Desert liquor licenses blocked by supervisors despite wet vote
In a Monday meeting the board of supervisors refused to grant liquor licenses in the desert amid a strong showing of support to repeal prohibition. The crowd included ministers and church workers, while desert residents were few and allegedly nonresidents. Critics accuse radicals and church factions of nullifying the people’s will and echo Tolstoy that the majority rules.

Increasing Values In Mojave Valley
The Salt Lake railroad will pay a fair tax on non operative Otis townsite. Real estate assessments on Mojave valley lands with water rights are doubled this year. Santa Fe and Salt Lake railroads will pay more taxes to the county. The American Tron Co and allied interests at Searles Lake will contribute largely to the county tax fund. Tax increases stem from state highway bonds and rising desert land values.

Ancient Greek staging and the unseen leading actor
The London Chronicle notes that the first Athens production of Agamemnon in 458 BC listed choregos Xenocles of Aphidna as sponsor, while the leading actor’s name did not appear in the record. The piece contrasts ancient and modern theater practices and calls Xenocles obscure today.
