state of affairs? Why did it not
refer to the law which requires that
all expenditures over $500 must be
advertised for bid, which was vio-
lated by the commissioners in sign
ing the payment warrant of the
Star for $5S1.20 during the month
of October, 1922? Why should the
Star inject respective newspaper
calculations and other matters 70
becloud the issue if the publishers
and hired man wanted to meet the
issue fairly? Why did the Star not
refer to The Silver States offer to
guarantee and prove a circulation
of ninety per cent of the taxpayers
and voters of this county or accept
no payment for county printing of
legal advertisements? Why didn't
the Star duplicate the offer or ex-
coed it if they could? One thing
the Star may be sure of, however,
is that such tactics are not going to
draw our fire to their game, for we
started to tell of county printing
and intend to stick to that topic
until we are certain that it is
thoroughly understood. We are not
too young to see through an en-
deavor to attract attention other
wise.
There is one matter we would i'm
press upon the memories of the
readers of this newspaper, and that
is that county legal printing is the
smallest item of county printing.
Job printing is where the real
money is, and in this respective
calculations or merits of newspapers
cannot possibly have bearing.
When the commissioners, in their
monthly order giving printing to
the Star, thoughtfully add Eat a
cost not to exceed that legally
established by law" they refer only
to county legal publications, for
there is no limit set by law con-
corning the amounts that may be
charged for county job printing, the
big item. In other words, the Star
could charge 500 for 100 letter
heads and not be exceeding the
cost as set by law. Of course
such an exorbitant charge would
not be made, for it would be en-
sirely too raw, and the people might
get interested, but the comparison
shows how much the high-sounding
phrase of the commissioners
amounts to.
Now, The Silver State could very
easily enter into newspaper con-
troversy, which we don't consider
this matter to be, by referring to
such little matters as Commissions"
paid by outside firms on the county
printing account, when absolutely
nothing is done to earn such COM
missions. We do not want to stir
up a smelly mess any more than is
absolutely necessary, but we can
and will do il il necessarv

May Revive Fight Game
1t is said that plans are being
made to revive the fight game in
this city, and that a boxinfi event

George is now in town canvassing
the situation to see if there is a
demand for this form of entertain

put on soon. He is ready to give
the proceeds of the initial perform
ance to any benefit or charity that

Federal Officer. Raid c.rlin-


Dispensers of illicit liquor at Car
lin were visited last night by two
federal prohibition officers, who,
according to reports received here
today, entered a number of estab-
lishments in that city. The reports
received here indicate that from six
to sixteen places were entered, but
that little moonshine was found,
some one having apparently spread
the news Of the raid in advance.
One man is reported to have been
taken into custody, a bottle having
been found on his hip. His name
has not yet been learned.
Sheriff Joe Harris stated, when
asked regarding the raid, that he
had heard that the raid had taken
place. He had received no details
as to the result of the raid, and nc
particulars as to what took place
have arrived here from Carlin.--

After driving his car for an hour
and a half off and on the streets
of the business section of Reno, R
d. Jacques, 81, was cornered by the
police IA o'clock in the morning
and placed under arrest.
Three youthful companions were
with him, officers said.
The quartet started to convert
the sidewalks into speedways or
Center street, according to a maj
made by the officers. They skim
med past the entrance of the Stock
growers bank, turned at the city
hall, passed under the windows o.
the police station, and serpentinet
the walks of Virginia street.
Officer Joe Kirkley stopped tn,

The talk has again been started
that such publicity "hurts the
town." but we respectfully call at
tention to business men and others
interested that it is the commits
sioners and the Star who are respon-
sible, not The Silver State.
