Recommending immediate payment of adjusted service certificates of sailors and soldiers of world war |
[Assembly Joint Resolution No. 2Mr. Persson]
No. 4Assembly Joint Resolution, relative to memorializing Congress to enact proposed legislation directing immediate payment of the adjusted service certificates of sailors and soldiers of the world war.
[Approved February 8, 1935]
Whereas, A period of depression exists in the State of Nevada, throughout the United States, and the world; and Whereas, The immediate cash payment of the adjusted service certificates of the sailors and soldiers of the world war, some of whom are in dire need owing to the present economic conditions, will alleviate suffering, and increase tremendously the purchasing power of millions of the consuming public, distributed uniformly throughout the nation, and lighten immeasurably the burden which states, counties, and cities are now required to carry for relief; and Whereas, The payment of such certificates will not create any additional debt, but will discharge and retire an acknowledged contract obligation of the government; and |

[Approved February 16, 1935]

Memorializing Congress for relief in matter of grazing fees |
[Assembly Joint Resolution No. 9Mr. Persson]
No. 8Assembly Joint Resolution, memorializing Congress and the secretary of agriculture of the United States for relief in the matter of grazing fees for livestock upon the national forests.
[Approved February 27, 1935]
Whereas, The existing schedule of grazing-fee charges exacted for use by Nevada stockraising settlers of those public ranges upon which their properties necessarily were and still are established, and which have, from time to time, been surrounded by the so-called national forest withdrawals, are based upon range appraisals covering periods of abnormally high livestock prices; and |
κ1935 Statutes of Nevada, Page 421 (NUMBER 8, AJR 9)κ
|
Whereas, The continuance of such charge schedules, in the face of existing livestock values far below any known for many years past, can only most seriously impede and retard any reasonable opportunity for recovery and rehabilitation of Nevadas stockraising and ranching settlements, a most important factor in the social and economic structure of our state; now, therefore, be it Resolved by the Assembly and the Senate of the State of Nevada, That we most earnestly urge upon all federal officials concerned the extreme need for continuance, for the grazing season of 1935, of the fifty percent reduction in national forest grazing-fee charges as granted for 1932, based upon the charges in effect for 1931; and be it further Resolved, That we urge our Nevada congressional delegation to use every effort toward securing an early and complete range reappraisal, looking to the fixing of forest grazing-fee schedules in keeping with the heavy decline in livestock values that has occurred since the present schedules were determined; and be it further Resolved, That the secretary of state of the State of Nevada be and he is hereby directed to immediately forward copies of this resolution to the president of the United States, to the speaker of the house of representatives, to each of our senators, and to our representative in Congress. |

[Assembly Joint Resolution No. 4Committee on Labor]
No. 9Assembly Joint Resolution, to the honorable the president of the United States relative to the policy of establishing a reasonable and equitable preferential basis in connection with certain contracts and works in favor of Nevada contractors, Nevada materials, and Nevada labor.
[Approved February 27, 1935]
To the Honorable the President of the United States: Whereas, The thirty-seventh legislature of the State of Nevada, in regular session, represents: The State of Nevada, in common with every state in the union, is confronted with the important task of providing employment for its citizens. Funds are appropriated from time to time by the Congress of the United States for the construction of federal public buildings and the construction of national forest, national park and national monument highways within the State of Nevada, upon which considerable numbers of men are employed. Many of the contracts for such works are let to contractors located outside of Nevada, who usually, if not invariably, import into the state the labor required for their construction. |

