Carson City daily appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1907-1930, 1914-10-23


ING Nevada are as much interested
in the passage of the NewiandS-
Broussard River regulation bill as
this state, and practically all OF their
civic bodies are working to the end
that Senator Newlands may be re-
turned to the United States senate
in order that he may subserve Their
interests as we'll as those OF Nevada
in the final disposition of the meas
ure, which will come up for hnal ac-
ton during the approaching session
of congress. California and other
states want the benefits accruing
from this measure, just as Neva la
does. and its civic bodies show no
disloyalty to their state nor ask too
much OF Nevada in suggesting. with
out regard to politics. that Senator
Newlands be returned to the senate.
A United States senator these days
belongs to the whole nation, not to
any particular state or locality, ana
one who goes to congress with the
narrow resolve in his mind to work
only for the section which he repre-
sents will receive no consideration
whatever nor should he be entitled
to any.
The River Regulation commissi on
of Stockton, Cal, is deeply interested
in the passage of the Newlands-
Broussard bill and with knowled re
that a good deal of opposition VIII
develop against it from eastern
sources and knowing that strong men
will be required to accomplish ITS
passage they have addressed the fol-
lowing communication to the citizens
Of Nevada:
To the People of the State Of Ne
yada: Our Fellow Citizens OF This
Great Nation.
Again it becomes the duty OF the
good people of your state to select
n representative to the senate oil the
United States.
At no time since the advent OF your
state into this Union, nor since
Washington was president OF the
United States has this country beea
confronted with problems so vital -
the welfare of our citizens in the con-
tinuance of their safety, peace and
prosperity, than confronts this na-
ton as this moment.
Fortunate, indeed, is our country
in having men who have proven, py
their craftsmanship, that a continual
ton OF our relationship with the
nations of the world shall be peace
full.
Nevada has been fortunate IN nav
ing for its representative in the up
per house of congress Senator Fran
els G. Newlands and the United
States has been equally fortunate N
having his ability and his broad
craftsmanship to aid in the delibera-
tions Of our most important leglsia-
tive conferences. Practically i'll all OF
the great measures enacted into law
in this country for many years past
Senator Francis c. Newlands' name
appears as aiding their passage.
No greater measure was ever OF
ferred, and there is none which is OF
more importance to our country, IN
securing it's internal developmer-,
than the River Regulation bill that
bears his name. This measure is un-
derstood and has been approved l'y
millions of our people and is being
earnestly studied by millions more;
is being advocated by thousands o.
organizations; has been approved by
MANY state legislatures and its prin-
ciples are being supported by the
foremost leaders of our country. The
principles Of this great measure VIII
surely be considered by the present
administration at the next session OF
congress. Practically every state IN
the Union will be benefited by the
application of the Newlands bill
should it be enacted into law. Inc
state of Nevada is justly and ade-
quately protected in conjunction with
the other states of the Pacific coast
Under that bill the rivers and streams
in the state OF Nevada, which are a
part of and tributary to the Snake
Columbia and Colorado rivers, will
receive their just treatment along
with all other rivers OF California,
Oregon, Washington, Colorado and
Arizona. Likewise the great rivers
Of the middle west, which, for COM
merce are favored and for devasta-
ton are feared, will receive just con-
sideration.
The people OF this nation will, in
