THE bill to restrict gaming. which Is
row law, is not exactly like the bill
passed by both Houses of the Lpgis-
lature. The bill which was signed by
the Governor taxes all games $500 per
quarter, while tina. passed by the
Legislature made the license 500 less
for keno and other games than faro,
with IA reduction in sparsely populated
COMMITTEES. The bill was passed towards
the close of the session, when rowdy-
ism run riot over reason, and it is
probable that majority of the mem
bers knew nothing OF the Provisions OF
the bill.

GENERAL FITz-JoHN PORTER served
under Mcclellan early in the war.
Both we're Democrats, and when the
war ceased to be waged for the preser-
walton of the Union and was carried
on in the interest of party, Me
Clellan was supercedtd and Porter
conrt. martialed and dismissed from
the service. Since then he has re-
peatedly asked rehearing, upon the
grounds that the evidence did not
warrant the findings of the conrt. This
has been denied because of his polltl-
cal principles. and he has been living
in retirement in New Jersey. Recently
he was appointed Commissioner OF
Public Works by the Mayor of New
York City. at a salary or S3,O00 per
annuu. This has augered the Enter
prise fully as much as the defeat OF the
Sharon colonists in Churchill last
November, and it urges the dismein-
berment of Porter as warmly lis 1t dld
the territory of that county. 1t would
be unjust to accuse the Enterprise OF
hypocrisy or to question its sincerity
in this matter. but it does seem the
least bit strange that so patriotic
sheet should never have uttered II
syllable against the guerrilla Moseby.
or alluded in the remotest manner to
his antecedents wheh Grant offered
him lucrative office, and appointed
some of his friends to places OF trust
and profit under the Federal Govern
ment. In the eyes of the Enterprise
guerrilaism during the war does not
constitute an offeuse, provided the
guerrilla is an admirer of Grant bit 1t
looks upon the appointment to office

objectionable sin.

To Hon. Jamessr. Niaor, Secretary
Of State SIR: / have the honor 10 le-

Assembly Bill No. 70 - An Act to

At the November election last year
all the county officers mentioned IN
this section were elected 10y the voters
of Churchill county, and are now ih
the quiet possession, and enjoyment
OF then respective offices.
Have not those officers acquired Il

they have been elected, and the profits
Of which they are now enjoying?
IN thu case Of The State OF Nevada

Justice Beatty. with the concurrence Of
the full bench held that the Constliu-
tion provides for the election of County
Commissioners. County Clerks. County
r coid4rs. District Attorneys, Shentfs,

islrators, and that the Legislature
could not abolish snch Offices. The
bill under consideration aboiisheS the
county Of Churchill, with all the CON
stItntional offices mentioned III the
opinion qnotvd. am. therefore,
forced to believe that the bill is uncon-
slitutional and void.
The people of Churchill have not
asked for the destruction OF their
comfy organization. On the contrary,
a remonstrance signed by many citizens
of both parties III the county has
earnestly protested against the bill.
The county has now been in exist

time it has never had convict in the

State Orphans Home. While Churchill
has paid her full share Of the State ex-
perses, she has been less Cumbersome
to the State Treasury than any other
comfy Her rate of taxation is no
higher than the average. her county
debt is nominal. her people (as they
have expressed 10y their petition) are
satisfied with their county government,
Then why should it be abolished?
This bill has been proclaimed n
party measure; but Is it wise to allow
such considerations to control MS in
legislation? Believing that it is not.
and for other reasons given above, |
am induced to return this bill without
my approval. tSigued):

CHURCHILL STILL LIVES.

The attempted the Legislature to dis
member Churchill county for avowed
partisan purposes is not approved by
Governor Adams. The bill has been
transmitted to the Secretary of State
with the Governors objections, and
Churchill will live for at least two years
longer. The ACKNOWLEDGMENT of Chrrc-
hill against the wishes of its citizens
was pet measure of a partisan Legls-
lature. Its advocates did not claim
that the interests of the citizens of the
county or of the State at large would
be benefited by the measure. 1t was
not passed by either branch of the
Legislature at the request or instigation
of the people directly Interested, bat
simply TO crafty the revenge of party
which attempted by colonization to
carry it for Sharon at the last election.
So palpable were the frauds attempted
by those co!onists OF the bona fide citl-
gems of Churchill that a partisan Legis
qature dared not admit the represen-
tatives they claimed to have elected,
though the seats which they contested
were occupied by Democrats. No valid
reason was assigned for the dismem-
berment of the county, because none
could be given. Financially it is one
of the soundest in the State. It's
School fund contained 1920, and
when one of its representatives,
on the floor of the Senate,
who saw that the passage of the bill
had been decided upon by the Rppub
lican majority, asked that that fund be
appropriated to the education OF the
children of the cit zeus of Churchill.
from whom it had been derived, Ire was
deriled, hooted at, and his proposed
amendment ianghed at, and It's cor
sideration indefinitely postponed by tue
gag-law rule or previous question mo
ton of the majority. The leaders OF
that majority boldly declared that the
object of the bill was partisan one,
that it was designed to advance the in
terests of the Republican party, ana the
rank and file required no other argu-
ment in favor of its passage. To them
that was sufficient, and for similar
purpose they would have dismembered
Humboldt, Elko, Washoe or any other
county in the State. But their labors
have been in vain. The arm of the
Executive has been interposed IN be-
half Of Churchill, which remains intact,
and the combined efforts of Sharon 5
colonists in aud out of the Legislature
cannot prevent it from giving round
Democratic majority for the next Preai-
dent.