construction. The employment of needy citizens of this state on such work would in some measure alleviate the serious unemployment situation in Nevada; would be a just policy, in that it would avoid adding to Nevadas duties in the matter of police protection and the legal rights of persons permanently or temporarily residing within its borders; would be a justifiable policy from an economic standpoint; since it would obviate the expense of transporting employees from other parts of the United States; and would work no injustice to any community; and Whereas, The federal law, being section 6 of An act to provide that the United States shall aid the states in the construction of rural post roads and other purposes, approved July 11, 1916, reads, in part, as follows: That in the expenditure of this fund for labor, preference shall be given, other conditions being equal, to honorably discharged soldiers, sailors and marines, but any other preference or discrimination among citizens of the United States in connection with the expenditure of this appropriation is hereby declared to be unlawful; and Whereas, It is advisable for the better carrying out of the intent and purpose of the said law to restrict this preference to the citizens of the state in which said work is being performed; and Whereas, Said section 6 should be amended to give preference to the citizens of the state in which any of the work under the said act is being performed; now, therefore, be it Resolved by the Assembly and Senate of the State of Nevada, That departments of the United States government having under their charge and control the awarding of contracts for the construction of public works within the state, or the supervision of such works, if any, by force account, pursue the policy of establishing a reasonable and equitable preferential basis in connection with such contracts and works in favor of Nevada contractors, Nevada materials, and, in particular, of Nevada labor, and that the good offices of the president of the United States be exerted to this end; be it further Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted forthwith by the secretary of the State of Nevada to the president of the United States senate, to the speaker of the house of representatives, to our senators and representative in Congress, and to the chief of the bureau of public roads, and a copy, under the great seal of the State of Nevada, to the president of the United States. |

[Senate Joint Resolution No. 1Senator Branson]
No. 10Senate Joint Resolution, memorializing Congress to not repeal long- and short-haul clause.
[Approved February 27, 1935]
To the Congress of the United States: Your memorialist, the legislature of the State of Nevada, hereby respectfully represents; that Whereas, The measure before your honorable bodies for repeal of the long- and short-haul clause of the interstate commerce act, if adopted and it were possible of enforcement in the spirit that it is intended, would be a public disaster, no more to the business and economic interests of the intermountain states of the great west, than to the railway lines themselves, which are sponsoring this ill-advised legislation; and Whereas, Each year the manufacturers of freight-carrying motor vehicles are enlarging the carrying capacities of their units and fleets, and immensely broadening their range; and Whereas, The railroad managements are cognizant of these facts, or ought to be, and are striving at the same time to tighten their hold upon us by placing truck haulage under the jurisdiction of the interstate commerce commission, subjecting it to rules and practices inimical to the public welfare; and Whereas, Were it possible for the railroads to unite and accomplish this double purpose, it would be an absurdity to permit, expect, or require the truck operators to adopt a back-haul rate and practice in the delivery of intermountain freight, similar to what the railroads propose to appropriate to themselves, or to participate in their pretensions of justification therefor; and Whereas, On the contrary, it would have the effect of causing widespread retaliation, both through state legislation and business dealings with shippers, by encouraging motor haulage here and everywhere, and be the worst calamity that could happen to the railroads; and Whereas, For more than two years the railroads and their backers in Congress have carried on a vigorous campaign of propaganda, telling their employees and the public that collecting from the public under the name of a back-haul for a service not rendered, but if rendered would be a disservice, would have the effect of stimulating railroad employment, which propaganda is false and vicious, to the great disadvantage of employees more than any other class; and Whereas, In previous times when the back-haul practice was in operation, the Southern Pacific company, alone in its latitude and area, absorbed the whole of the added revenue extracted from the public accruing from the back-haul, sharing no part of it with connecting lines, which fact refutes and answers the argument of its general need by the railroads or its stimulating employment; now therefore, be it

latitude and area, absorbed the whole of the added revenue extracted from the public accruing from the back-haul, sharing no part of it with connecting lines, which fact refutes and answers the argument of its general need by the railroads or its stimulating employment; now therefore, be it Resolved, That the legislature of the State of Nevada hereby respectfully requests the Congress to defeat this and all measures now or hereafter before it, designed to repeal or nullify the long- and short-haul clause of the interstate commerce law, and further, to commit itself to a permanent policy of retaining and strengthening said long- and short-haul clause against future agitation for its repeal. Resolved, That copies of this memorial be forwarded to the members of the Nevada delegation in Congress, and to members of the Utah and Idaho delegations, by the secretary of state of the State of Nevada. |

[Approved March 7, 1935]
Whereas, The influx of thousands of people with their families was brought about through the construction of the Boulder dam, near Las Vegas, in Clark County, Nevada, with a great increase in the number of children of school age; and Whereas, The school population of the high school at Las Vegas, which in normal times have a total enrollment of 285 students; and Whereas, The accommodation of students in the Las Vegas schools from Boulder City increased this normal school enrollment to more than 600; and Whereas, Boulder City is situated approximately twenty-six miles from the Las Vegas schools, making it necessary that transportation should be provided for the children living at Boulder City and attending the Las Vegas school, which cost of transportation is at the rate of fifty-five ($55) dollars per day; and Whereas, The school funds in this district have been depleted to the extent that, on and after the first day of March, teachers will be unable to draw their pay; and |

