JACKSONIAN
CLUB Formed
At RENO
DEMOCRATIC SOCIETY OF STATE
WIDE SCOPE LAUNCHED
AFTER BANQUET.

Before the members of the
executive committee of the state
central committee and many of the
visiting democrats left for their
homes after the Jackson banquet
last Saturday, a move was made
to perpetuate an organization to
bring in closer and more regular
touch those having an interest in
the welfare of democracy in Neva-
da. The move resulted in the form
alton of the Jacksonian club, which
seems to be destined to become a
potent factor in the coming years.
The club was formed on Monday
at meeting attended by repre-
sentatives from all parts of the
state and the following officers
were chosen for the initial term:
President, Francis G. Newlanda,
United States senator at Washing
ton; vice president, ]. F. Shaughnes-
sy, member of the state railroad
commission at Carson; ]. F. Haley,
state license and bullion tax agent
secretary, and NJ M. Van Fleet
state bank examiner, treasurer
The club will have for it's pur-
pose the closer unification of the
democrats from all parts of Ne
vada and the interchange of ideas
through the medium of banquets

ON THE BRIDGE
ny Sarah Huntington

'Who was it thought about building
this?" asked Ted, as he looked down
from the car window as the train crept
out over the Poughkeepsie bridge
1T is hard to say who thought, about
the first bridge" said his father. II
suppose the first time a bridge was
made some one threw some great
stones into the water and walked over
on them: or they broke down a tree
and laid it across the space and
crawled across to the other side"
"And then what?" asked Ted, who
always wanted the entire story, and
sometimes more.
Next they probably heaped the
stones so they could pass over deeper
water, and they bound longer boughs
together"
"And them"
'Well. and then they kept adding
stones or boughs and putting them to-
gether in better fashion until the time
came when they could build such
bridge as this, or the great Forth
bridge that you read about, or Puntoon
bridge in Calcutta; then there is the
Brooklyn bridge you go over when you
go to see your aunt"
"Oh it is just making them better
and better-just from a little?" said
Ted. taking his first lesson in the
progress of structure.
"Yes, that is the way great things
grow-great men try to make the
things we need and make them better"

BUSINESS MEN FIND 1T MOI
CONVENIENT TO HOLD OFFICE
HONORABLE MENTION

HONORAblk1 MENlAON
Dear Aunt Laurie:
T WILL try, though my knowledge OF
this matter be limited, to describe
a some Of the affairs of Californian
government as they now stand
The state of California has, of course,
one capital. That capital is situated in
the northern part of the state, in a
place where it takes a few days by
railway for a South Californian to
reach.
The Southern Pacific Railway COM
pany has charge of that railway, there
fore it has the power to manage many
unlawful things The Southern Pacific
company uses its forces and nominates
a man for some office of law. They
then give this man free transportation
to the capital and do all else in their
power to "boost" him. Men nominated
by this company are usually more or
less crooked" but they have free
transportation and strong backing, so
they often get the desired office.
Really honest men of Southern Call
fornia have a rather poor chance
against these just mentioned. Because
they do not agree to stand for the
morals or mmorals of the Southern
Pacific they are not paid for leaving
their occupations and are not given free
transportation to the capital. So il the
deSira BILE honest man Is not wealthy he
cannot well afford to leave his regular
business for an absence of several days
or weeks.
Thus. you see. as long as Cali
fornia remains as one state only the
chances are that its governmental
rulers will be bribed ones, and conse-
quently injurious to the state.
Were California divided into two
states it would be better for the
southern division. Taxes upon our peo-
pie would not be so high. By having a
Southern California capital desirable
men would find it more convenient to
hold office. This would do away with
great deal of graft. Then. too. the
Southern California will soon have a
great harbor. Most of the money from
the trade and commerce connected with
that harbor would go to Southern Cali
fornians We're our state divided instead
of to the Southern Pacific.
Besides the more necessary reasons
that | have given the fact that Cali
fornia has large enough and cul-
tured enough population to be divided
into two states ought to be an almost
sufficient reason that California should
be divided. HELEN NJ. FERGUSON.

