COMMISSIONER NOR:
CROSS FIGHTS

considerable bad blood in Carson.
Commissioner Norcross seems to
be the storm center of the fight
Tuesday he put on his war paint
and started out to annihilate Hal
Mighels of the Carson Appeal.
He found his man and the story of
the combat is told as follows by
Mighels:
The first blood of the extra
session was shed this afternoon
when Commissioner Norcross of
the Publicity, Bureau called
representative of The Appeal
liar. The retort was returned
with few embellishments and
more to come. The row started
on the Appeal man meeting Nor
cross on the street in front of the
Carson Valley Bank. He asked who
wrote the article stating that the
State automobile had been used
for joy riding. Upon being ans
wcred that the editor had, he was
called liar. The fun was on.
Within few minutes the Com
missioner was hauled off with
bloody nose and out of winG, and
the editor. when he came in con-
tact with the edge of the curbing,
suffered bruised eye. The fight
was over.
The defense of Norcros by his
! fists is confession that he was
wrong. In the first place the state
machine has been used for JOY
rides to our knowledge and it is
reported that it has been used for
tishirg tips and other modes of
10y" riding. 1t has been one of
the laughing stock concerns of this
extravagant adjuncts of the state.
Through the management of Mr..
Norcross he has managed to get
rid of about everything in sight.
| This was anticipated when he was
boosted into office. The fact that
both Houses of the Legislature
have deemed it advisable to irvesti-
gate him and his methods of ex-
travaganc is enough to convince
the people in general that the APP
peal has made no mistake when it
quotes him as an exrravagant jny
riding member of the family that
is in tn treasury with both feet.
The Appeal has been loath to
comment on Charley Norcoss and
his modes of extravaganza. This
was mainly from the fact that the
writer had been connected in a
measure with the old Publicity
Bureau, and comparisons do not
always fit well. That bureau
struggled along without a fat for
tune at its command and the re-
suits we're that the State was not
stuck on secondhand automobile
that was saddled onto the State
by a friend of the administrati IN.
Mr.. Norcross has been regarded
as the advisor of Governor Oddie
since he assumed office. 1t is no
wonder that the ship of state has
hit the rocks. Such evidence as
that shown this afternoon denotes
the caliber of the man. When
shown in his true light his only
defense is fist fight. Is 1t any
wonder that he has kept the Gov
ernor in hot water and has more
a-boiling? In order to make room
for Charley Norcross he wasifound
the billet he is now occupying.
The only thing he has to show for
the eleven months of mismanage-
ment is a secondhand automobile
and drilling rig that is a fail ure,
as has been demonstrate d on three
occasions and is attested to by
people who have tried it.
The Appeal believes that the
extra session Of the Legislature
was called for the purpose of
economy and to investigate the
modes Of extravaganza. The first
man elected was Norcross. His

A. DIVIDED RESPONSIBILITY


monkey and parrot time in the
legislature. Some of its members
want to investigate for the purpos {
of stopping the, leaks in the State
treasury. These members who are
so keen for an Investigation seem
to forget that if there is extrava-
gance in the State government that
the responsibility for it rests
largely on the present and past
legislatures. They created the
useless positions and fixed the
excessive salaries. They filled the
State offices with useless assist
ants whose principal duties are to
draw down the fat salaries at the
end Of each month. 1t is through
the action of the legislature in
creating these positions that the
Capitol is filled with the wives,
daughters, aunts. nieces and
nephews of the State officials, all
of whom are being supported at
the expense of the State. 1t
seems to man up a tree that the
members of the legislature should
pi ok the beams out of their own
eyes before looking for the notes
that happen to be concealed in the
eyes of some state official.
Governor Oddie in his message
to the last regular session of the
legislature urged an investigation
of the financial condition of the
State with view to retrenchment,
but no notice was taken of tina
recommendation by the very men
who are now so keen for an in
vestigation. when it will result in
keeping the legislature in session
at the taxpayers expense. Perhaps,
the $40 per day they are drawing
from the State treasury is an in
centive to their present demand
for a sweeping investigation.
Part of the responsibility is also
Governor Oddie's. He recon-
mended that some of the positions
now in the limelight should be
created and signed the acts Great.
ing the m. When he approved
those acts, the officials created by
them were fastened upon the State
and had to be- paid While he is
in measure responsible for these
t officials, his responsibility is nc
greater than that of the men who
created them.
In response to the request that
he authorize an investigation
Governor Oddie replied with the
following letter:
Carson City. Feb. &c, 1912.
To the Honorable
The Ways and Means Committee
Of the Assembly.
Gentlemen:

sideration, the request of the sub

of ascertaining if a reduction
could advantageously be made in

were made, they should of course
be thorough and impartial and

DEAN WOODS ESCAPES
Nearly Drowned While Trying to
Find Body Of Boy in School Farm
Swimming Pool.
ROLLED OFF SLIPPERY LOG

St. Paul, July 27.-Dean Albert F.
Woods of the state agricultural col
lege had q narrow escape from
drowning late Thursday afternoon
while attempting to save the life of
Arthur Johnson, fifteen years old,
1929 Van Buren, street, st. Paul, who
Was drowned in a swimming pool in
lagoon just west Of the state fair
grounds.
Young Johnson was in swimming
with two friends, and got beyond his
depth. He was unable to swim and
sank, dragging the other two boys
down with him. They finally broke
the death grip and swan to the
shore, where they waited around for
some time. They finally dressed and
went over to Raymond avenue. There
they met Dean Woods and DR.. W. L.
Boyd, veterinarian at the agricultur-
al college. They told them what had
happened and the four hurried back
to the lagoon. 49, f.
Dean Woods and DR.. Boyd got on
log and pushed out from shore, try
ing to find the body of the Johnson
boy, hoping to be able to revive him.
Suddenly the log rolled over, throw
ing both the dean and DR.. Boyd into
the lagoon.
The water was ten feet deep. Dean
Woods is unable to swim. He foun-
dered about and finally managed to
get hold of the log. He was then
towed to shore by the others. -
= The body of the Johnson bow was
later recovered by Clarence Carey,
formerly employed at the experiment
tai station of the college.
