NHyADA.s GOVERNMENT.

1t is about this time Of year that some
of our state papers indulge in cheap pat
riotism by suggesting the cutting down
of the expenses of the state government.
It may de true that the state government
could be efficiently carried on for less
money than is now expended; but it will
be admitted by those who have given the
subject honest consideration that the
State Government of Nevada is carried
on more cheaply, considering the wide
extent of territory and spasre population,
than those of many of the older states;
and just as honestly and efficiently as
any of them. These same papers suggest
in general way that "There is still
greater chance for reform in the county
governments" and then go on to state
some entirely impracticable scheme
evolved from the brain of closet states
man. They refrain however from even
80 much as limiting that the pay OF the
officers of their own counties is too high.
They know that this is the cause which
really makes the people complain in
those counties; but have not the moral
courage to say so. The state officials are,
figuratively speaking, long way off, and
the legislature they expect to be made up
of unknown men, of whom they never
expect to hear again; so the state officers
and the legislators, both of which classes
are in Nevada far superior to the average
i, the other states, for honesty and in.
tegrity, receive all the force of the ink
spurts of our editors. Our brethren will
we hope pardon us for suggesting that. if
they really believe financial reform
necessary, they should begin at home,
where they can be Of some practical use,
instead of disseminating among the
people an unreasonable discomfort with
what is, and always has been, on the
whole very fair state government.

Some Things for Taxpayers to Con-
slider.

The following pertinent and timely ed.
itorials are from the Reno Journal.
They strike US as homely truths that find
an echo in the minds Of our tax.ridden
people:
Why should $4,000 per annum be
paid out for Supreme Court with only
half a dozen cases year?
Must the governor Of Nevada always
have a salary of $1,000 a year? Oregon
pays 81, 500. The office of Lieutenant
Governor in Nevada is like fifth wheel
to wagon.
What nonsense that Nevada should
have Legislature Of sixty members, or a
session Of sixty day at an expense of $53,
600 every two years.
Is there any good reason why the ex.
penses of the State Government should
not be reduced from $275, 900 to $l75, 600
per annum?
Have the taxpayers of Nevada any
rights which the officeholders are bound
to respect, or must taxes be paid simply
to pay large salaries for officers to sit
around the State and county buildings
and enjoy the sun in the forenoon, and
then move around to the other side of
the building and enjoy the sun in the
afternoon.
Has not State Treasurer Tufy been
away from his official duties many
months. Has not the Deputy done the
work Of the office? Is it necessary to
pay two men in that Office, when one man
can do it all, and then loaf half of the
time.
Does any person know Of any good
reason why Nevada should have an At
torney General at $4,000 per annum, un.
less it be to serve as scare crow? Let
the Office be abolished, and the Board Of
Examiners engage legal talent wher
needed.
Nevada has no need to revert to
territorial form Of Government All sh
needs is to live within her means to main
tain Statehood.
