The Wadsworth dispatch. [volume] (Wadsworth, Nev.) 1892-1899, 1897-02-27

Representative Bartholdt objects to
one Of the clauses Of the proposed immi
grant educational bill. 1t is the clause
which stops an illiterate wife from land
ing in the country with her husband
who can read and write. Let Repre-
sentative Rsrtholdt subside. That clause
Is all right. There is no country in CIV
ilization where people cannot learn to
read and write if they wish to. The
privilege OF coming to the United States
ia worth the trouble Of learning to read
and write in order to be permitted to
enter it, and those not willing to take
80 much trouble should not be allowed
to come here at all. We do not want
any more illiterate mothers in tkis re-
public. Illiterate fathers are bad enough.
Illiterate mothers are worse, so far as
the morality and intelligence of the
country are concerned.

COMPILATION OF THE LAWS.

This is very opportune time to call the
attention of the legislature to the fact
that there is an urgent need for thor
ough compilation of territorial laws in
the interest of efficient and intelligent
administration. That this matter has
been too long neglected will be admitted
by all conversant with The subject. The
last compilation was made IN 1884. Since
that time five sessions of the legislature
have been held, and many new laws have
been added from time to time to existing
statutes. Others have been amended,
changed or rendered from various causes
imperative, while still others have be-
come obsolete, and stan6 upon the statute
books as dead letters. The laws of 1887
and 1889 are entirely out of print, and
can not be secured at any price, while
those of the session of 1884 are nearly so,
copies being held as high as 1876 and $40.
This is state of affairs which calls for
immediate attention, and which precludes
possibility of prompt and proper con-
duct of business, especially with regard
to the courts. A thorough compilation
of territorial laws should be made at once
and order brought out of the existing
chaos, for which there can be no good
exeuse

A NEEDED CHANGE.

Our tax laws should be 80 changed as
to provide a better check on the tax col
lector and on the district attorneys who
bring suit for the collection of taxes, All
receipts issued for taxes should be re-
corded by the county clerk and counter
signed by him. Proper reports thereof
should be made 10 onthly to the boards of
county commissioners and com parison Of
the accounts of the tax collector and
county clerk should be had monthly.
The district attorneys should be COM
PEELED to make monthly reports of suits
filed, taxes collected and moneys paid
over TO the proper officials and should be
compelled to account monthly for all
public moneys received by them on ac-
count of taxes. 1t is high time that
something of the sort were done. The
taxpayers are losing too much money
under the present loose and inefficient
system of accounting for tax collections.

COUNCILMAN MARTIN did the people Of
the territory good service by the intro
duction of his memorial praying congress
to defeat the socalled Avery bill, legaliz-
ing about $1,50O,00O fraudulent New Mex
leo militia warrants, and every member of
the Legislature voting for the passage of
the memorial, also did excellent service
for the people of New Mexico in this
matter. The Santa Fest. Louis--New

money lenders will have to try again.

CoRBETT thinks that the big fight soon
to come off in "the little rotten borough
of Nevada will bring capitalists to the
state in search of investments. This ar
gument is a5out as sensible as any that
ha =, been adduced ia favor of the mill,
which, everybody knows, will attract prin-
cipally the criminal classes. The spec
tacle of state legislature granting per-
mission for prize fight, which in some
states is misdemeanor and in others a
felony, isnot calculated to impress foreign
capital. And yet, it was upon Corbett's
argument as mentioned above, that the
pugs carried the day and obtained the
desired permission to give an exhibition
of brutality, that is rapidly coming to be
recognized as a relic of barbarism.

SENATOR STEWART, of Nevada, is very
much opposed to the appointment OF
Senator John Sherman to the state de-
