period, but, allowing that it all came
over and were added to the appro-
priations for this period, its payment
would make the aggregate expenditure
but sS6,24O.44 in excess of the sum OF
current revenue for the two years end
ed December 81. 1902.
Another thing to be remembered is
that a large proportion of the appro-
priations on current revenue account
are for the benefit and use of counties,
while the counties are to assume bur-
dens that the Territory had previously
sustained. 1t is probably too much to
expect that the Territory will be saved
as much expense as the counties are
to assume. Two sets of governments
will not merely divide the cost of a
single set, as there must be consid-
erable duplication and overlapping of
similar functions. Yet, with economy
and business judgment in both estab-
Iishments, the excess of the combined
expenditures over the present cost of
government ought not to spell bank
ruptcy.

comes into operation the first of 1904.
1t might be honest if true, though hard
To represent things that way. Taking
the financial affairs of the Territory for
the two years ended December 81, 1902,
and comparing them with the appro-
eriations for the two years ending
June 80, 1905, no such lugubrious pros
pect as that just mentioned is to be
apprehended. On the contrary, Ter
ritorial administration as economical
as that of the two years ended Decem-
ber 81, 1902, together with an honest
and intelligent administration of affairs
by the counties, ought to bring the
taxpayers through upon smooth seas
in the initial experience of county gov
ernment. 1t is to be taken for granted
that the current revenue for the pres
ent biennial period will not fall below
that of the two years with which COM
parison is being made. Then let fig
ures talk.
The current revenue for the two
years ended December 81, 1902, was s5.-
S55,S11.07. For the same period the cur
rent expenditures were $5,144, All. 81.
Thus a snug balance of SSH, ,399.76 was
left in the treasury. 1t is to be remem-
bered that there was no loan money to
spend in those two years, which would
naturally cause a greater drain than
usual upon current revenue.
The appropriations under current
: revenue for the present biennial period,
beginning July 1, 1908, amount to s4,-
992, 2,051.51 all told. supposing the cur
rent revenue do not exceed that for the
two years here compared, the expendi-
ture of these appropriations would
leave a surplus of 1868. 1886 at the end
Sof this period. 1t is said there is a
floating debt OF about s75o,O0o. Much
of this came over from the previous

THE WEEKLY COURIER.
Carson Letter.

ED. COURIER: Judge Works, for
nerly of the Supreme Court of Califor-
MIA and now a member of the Legisla-
ture of that State, introduced an
irrigation bill quite similar to the bill
passed by the Nevada Legislature. 1t
was carefully prepared, with much
labor, the Judge being aided by the
Water and Forest Society, and it was
endorsed by F. H. Newell, hydro
grapher of the Geological Survey, Ell
wood Mead, irrigation expert of the
Department of Agriculture, and other
members Of the commission which
helped to frame it. The Nevada bill
received similar high Endorsements.
The California measure could not re-
ceive a corporal's guard in its support,
and the Nevada measure went through
like creased lightning with scarcely
any opposition. Wouldn't that jar
you? The bill is as good for one State
as for the other. Both were intended
to help the general Government to
retrieve the bowling wilderness.
