Tuesday, Feb 8. 1883,
The receipts Of cattle were liberal and the
general quality fair TO good the bulk Of the
offerings being native steers. Butchers
stock was scarce. The market opened early
at prices 150g25 cents higher than last week
and closed firm. The local and shipping de-
mand were both good and nearly everything
was taken. The cut in rates by the railroads
and the condition of the market in Chicago
had much TO do with the rise here and while
the condition Of affairs to-day was extremely
good shippers should exercise their own
judgment in regard to the future. One bunch
of choice steers sold at e4.50.

Under this head the Enterprise
appropriately remarks:
It is understood that several par
ties will fight with some acrimony
at the primaries in Storey to elect
delegates TO the Republican Con-
vention which meets at Yinnemuc-
ca on May Is. The fight will be
with the object OF electing delegates
favorable to themselves rs delega-
ties to the National Republican Con-
vention which meets in Chicago on
the 10Th of June.
Standing upon broad political
grounds. we would advise an early
compromise in this matter. 1t is
unseemly that the purpose for
which the convention shall meet at
Winnemucca should be made SUBJ
seryient to the desires of the men
who may merely wish to take
trip East. So far as the vote OF
the delegates from Nevada for the
Presidential nominations at Chica-
90 is concerned, it will doubtless be
according to the dictates OF Nevada's
constituency, and it won't make
any difference who is delegated to
cast it. This being the case. in
the interest of the Republican party
OF this State, and in the interest OF
It's nominees for National. State
and municipal officers, We say gen.
;.emen agree among yourselves
and don't compromise.the interests
OF the rank and file OF the PARTY.

One day Professor Cromwell
brought Ls.in line to The Whitney
tutor and told him that the Exam
iner had offered s25 to anyone who
would give 4 correct translation
The line reads as follows:
Qui cru1is emia lec.us aitus ct

After long wrestle with the line
the private tutor gave it up. The
catch comes on the Grst two words,
and ia translated as follows:
Qui, who; crudis, raw. Qui crud-

''for the red, white and blue" the
whole sentence reading, "Hurrah
for the red, white and blue"
These two professors don't speak

i suniect that should early re-
ccive the attention OF the coming
Nevada Legislature is that relating
TO the taxation OF mortgages and OF
the property moftgaged. In nearly
every other State in the Union ii a
mortgage say of 81 900 is on BIS
property. which is worth 81, 500.
i is consider red to be partner iu
the place, and is assessed for the
value OF the mortgage and is ass
essed for $500, or tie difference be-
tween the face value OF the mort
gage and the assessed value of the
place. This seems to be the true
and only inst way. II 3 mortgages
his place TO 4, it is not increased
IN value thereby. When Il mort
cages his property he parts with a
certain portion Of its value, of
which 4 becomes possessed, and
should he so taxed for it. While
&. since his interest has been d.
minished, should only pay taxes
upon the difference OF tho taxed
value and the face OF the mortgl-
pes. for that is oil that he may be
said to possess.
The laws of Nevada upon the
subject are peculiar. They hold
that in the case above, A shall be
taxed for 81 ,000 and L for 81 500,
while, should the latter apply the
81 900 he has received by mortga-
Sing his property TO purchasing
other property, this also would be
subject TO taxation, making in the
eyes of the State fictitious valua
ton of IS, 500, where only 50, 800 |
Is involved. In every case TIE |
amount covered by the mortgage is
twice taxed. The effect OF this
works a direct injury to q.
In Caliiornia the mortgage itself
is not taxed. B paying the whole
amount of taxation, but the burden
between 4 and 3 is equalized,
since A on this account can afford
to let his money at . lower rate OF
interest. Those who in Nevada
are compelled to borrow money,
giving a mortgage or = note rs secu-
rity, complain that the money
from California. is loaned at two or
three per cent. less interest than
hey are compelled to pay the Ne
vada capitalist. The Nevada mon
~ loaner thus making himself Sc
cure and on par with the lender
of California; but it all comes out OF
.he man who has tc borrow, who
should, if there is TO lie any dis
have the favor. No
lass is benefited by the law as il
Is, while both the lender and the
,ne 10 whom morey is lent, are
by it. The ioiner
vince all who can set money from
California will DO SO, TO the disuse
II his own, and the latter as has
,een STRAIGHTFORWARD.
