Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1885-03-04

A singular fancy seized one of
the fair sex, recently, at Hartford
Conn. She desired to have bill
passed by the Legislature of that
State, abolishirg the tax on pet
poodles and to that end framed her
bill and secured the assistance of
other bellies of the Capital to lobby
the measure through. The young
er members Of the Legislative
body were beseiged by the fair
ones, and it seemed that the bill
would pass, until one old grizzly
member took the matter in hand
by protesting, saying: IF the
women of this State think more of
carrying puppies around in their
arms than they do Of babies, I'll
take my wife's advice, and go in
for it." That settled it.

LIQUOR AND g Al DLIN q
BILLS.

Most Of the bills introduced in
the Legislature under the pretext
Of abolishing gambling. and liquor
selling, have some sinister motive
at bottom. Fasset's high liquor IL
cense bill if passed. would have re-
suited in driving the liquor trade
away from the saloons and into the
drug stores. The bill appeared to
be an excellent thing until it was
shown that Fassett kept a drug
store in Eureka. Mr.. Fassett had
been very active in seeming job
berry in other peoples bills, but did
not seem to think that there was
any in his own The bill was
promptly squelched. A number of
anti gambling bills are before the
Legislature. The main idea of
these bills is to drive the gambling
trade out Of the saloons, private
rooms and cigar stores. None of
these bills will make any less gam
bling, the object is simply to shift
the locality Of the vice Some
Years ago bill was passed driving
all the Storey county games off the
lower floor, upstairs. The argu'
ment was advanced that it was to
take vice away from the eyes of
pedestrians and young men. 1t
looked like a high moral bill. but it
was gotten up by syndicate Of
gamblers, who had leased all the
upper rooms along G street for
seven years. The bill drove the
games off the lower floors into the
clutches of the syndicate on the
upper floors, and they charged ex-
orbitant rent for the rooms.
These jobbers all got broke in a
few years as they ought to have
been, and the men who are now |
trying to secure special legislation
against liquor and gaming under
the cloak of morality and temper
ance, no more expect to lessen the
sales of liquors or abate the evils of
gambling than they have Of quench-
ing the light Of the moon. The
bills they introduce are in the in-
terests of Tom, Dick and Harry
and men who are anxious to close
out the games in saloons so that
they can run private games and
eyade the license which the regular
games are willing to pay.

The exemption laws Of Dakota
are peculiarly favorable to debt
ors. Besides a homestead exempt
ion and the usual exemptions of
family heirlooms, books, all wear
ing apparel and enough of provis-
ions, whether provided or growing,
to last the debtors family one
year, the law allows the debtor to
exempt 1880 worth of any goods,
merchandise, money or personal
property of any description. Or if
the debtor elects he may exempt,
instead of this 1900, $1,000 worth
Of certain specified family house
hold effects, about $500 worth of
farm machinery, and a considerable
quantity Of live stock, with food
for a years supply. After the
debtor has completed these numer-
GUS exemptions there is apt to be
very little left for his creditors. An
effort is being made in the Dakota
Legislature to reduce the exempt
ions.
