Carson City daily appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1907-1930, 1916-03-23

1t is no doubt a AK 0 the patience of the reading public of Carson
cognizance OF the petty grievances that exist between those papers and
which have been given undue prominence the last few days, but so far
IS the Appeal is concerned the promise is made that with the explanation
that follows all matters that concern the affairs of this paper and the
Carson News will hereafter be dropped. And it would have been dropped
with last nights issue of the Appeal were it not for the reference of the
News this morning to the county printing, which, that paper claims, is
the cause Of the Appeals "soreheadedness'
To begin with the Appeal is not a bit sore We the fact that it lost
the county printing at the price il. received TO the work. But it is sore
Usher of the News that he too would not take the work a the
price that had BEEN paid in the past The embarrassing that the News
should have served as a lesson of that papers utter unrelabiity, but it
Appeal as deliberate lies" but the short and ugly word is always the
resort Of the coward when driven to bay, and it proves nothing.
Usher of the Appeal. who a sna.~t+.e had the contract for the county
printing went to the Office Of the News on w occasions and stated
fighting for a long time over the county printing and that as Ormsby
oneLhalf of what the smallest counties isthe state Mineral and Douglas)
YER paying, that if he would refrain from putting in a bid when the call
work could then be given III as a merchant gives ut his work and the
regular commercial price paid for it, and the county commissioners could
to this and there the matter dropped for the time being.
But when the commissioners met in January, instead of advertising
for bids, as the law requires, they summoned the News man into their
presence by telephone and asked him if he would take the printing at
the price which a paid the Appeal last year, to which he replied yes"
if given the contract for a year, and there the matter ended SO far as
the Appeal a concerned and would never have been resurrecte had
it not been for the News insinuation this morning.
1t is not likely that the Appeal would have been benfitted by any
increase in the county printing rate, for the word had gone forth, and
the Appeal knew it, that this paper a to be disciplined" for the
wrheup it gave Health Officer Gree, who eem to have a sort ot
magnetic hold on the board, when he refused last summer ITO wait o n a
rooms on Carson street, and for the further fact that the Appeal refused
to suppress the circumstances OF TIT arrest Of Joe Rochon, CHAIRMAN o
the Board of County commissioners, for selling liquor to the Indians
And in this connection, these two gentlemen, with possibly the other
members of the board of commissioners, are the Democrats who have
no use for the Appeal, as stated by the News
The foregoing is the absolute truth in regard to the county print
ing matter and the Appeal is neither sore o financially hurt by reason
of losing it, nor is it ashamed of or attempting to hide anything it has
done.
1t was the hope of a few, perhaps, that with the loss of the county
printing the present manager of the Appeal would acquire such a
crouch that he would be inpeIIed to throw up his lease O the paper
and with his carpet bag" depart for pastures new, but that hope will be
dspeled when it is stated that a few days ago a new lease vas signed
up by which the writer will control the Appeals deshnies for the next
three years. And the promise is given that with the growth of Carson,
which is inevitable, the Appeal will keep apace and give all public new
to its subscribers, 10 matter whom it concerns, and his policy will not
be weakened by any threat to take away work.
