A RATIONAL VIEW OF An
NEXATEON.

EAAEAONs
The Idaho Avalanche, of all the news
papers in that Territory, discusses the
annexation question di~spassionately. IL
says:
"Let us look at the true condition OF
affairs. Idaho, we may say, is put OF
debt. We will also say that one part OF
the Territory wants to be annexed TO
Washington. If the people of the north
succeed in having the panhandle cut OF
the frying.pan, then Idaho will be
smaller in population, area and wealth.
Should the northern counties be annexed
to Washington, the wealth OF the Terri
tory would be decreased about one-hfth,
and the population also, allowing our
Territory now to have 100, 900 inhabit-
ants. which she has not. 1t is true that
we would have to assist in paying Ne.
vada's debt, but would the tax be
heavier than it now is. Now, as to
Idaho skinning and b~ruising her knuckles
knocking at the doors of Congress for
admission in a few years hence, the man
or men who think that within a lew
years Idaho will have population enough
to gain admission into the Union, or even
to hope to do so, must have an magma
ton of extraordinary Missouri horse
power. Dakota has a population Of 500,'
900, and yet she pleads in vain for nd.
mission into the Union. Idaho cannot
hope for admission then until she has at
least that population, unless a change
shall come over the United States. 1t
will be q score of years before ldaho's
population reaches 500, 900. In the
meantime, we will as in the past, be gov
erned by such officials as may be sent
from the East here. Our Governors,
Judges, etc., will be appointed by the
President, and we will nave no voice in
e~lecting a President. On the other hand,
if annexed to Nevada, we would at once
be entitled to all the privileges of a
State. Our taxes would be no higher
than they ale now, and in all probability
a railroad would be constructed from
Winnemucca to Boise City,"
In reply to the above the Winnemueca
Silver State says:
Nevada is not, as the Avalanche sup
poses, overburdened with debt. The
$3.50, 900 bond which is issued for money
borrowed from the School fund, is ire
deemable, and, unless the courts decide
that a bond of that character is not legal,
it will only have to pay the interest,
which is four per cent per annum, into
the School fund, and that will be used
for educating the youth OF the State. Ii
will be mutually beneficial to Nevada
and Idaho to have them annexed, as the
two will make a prosperous State, with
no conflicting interests, and OF which Its
citizens can justly feel proud. while, un'
less they are united, it will be difficult
for Nevada to maintain a State Govern
ment, and Idaho will remain a Territory
for at least another quarter OF a century.
