Cnt rate.
Cleveland said rs far as sherias are
concerned, | am not here TO represent
them specially, but to represent the
state. III we tax them, let Us tax gam
bling so Is to give h STATE some rev.
cuUe.
Boring understands that the change
made by this law is that which Affects
principally the camps where there are
some temporary cNcitcments, which

Hall denounced this the most out
rageous bill Of the session. Il takes
the power out Of the hands of the
people. II You insert that section. Won
had better kill the bill. The motion
was Withdrawn.
Mullen moved 20 amend that uo:h-
Ing in this Act shall be construed TO
affect Nye county
The Chair thought the motion out Of
order. but stated the question.
Mills desired White Pine excluded,
and Small moved TO add Douglas
county.
Muilen-I don't p 10 argue
the constitutiouality of the amend
men'; BAT il j. certain that it is not
unconstitutional for me To stand here
and defend the interests of a minority
Of the people. When Senators vote
for subsidies from Lyon and other
counties, / have nothing to say, but
when they propose to affect the people
of Nye county, ! propose TO have
som ething TO say. He was opposed to
subsidies from countie, To aid rail-
road. The other day Il bill for 4 rail-
road to the Colorado was brought up
here, and | thought il all right. And
now comes this bill TO get money out
Of Nye, and by a trick or the passage
of the other bill. y few men do
control the taxable property-uot TO
exceed G or 5 controls a majority of
the property-and not only that, but a
majority of the people, and they can
bring influences to bear upon that
county which will put the county at
the mercy of the railroad.
Hall said Mul!en's remarks suit
him better than anything which he
has heard from him this session. He
calls things by plain and right names.
He proceeded 10 illustrate the workings
OF interpretations of this kind; he had
predicted and had offered on the out
side 10 bet that special advantages
having been granted heretofore before