INTEREST OF NORTH
AND SOUTH NOT IN COMMON
FIRST PRIZE

FIRST PRIZE
Dear Aunt Laurie:
HHOSE who consider California's
great size. it's long coast line, its
u diversity of interests and influence
of the Pacific coast, can only advise
division. 1t is demanded by the highest
interests of all sections.
The interests of Southern and North
ern divisions differ in many ways
Southern California has no interest in
brush dams or other remedial measures
and does not want to pay for them.
She has no navigable streams or no
disputes between farmers and miners,
so these things are of no interest to her.
The mining and numbering interests
of the north also differ from those of
the south.
Southern California does not want
sheep ranches or sheep to destroy the
mountain verdure, and so has passed
stringent measures which are expected
to be prohibitory to sheep pasturing.
while the north is a factor in the
worlds output of WOOL
The game season of Southern Cali
fornia is different from that of the
north, and rules suitable for the preser-
walton of game in the north are insult
able for that purpose in the south.
The great railroad problem is quite
north commerce and transportation is
in the hands of one corporation, while
in the south it is very different. South
ern California has two transcontinental
lines, also several independent roads.
and consequently is not dominated by
any one person or corporation.
Southern California maintains many
state institutions and derives no bene-
fit from them. On the contrary, a COM
mission competent to serve our in
terests greatly in introducing suitable
trees in places where it is difficult to
grow them has been done away with.
Our conditions are not understood by
the northern legislators, and as we
are ready and willing to bear our own
burdens in the way of state institu
tions why does the north wish to be
taxed to share the expense?
Southern California has at least 400,
600 inhabitants. an area of 5000 square
miles and $50O,0O0.000 worth of taxable
property. This is ample for a state
government if the line were drawn at

THE sTREAMLET,s SONG

Murmur murmur little stream,
Rushing, rushing on so fast;
Catching every golden gleam
AS you hurry, hurry past!
Maybe II we listen well
We can understand your song;
Wondrous things you have TO tell.
For you've Travelled far and long.
Hark! it murmurs of the way
It has flowed through meadowlands;
Tells of little folks who play
Mid its shining, pebbly sands.
1t has sailed their tiny boats
Rippled back to them each smile;
Cooled their parched and thirsty throats,
Softly singing all the while.
And It says though not SO great
As river or a sea,
II has still q happy fate
In dispensing so much gleel
That It's glad and quite content
To be able to reflect
Smiles and sunbeams' wonderment--
So would we be, expect!
So let's listen, children dear
AS the streamlet runs along;
II we but have ears to hear
We can initiate It's song!

state in the Union can relate. Just
think of the history of the old missions,
reaching from Sonoma in the north to
San Diego in the south.
Our patriotic sentiment. l trust, is
too strong for us to wish to divide Cali
fornia. Again, we would lose part of
the wealth of California. The greatest
mineral products are found in the
northern part. The Sierran region
yields the gold that makes California
the Golden state. Iron is smelted in
Shasta county. The total value of the
products is 100000 a year.
Do we want to lose this? No. Then.
again, the northern part of the state is
devoted to numbering. Three billion
feet of lumber is cut annually from the
splendid redwood trees and shipped
to the markets of the world.
A new capitol would have to be built
in Southern California. Besides this. a
state library and other institutions
would have to be built, which would
greatly increase taxation.
There is strength in unity, Dividing
the state means weakening our strength
materially. The state would cease to
cooperate. The state as whole is
more able to prosper than if there We're
many small states. We could not un-
dertake great development projects if
California were divided. State money
is for development purposes, for state
highways, state institutions, etc, and
the state as a whole can raise more
money for these purposes than can only
half the state.
Therefore, am I not right in saying
that California should not be divided?

