Carson City daily appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1907-1930, 1911-03-18

THE very foundation OF good government rests upon the basic
proposition OF the greatest good to the greatest number.
The prosperity and progress Of a great commonwealth cannot be
built upon any other lines.
The fact that such a throughly good piece OF legislation as what was
commonly known as The Water Bill" me its Waterloo in the hands
OF the Governor because OF a wrangle the distribution c.: patronage,
is the most deplorablc event OF the entire session.
1t is dcplorable because it leaves the State poweress to take
proper advantage OF the Cary ct and it deprves thousands of water
users throughout the State OF the admitted benefits OF the act
The act itself upon which the State Engineer had spent months
OF time. conceded o be OF inestmabc value to the State No one
could be found who had a single word OF adverse criticism.
The ct passed both houses OF the legislature and it W as the will
OF the people a. expressed by their chosen representatives.
Then like q thunder clap from a clear sky came the veto OF the
terms that he widyholds his approval OF the bill for the sole reason that
it takes the patronage out OF his hands.
The position he takes is that the handling OF patronage is a greater
consideration with him thaa the welfare OF the people OF the state.
Examine the message from every possible viewpoin, and you can
get nothing else out OF it
1t is idle for the Republican press % attempt to throw the blame
for the loss OF the bill upon the Democrats in the Legislature True
the bill was killed but the Governor a the last person seen with it and
it a alive when it entered his office on Thursday last.
Governor Odde entered upon the discharge OF his duties with the
hearty good will OF nearly every citizen OF Nevada But he should real
ize the fact that the distribution OF patronage is about the last OF his
duties lie is solely an executive and not a lawmaking officer. The
Legislature, when in session holds the reins OF power and its rule is
absolutely paramont to all else.
The Governor is there as a sworn officer OF the state to execute the
laws made by the Legislature and he has no official power to dictate
to any member OF that body. He has the right to etc vicious Acts
but this Act did no. fall in that class.
The Republican party in the Legislature upheld the proposition that
it desires to perpetuate a patronage and spols system and it has thrown
down the gauntlet o the people of Nevada and stated that it regards
the patronage proposition as paramount to the peoples interest
The Democratic party is ready to take exception to this and accept,
the issue thrown down.

Will They Ask Protection?

NOW that a number OF Americans have been captured by Diaz'
soldiers while fighting against the Mexican government at Casas
Grandes there probably will be al ounry against allowing punishment
to be inflicted upon them. They and their friends will, n O doubt de-
pened OF long ago when two Americans serving with the revoutionists
in Nicaragua fell into the hands of the government troops.
Mexican insurrectos have forfeited their right to the protection OF our
government. The majority OF them perhaps joined the revolutionary
forces merely in a spirit OF adventure, but whatever their motive they

The best that these advenurers "a expect is that they be treated
as prisoners of war. Even such treatment, however, would be a CON

a N aggravated condition OF a in which the rebels have the same
rights that foreign foes would enjoy.
Mexico has every right to court-marual and shoot Americans

Denver Platform

THE following is the income AK plank OF the Denver platform:

1t has already been carried out. No republican national platform
ever declared for al income tax Jaw or for a amendment to the
constitution authorizing such a law. 1t is something o be proud Of
that a republican president had to come to a democratic platform to

WHERE SUCCESS OF ONE
PER CENT RATE
HINGES

The ideal condition with respect to
taxation can only exist when all prop
erty is on the tax duplicate at its true
value in money. Then there will be no
favOritism. Under the old system ora
high rate, higher in many Instances
than the increment Of investments, II
was impossible TO get the great mass or
personal property on the duplicate
owners Of IL pojured themselves TO
hide Il from tho assessors. Real estate
was placed on the duplicate at any
whore from Ave TO 90 per cent OF It's
value. inequality Instead OF equality
was the rule.
The low rate should have different
influence, for under it all property
owners can return all their property at
its true value, and still not pay any
moro taxes than they did under the
high rate.
Under the low rate, property invest
ed in prosperous corporations can be
returned for taxation and still leave a
wider margin for profit than was real
lied when money was placed in three
and four per cent non-taxable public
bonds.
We must have a full and honest as
sessment of property to make the one
per cent rate a success. So tho success
OF tho law Is based upon the fact of the
peoples honesty. There is no reason
why anyone should refuse to accept
that task.

WATER AND.
MERCHANDISE
BURNED
I'm Costly Freight Wreck ON Gin
cinnati Northern Railroad
Last Sunday.

A disastrous freight wreck occurred
on the Cincinnati Northern, two miles
south Of Rockford about IL o'clock
last Sunday morning, when an axle of
car on north bound through freight
broke, derailing five loaded cars,
which in some manner Immediately
caught fire. The car which caused the
wreck contained automobiles, a big
consignment of whiskey and other
merchandise, and il is supposed some
intlamable material which started the
fire.
No fire protection was to be had and
before the cars could be separated to
stop the spread of the flames, the FIVE
deTailed cars were consumed, causing
a loss of thousands OF dollars. Two of
the cars burned were loaded with black
walnut lumber, an almost priceless
consignment, billed for st. Petersburg,
Russia, while another was filled with
consignment of straw wberries from
southern markets. The other cars con-
tanned general merchandise.
Wrecking crews were rushed to the
scene and temporary track was built
around the wreckage. The north
bound Cincinnati excursion train was
delayed here for several hours, but
finally proceeded as far as the scene Of
the disaster, where the passengers were
transferred to a special that had been
made up at Van Vert.

