No HIpi.na,ion of.hs rr.n..etI on


Last January when the change took
place in the State Government there
we're about $1,000 standard dollars IN
the State Treasury. The members oi
the Legislature and others, who had
warrants on the Trasury. were pad d
part Of the amount in standard dol
lars by Treasurer Westerieid. 1t
was a subject OF general comment
that all the dollars paid out OF the
Treasury were new and bore the
stamp Of the Carson mint. Persons
accustomed to handling coins ex-
pressed the opinion that the dollar
had never been in circulation and
speculation wa rife ga TO the manner
in which they reached the State
Treasury, ~ the mint, being Govern
ment property, is not taxed. All the
papers Of the State, except a few
goldbug sheets, have commented up
on the transaction and one or two
have placed their columns at the SER
vice OF the ex-State Treasurer for an
explanation, yet none has been
made.
Several large taxpayers Of Reno
say the public have a right to know
how $1,000 silver dollars that had ne
been in circulation: found their way
from the mint to the State Treasury.
The coinage Of standard dollars at the
