STATE OF NEVADA
Executive Department

CARSON CITY, March 81. 1913.
To the Honorable, the Secretary OF
State:
! herewith deposit with you, without
my approval, Substitute for Assembly
Bill No. 81, entitled An Act 70 pro-
vide for the construction OF a public
highway and making an appropriation
therefor
In submitting my objections to this
bill | shall include. also. Senate Bill
No. 157, entitled AN Act providing
for a public highway aud making an
appropriation therefor" and Assem-
bly, Bill No. 2S4, entitled An Act to
provide for the construction of the
Nevada State Highway in the Coun-
ties of Esmeralda. Eureka, Lander.
Churchill. White Pine and Nye. and
other matters relating thereto, and
making an appropriation therefor;
each Of which makes an appropria
ton from the State Treasury to con-
struct public roads in certain coun-
ties. and each OF which | have. for
reasons hereinafter stated, this day
deposited with you without my ap-
proval.
Assembly Bill o.. herewith deposit
ed carries an appropriation OF SIS 900;
Senate Bill No. l57. referred to. car
ries an appropriation OF $4,000; and
Assembly Bill No. 2S4 an appropria
ton of $4,000; aggregaring 100000
from the State Treasury for highway
construction.
The Legislature made no specific
increase in the state tax rate to meet
this proposed outlay: nor are the
finances OF the state in such favorable
condition as TO be able 10 meet this
unu usual disbursement without Great
ing an embarrassing deficit. While
this is presented as a more or less
decisive reason for Disappearing
these bills. there are certain other OBJ
iections which appear to me as wor-
thy of special discussion
It is obvious tina. whenever money
is expended by the state in road con
,truction must be contributed by the
taxpayers OF the several counties. If
the state expends 100000 in road con-
struc;ion. unless it is divided in the
approximate ratio of each county
taxable property. any county which
gets less than its pro rata. OF no parF
thereof in contributing to road CON
s.ruction in other counties rom
which it derives no direct boneht. On
the other hand. any county which gets
J more than its pro rata thereof would
| be the beneficiary at the expense OF
the taxpayers OF the other counties.
| Under the provisions OF the three
( bills mentioned, appropriations are

1T is obvious that the counties

In compliance with the FOREGOING
recommendation. Assembly Bill No.

: lature and was approved on March
/ Doth Under its provisions any coun-
ty in the state can undertake as much
or little road work as its taxpayers
are willing to perform, either by di-
rect tax or by issuing county bonds

counties desiring TO issue bonds for
road Improvement would likely find
the state ready and willing 70 take
| them: the interest practically being
returned to the counties in support Of
| the public schools. Thus, under the
toned, a complete modus operandi
for counties to undertake the i'm
provement of their roads and high
ways is at hand
While, under the provisions of the
three bills under discussion. the 500

! cost of good roads, is utterly INSULT
cient. and without being supple
mented by county appropriations
from five to ten times greater. would
in effect be wasted
In conclusion, one additional rea-
| son seems to me to weigh again t
state aid for public roads in this state.

exclusively by the several counties
Once such precedent is established

point of view. Farm folks
like to do their trading in
where there's "some-
thing going on" to vary the
monotony after the shopping
is done. When the busy
week is ended the young
folks like to drive in and see
the movies watch an out
door game or attend a home
talent production. 1t will
be more important to en-
courage amusements when
we have sharp competition
all around us, as we are sure
to have before so very long.
People will drive a little
farther to trade in a town
that affords an opportunity
to attend clean entertain
ments. So let us give en-
couragement to the movies,
to the home entertainments
and to all forms of amuse-
ment that will attract good
people to our town., from
within and outside our logic
al territory. That's what
makes a town get ahead and
stay ahead of ambitious rival
towns.

One does not have to be a
Roosevelt worshipper to feel
pleased over his recent court
victory, It's a good thing
to discourage the rash Ameri-
can habit of trying to make
a thief, a scoundrel or a
drunkard out of a man just
because you happen not to
like him or diagree with his
political convictions. Fact is,
few men who have reached
the eminence that Roosevelt
has attained are men who
drink to excess, despite the
silly notion held by some
that it produces a sort of
special inspiration" Roose-
welt may be rash and radical
and crazy with desire to rule,
but his personal life and con-
duct seem to be above re-
proach.

There are microbes that are

the breath OF rank, malarial dews. II

what the church needs most to fear,
Is not the outside sin, but spsneless,

which blocks and trips the church,
