III controlling these expenditures Is,
that you have no one body Of men
in the State whom you can hold re-
sponsibc for expenditures.
This year the General Assembly,
composed of one hundred and sixty
men, levy and appropriate seven
hundred and sixty-thrcc thousand
dollars direct taxes, while the County
Commissioners and Trustees Of each
school district levy and appropriate
a million four hundred thousand dol
lars, not collectively, bat acting scpa-
ratcly; that is your State taxes are
governed by one hundred and sixty
and your county and school funds by
three men. Add to this the power
which the counties have to contract
debts in aid Of railroads and other
public enterprises, then you can have
some idea how hard our expenses arc
to be kept down and within moderate
bounds. TO remedy this evil we
should have one single body to levy,
collect and appropriate taxes. Then
you can hold them to a strict accoun.
liability.
The theory and practice of our
present form of government is, that
| ~
the Legislature, composed Of one
h"nd'cd and sixty Representatives
of the people, should be responsible
for the expenditures Of State taxes

THE IRRIGATION SCHEME.
Vast Tracts of Land in Nevada to be
Irrigated.

Little is known, locally, regarding the ir-
rigation syndicate projection mentioned in
special Washington dispatches. 1t is known
that number of New Workers, as we'll as
several Pacific coast men, are interested in
the scheme, which is to have a capital of
many millions. A Southern Pacific official,
well informed on such matters, says that
without doubt Senator Stewart, Of Nevada,
is one of the originators Of the project, which
Is nothing more or less than gigantic water
company. Whether the project contemplates
securing arid lands for irrigation or simply
arranging for supplying water for use by
others for reclamation, is unknown, but the
presumption is that at first only water-supply
matters will be considered. Experience in
Arizona and at some points in this State has
shown that ventures which supply land with
water for irrigation are not as profitable, rel
atively, as are real estate projects which
leaves the water supply for the purchaser to
arrange as best he may. That is, and Land
Agent Mills Of the Central Pacific is auther-
~ for the observation, there has not been the
demand Of late for land with water, owing
to the higher price necessitated, than for
cheaper land where water for irrigation is to
be sought for after purchase.
At a meeting last week Of the Nevada
State Board Of Trade, F. G. Newlands, OF
Reno. who is President of that body, said
that he had been making careful study Of
the subject of water storage on both the

rated either by the State or by water district
organized along each river which would open

&c, 900 acres. He said that as to the Trukec
river the question of the storage of water had
been almost solved; that outside OF Lake
Tahoe he had secured, with the approval OF
| the local committee, almost all the reservoir
sites essential to the completion OF the sior-
oge system, and that when water district is
formed by the incoming Legislature he pro-
posed to turn over such properties to the dis
trict at cost He said that he had secured
in addition to the storage system about 7, ooc
acres from the State, which he proposed also
to turn over to such district, and that he in
tended to purchase more. As TO the Carson
river, he stated that water storage there is
much more expensive than on the Truckee
but that bitches were much less expensive
that there were three excellent reservoir site.
on that river, one in Douglas coant y. sanothe1
in Ormsby and third in Lyon, which ar,
