NEW LAW

The trial of Archie Maertins, on
change of venue from Justice Cor

rested charged with violating the
law against scattering nails, glass,

were impanelled and sworn in:
George Littlefield, Bob White,
Bill jacob, Frank Steele, Lud Sat
eren and Elmer Hauge. H. N.
Marion represented the state and
Noun and Rose of Poplar, the
defence.
Case Hard Fought
The trial occupied the whole
day and lasted until midnight.
Judge Rose did not arrive from
Poplar until noon, so no real prog
ress was made until afternoon
The states case was based on cir
cumstantial evidence and the defen-
ce put up stiff fight. The prosecu-
tion proved that Maertins had pur-
chased pound of bill-posting
tacks. of the kind offered in evi-
dence, at Kelly's store and that 40
tacks exactly like those purchased
were found along the east end OF
Edgar street within the city

of the same kind of tacks were
found in the tires of cars that
PASSED along the street where
tacks had been scattered. Twenty

Each Citizen Of Nevada
Invests $3.50 in Roads

Every man, woman and child In
Nevada has an investment Of $50 in
the highways OF the state, according
to the figures recently compiled by the
state highway department.
These figures are based on the cost
Of construction since the department
was organized In 1917 to January /,
1926, and represents a per capita in
vestment of $50 In the state highway
system, under federal aid, and an
additional $50 in county and state
highways constructed without aid from
the. government.
The United States government has
also contributed $1,000. 900 to highway
construction In Nevada, which Is In
addition to the per capita cost out
lined above.
Senators for some of the eastern
states have objected to the federal
government participating In construct
ing roads in the Far West. Can m
eastern state show a per capita in
yestment in highways approaching the
record made by Nevada?
And while discussing the financing
of highways In Nevada, don't forget
that your Uncle Sam still owns more
than 90 per cent of the area Of that
state.

Grade Crossing Rules
Protect ALI Motorists

There isn't a dangerous grade or
railroad crossing In the United States
II crossed with proper care, according
to an eastern opinion reaching the
public safety department of the Auto
mobile Club OF Southern California.
The authority for the statement
gives the following recipe TO motorists
as the method of taking the danger
out Of grade crossings:
Always make sure your car Is In
order; never drive over 80 miles an
hour; never pass a crossing until you
know the way is clear; don't drive In
the mud or or slippery roads or pave
ments; always give the speed maniacs
the right of way.
"Of course, the maniacs make you
mad, but better be mad than dead
he says.
Based on the prediction that by the
end Of the year there Will be 10000
motor cars In Kansas, it is estimated
that the funds for road work in that
state will be nearly s10,OO0,OOO. Ii.
fees will account for $4,000 900
OF this total, and a two-cent gasoline
tax for the remainder.
