ton is such that the poor people do not
feel the taxes We are taxed according to
our incomes. A mine is taxed for what it
produces, so that it pays taxes as a part of
its expenses, and, comparatively speaking,
the burden is not felt. In the East the
taxes cannot be levied that way because
there are too many rich men. In Nevada
there are only a few rich men, and they
cannot do much; consequently, when a
lode gives out, like the Comstock. the
revenue Of the government falls off. Now,
what under such circumstances does our
Legislature do? 1t goes to work and cuts
down salaries and expenses right and left
TO make liabilities less than receipts. We
nave no debt, and our mines are doing
well, there being no State or Territory in
the Union where mining is carried on so
scientifically and Systematically as it is in
Nevada. The idea that we desire to be
annexed to California; or return to a Ter
ritorial government, is absurd.
