FROM DAILY

None of ElkO county's Legislators
showed up TODAY. They were probably
too rAtigucl with their labors to leave
Carson yesterday.
\ light snow fell last night and this
forenoon there WAS quite u blizzard.
Taking the day as Il whole it has been Il
gcnnine March day.
John Henderson returned from Carson
this morning. He is charged with the
defeat of the guarantee deposit feature
Of the new banking law. Some of the
state papers give him hail Columbia for
defeating that feature of the bill.
Nearly all the state papers condemn
the Legislature for what it did and what
it failed to do. The writer knows so
little about the laws passed. that he
does not feel justified in making an cx-
tended criticism. He is safe in saying,
however. that some of the legislation
WAS most ~cxtravaSant. New positions,
useless to the people. were created and
official salaries were raised where there
is no justification for the increase.
Governor Dickerson seemed very
much disappointed at the refusal of
the Scnat to abolish the state board
Of aSseS>Jr5 and the defeat guarantee
feature of the new banking law.
Beside sending II special message to
the legislature on both matters, he
issued another signed statement and
hal it published in an extra edition of
the Carson Appeal. The governor
seems to run to signed statements, but
the last one had no effect on the senate.
