Nevada, when it says reform, means it;
and that, disguised with the vague and

The reduction of the number of ~ en-
! bers of the Legislature and of the

| houses thereof.
| Ssco7,t.- It is well-known ard uniyars-
| ally conceded that the high rates Of
State and county taxation now levied

pressivc on the people of the State an q

of capital.

attention to Reform Legislation, that
such laws may be passed as will bring

ent expense of running all State and
county governments by reduction o.
the number Of existing Judicial Dis

ments; State and county officers and
reduction of salaries of not less thar
80 per cent.
