Patronage.

made with the State a move which
| would lessen the income and efficiency of
our educational institutions, recommend
| ing to the Silver party county cOnven-
tons that they pledge their nominees to
| the Legislature to maintain the present
1 rate of interest.
Lottery.
| We believe that the establishment of a
lottery in this State would be an assault
upon the moral integrity of our people
and would result in financial degradation
| and political corruption and we there
| fore say, in the language of the Constitu-
| ton of the State of Nevada: No lottery
shall be authorized by this State, nor
| shall the sale of lottery tickets be al
lowed and we recommend to the va
rious Silver party county conventions
| that they pledge their Legislative NOM
inees to oppose any amendment to the
Constitution proposing the authorization
of a lottery.
Tax System.
| we SuULHlt tNdt the TAX rolls the
| State of Nevada indicate a valuation of
| property within it's borders of less than
twenty-four million dollars with an aver
dred of which the States proportion is
one dollar: that with a proper valuation
placed upon the property of the State
! the tax roll should show valuation of
one hundred million dollars worth of
| property; that a true assessment adjust
ed nearer to the equal value of property
| would reduce the average county taxes
! to DerhaDS dollar the hIlndrod
with the States proportion at about
| twenty-five cents on the hundred: that
| this differentiation of property results
/ in abnormally high tax rates and is Grip
ping our industries in addition to being
| a menace to the investment of outside
| capital. We therefore recommend to all
Silver party county conventions that
| hey pledge their nominees to the Legis-
| lature to support such measures will
| bring about reform in this direction.
Resolutions.
Whereas. At meeting Of the State
Central Committee of the Silver party,
held at Carson City during the Sena-
torial contest in January 1899, resolutions
were passed by said committee condemn
| atory of the good faith and party loyalty
Of the Hon. Francis G. Newlands; and
Whereas, At such meeting Hon. w. E.
Sharon was dsposed from the chairman
| largely by means Of proxies obtained by
and under the control of Senator William
NJ. Stewart. without proper notice to
Whereas, 1t mas since been demon
strated that the charges then made
against the Hon. Francis G. Newlands
were absolutely false and that the real
Jraitor to the silver cause was Senator
William M. Stewart, as has been demon
strated by his recent action; therefore,
we resolve that the resolution condemns
tory of Hon. Francis G. Newlands DO
stricken and expunged from the records
of the State Central Committee of the
Silver party, and that he is entitled to
the commentator of this convention for
his foresight two years ago and for his
action in opposition to the reelection Of
William NJ Stewart, because of the lat
ter's treason to the silver organization in
the campaign of 1898.
And We further denounce the recent
course and action of William M. Stewart
and demand his resignation as Senator
from this State.
Ard we further resolve that the action
Of the State Central Committee deposing
. w. E. Sharon from the craftsmanship of
. the State Central Committee be rescind-
ed and expunged from the record.
