THOMAS MEIGHAN AND
 AGNES AYRES AT LIBERTY

Thomas Meighan, athletic Para mount star, seldom, if ever, disap- points his audiences Hence it fol lows that when his latest picture, "Cappy Kicks" based on Peter B. Kyne'5 famous Saturday Evening Post stories, to be shown at the Liberty tonight, MT. Meighan will add another delightful morsel to his long list of picture successes.
 Mir Meighan is said to be excellent as Matt Peasley, seaman's mate, who falls in love with and wins Flor rie Riicks, daughter of the irascible Cappy. He proves his mettle as a man in two or three capital fistie encounters which take place in the development of the story. Altogeth- CT, his portrayal is one that is en. joyed by everyone. Agnes Ayres is charming as F1orrie, while Charles Abbie is wholly artistic in his DOT trayal of Cappy The support gener- ally is of the highest standard. . 'Cappy Kicks" is an excellent story of the sea and the photography by Harry Perry leaves little to be de. sired

EXTENSION OF
 3 MILE LIMIT
 RECOMMENDED
Prominent Methodist Urges Old Limitation Be Done
 Away With Now.

CHICAGO, Feb. 7.-The tllree-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 a statement by Dr. Clar- ence T. Wilson of Washington, of the Board of Temperance, Prohibition and Public Morals of the Methodist Episcopal Church, made public here today.
 When the doctrine was written by Bynkerschock.' says the state- ment, tho extreme range of a shore cannon was three miles and as sov- erefgn nation can only claim to ex- ercise jurisdiction which he is in fact able to police and defend, the threemile limit was supposed to be the logical boundary of national au- thority.
 To-day the extreme range of cannon on shore is certainly not less than 20 miles and might, in fact, be very much greater. The United States should assert and maintain the doctrine that it has the right to defend itself by any necessary means against attacks upon it's laws which constitute nothing less than form of warfare.
 Rum running vessels have repeat edly congregated off the New Jer- sey coast outside the three-mile limit. If necessary in order to handle the situation, United States destroyers should be ordered to capture or de- stroy any rum running ship whieh approaches close enough to ta American shore to establish con tact
 "At tNs time the American peo- pie cannot be expected to be pa tient With far fetched legal technicali- ties. The American people have al- ways known the answer to insult and injury. The government should make that historic answer and it can be best spoken from the throats of naval guns'

BRITISH EXPERT REPORTS
 ON AUSTRALIAN COTTON

LIVERPOOL, Feb. 7.-The possi- bilities of cotton growing in Australia are extolled by Harold Parker, man. aging director of a big manufactury in Preston who, with Liverpool cotton buyer, has just returned from a tour of investigation undertaken at the invitation of Premier Hughes.
 MT. Parker says that Queensland in 1922, under natural rainfall. had grown about twice as much cotton per acre as America, and that in two years it was expected Australia would produce all her own durango cotton seed. Meantime, great precau- tions were being taken to avoid the introduction of the boil weevil. Pro duction in Australia by white labor i. cheaper than in America by black labor. There are also great pros poets for cotton grown on irrigated lands.
 These two Lancashire experts wis. ited every state in Australia, covered 6,000 miles by road and rail, and de- clare that the climate and soil in many districts are unsurpassed for cotton growing anywhere in the world.

 ------------------ so appreciative a people to the haz- ards of a possible successor, of whose shortcomings nobody is moro aware than he.
 Still Hope, However
 However, there is still hope even if the President does swing around the c,rcle-with taagants to Alaska and Honolulu.
 He will have a fine long session with the 68th Congress, in which there will be a largely increased Democratic minority and enough in- surgents to tie things in a bow knot, whenever he suggests anything they do not likc. He will have months of battling against radical legislation and his veto pen will never be dry of ink.
 Months of this may well wear away even the cheering effect of ths ad- dresses of welcome and the applause he gets from the train-side audi ences, and land him in July of 1924 with his mind fully made up that his peace of mind and the health of his wife are deserving of more consid- eration from him than the prospect of a gruelling campaign and, at least, a problematical result.
 It may as well be told bluntly that if it rested with the Senate Mir. would not be renomnated. He was popular enough when he was ono of them, but now they are sorer at him than he is at them, which is saying a good deal

