The Churchill county standard. (Fallon, Nev.) 1908-1920, 1913-01-15

the state legislature cOnVeneS IN
Carson on next Monday, the goth of
this month and plans are being. laid
Every county wants something
deemed germane to sectional inter-
ests and everything points to the ses-
sion going the constitutional limit.
Churchill county's delegation, COM
prising State Senator Thomas Dolf
and Assemblyman w c. Grimes,
Democrats, and J. w Ferguson, Re-
publican, are effeeting preparations
for an early departure for the state
capitol in order to be on the ground
early and sense the proposed legis
lation with which they will have TO
deal.
Our delegation fortunately, is
committed to rigid economy. All
being business men and highly rep
resentative of our best interests,
they are united in the desire for a
curtailment wherever possible of the
fixed expenses of the state and .coun-
ty, and are unequivocally committed
particularly to retrenchment plan
that will effect a material reduction
in the annual fixed expenditure CO.
incident with the conduct of Church
i'll county's government.
Non-Partisan Citizens Committee.
The local delegation is united in
a desire to work harmoniously with
the state committees from among
the substantial men of Nevada, who
are seeking under the leadership of
Senator Newlands, Hon. w. A. Mas
sey and Governor Oddie to bring
about a more efficient state govern
ment at a reduced cost. Rather
than raising tax valuations our dele
cation believes the logical method
that would result in a betterment of
state conditions, a result that is be-
ing so earnestly sought, can be
brought about by reduction of
state salaries and by the inculcation
of little more industry among the
state officers. The view is taken by
this county's delegation that the re-
trenchment plan for state affairs has
the backing of the substantial men
of Nevada.
The New State Banking Law.
The new state banking law, which
has already received a thorough
test by the states banking interests
has proven so wholly satisfactory
that it would be unwise in the opin-
ion of this county's solons to disturb
| it by amendments.
Quarantine Law.
The Churchill Legislators, like a
majority of those that will comprise
the next legislature, are anxious for
quarantine law that will be broad,
comprehensive and effective and
will vest in the states chief execu-
| tive the right to declare ban on
outside products at any time when
danger to the states industries
seems threatened. The great need
| for an effective quarantine law has
been made manifest times without
number and particularly during the
late months by the importation from
weevil infested districts in Utah of
alfalfa hay by contracting corpor
alton from the Mormon state. This
county, being leading farming ter
| ritory, is particularly interested in
quarantine law.
School Supervision.
Assemblyman w. G. Grimes viii
| seek to have a law passed that will
nullify the offices of deputy state
superintendents of public instrue-
| ton and re-invest the powers of
| these officials in the district attor-
neys of all counties not able to main
tain separate Office of county sup
erintendent of schools. In this pro-
| ject Mr.. Grimes will have the en-
dorsement of large number of cit
izens of the state. At the last leg
islature the deputy school superin-
tendents, led by their chief, John
Edwards Bray, the state superinten-
dent of schools, spent large
amount of their time when they
should have been looking after the
school affairs in the lobbies of the
state capitol, creating much unfav-
orable comment and there is a
growing suspicion that politics enter
| too largely into their respective Of
