CARSON CITY ACTIVITIES
Faflon Gets the State Fair This Year
and Will be the Permanent Lo-
cation in the Future.

Late legislative matters consider
ed at Carson City, involving local
interest more than others have to do
with the projected removal of the
state fair from Reno to Fallon, COM
meneing with the season of 1915
and the passage, in the assembly
without dissenting vote. of the
joint concurrent resolution of 1913,
which will provide for the voting
upon an amendment by the people of
Nevada, to the state constitution, al
lowing the loaning of school moneys
of the state upon farm mortgages.
This resolution probaly concerns the
most important departure ever con-
tempiated in the state so far as the
farmers is con cerned, and is line
with what has been done in other
state for many years. Senator
Keddie has the honor of fathering
the bill, that enacted into law, will
bring the state fair to Fallon from
its present location in the city OF
Reno. 1t is argued that Fallon is
centrally located and that it is the
states most promising agricultural
district with future greatness GER
tain.
The bill providing for the re-
moval of the safe fair from Reno
to Fallon passed the senate Monday
by vote of 20 to two. 1t is now
believed that this proposal will have
easy sailing and that Fallon will be
accorded the honor of holding the
states annual agricultural fair, to-
gether with the benefits attaching
thereto. There still remains the
matter of securing an ample appro-i
priation for the fairs maintenance.
In times past it has been usual for
the state to appropriate the sum of
$4,000 annually for this purpose,
which has generally been regarded
an inadequate sum.
Should the joint concurrent reso-
luton empowering farm mortgage
loans be passed by the upper house
the question will then be referred
to the people for a vote next gen
eral election.
