A WISE EXPENDITURE.

Washington has voted a bounty Of one
cent q pound TO encourage the raising
OF beets and the manufacture OF beet
sugar within her borders. Onc-half
Of the bounty goes to the farmer and
one-half to the manufacturer, and runs
for five years. Under the stimulus of
this generous bounty a great industry
will be established in the state, and
all the money paid out for sugar will
be kept at home. Even il, as a Dem
o~cratic paper asserts, the State shall
pay out this year $4,000 IN bounties
to beet-raisers and sugar manufacture
ers, neither the State nor any citizen
thereof will be poorer by the amount
of one cent. On the contrary, the
State will be richer and better off.

1t is a wise and sensible law and the
Legislature of Nevada would have en-
couraged aud probably established n
profitable industry of almost incalcul-
able benefit to the State If it had en-
acted a similar n Her cheap lands,
thousands upon thousands OF acres
which are so admirably adapted, from
the nature of the soil, TO the growth of
the sugar-producing vegetable, offer in
themselves such inducements for the
establishment Of plants, which only
need the assurance Of sufficient pro-
duction to materilixe them. This
would doubtless have been assured by
9 ANAL bounty to be shared by the
producer and manufacturer. The in
industry, once established, it would
soon be able to take care of itself with
out any aid from the State, which
would receive benefits a hundred fold
greater than the expenditure of ten
times the ZANE amount of money for
any other purpose Gazette.
We want no lottery because we
must send II money to New Orleans,
San Francisco or Mexico. Nevada
don't need anything. If the lottery
amendment had carried four years
ago, We would have had by this time
$400 1000 or over in an irrigation fund,
Oh that much money would have been
expended for irrigation purposes.
But then that would have done no
good. Let's wait until Congress helps
us out. Nevada ought to wait until
everybody else in the world is fixed all
O.. X. before che does anything for her.
self.-Times.
The Legislature Of Nevada might
have done something to encourage
the raising OF sugar beets, the stor.
age of water, or some other proposition
equally vital to Nevada's interests had
the press Of the State been united and
paved tile way by securing expressions
of public sentiment and by holding
the virtues of the different propositions
so the light would shine upon them.
But they did nothing OF the kind. Be-
fore the session OF the Legislature no.
effort was made to do anything. and
during the session the editors were so
busy trying TO find something to criti-
CHE, that no ideas were advanced for
crying needs.
After the Legislature adjourns the e
sluggish quill drivers have to find
something to fill up space and after
the war is over tell how the battles
should have been fought. Before and
during the session Of the Legislature
was the time to do good work, and
there were but very few daily papers
in the State which advanced suggest
ions of benefit to the people and made
plain the benefit by saying show" it
could be accomplished. The editors
are all full OF super6ne theories but
when it comes to practice they are
away behind the times.
The man who makes a practical
suggestion even by a lottery scheme
does more real good and produces bet
ter expressions than the vaporer who
is always ready to jump on somebody
else's neck with criticisms, but is never
energetic, o. wide awake enough to
advance an original and practical way
of solving the problem.
We want sugar beets and we want
water storage and we want them lust
as we want free coinage and 1--WE don't
care how"
