v A PRESS COMMENT
The Lesson of The Session

Reno Gazette: 1t is estimated that
the appropriations made by the Leg
islature that adjourned at TBS
o'clock this morning will aggregate
a million and a half dollars. Look
ing over the list of items. it is diff
cult to place ones finger on any par
ticular n and say, There. that's
extravaganza" but the Legislature
nevertheless, simply did not pay any
more attention to economy than its
predecessors have paid to it.
A million and a half dollars is too
much-altogether too much-for a
State of 100, 600 inhabitants, many OF
them Indians and not taxed, to ex-
pend for maintaining its govern
ment. As former Governor Oddie
pointed out repeatedly, and as the
present Governor emphaized in his
first message to the Legislature, il
costs the individual taxpayer far be-
yond what it ought to. The tax
commission is put to all sorts of shifts
to find money for maintaining the
State and yet reduce the tax burden
as much as possible.
What's the answer? A commits
sion form of government. We have
no more officials. to be sure, than the
State government on the old lines
is expected to have, although one
third of them, roughly speaking,
have scarcely anything to do. We
have departments of State govern
ment that are neither useful nor
ornamental and which are saddled
upon the people simply because
great States with 20 times the popu-
lation of Nevada, need them and
have them.
Ofice-holders may continue fol
four years more to prevent the PEG.
pie from reducing expenses and in
creasing efficiency at Carson City
but the present conditions cannot
last forever-certainly not in the
face of appropriations for a million
and a half dollars in a State where
perhaps less than rs. 1000 persons have
to meet the bills.

The American. Adams. Southern
and Wells Fargo Express Companies
have asked leave of the Interstate
Commerce Commission to file a petit
ton for rehearing of the express
rates. They declared that the low
rates prescribed by the commission
had been disastrous" The petition
asserts that the first 10months under
the new rates brought a deficit to
the four companies of nearly So, OOO,-
900.

Two Measures Vetoed

Governor Boyle has vetoed the bills
appropriating $4,000 for the Elko
County experiment farm and $4,000
for identifying the grounds about
the capitol building at Carson. The
reason for his action on the local
measure was that it was not neces-
sary, sufficient funds having been
provided for it in the general ap-
preparation act. That the appropri-
alton of $4,000 for the Elko farm
would meet the Governors disap-
proval was the opinion of many.

an oil test, but the gas pressure was
so heavy that the original plans have
been abandoned.
