A bill is now before the Legislature
to create State Board of Equalization.
1t provides that the Governor, State
Controller and State Treasurer shall
compose aud be the members If said
Board and that each shall receive the
sum of $500 per annum for travelling
and contingent expenses. The Board
shall have power to equalize all assess
ments and valuations for taxation of all
property in the State, situate IN two
or more counties, including rail-
roads and lines or routes of transport
tation. The Board may change or cor
rect any assessment or valuation for
taxation of any such property, either
by adding thereto or ded netting there
from. provided application is made by
the taxpayer whose assessment IS
sought to be equalized. The bin pro-
vides that at least ten days prior to the
FIRST Monday of September, in each
year. the County Assessor of each
county in which any railroad or contin-
uous lines of transportation shall exist,
shall deliver to the Board an abstract
of the assessment o. all such property.
and npon receipt of such abstract the
Board shall notify any taxpayer, the
valuation of whose property it proposes
to raise. of the time when the matter
shall be heard, and upon the hearing
the Board may take evidence under
oath in regard to the real value of such
property. 1t is made the duty of the
Board. in determining the yalne of
property for taxation, to consider its
value for the purposes for which it was
constructed and is being used, and to
treat any railroad or lines of transpor-
tation, by rail or otherwise, as an in
tegral part of continuous highway in
use or operation. The Board shall
have power to control the prosecution
OF all actions brought to recover taxes
upon such property and may. when
necessary. employ counsel at the ex-
pense of the State to assist in the pros.
ecntion of such actions.
It has been charged that assessors
and local boards of equalization in
certain counties through which the
Central Pacific Railroad runs, were
partial to that corporation, a1d that
the road has been assessed at SO 900
per mile in Washoe, while il was only
valued1at SIS. 600 10 Humboldt, Lander,
Eureka and Elko counties. The facts
de not substantiate the assertion, as it
is veil known that the reason why the
road was not assessed at higher
than $6.0 per mile in
Humboldt and the counties to the East,
was not sbscause Of any partially of
the officers, but. simply because the
railroad company would not stand
the raise withot lawsuit in which
each county would have TO pay its own
costs. although the State would lie
interested in the result. The bill
under consideration gives the Board
control OF the prosecution Of all such
actions, and it ought to provide for the
payment of all expenses of the suit.
A State Board Of equalization is me-
cessity in Nevada. but should this
bill pass it may not stand the test of
the courts, az it does not provide for
the equalization Of all property. and
special legislation is prohibited by the
Constitution. H. 81 Ita

policy except it has been set forth in his letter
of acceptance and in his inaugural address, In each
of those documents he has told the country what he
believes desirable TO be accomplished IN relation to
the Southern question. In neither has he explained
bow the results at which he will aim to be brought
about That is a subject for future consideration.
The President has thus far committed himself 10 no
particular plan Of accomplishing the desired result.
HIS selection of ex-senator Key to aplace in the
Cabinet was undoubtedly prompted by his wish to
demonstrate to the Southern people his willingness
to be the President of the whole country and not of
party and to invite the assistance of every class
Of citizens in the solution of the Southern question,
in which they vtaly Interested In fact, Presi
dent Hayes's Southern policy has only been so far
developed to show what he aims to accomplish, and
not the means which he intends to employ. Those
ends cannot otherwise than command the approval
of patriotic men of all parties and President Hayess
friends think that the men of either party who may
in advance place themselves in antagOnism with
the Administration account Of what they may
conceive to be its intended policy may have reason
to regret assuming a false position.
