NUMBER 1, SJR 1

[Senate Joint Resolution No. 1–Senator Friedhoff]

 

No. 1–Senate Joint Resolution, memorializing the Congress of the United States to pass such legislation as will provide a fund to be loaned to organized and financially strong irrigation districts for the redemption of outstanding bonds and other indebtedness.

 

[Approved January 22, 1931]

 

      Whereas,There are a number of irrigation districts in our western states that have been organized and financed by the sale of bonds bearing a rate of six per cent or greater and maturing in not to exceed twenty years; and

      Whereas,Storage reservoirs, canals and ditches have been constructed, lands leveled and fenced and put into crops, homes built and settled by a hard working class of farmers and stockmen, and towns have been built with good schools, churches, stores and places of amusement and recreation for the use of said settlers; and

      Whereas,These settlers have never asked for or received any financial aid from the government, either as a loan or a donation; and

      Whereas,Under the present financial depression, not only in the United States, but over the entire world, the paying of such a high rate of interest and early maturity is a great burden on such settlers, and unless funds can be secured at a lower rate of interest and the time of payment extended will not only work a great hardship on said settlers, but will result in the loss and abandonment of a great number of homes and a great hardship on entire communities; now, therefore, be it

      Resolved by the Senate and Assembly of the State of Nevada, That the legislature of the State of Nevada hereby petition the Congress of the United States to immediately pass the Glenn bill as introduced in the United States senate and amended in the house of representatives of the United States and providing for the United States government to loan, at a low rate of interest and for a long period of years, to financially sound irrigation, levee, drainage and flood control districts such funds as may be necessary to finance and/or refinance such districts; be it further

      Resolved, That the secretary of state of the State of Nevada send copies of this resolution immediately to his excellency Herbert C. Hoover, president of the United States, to Dr. Elwood Mead, secretary of reclamation, to Dr. Ray Lyman Wilbur, secretary of the interior, to Congressmen S. S. Arentz, Addison T. Smith and Bertrand H.

Urging the establishment of veterans’ hospital in Nevada

[Senate Joint Resolution No. 2–Senator Henderson]

 

No. 2.–Senate Joint Resolution, memorializing Congress for the establishment of a veterans’ hospital in the State of Nevada.

 

[Approved January 27, 1931]

 

      Whereas,The State of Nevada is one of the largest areas in the United States now without a hospital; and

      Whereas,The climate, elevation and generally healthy climatic conditions are ideal for such a hospital, for the care and treatment of the diseases resulting from exposure and injury contracted in the World War, or incident thereto; and

      Whereas,Nevada sent a greater percentage of its population into the World War than any other state; and

      Whereas,The establishment of such a hospital in the State of Nevada would not only be a just tribute to the loyalty of Nevada, but also a boon to those suffering from maladies that would be more amendable to treatment under the beneficent climatic conditions of this state; therefore be it

      Resolved by the Senate and the Assembly of the State of Nevada, That the Congress of the United States is respectfully memorialized to establish within the State of Nevada a veterans’ hospital; and be it further

      Resolved, That properly certified copies of this resolution be telegraphed to the senators and representatives from Nevada, and to the chairman of the veterans’ subcommittee of the house who shall have this subject matter in charge.

[Approved January 28, 1931]

 

      Whereas,Congress has appropriated $3,400,000,000 to be used for the benefit of World War veterans and their beneficiaries and has ordered that these benefits shall be paid to the beneficiaries of a World War veteran upon his death, or to a World War veteran in 1945; and

      Whereas,Many of these men are now in serious financial trouble and in need of the necessities of life because of the lack of employment; and

      Whereas,The distribution of wealth to a large class of people, and over a vast area, will do more to bring about the return of prosperity than anything else that has as yet been suggested; now, therefore, be it

NUMBER 4, SJR 3

[Senate Joint Resolution No. 3–Humboldt Delegation]

 

No. 4–Senate Joint Resolution, memorializing the secretary of agriculture of the United States and the state officials of the State of Oregon to allocate certain funds under the Oddie-Colton bill.

 

[Approved February 2, 1931]

 

      To the Honorable, the Governor of the State of Oregon, and to the Honorable Arthur M. Hyde, Secretary of Agriculture:

      We, your memorialists, the legislature of the State of Nevada, respectfully represent:

      That U. S. Highway No. 95 extending from the Canadian boundary to Weiser, Idaho, cannot be extended southerly so as to connect with the highway systems of the States of Nevada and California without passing through a portion of the State of Oregon; that such extension of U. S. No. 95 would furnish a short and direct route from southern California, Mexico and Nevada to eastern Oregon, western Idaho and the Canadian resorts of Lake Louise, Banff, the Canadian National Park and the cities of Calgary and Edmonton and other points of interest in the Dominion of Canada;

      That such road would become at once an important interstate and international route of travel and for the transportation of agricultural products from the farms to the consuming markets and for carrying on commerce and trade between the states, and it would reduce the distance from southern California to points in western Idaho and eastern Oregon by as much as from 300 to 400 miles, in many cases, below the distance of existing highways and below the railroad mileage by the usually traveled routes;

      That such highway would be of great economic value and of strategic military importance and give a direct route of travel between the capitals of Nevada and Idaho, but the States of Nevada and Idaho are powerless in the premises because the unfinished portion of such highway lies wholly within the State of Oregon, but much, if not all, of said road will pass over the public domain of the United States and it may be constructed out of federal funds made available under the act of Congress approved June 24, 1930, commonly known as the Oddie-Colton bill; now, therefore, be it

      Resolved by the Senate and the Assembly of the State of Nevada, That we, your memorialists, petition and memorialize the State of Oregon and the public officials thereof having jurisdiction in the premises, and the honorable the secretary of agriculture of the United States to allocate the funds now and hereafter made available to the State of Oregon under the act of Congress approved June 24, 1930, commonly known as the Oddie-Colton bill, to the immediate construction of the extension of U. S. No. 95 southerly from Nyssa, Oregon, to the town of McDermitt on the Nevada-Oregon boundary line, and such other funds as may be available for use in such construction, to the end that said road may be completed at an early date; and this your memorialists will ever pray; be it further

      Resolved, That a copy of this memorial be transmitted by the secretary of state to the governor of the State of Oregon, to the president of the highway commission of said state, to the honorable the secretary of the United States department of agriculture, and to the senators and representative of the State of Nevada in the Congress of the United States.

No. 7–Senate Joint Resolution, memorializing the officers and members of the federal land bank of Berkeley, California, and federal farm loan board of Berkeley, California, to grant a moratorium to certain persons.

 

[Approved February 13, 1931]

      Whereas,Said borrowers have suffered from unusual and extreme droughts over which man had no control or power to prevent; and

      Whereas,The enforcement of the terms of these obligations by the federal reserve bank would result in an irreparable injury and loss to said borrowers and which in reality would deprive them of thousands of dollars of investments and years of hard labor and compel them to go into the world seeking labor in competition with thousands already out of employment; and

      Whereas,We feel that it is not the desire of your institution nor the government of the United States to foreclose the property and labor of its most industrial class of citizens; now, therefore, be it
