GOVERNOR VETOED 1T.

Governor John Sparks has vetoed the
Governors Mansion bill. recently passed
by the legislature. The Silver State
thought the Governor would put the
stamp of condemnation on the measur
and said so several weeks ago. Governor
Sparks is practical and is not given to
making a show. The Silver States rea-
son for thinking the Governor would veto
the bill was that Nevada needed many
things worse thai she needs a Governors
mansion and this paper thought it knew
Governor Sparks too well to think he
would approve of such a foolish measure
as the Governors Mansion bill was. Gov
ernor Sparks gave his reasons for his
veto to the Carson Appeal in the follow
ing interview:
II feel that the State needs many things
just now more than a Governors man
sion. We are piling up weight in the
capitol building year after year, until
don't fall down on us. We need a build
ing to store records or a place for the
Library and the Supreme Court. We also
neeo a better water supply for the Cap
itol and ave always felt that we could
not better expend a few thousand dollars
going down deep enough to demonstrate
the possibility of artesian wells here. We
would be certain to succeed and would
give new life and impetus to that kind
of irrigation.
Il think that the State can well wait
until we could afford to erect a better
mansion than sl5, 600 would put up.
w are beginning to climb up hill now,
but we will have a good deal more rev.
enue to handle in two years from now.
II have studied the matter very care
fully and acted in a way l considered
right and for the best interest of the

The House passed the E-sch-Townsend
vote of 326 to II. says Golfers Weekly.
This approach to unanimity was far from
indicating any general agreement on the
merits of the bin. 1t was obtained by
virtue of hat almost complete abdica-
ton of all the functions of a parliament
in which the late Car Reed exulted
Representatives was no longer a delip-
erative body. Both parties desired to go
on record in favor of rate legislation.
The Republican leaders adopted a rule
under which only two propositions could
be voted upon, the E~sch-Townsend bin,
which had been adopted by a Republican
been adopted by a Democratic caucus.
No amendment offered by any Individual
member was allowed to come to a vote.
Both caucus measures were admittedly
imperfect, but no attempt to improve
either of them was tolerated. The Dem
ocrats were allowed to tote for their own
Dill, just as it stood, and when that was
beaten they had the choice Of voting for
the Republican measure or of going on
record as opposed to any railroad legfs-
lation at all. Naturally most of them
voted for the Republican bill. Few on
either side expected their course to have
any practical results, for there was every
prospect that the Senate would refuse to
take any action during the life of this
Congress. But If the Senate should take
action it was certain to alter the bin be-
yond recognition. so that the form in
which it happened to leave the House
was a matter of minor consequence. The
great vote in the House could not be
expected to nave even a moral effect on
the Senate. since so much of il was man.

Everybody in Washoe county except
the Washoe County Bar Association is
against the bill providing for two Dis
trict Judges in the Second District. 1t
would mean double the expense, and so
long as one Judge can do the business
better than two the people are right in
the matter, for we do not think the Sec
ond Judicial District needs two Judges
any more than a wagon needs five wheels.
It is very doubtful if the bill passes. but
if it does the Governor should veto it.
We don't wish to be understood either
as telling Governor Sparks what he
should or what not to do, but were We
the Governor we know what we would do
in the interest of the people who are tax
ed to the limit now. The stamp of dis
approval should be put on the measure
with the biggest pen made were we in the
Governors position. For similar reasons
given for thinking Governor Sparks would
veto the Governors Mansion bill we
think that Governor Sparks will veto the
Second Judicial District bill, should 1t
pass.

UP TO CARNEGIE,

The appeals of the Argus to the cit
liens of Lewistown in behalf of the
Carnegie library was not in vain. It
only needed a little awakening, and
a few days of rustling to meet the re-
quirements of Mr.. Carnegie. A deed
and abstract to two lots On upper Main
street having been procured and turn
ed over to Mr.. F. E. Smith, chairman
of the library board, and the same
mailed to Mr.. Carnegie at once, for
his APPROVAL there should be but little
delay before active work on the build
ing is commenced. 1t is not likely that
Mr.. Carnegie eXacts a time limit for
the acceptance of his offer. In any
event it would probably hold good for
a year. Being a man of wide eXper
ience he understands the difficulties
some times met with in getting public
enterprises under motion. No doubt
Mr.. Carnegie or his agent will be heard

done. Many would have preferred a
more central location, but that seem

afford to lose the library and we trust
that every obstacle has now been re
moved that stood in the way of its
procurement.

CLOSE TO A MILLION.

The assessed valuation of property
in Fergus county. as shown by As
SCISSOR Picks report and published in
our last issue. shows a splendid in
crease over last year. the figures be-
ing $S15,655. The total assessment
for 1904 was s7.321.779. while the
amount this year reaches SS.l31, 43i.
But few counties in the state will
show greater increase than Fergus,
although there are many which ante
date it in organization and settlement.
There has been a substantial growth
in real estate valuations, the gain over
last year being over 100000 In per-
sonal property there is an increase
over last year of nearly 100000 Real
estate and Improvements on same
show a healthy gain. In most every
instance there is an increase in the
assessable property. There are few
err stock sheep this year, but the as
sessment rate being higher the total
valuation shows an increase over last
year. There was no change in the
rate on stock cattle, and the report
shows an increase in numbers of over
10000 head
The number of stock sheep in the
county, as shown by the assessor
report, is 57S.54S, and their valuation
s1,446,37O. Of stock cattle, 6s,S54, val
ued at s1,239,372.
The net proceeds of mines this year
are given at $445,247; gain over last
year of SAL, 400.
AS this promises to be prosperous
year for all industries it is more than
likely that next years assessment
will show an increase of fully a mil

THE THREE Rs CONTROVERSY
AGAIN,

To say that an educational associa-
ton is in session anywhere or at any
time, with distin guished laymen as
participants in the discussion, is TO
prepare one for another airing of the
three Rs versus 'fadss controversy.
The second days exercises of the
session of the National Educational
Association as Asbury Park were
marked by an assault on the So
called fads and gallant defense of
the same. The assailant was Mayor
Mcclellan of New YORK, the defender
Mr.. Draper, the eminent educator.
Perhaps there is a real difference of
opinion between these gentlmen; if
SO, nither succeeded in bringing it out.
There is nothing rreconcilable be-
tween their respective views as re-
ported. What is true of this debate
is true of the average three Rs debate
there is more misapprehension than
actual divergence disclosed.
DR.. Draper, we are told maintained
that something more was needed than
that every child should acquire the
three Rs and then go to work, since
we stand for equal opportunity and
do not propose to create a peasant
class. True, perfectly true; but DR.
Draper certainly would not teach the
so-called fads and frlls at the eX
pense of the essentials. What the
conservatives" assert is that igno
rance Of the three Rs Is worse, more
dangerous to the American ideal, thar
neglect of the ornamental studies
Who will deny this? The chief pur
pose of public education, said Mayor
Mcclellan, is to make good citizens
This means that education must b,
