Assembly in Session
And Doing Business
Several Splits Come up in the
House. Lots of Argument
and Little Action

The Assembly met this morning
and while it did transact some busi-
ness the best part OF the morning was
taken up in the discussion OF the varl-
Gus matters that came up. As was
expected, the movement to continue
the fight on the Publicity Commission
matter, was soon in sight.
. 1t was finally moved to reconsider
the bill of yesterday and the motion
prevailed. as few voted against it, be-
lieving that another vote could be
had. A general stalling for time again
took place, which finally came to an
other vote on taking the bill from the
bottom Of the file under the suspen-
sion OF the rules. The vote showed
% to % in favor. Not having two
thirds majority the measure remains
on the bottom of the file and Will be
taken up for another thre sh1ng out.
Then another feature developed. A
resolution was introduced asking tor
the appointment OF another lnvestlga-
ton committee to go over the state
Offices and see where the pruning
shears could be handled to advantage.
1t was opposed from the members
from the fact that there is at present
such committee with full power tc
do all such business. Considerable
oratorv flowed concerning the moves
The statement made by Mr.. Har-
rington, of the present investigating
committee that the report would be
in next week and he believed that u
would cover all the ground that was
necessary. Upon his presentation or
the question the new resolution was
voted down by a decided majority.

A Farmers Objection
To q Senate Bill
Explains a Situation That Looks
Queer to the Reclamation
Projectors

The following communication
which takes up very important
question before the Legislature deals
in terms that sounds convincing. The
writer is one Of the developers OF Ne
vada and also one of the best known
farmers. His first objection to Sen
ate Bill No, 90 rings with reason:
''As may be inferred from Sections
| and ? the bill asserts that the water
of all sources and water supply with
in the boundaries of the state, wheth-
er above or beneath the surface OF
the ground belongs to the public anG
that all such water may be appropri-
ated only as provided III the Act and
not otherwise.
Il recognize that it is entirely meet
and proper for the state TO assume
jurisdiction and control over an open
tangible stream; such is gift OF God
to mankind and it is we'll for the state
vent monopoly and abuse. But | can
not subscribe to the theory that an
unknown and unseen thing can belong
to anyone except to the one who
makes an effort to find it, especially
on his own premises.

the meaning and intent OF the bill, il
that be the case. tender my apology.
but ii my understanding of it is cor
rect. then the clause requiring one,
who would explore and try TO develop
a subetcrrahean wafer supply on his
own premises. to file an application
and pay certain fee therefor should,
in my opinion, be amended to apply
only to an open. natural and tangible
stream.

cannot produce poll tax receipt can

from the voters but it won't work

and a test case taken up to the Su-

are not paying in the same proper
ton to the corporations.
The showing made the past few
days in the Assembly is so apparent
that party lines are eliminated Tho
two parties are not i'll unslon III their
own ranks. There was too much in
dependence shown at the real cleo
ton and too many delegations were
selected without party lines i'll sight.

minority is split on this question.

MINT FIGHT
RENEWED
IN SENATE
NeWlandS and Pittman
Win a Point

The fight to retain the Carson mint
continues in the Senate at Washing
ton. Senators Newlands and Pittman
are evidently doing all that is posi-
bic to retain the mint, and also telling
the other Senators some interesting
truths. From the special dispatch to
the Appeal which follows, it will be
seen that the Carson mint has not yet
been absolutely placed on safe ground
and that it will require the best kind
of work among all the Western Sena-
tors to keep the assay Offices and the
mints in their districts:

{ Special to Appeal

WASHINTON, Feb. 2S-Sen-
ator Newlands to-day made a
general onslaught on the confcres
report which approved the House
provision for the winding up Of
affairs OF the Carson Mint at the
end of the fiscal year in July.
Senator Newlands contended that
the assay Offices OF the Western
and mineral states was just as
important to the progress OF de
velopment and assistance to the
great mining sections as were the
Agricultural Experiment Stations
as sustained and maintained by
the Government.
He contended that there
should be no difference made be-
tween the farmers and the miners
as class Of state des elopers.
The Senator demanded the reten-
ton of the minis in the West and
in Carson in particular

part in the discussion, and with

an uncertain proposition as to devel3
op q subterranean water supply is
hard enough without being subjected
to other costs and red tape.
la my opinion, such provisions in
the proposed law would have ten
dency to hinder and retard develop
ment instead of to promote and &C.
celerate it. Who would undertake to
develop such a system OF water sup.
ply if. should it prove successful, tho
state, through the State Engineer is
to step in and say to the party: this
water belongs to the public and if you
want to use it you should first appro
pirate it and conform yourself to tha
prescriptions of the law. otherwise
you cannot use it.
Such a thing seems preposterous to

Another thing | would like to