ExORBITANT TAXES
LEVIED ON SoUTHERNERS
HONORABLE MENTION

Dear Aunt Laurie:
T FAVOR the division of California,
because, first. its size would per-
nit the division into two good
sized states which could be called
North and South California. Second,
the interests of the northern and south
ern portions of the state are vastly
different.
AS it exists now, in the state govern
nlent, legislators from the north some
times introduce measures which wholly
Unconcern the legislators from the
southern part of the state, and a great
deal of trouble is encountered before
the bill is passed, if it is at all. A
good instance of this, or about the
same thing, was the defeat of the
San Francisco seawall bill. The main
opposition to the bill was in Southern
California. The people here want to
use their hard-earned money for the
Improvement of the Los Angeles har-
Dor instead of the San Francisco har-
Dor, from which they would receive no
benefit whatever.
Third the two chief cities of the
state are vastly different. San Fran
cisco in North California has a reputa
tion of which no city should be proud.
On the other hand. Los Angeles in
South California has endeavored to
throw off the machine rule. and has
succeeded in the city government, but
will have harder time, as long as
the crooks and grafters are being sent
from san Francisco to the legisla-
ture.
Fourth, with a division of the state,
more justice would be administered in
the leVying of the tax rate, because
with the government in the hands of
the benehciaries of the taxes, more
discretion would be used in both the
levying and the spendig of the taxes.
A recent example of the unjust taxa
ii N was hown by the levying of the
tax rate fer Los Angeles county. Here
Los Angeles was required to pay a
higher TAX rate than any other county
in the state, although the actual val
uation is not the largest. Other coun-
ties in Southern California were also
assessed exorbitantly. The board of
equalization was of course controlled
by northern men.

VOTE CONTROLLED BY NORTH

Dear Aunt Laurie:
/ most certainly am in favor of the
division of California into a North and
South California. Geographically,
Southern California is separated from
the northern part of the state. But
this is of minor Importance compared
with the unjust treatment Southern
California has received from the north.
The board of equalization forced the
people of the southern counties to pay
exceedingly heavy taxes, while the
northern counties were taxed but
lightly suppose because they We're
the select counties. "he board of
equalization probably thought, "Oh.
we'll. we (northern California; are more
important than Southern California,
anyway: of course we shouldn't pay
as much taxes Well give the south
hard blow, because we are running
things now"
Yes, I suppose they thought they
were running things, but they won't
run them again if Southern California
once opens its eyes If all the people
of Southern California knew the real
truth they would demand state division
at once. The earnest work of all its
people is all that is needed.
We are not being properly respected
by the northern part of the state. The
real reason is that we are increasing
in reputation and y ealth very rapidly,
and the north is jealous of us. Let all
the people unite, and we will soon be a
separate state with Los Angeles as
the capital Your nephew,

that California ought not be divided
My reasons are:
First-If ii is divided there will be
one, and only one, city large enough
to be the capital of each of the new
states. They would be Los Angeles in
southern and San Francisco or Sacra-
mento in the northern. In that way
the capital would not be any nearer
the center of it's state than Sacramento
is now in the center of California.
Second-Division would raise the
taxes, especially in the southern state
as there would be the great expense
of building the capitol and grounds.
The capitol is now very much too far
north for the benefit of the people in
the south. If it We're moved nearer
the center of California-to Fresno,
Tulare or even Monterey county, it
would satisfy all the people.
1t would not raise the taxes so much
to move the capital as division would.
because the whole large state would
pay them instead of the one small one.
Third-The state is not thickly
enough populated to divide into two
states. Division would weaken the
power of the newly made southern
state as we'll as the northern state.
for it would decrease the number of
representatives in them. BY division
though, it would increase the number
of senators by two.

Jones was painting his own house
one summer day when a neighbor
happened along and asked
Don't you find it pretty hot paint

yes, but I'm making lots O money

81 should think it would be cheaper
to hire it done?" suggested the caller
Eyes, but I'm getting two prices for
this, replied the painting home
owner.
Seems to me you are out all your

mo, stree! I'm making $500 real
money on this job"
How do you make that out?"
well, amt dollar saved equal to
two dollars earned"
Il grant you in some cases"
This is one O. that kind, guess"
Il don't catch the drift"
Now, see here: The contractor
wanted 5000 to paint my house. The
ready mixed paint cost me only SIS,
brushes and all"
Whats that got to do with your
making $4oo?"
Everything. Wouldn't I have to
pay the painter $500"
"Yes."
well, wouldn't I have to earn 5000
to pay it with:
"Yes"
well, that's $500 earned because
I've saved the $500 l would have
paid the other fellow. Say, I'm en-
joying the job at the price"
And the neighbor went on down
the road wondering if Jones wasn't
about half right anyhow.
