NEVADA GETS SMALL END
: None of the Federal Appointmen nts
Belonging to Her Seems to
Come This Way

The Federal appoints which natur-
ally belong to each state as a matter
of courtesy are supposed to be evenly
distributed and each state gets it's
share. Nevada, however, has not at
the present time single consulate
officer anywhere in the world.
In the old days the mission to Japan
and the Sandwich Islands were con-
sidered as belonging to Nevada. They
went glimmering many years ago and
all that is left is an occasional cadet
ship somewhere in the Navy Academy
or a chance for a wandering typo to
do a stunt in the government printing
office,
1t would seem time for our repre-
sentatives to make a lively demand
for what belongs to this section of
the earth.
