Licensed Gambling
Carson City, Nev.— Nevada the on­
ly state in the Union to countenance
wide-open and licensed gambling, will
retain that distinction for some time
to come.
At present the anti-gambling ele­
ment in the State is trying to elect
enough legislators to repeal the pres­
ent gambling law.
In addition to a petition to direct
the Secretary of State to place the
question on the ballots at some gen­
eral election after 1934 is being cir­
culated.
this showing, the District Judge en­
joined the Secretary of State from
including the question on this year’s
ballot.
How Law W as Changed
For several years prior to the en­
actment of the 1931 gambling law the
State had stringent regulations for­
bidding the operation of many gam­
bling games.
Taking the view that gambling was
being conducted with police protection
in many towns of the State and that
the State might better be deriving
some revenue from this source, the
1931 Legislature passed an act legal­
izing the conducting of faro, monte,
That the question cannot be pre­
sented to the electorate of Nevada at
the approaching November elections
-was determined by Judge Clark J.
Guild of the Ormsby County District
Court.
Two years ago an initiative peti­
tion was circulated by church work­
ers and citizens who are opposed to
gambling. A total of 3027 signatures
was obtained, barely 75 more than
the number required to cause a vote
to be taken throughout the State at
the November (1934) election on
whether the present law should be re­
pealed.
roulette, keno, fan-tan, twenty-one,
black-jack, seven-and-a-half, big in­
jun, klondyke, craps, stud poker, draw
poker and any banking or percentage
game played with cards, dice, or any
mechanical device or machine for
money, property, checks or credit.
Slot machines were also legalized
and provision was made for the pay­
ment of fees for licenses for the
operation of these gambling games.
The State, which receives one-quarter
of the gambling fees collected in each
county, has averaged $44,000 a year
in revenue from gambling since the
present wide-open gambling has been
permitted.

Challenge of Petition
Recently the validity of the peti­
tion was challenged by the gambling
interests who filed a petition in the
District Court of Ormsby County to
restrain W. G. Greathouse, Secretary
of State, from including the question
in the ballots for the November elec­
tion.
The challenge was based on the fact
that 46 signatures to the petition
were duplications, 106 were written
in the same handwriting, eight were
ineligible and incapable of being
checked and that other irregularities
existed which reduced the number of
signatures that could legally be
counted to a number of less than the
minimum required by law for init­
iative petition.
Photostatic copies of the original
petition were made and the signa­
tures carefully checked by experts,
including E. O. Heinrich, Berkeley
criminologist. The evidence was so
convincing that the State was forced
to admit that the petition either did
not contain a sufficient number of sig­
natures or else that, if it did, the
margin was so slight that the ex­
pense necessary to verify the names
and signatures challenged would be
unreasonable and not justified. On
