Carson City daily appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1907-1930, 1910-12-09
County Divisions

IT. HE APPEAL Of yesterday published an article from the Yerington
Times. one OF the oldest e established papers in this section OF
Nevada, in which that paper sets up its side OF the county divis-
ion story. The paper shows by &C tual figures that Yerington and the
immediate territory paid fully enty-hve pr cent OF the county taxa
tnn. Is against six per cent for the Dayton end. 1t also claims a solid
Legislative delegation opposed to sub-dividing the county With this
showing the people certainly have a right in the case.
The Appeal is looking for any territory that will benefit the county
of Ormsby. 1t does not are where it comes from; Washoe County
looks just as good as does Lyon. but it does 0 "a any division
whore the majority OF a county rules against a division.
This paper will make a fight for right, and Of protect wrong. Coun-
t division should only be made by the voice OF the people affected. and
unless Inc majority are wiling TO into camp peacefully Ap-
peal will not take up a fight along the lines proposed. During the last
two Legislative meetings such fgh is have been put up and in each cas-
lost. The county that wants divs ion is entitled to it. This va shown
in the case OF Lincoln County as Clark County was carved from the
original block.
The trouble with this county is that it is putting o a City Govern
ment and all the side frils wien in truth it is the smallest chunk in the
entire territory. Trim down III sails; do away with a lot OF useless
city expense and get down to brass tacks. We haven't any more need
for a city government than we have for a professional aviator. Cut
down expensive salaries where they are not necessary, and We will be
getting back o earth.
If there is a chance to land M additional territory The Appeal is
after it red not. but the annexation must o through a willingness on
the part Of the people take into camp. No PHILIPPINE requirements for
u.s.. if you please.
AN ARTICLE is going the 70 nds of III press asking who has all
the coin. the result of many years labor and heavy crops throughout
the United States for the past forty years None OF the newspaper
ne have pt in any claims. A few such old boys as Morgan. Rookie
teller. the Gusenheims and Lewishons might be able to offer some
some opinion along the line. Even he sheep men are able to sit up and
tae notice.
