n NTEREsrs IN the STATE.

NO II
soms eaisors Of the damphool per
,u.sion have recently sndssvorsd to
mako political capital for their owners
and against the Republican party. BY as
,.rtins that one Of It's prominent can
did.tss for once. Mr.. Sharon. paid
scarcely any taxes to the State Of Ne
vsda. In the same breath Ahsy accuse
that gentleman with being . terrible
monopolist; with crushing out small
capitalists and small industries with the
gigantic power Of capital he swsys and
uses. They charge that the Virginia 4
Truckss Railroad il . monopoly. and
damn Mr.. Sharon for his interest there
in. They class the Union Mill and
Mining Company a. . monopoly, and
heap curses upon Mr.. Sharon because
10 owns aportion Of its stock. They a.
ssrt that the wosd businsssis monopoly.
and invsigh against William Sharon be-
cause, with othsrs. he Is interested in
wood lands and vood-pilss.
Isn't this sbsurdity too palpabls to
need review or sxplanationi Does not
the Virginia & Truckes r. r. Company
pay ta1ssi II Mr.. Sharon owns q por-
ton Of that road. will soms Of these
d~anphools please tell US how he svadss
taxation with the balance OF its stock
hsldsnf Does not the Union Mill and
Mining Company pay taIesl II Sharon
IL interested therein. will some Of these
astuts liars please tell Us how he dodgss
his portioni Are net woodlands taxed
in Nsvadal Are not wood-Pilss taIsdf
II Sharon Be interested in either how
does he escape whom his partners are
taxsdf The absurdity Of the positions
assumed BY these sapisnt editors be-
comes almost grotssqus II we consider
IL in detail. Their effort is to prove that
Mr.. Sharon Is not . citizen. has no tax
able property in the State and therefore
NO interests. And to do 90 they cite the
amount Of property standing in his iAdi-
viduai name upon the assessment rolls,
leaving out entirely the property assssssd
to companies and corporations in which
he holds large interests.
But the attempt to prove that Mr..
Sharon has no taxable interests in Ne
vada Is q boomerang. 1t returns to
snits the author Of the theory How
can . man b q Railroad menopolist IN
less he Be interested in railroadsi How
II he DO thus interested can he escape
the payment Of his proportion Of the
assessment Of said railrosd7 How can
q man be q milling monopolist except he
be interested in millsi And II so, when
the mills are taxed how can he sscaps
payment Of his proportisni How
can . man b wood mo-
nspolist except he own woodland
or wood. And whom this woodland is
taxed as realty. or the wood as personal
property. does he not pay his proper
ton Of taxes thsrson1 In ID, in short,
necessary that all the property interests
one may have in . State be taxed in his
orn name 10 identity him with the Pso-
pie and make him . citizsni Does
Adslph sutro pay any taxes in his "
name. II he owns stock in the Tunnel
Company does not he pay his proper
Tomato amount Of the assessed taxes
upon that property How can q man
b q monspolist. owning railroads. wsod
piles. nills, and mines without paying
ta1ss. while the property he swns Is as
sssssd and taxes are paid thsrsoni II
Sharon ID . railroad. mill and wood mo-
nopelist. he has Large, very large pssu-
mary interests in this State. II he has
not suoh interests. he IL not nor can he
~ . n~enopolist. This 10 apparent to
everybody.
