Governor Boyle On Bill.
Governor Boyle, when interviewed
today regarding the passage of the
Pittman bill in the United States sen
ate yesterday granting 100000 acres
Of land to the state of Nevada fol-
educational purposes, had the follow
ing to say:
"The Pittman bill, which provides
for the granting to Nevada of 1000, OOC
acres OF land for educational purposes
has passed the senate and is. now be
fore the house OF representatives.
THE fact that nine-tenths of the
land within our borders is held by the
national government and is not tax,
able to maintain our state and local
governments; that other western
states have received from 6 to Ii pei
cent respectively of their total area
in land grants, while Nevada has re,
ceived but 3 per cent. and that Ne
vada Is today expanding as much pei
capita for education alone as many
states, on the same basis, expend to
maintain their entire government, es
tablish the basis for a just demand
on our part for favorable action on
this bill.
If the measure Is defeated 1t will
be because eastern congressman un
familiar with our needs and our prob
lens withhold their support, and Ne
vadans who have personal acquaint
ance with eastern representatives arr
urged to write them asking for fai
consideration in the matter.
The governors office will gladl,
supply statistics in support of oul
contentious to anyone who will make
the suggested use of them"
