The amendment also requires the governor to submit the proposed executive budget to the Legislature no later than 14 days before the start of each regular session. Historically, the governor has presented the budget to the Legislature at the time of the State of the State Address. That is why, since 1999, the State of the State Addresses have been delivered prior to session. Dates of Nevada State of the State Addresses | March 2019 | p. 3.

Rowley/Thesis Advisor May 2015 THE GRADUATE SCHOOL We recommend that the thesis prepared under our supervision by EMERSON MARCUS Entitled Reno At The Races: Sporting Life Versus Progressive Reform be accepted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of MASTER OF ARTS William D. Rowley, Ph.D., Advisor Elizabeth Raymond, Ph.D., Committee Member Greta de Jong, Ph.D., Committee Member Alicia Barber, Ph.D., Graduate School Representative David W. Zeh, Ph. D., Dean, Graduate School May, 2015 i Abstract The thesis examines horse race betting in the state of Nevada from 1915 to 1931 and how two opposing forces — sporting life and progressive reform — converged as state lawmakers passed progressive gambling legislation. While maybe not a catalyst, this legislation began Nevada’s slippery slope to becoming a wide-open gambling state. It examines how the acceptance of horse race betting opened the door for more ambitious forms of gambling while other states eventually followed Nevada’s lead and passed similar horse race betting law during the Great Depression. While other western states followed suit and legalized horse race betting during the Great Depression, month-long race meetings in Reno disbanded, as Nevada opened itself to wide-open gambling. ii Table of Contents Acknowledgments iii I.

Celebrate Legislative Women At the 2015 Nevada Women’s History Project Annual Pink Tea Join us for our annual Pink Tea to be held inside the Governor’s Mansion in Carson City. This formal tea is a salute to those brave women who used such a tea as a camouflage event to hide the real reason for the meeting – to plan suffrage events without the knowledge of the women’s husbands, who often were not supporters of women’s suffrage. This year we are honoring those women who have served in the State Legislature since 1916, when Nevada women could vote for the very first time. Since that first state election a total of 131 women have or are serving in our Nevada Legislature, 79 Democrats and 53 Republicans. Our founder Jean Ford served in both houses and represented both parties No woman has served in the legislature representing Douglas County. Clark, Washoe and Nye Counties have had the most representatives. For more legislative fun and facts, plan to attend.

  • Historic Kit Carson Trail

    Historic Kit Carson Trail

    2.5 Miles of History found along Carson City’s Historic Kit Carson Trail Considered one of the top attractions in Carson City by the America Automobile Association, the Historic Kit Carson Trail provides a glimpse into the history of this city, known as the true heart of Nevada, for it is in this city the history of Nevada was born and history continues to be made. The West Side Historic District was placed on the National Park Service National Register of Historic Places in 2011 and borders the sections between Mountain Street to the west, Carson Street to the east, Fifth Street to the south and W. Robinson to the north; though, there are some interesting houses found to the north of W. Robinson located a bit out of the walking district. So historic is our city that the National Park Service has designated 44 local sites on their register. Note many of the homes and government buildings were built from the sandstone quarried by prisoners from the Nevada State Prison, built in 1862 and decommissioned in 2012. While the Historic Kit Carson Trail can be accessed at any point, we suggest you begin your historic tour with a visit to the wonderful U.S Mint/Nevada State Museum where you will receive an overview of the uniqueness of this state and Carson City’s contribution to the overall state history.

    A GUIDE TO THE MYRTLE TATE MYLES PAPERS MS/NC 679 By Arline Laferry NEVADA HISTORICAL SOCIETY Reno, Nevada August 2004 MYRTLE TATE MYLES MYRTLE TATE MYLES Myrtle Tate Myles was born May 15,1886 in Grantsville, then a thriving central Nevada mining town, to Thomas and Esther Tate. When Manhattan, Nevada, was first discovered in 1905 the Tates went there and Myrtle helped her mother run a boarding house for the miners. She met John Myles there and later married him at her grandmother's home in Big Pine, California. John Clack Myles was from a pioneer Austin, Nevada, family. He died in 1932. Myrtle and John had two children, Marjorie, and Jack. In 1920, while living in Keeler, California, she took a correspondence course on writing from the University of California . She started writing poetry and stories of Nevada for publication. During the late 1920's, while living in Carson City, Nevada, Myrtle became associated with De Aryan Publishing Company, selling subscriptions to International Poetry Magazine and soliciting poetry in Nevada. She had her poems published monthly in the magazine. She became a second vice president of the company, then associate editor. In 1932, the year in which her husband died unexpectedly in Austin, Nevada, she became a correspondent in central Nevada for United Press and later, after she moved to Reno, was employed by the Internal Revenue Service. Myrtle became an authority on Nevada history, and after she moved to Reno, she worked for the Thomas Wilson Advertising Agency doing the research for Harold’s’ Club Pioneer Nevada, a popular series of history articles which appeared in newspapers throughout the state.

    Political History of Nevada Chapter 9 Election Results 449 CHAPTER 9: ELECTION RESULTS State Elections Election Results Over the course of Nevada’s history, the State has remained fairly balanced in its political leanings. In 39 presidential campaigns, the Republican candidate won the State 21 times, the Democrat nominee 17 times, and the Populist Party contender once. In 31 of those presidential races, Nevada backed the eventual winner. Of 25 U.S. Senators to serve Nevada in Washington, D.C., 12 have been Democrats and 13 Republicans, with 2 of those Republican Senators also being elected as a member of the Silver Party as well. Nevada has been represented by 38 Congressmen or Congresswomen, 20 Republicans, 18 Democrats, 3 of which may have run as a member of the Silver-Democrat Party. Th irty men have held the position of Governor in Nevada: 14 Republicans, 11 Democrats, and 2 each from the Silver and Silver-Democrat parties (NOTE: James W.

    WILLIAM MORRIS STEWART MS/NC 5 A GUIDE TO HIS PAPERS AT THE NEVADA HISTORICAL SOCIETY by C. Elizabeth Raymond Nevada Historical Society Reno 1983 TABLE OF CONTENTS Preface iv Introduction 1 Biographical Sketch 3 Scope and Content of Collection 11 Arrangement of Collection 15 Index 20 PREFACE This register of the William Morris Stewart Papers is the first such manuscript guide to be published by the Nevada Historical Society. Funds for its compilation and printing were provided through the generous assistance of the Max C. Fleischmann Foundation. From time to time, the Nevada Historical Society will issue other guides to manuscript collections of particular historical importance. INTRODUCTION The William M. Stewart Papers were acquired by the Nevada Historical Society in 1909, the year of Senator Stewart's death. Located in Reno, they comprise fifteen cubic feet of manuscript material and thirty-two bound volumes of scrapbooks lists of Nevada voters/ and newspapers. The bulk of the collection dates from the years 1887 to 1906, although there are scattered items from as early as 1866, and extending up to 1908. The Stewart Papers remained unorganized until 1973, when they were removed from the fireproof cans in which they had been stored, and professional processing was begun. A comprehensive index to the correspondence in the collection was started in 1975, by Philip D. Hart. It was completed in 1982, by C. Elizabeth Raymond, with assistance from Barbara A. Harmon. The index fills sixteen card catalogue drawers, and includes citations for personal names and major subjects. A listing of significant index entries is included in this guide.
