THE NEW STATE HOSPITAL
LAW

The new law passed by the last
session of the legislature, entitled
an act to enable counties to estab-
lish and maintain public hospitals, is
not meeting with general favor with
the commissioners of the various
counties, and judging from the ex-
preston had from the commissioners
of Washoe and White Pine coun-
ties, it is more than likely that the
new law will create a Juror of OPP
position in a number of counties.
In fact, it would appear that
much harm will be done if the new
law is put into practice-it will
throw the present plan of operation
into a state Of chaos and necessitate
a complete reorganization of its
business structure.
This would, it appears, take away
from the county commissioners the
right to appoint a county ply sic'an
whose regular duty it is to look
after INDECENT patients. What is
everybody's business is no ones
business, is a saying that is generally
accepted as true, and that would be
he case where a staff of physicians
is expected to look after the in
digent sick.
1t is believed by some attorneys
that the law is unsound and will
not stand the test of the supreme
court.-Ely Times.

WENDoVER IS THRILLED

Wendover, the former cowtown of
Utah, almost on the Nevada line,
which received a good deal of free
through its selection for
the direct transcontinental routing
of the national highway between
Utah and Nevada, is in a delirium
of expectation over the report that
a big film corporation is going to
establish headquarters right in that
burg. Wendover imagines herself
all dolled up in the tinselry of
Hollywood and real estate men are
already talking of the ascending
value of lands in that vicinity. Even
the most optimistic resident Of
Wendover does not pretend to brag
of any scenic environment, content
ing themselves with the assertion
that the vast expanses Of salt beds
form background that cannot be
found elsewhere. That is likely to
be sifted down as the only Pigment
Of truth in the story which has
obsessed Wendover and given its
people the thrill that comes but
once in a lifetime-Tonopah Timet

WHAT NEVADA GIVES
TO EDUCATION

A survey of the purposes for
which appropriations were made at
the last session of the Nevada Legis-
lature, made by the Nevada Public
Economy League, discloses that the
largest single appropriation goes to
the conduct of the states school sys-
tenn. The sum of $1,812,702 is APP
propriated to carry on the educa-
tioral work of the state for the
ensuing two years.
1t would be parsimonious citizen
indeed who objected to the payment
If taxes for such a cause. Nevada's
history discloses that she has at all
ZINES been one Of the foremost
states of the union in educational
work. It is safe to assume that the
stand of her citizenry has always
been identical to that of recent
years, strongly in favor of return
ing to the young people of the state
the very best in education that is
available. The results of this liber-
atty are each day becoming more
and more apparent. Almost daily
the papers of the state carry the
news of the appointment Of some
young Nevadan to a position of i'm
portance, either in. his own state or
in neighboring commonwealth.
More frequently than has ever been
the case before, Nevada men are
filling Nevada positions of great re-
sponsibility. Nevada women are
rising to places Of greater promi-
nence. Nevada homes are becoming
the builders of a finer culture and
Nevada people are gradually rising
to a higher standard of citizenship.
1t is the result of nothing more nor
less than Nevada's increasing en-
to education.-Elko In

ROBERT CRIMMON

A sturdy citizen passed into the
annals of yesterday through the
death of Robert Grimmon this week.
For nearly half a century he partici-
pated in the active commercial and
political life Of the state to which
he came as a boy from the sister
commonwealth on the north, and
thousands of Nevada friends will
pause to recall his fine qualities.
Robert Grimmon was one of the
old Comstockers. He went to Vir-
ginia City in the uneven days Of its
middle life and saw the old camp
blossom to the full and fall into its
great decline. For a generation he
was a principal in state politics. In
that field he was an Incorporating
adversary but a fair fighter and a
fast friend. He saw the beginning
and the wane of the Silver Party
and was one of those who broke old
ties when it split both the two ma
jor organizations. A few years,
however, found him back in the
ranks Of his first allegiance.-Reno
Gazette.

WHY THE DIFFERENCE?

At the recent session of the Ne
'vada legislature numerous attempts
were made to change the fish and
game laws of Nevada. Some of the
proposed changes embodied merit
and others were just plain attempts
at graft. The present law may be
absolutely perfect in it's various
regulations, but many people resid-
ing in western Nevada, can not
understand why it should be lawful
to fish in the Truckee river begin
ming April 16 while in the Carson
river the season does not open until
May l. There is no difference be-
tween the two streams and the
habits of trout are identical.
The fish and game laws should be
uniform in those counties where con-
ditions are identical. Will the law
makers of Nevada ever recognize
common justice in enacting laws
that at least have the ear-marks of
equality and fairness?-Gardnerville
Record-Courier.

LONG DISTANCE DANCING

The only conclusion to be drawn
from the performances Of the long
distance dancers who are plaguing
the country is that they are short
on common sense and long on a
useless sort Of endurance. Dancing
is one Of the most delightful of all
social accomplishments but when de-
graded to acrobatics it becomes a
perverted pastime and the offenders
merely seekers after notoriety.
The young men and women who
are skidding about polished floors
for days at a stretch are adding
to the art Of dancing. They
are not even demonstrating q useful
form Of endurance, for the chances
are If they were placed at whole
some labor they would COLLAPSE in
utter exhaustion after a few hours.
AT best they are only showing off
and advertising the fact that their
heads are even lighter than their
feet.
The public is tired Of them al
ready.-Reno Gazette.

UTAH KNOWS WHAT SHE
WANTS

There is one thing that Utah is
consistent in and that is her unre-
lenting opposition to the Lincoln
highway. Consistency is usually
used in synonymous terms with COM
mendable acts, but unfortunately
the rule does not apply with our
sister state whose governor talks
cooperation and mo boundary lines
between Nevada and Utah." at
banquets, but subtly sewers the two
great states by his action.
By boosting the Wendover cut
off Utah is delaying the building of
a Translate highway across Nevada
and thus carrying out her selfish
designs.-Ely Times.

ABATEMENTs

A petition has been circulated in
Reno and freely signed with q view
of having the abatement proceedings