EDWARDS PUTS STOPITO
INDIAN CAMP DISORDER

District Attorney II. w. Edwards,
with the cooperation of Sheriff Henry
c. Nicholson and City Marshal George
W. Jackson, will brook no further
disorder in the Indian camp Of Fly,
such disturbances being due to a new
supply of liquor having been estab-
lished for the Indians after apprehen-
sion of the persons formerly furnish
ing 1t. Disorderly conduct in the re-
stricted district likewise will be
stopped forthwith. The following
letter from the district attorney TO
the sheriff sets forth the facts:
ELY, New, Jan. II, 1923.-Mr. II.
c. Nicholson, Sheriff White Pine
County, Nevada, Ely, New: Dear Sir
Complaint has been made to this
Office that the residents of the Indian
camp Sunday evening last created
considerable disturbance, engaged in
fighting, etc, in which one or two of
the eombatants were badly beaten,
the trouble being undoubtedly due to
indulgence in intoxicating liquor.
This is the first disturbance Of this
character that has come to my at
tention for considerable time, due to
the efforts of yourself and Marshal
Jackson in apprehending the persons
furnishing the liquor. 1t seems that
a new source of supply has been es-
tablished and although the suspected
persons have been warned no atten-
ton has been paid to such warning.
viii you. therefore, again use the
utmost diligence in preventing the
traffic among the Indians in this COM
munity? I need not assure you that
you can count upon my w~holehearted
support.
Il also direct your attention to the
frequency with which persons at pub
lie dances held in this city show all
the symptoms of being under the in
fiuenoe of intoxicating liquor. Prompt
action should be taken to remedy this
by having IN officer stationed at any
and all such public dances.
Complaint has also been made
that women are allowed to frequent
certain alleged soft drink parlors.
Will you kindly investigate the truth
of this and notify the proprietors Of
such places to discontinue such prac-
tice in the event you find the same to
be true?
Despite the fact that both our
self and Marshal Jackson have effect
ed an exodus of a number of undesir-
able characters from this community
there are a few remaining whose alb.
sence would be desirable. Please
take the necessary steps to correct
the matters herein called to your at
tention at the earliest possible mo-
ment. Very truly yours,
H. w. EDWARDS.
District Attorney

pended in their immediate vicinities
or on roads leading from their homes
to the graded highways; whereas, on
the other hand, they must not only
pay the same taxes as others but
make and repair their own roads,
put in bridges and culverts, or do
without. To overcome this objection
the law might provide that road taxes
of all kinds collected from property
in a given township be expended in
that area and not elsewhere. This
would remove the inequity and make
the dweller of the Nevada hinter-
land the enthusiastic payer of his
share. which is now paid with reluct-
ance.

would be to raise the price from 30

of causing the car owner to pay Az

the roads the automobile owner
would be assessed more for the ben

posal as il stands is for the tax TO be
collected from the oil companies and

PROPOSED GASOLINE TAX.

More money being needed for pro
jected Nevada roads and for main
tenance of the present ones. a tax of
2 cents a gallon on gasoline will be
proposed to the present legislature.
1t being discussed by the state press,
the majority Of newspapers appear
to favor 1t.
OF several arguments in its favor
the strongest one, except that of the
state needing money for roads. is
that il should have the effect OF dis
tributing the burden more equitably.
To place the cost upon the shoulders
OF the greatest users of the highways,
those who burn the most gasoline. is
the theory underlying it. 1t would
thus distribute the taxation to non
residents who drive their cars
through the state instead of appor-
tioning it among Nevada car
Some proponents of the measure are
arguing In favor of reducing the num-
her plate license to a sum merely
covering the clerical expense and cost

purposes go into actual road repairs.
There is no automobile owner who
would not gladly pay several times
the amount Of the present license II
he were convinced that he individ-
ually would be benefited. But the
great objection made is that such
payments have not always come back
in the form of better roads. That
complaint is heard o elsewhere
