much of this, that or the other
crop of certain standard grade, ana
you will deliver same to such and

all foctors considered. This is neither
paternalism nor compulsion; merely
common business sense, need take
scarcely any extra time, nor cause a
ripple of confusion in the transition.
While we are thus systematiEing
one feature of economics, that of
fundamental production, other feat
ures-distribution and exchange
will present themselves and should
receive attention in due order, how
ever at this time let US eonfine our
efforts to production.
Just like in tuning pianos, you es-
tablish the basic note and then at
tune all other strings to harmonic
with it, so is agricultural production
the basic key of economics, and once
given its true status, enables us to
arrange all other activities in CON
formity with 1t.
This thought likewise has been ex-
pressed by our secretary of agricul-
ture during his recent visit to Cal
ifornia.
To start the ball rolling l will
bring this matter up for discussion
at the next meeting of the CONNER
cial club on Monday evening, May 2,
that we may view it from its various
angles and if deemed to afford the
remedy, as the writer believes it will,
to launch a campaign for the purpose
of relieving agricultural production
of the uncertainties that now beset
it, putting it on a stable footing.

DISMISS SHOOTING CASE
AGAINST j. NJ. DYE

The preliminary hearing before
Judge Jones in the case of the state
VS.. James NJ. Dye, who was arrested
for shooting e. II. Trout, in Dixie
Valley, occupied several days last
week
Witnesses for both prosecution and
defense were brought in from the
scene of the shooting, but there be-
ing no eye witnesses circumstantial
evidence only could be used.
Following the case Judge Jones
took the case under advisement until
the transcript of testimony could be
reviewed. Tuesday morning he en-
tered his judgement that the de-
fendant be discharged for lack of
evidence.
The shooting early this month in
Dixie Valley resulted in the wound
ing of Trout, he being shot through
the neck and through the hand. Dye
admitted the shooting and set up a
plea of self-defense, which was we'll
born out during the hearing. The
wounded man has practically reeoy-
cred from his injuries, and while the
bullet in his neck has not been re-
moved it does not seem TO ineonyen-
fence his to any great extent.
In the case of Dye character wit
nesses showed that he has always
born a good reputation and has been
a man of peace.

There has come to me, as a crop
reporter, the following inquiry from
the Department of Agriculture which
l consider pregnant with great re-
forms, but which will take our fullest
cooperation to put over:
'"The Department is planning to
establish regular annual reports on
intended acreage to be planted. Such
reports, published before spring
planting If actually accomplished,
should be of great value to farmers
in modifying their plans to prevent
serious yerplanting or underplant-
ing of particular crops. This in
quiry is the first step toward estab-
fishing these reports, which will be
made each spring as soon as records
are available for comparison.
"Will you cooperate by giving fol
your own farm the information re.
quested?

l consider this the best piece of
news from the Department of Agri-
culture so far received and wish to
congratulate Secretary Wallace for
this important innovation. There is
however this handicap; that in its
present shape it won't work; for
when these reports come out officially
showing a prospective shortage ia

FALLON WINS SHOOT

The trap shoot at Loveloek last
Sunday resulted in Fallon winning
the match by the small margin of
three birds. A return match is ex-
pected to take place Sunday in this
city.
Owing TO high wind the score of
both teams was trimmed down. One
of the shooting members stated that
the poorest shot was best and the
best poorest.
The local gun club will move their
traps across from the present site and
it is expected that better scores will
be made with the new background.

The local creamery announces thai
they propose grading all cream com
ing to their plant and that hereafter

less handling or kept on the farm

discount of three cents less PEI

ways difficult to establish in com
munity where the same price mas

creamery to pay the same price for
rancid cream that IL would for first

patron 80 unwelcome at the creamery
as the one who insists on bringing in
a poor product. 1t is not uncommon
to see cans of bad cream setting
round in the coolers of a creamery
with the butter maker wondering
what he can do with IL. He hates to
throw it away and he knows that If
mixed with his good product. the
resulting butter is sure to grade a
few points lower and result In loss
many times the cost OF the Dad

Any dairyman insisting on full pay
ment for bad cream is unfair. Com
ditions for the production of butter

quality are very favorable. We have
no feeding conditions which contri-
butte to off flayors. Our nights are
cool, which helps in keeping the