Whereas, This condition of affairs has been brought about by the honest efforts, and the requirements of the law in the State of Nevada, to properly educate the young in this state, by reason of which efforts the children of Boulder City were accorded the same opportunities as those normally resident of said district; and Whereas, Unless relief can be obtained from the federal government to alleviate this condition, it will be equivalent to penalizing the parents and students of Clark County for conditions that have been brought about by being fair to the federal government; now, therefore, be it Resolved by the Assembly and Senate of the State of Nevada, That the Hon. Harry L. Hopkins, federal emergency relief administrator, be petitioned to provide relief in the sum of twenty-seven thousand ($27,000) dollars to the Clark County school board, Clark County, State of Nevada, for the purpose of maintaining their schools which have been reduced to bankruptcy in taking care of the students from Boulder City; and be it further Resolved, That duly certified copies of this resolution be transmitted by the secretary of state of the State of Nevada to the Hon. Harry L. Hopkins, federal emergency relief administrator, at Washington, D. C., to each of our senators in the United States senate, and to our representative in Congress, with the request that provisions be made immediately for the financing of said school district, to the end that teachers shall be justly compensated for their services. |

[Senate Joint Resolution No. 6Senator Branson]
No. 24Senate Joint Resolution, urging Congress to enact a federal train-limit law.
To the Congress of the United States: Your memorialist, the legislature of the State of Nevada, hereby respectfully represents that Whereas, The legislature of the State of Nevada has enacted a bill limiting the length of freight trains operated within the state to a length of seventy cars, and there are pending before several state legislatures measures of identical or similar import, with indications that most of them will soon be adopted; and Whereas, There are several bills before Congress with practically identical provisions, except that they are national in scope, being applicable to interstate commerce throughout the nation without exception or exemption; and Whereas, The purpose of all such bills is to promote the safety of employees and the traveling public; and Whereas, The consideration of such bills in state legislatures occasions a great deal of acrimony and recrimination, arising from threats of the railroad companies to remove their shops from states enacting such bills, and other threats of litigation, accompanied by costs that would be prohibitive; and Whereas, For these reasons it would be infinitely better to have a federal law limiting freight trains engaged in interstate commerce to seventy cars, thus forestalling the removal of shops from one state to another, and silencing all threats of litigation; and Whereas, It would be far more economical and satisfactory to the railroads to have such an interstate law, through the operation of which they would run their trains from state to state without interference, without switching and breaking them up, for the mere purpose of complying with varying laws which might be vastly different and inconsistent with each other within a space of a few miles; and Whereas, By the early passage of a national train-limit law a long step would be taken in the desirable direction of uniform legislation upon a subject where it is truly essential; now, therefore, be it Resolved by the Senate and Assembly of the State of Nevada, That the Congress be most earnestly urged and beseeched to enact a bill at its earliest convenience, limiting the length of freight trains engaged in interstate commerce to seventy cars, and that such law be fashioned after the laws of Arizona and Nevada. Resolved, That the secretary of state of the State of Nevada be and hereby is directed to forward a certified copy of this memorial to each member of the Nevada delegation at Washington. |

[Senate Concurrent Resolution No. 7Senator Tobin]
No. 28Senate Concurrent Resolution, relative to acknowledging the sermon of Rev. Brewster Adams, as the same appeared in the Nevada State Journal March 10, 1935.
Whereas, The Rev. Brewster Adams, of Reno, Nevada, has seen fit to have published in the press an article that should properly be designated as a philosophical dissertation on the conduct of human beings under unusual and distressing circumstances; and Whereas, He has in such article, figuratively speaking, held us up by the scruff of our necks and smote our public seats with great efficacy, but at the same time with such words of kindness and compassion that our sorrow for his grief at being forced to chastise us makes us forget our own suffering in comparison; and Whereas, We are fully aware that Rev. Adams has only partially concealed the great love he has for all those stricken by woe, in this great moral lesson that offers, even unto legislators, a hope for salvation; and Whereas, We recognize in the article that subtle humor tempered with christian kindness possessed so markedly by him; and Whereas, We feel that the spirit of Rev. Adams as expressed in said article justifies a proper acknowledgment by this body; now, therefore, be it Resolved by the Senate and the Assembly of the State of Nevada, That it is the sense of this body that in the article referred to above, the Reverend Adams sensed a thought of human philosophy based upon a spirit of mutual kindness that has endeared him, deeper than before, to every friend of man; and be it further Resolved, That the members of this body offer to Rev. Adams the hope that he may live long and happily with those whom God has given to his care, and continue to radiate hope and happiness to the troubled; and be it further Resolved, That properly certified copy of these resolutions be transmitted to Reverend Adams. |

