FACTS THE VOTER
SHOULD CONSIDER

The salary Of. the governor Of Ne
vada is $4,000 per year, and that 10 the
sum on which the state executives in
the past have had to tide along with.
paying their own travelling expensss,
room rent, grocery bins and laundry.
But the last few Democratic lseisla-
lures, in their generosity with the
public funds, and unhampered BY any
vETOES, have brought up the gub-
ernatorial perquisites to : more 10
spectacle showing. The sum Of co.
600 was appropriated for an executive
mansion. This was begun and finish.
ed since Goveror Dickerson succeeded
to the governorship. 1t was built and
furnished by the state. The legisla-
ture of 1909 was persuaded to make IL
appropriation to cover the cost Of its
maintenance, to.wit, servant hiys,
grocery bills, etc. The portion u the
year 1909 the new mansion was ocGu-
pied this cost the state 41,000.21. An
nual travelling expenses, mot exceeding
the sum of $1,000 per year, have BEEN
paced at the governor . disposal, and
not entirely overlooked. 0oveFnoe

state police, draws down tl,200 addi.

Following are pictures Of two pub
lie buildings, both situated In Carson
time. they are simply reproduced hste
cost and worth of public work conduct
ed by Republicans and similar public
work conducted by Democrats. A few
years ago q Republican board Of
school trustees of Carson City. under
the advice Of Hon. E. E. Roberts (thdn
district attorney and county superin-
tendent OF schools), now Republican
nominee for congress, erected q CO.
ment-stone schoolhouse for Carson. It
Is, without question, the states Ansst
school building; commodious, artistic,
healthful and enduring. EverythiAG
that went into it had to be paid for
the workmanship is of the best, and il
cost $4,000.
The state library annex 10 the caps
toI building is about one-third the sis1
OF the public school building and arehi.
tecturally resembles q cross between .
block-house and Chinese paeoda- II
is hollow shell, practically without
partitions. Every stone in its walls
was furnished without cost from the
Carson penitentiary quarry, and hswn
to shape by convicts. It cost the
state $4,000, or one-haH - much
again as the school building. We vsa-
ture that half dozen reputable con-
tractors in the state will undertake to
reproduce it, with stone similarly fur
nished free, at less than half what
they viii contract to duplicate tAe
Carson scho0lhuse.
