The silver state. [volume] (Winnemucca, Nev.) 1909-1925, 1922-08-10
SOME EARLY LAWS
MADE IN NEVADA

The first bill introduced in the
first session of the legislature of
the state of Nevada was one for
the relief of the Virginia City fire
department providing for the sum
of $4,000 for the purchase of house
and well-gates.
The tax rate in Douglas county
in 1864, as approved by the legis-
lature was $1.75 per hundred.
In 1865 law was made by the
legislature that no Indian or Chinese
should be allowed to give evidence
in favor of or against white per-
son, and the credibility of any
negro, black or mulatto person shall
be left entirely with the jury.
Evidently the whites believed in
protecting themselves.
Negroes, Mongolians and Indians
were not allowed to attend the
public schools of Nevada under a
law passed in 1865.
1t cost $3,416.77 to telegraph the
constitution in Nevada from Car
son City to Washington in 1865.
Nevada passed a bill in 1865
setting aside a sum of 100000
for the purpose of paying a COM
pensation to the soldiers of the COM
panies of Nevada volunteers for the
service of the United States in adj
dition to the pay allowed them by
the government.
The first warden of the Nevada
state prison was compelled by law
to furnish every inmate of the
prison with bible. No record was
kept of the conversions.
In civil war days every teacher
in Nevada's public schools had to
take the oath of loyalty before
allowed to teach.
In 1861 in the territory of Ne
vada it was against the law to keep
open any playhouse, theatre, race
track, cock pit, or play at any
games of chance for gain, or engege
in any noisy amusement on the first
day Of the week called the Lords
day.
On November 81, 1861, D. D..
Kingsbury and James NJ. McDon-
aid were granted the right and
privilege of maintaining toll road
on what is now know as the Kings
bury grade, the road commencing
about half mile south of Van
Sycles' ranch and hotel and running
thence to the eastern boundry line
OF the state of California. The
rates of toll were:
Wagon and one span of horses,
or one yoke of cattle. 50.
Each additional animal, % cents.
Empty wagons returning, half
price.
Buggy and two horses. So.
Buggy and one horse. $3.50.
Man on horseback, so cents.
Each pack animal, both ways
90 cents.
Loose animals, 1919 cents.
In December, 1861, the territorial
Legislature changed the name of
Calvin Smith, of Virginia City, Ne
vada, to that of Calvin Smith Bah

WHICH ELEMENT IS
To BE ELECTED /?
(From Elko independently

As commented upon with some
frequency by this paper in the i'm
mediate past it is evident that the
liberal element will make a de-
termined effort to control the cleo
ton of certain officers this year.
In fact well defined rumors to the
effect that the liberals (which is the
apt term as applied to the old-line
"wets' during prohibition times)
had already made up their slate,
had gained circulation, and the
names of certain candidates were
mentioned as having the liberal en-
dorsement in this city as early as
last Saturday. Judging from the
strength of the rumors considerable
influence of a liberal character will
be brought to bear in order to seat
those candidates whose sympathies
are known to lean in that direction.
With such condition facing the
people the press of the county
would indeed be lax in its duties
to the public were it to refrain
from commenting upon the exact
bearing of liberal influences this
year under conditions made diamet-
really different from former cleo
tons by the institution of a new
order of things so far as the law
is concerned. Such a comment must
be of a safe and sane character
not calculated to influence the pub
lie mind against what might be
termed effontery, but rather so
indicated as to disclose to the voter
the fact that he would be acting
directly against his status as an up
right and law abiding citizen were
he to accord his endorsement to any
such political campaign.
The Rathdrum tribune. (Rathdrum, Idaho) 1903-1963, 1922-04-14

We must iron out each small difficulty
as it arises.
Above all we must endeavor to un-
derstand each other. Every traveller
can help. 1t is a process which can
never be completed. No one can
prophesy when or where a subject of
disagreement may arise; but whatever
1t may be, a clear understanding of the
question is bound to reveal the fact
that our interests and purposes are
not fundamentally divergent" And
Mr.. Eagles avowed purpose in his
book is to bring his fellow Americans
to see and understand the rest of the
English-speaking cousins across the
water and across the line as he came
to in his travels and study and init
mate associations with them. 1t is a
book l should like to see in every
school library in the land.

"The last the best of all the game"
THAT is what we used to say when
we were children. 1t is true of the
sour short stories in Henry Wallace
phillips' book RED Sanders"*, tales of
O fine. big, red-headed cowboy of this
northwest country, written twenty
wears ago but just as breezily anus
mo TODAY as when the ink was wet.
The first is a little tale of the time Of
Indian uprisings; the second tells how
Red engineered a love affair for a
nrettv girl; the third a gold find; and
fine fourth a wholesome, jolly story OF
the stir Red made in a New England
village, and how he got himself a
wife there. At various times I've
made up my mind to give that book
to one or another of my friends who
I think would enjoy it. But it is a book
TO pick up on a rainy day and read
again, so I've kept it.
Phillips is a York state" man, and
all his books I know of are OF the
same sort: "The Mascot of Sweet
briar Gulch," Red Saunders Pets
and Other Critters" plain Mary
Smith" and others.
