Carson daily appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1873-1877, 1874-12-15
ON TUE SQUARE.

The Gold Hill Ne,cs, commenting
apon recent articls in the APPEAL hav-
ing reference to the permarence of Car
son and the substantially of its inter
.sts. gives expression 20 some OF its con-
c,usions in the following fashion.
namely:
Wher. the State Capital WIS located at
Carson, the citizens OF that town pro
missed to fix up the plaza AID make 1t
worthy the handsome building which the
State has erected thereon. Four years
have passed since that building was
completed, and willie Carsonites have
aoutented themselves with bIltton-hoilns
LEGISLATORS and lobbying in the anti
chambers of the Capital building for an
nparopyiation to make the State do what
they themselves promised to perform,
the grounds 0: the Capital still remain
dirty. unornamented. naked common,
wandered over by pigs and cattle, and
principally used as a place of resort for
Washoe Indians and their squaws, and
occasionally 4 game of football iIeE
are Z disgrace 10 the town as We'll as TO
the State. and a monument Of unful-
filled promises on the part OF lis citi-
Zeus. We venture to assert that no
town in the State, had it been benefited
half So much by public moneys as has
C.r5on. would ave acted with snch IL
[ Ter Il le selfishness. Ii the papers Of
the town wish to gain for it some credit
for iudeI esd nee and enterprise, let them

wealth TO which they strenuously cling,
il fulfilling their agreements with tax
payers Of the State. much Of whose mo
ney has gene to build up. beau;ify, and
give dignity 10 their village.
This is a mere recital of what mas Of
ten been thrust al our citizens, an! re-
petition of the substance OF what the
APPEAL lately said upon the subject
Il illustrates the sentiment, justly or
UuiustIv felt toward Carson, all over the
State. We are singled out as the marx
for the mutuaIly-sLared envy of every
county where a removal of the Capital
= looked to as one Of the desirable
things OF the future. We speak OF the
fret OF this inimicai feeling. 10 argue
the truth or faIsi;y of its origin is an
other thing. We must take things as We
tird them The people Ct the other
counties and towns are very generally OF
the opinion that Carson is not only
very mean and stingy community for not
adjoining the Capitol Square, but that
our business men ;re false to their prom
lses in not having caused the desired i'm
provemeu.s to be made upon those
grounds. The question is, then, can We
afford to rest under this inputation:
Anybody can repea. the good, old, sound
arguments that the State is tie proprietor
Of the Square AMI should itself improve
its Own property: that tie alofnncnts
If desirable to the State should be done
by the State; that there is TO fairness Il
asking Carson to tax itself 10 beau;IfsE
the States property; etc, e'e- but
that's lodging the question The thing
We have to deal with and which We all
wCuld like TO avert and turn aside, Is the
popular iII-feeling against Car57n- From
a consideration OF this question We lise
to ask ourselves if it wouii not be better
to consider ourselves bound to tulEli :.