president in this respect that restrictions or regulations concerned with the disposal of said seigniorage may be subject to any or all of the following provisions: (1) That any miner of silver to whom said seigniorage charge is returned shall expend the entire amount of same for new employment wages, as follows: (a) The payment of wages to men employed on new underground development work. (b) The payment of wages for renovation and construction of plants and installation of equipment undertaken subsequent to the promulgation of the presidents order. (2) That any producer of silver to whom the seigniorage charge is returned (in addition to the amount of the seigniorage to be spent for new employment wages as outlined above) shall expend an amount equivalent to at least 50% of the amount of said seigniorage for labor, materials, equipment, power and other ordinary expenses required in connection with said new development work, plant renovation and construction, and equipment installations undertaken and carried on subsequent to the effective date of the presidents order; and be it further Resolved, That the president of the United States is urgently requested to give to this resolution his best consideration; and be it further Resolved, That copies of this resolution, with the request that it be adopted in substance by the other silver-producing states, be sent to the governors thereof, with the request that in all those states in which the legislature is now or may soon convene, that the governor submit these resolutions to such legislatures for appropriate concurrent action thereon, and in all other cases the governor is requested to express to the president of the United States such representation regarding the matter as may be proper and within the authority of such governor; and be it further Resolved, That properly certified copies of this resolution be sent to each of our senators in the United States senate and to our representative in Congress, with the request that they and each of them use all honorable means to make such representation to the president of the United States as will tend to be in keeping with the desires expressed in this resolution. |

No. 43Assembly Joint Resolution, memorializing Congress for the creation of a separate railway mail district to be located in the federal building at Reno, Nevada.
[Approved March 28, 1935]
Whereas, The State of Nevada is situated with high Sierra Nevada mountains to the west, which effectually cut off transportation from all except one or two points, and even these are cut off completely during a considerable portion of the year when deep snow makes highways impassable. Only two railways cross this chain of mountains toward the west; and Whereas, To the east it is approximately 550 miles to the Utah line. The state extends north and south-or perhaps it would be better to say from the northwest to the southeast-a distance of approximately 650 miles; and Whereas, Practically this entire territory is isolated from all parts of the United States; and we must depend for our economic and industrial existence almost entirely upon ourselves. Transportation in this immense district becomes very much of a problem, and, we believe, cannot be adequately handled by persons residing from 300 to 600 miles distant; and Whereas, We citizens of Nevada believe we are not receiving our full share of service or monetary benefits due us by reason of supervision of the railway mail service being located at such great distances away. We believe we should have a supervisory force of the railway mail service located in this state; and Whereas, Under the existing conditions the transportation of mails in Nevada is under the supervision of the chief clerk, district No. 3, located at San Francisco; and the chief clerk, district No. 1, Ogden, Utah. It has been the custom in the past of domiciling practically 90% of Nevada appointees in the railway mail service at terminals, either in California or Utah, adjacent to their headquarters, for convenience and administrative purposes. Such practice results in appointees from Nevada losing their Nevada citizenship and becoming citizens of an alien state, their incomes, estimated at from $35,000 to $45,000 per annum, naturally being spent where they live instead of in their appointive state. Of a total of about 30 clerks and substitutes appointed from Nevada, only 6 clerks and 1 substitute are now domiciled within the geographical borders of this state. All other appointees, although working and earning their living in Nevada, are citizens of neighboring states. It is our opinion that this great territory of Nevada is sufficient for the creation of a separate railway mail district, under the supervision of a chief clerk, with office and personnel to be located in the federal building at Reno; now, therefore, be it