i'm THE COURTS

Senator j. d. Johnson and Judge r.
l.. Mattingly were at Columbus Wed %
nesday, looking after their clients in
terest in the damage case of Smith &
Faro vs.. the village Of Mendon, which
was heard before the supreme court.
Judge Mattingly is counsel for the
plaintiffs in the suit, Smith 81 Faro,
Greenville contractors, while Senator
Johnson is looking after the interests
of the village.
The suit was begun in the common
pleas court in this city three years
ago, the plaintiffs asking for IS, 800 with
interest, claiming the city of Mendon
owed them that sum for macadimizing
a street and had refused them pay
ment.
The common pleas court found for
the plaintiffs and this verdict was sus-
tanned year later by the circuit court.
The case was then taken to the supreme
court on error, and its decision is anx-
iously awaited.
Faro, one of the contractors and
plaintiffs, was made deputy sheriff of
narke county shortly after the SUIT was
started, and was shot to death by an
insane murderer whom he was endeav-
oring to place under arrest little over
year ago.

BOOSTERS SHOULD
GET ON WAR PAINT.

The meeting Of the Northwestern
Ohio volunteer fremen is only about a
month away, and If Celna is to cap
ture the prize for next year, something
must be Immediately doing. Boosters
who went to Ottawa last summer and
made such a gallant fight to bring 1t
here have some idea what it means to
land il and the competition to be en-
countered in so doing and the mon
ster undertaking II really is.
CelIna can get it If she will go after
it with vim, but it will take united
pull. Should we get 1t, the town Will
have to look after the biggest two-day
crowd that has ever been within our
gates. But IL would be worth while.
Chief Weisman of the local fire de-
partment was circulating among the
printing offices the first of the week
asking them to beat their tom-toms in
an endeavor to line up our business
men for dash to Wapakoneta in June

inc our war chest and stock up on
boomers ammunition.

SOMETHING ON
SUBJECT SOIL
MOISTURE
"A. B. Graham, Supt. Agricultural
Extangion

A. B. Graham, Supt. Agricultural
Extension.
If every farmer was compelled to
haul and pour over each acre of his
farm over 200 barrels of water per day,
he would gain some conception of the
amount of moisture evapOrated from
an exposed, uncultivated soil at this
season of the year. This evaporation
varies according to the kind and con-
ditiOn of the soil, weather, location,
ETC., but under average conditions the
sun and wind are rapidly drawing
from the soil that moisture which will
be needed later in the season for crop
growth. 1t is just like drawing dollars
from the farmers pockets.
Now is the time to prevent this loss.
Soil moisture is valuable. Past re-
cords show that an inch of rainfall in
July means $4,000, 900 worth of corn to
the state of Ohio. While farmers can
not make an inch of rainfall in July
they can carry an inch of soil moisture
over from May until July, and that
means the same thing.
An inch of rainfall means Il3 tons of
water per acre. If this is allowed to
escape at the rate of 200 barrels per
day, it will require only four days to
lose the entire inch. Every farmer who
fails to prevent evaporation is losing
his share of that S5,0O0,OOO. Are you
one of the losers?
How can this evaporation be pre-
vented?. By cultivating the soil. Keep
the surface of the soil in a fine, loose
condition. Follow the plow with the
harrow. Harrow the cornfield before
the corn is up; after it is up; cultivate
often enough to keep a good soil mulch.
Don't be stingy with the use of the cul-
tivatOr.
The amount of moisture in the soil
this spring is below normal. Moisture
is essential to maximum crop produc-
ton.
Conserve your soil moisture. Do it
now.

convention of Ohio meets In Memorial

The principal demonstrativo feature
will be the great illuminated parade.
Fifteen thousand men in the line Of
march. Think ofit. The internation-
al parade at Louisville; the worlds
parade at Washington and the two
Pennsylvania parades we're about half
the size OF the Cleveland 1910 parade
of thirteen thousand-and that is past
history. Ohio's Sunday School world
is looking towards Dayton for a bigger
parade-and they will see 1t. The best
of all will be the great meetings for
men to which the parade will march,
four or them in number.

BASE BALL.

Celina will play the newly organized
Rockford team next Sunday afternoon.
The popular Joe will do the slab work
for Celina, with either McCann or
Wright working for the visitors.
There was nothing worse ever seen in
base balloon, unless il was that awful
drubbing of the Reds by the Phillies
last Monday, than the contest on the
Mercelina Park diamond last Sunday.
II was worse than an old time game of
round scrub, with not one thing of in
terest to oounterbalance the rotteness.
Things went along smoothly until
the fifth inning, when young Bethel
got the motorcycle speed fever and
busted things up over in second base
ground. This blunder caused three
runs. Then things got so bad that only
the stencil from the stearic acid works
could equal the resulting odor
The visitors assisted by few clean
bingles, and several more Grumpy"
plays added four more in the first half
of the sixth.
Celina had two, and in a wonderful
(?) rally tied the score in their half of
this brilliant inning.
Captain Ellis then jerked, the south
paw off the rubber and endeavored to
collect the outfit together for a home
stretch struggle, and it might have
worked-had he also put hobbies on
Mabel.
The visitors, however, found Caps
shoots in eighth, and trotted three more
men across the plate, and Celina
couldn't catch up.
