SHOULD THE RATE BE REDUCED

A reporter of the SILVER STATE in
terviewed several of our prominent
taxpayers yesterday as to whether 1t
would be wiser to let our tax rate re-
main at the present figure or reduce
it, say to 50, and every one was de-
cidedly against any reduction. As
one gentleman expressed himself,
sWhv a redu etion in the rate would
be making present of just that much
to the railroad company. By allow
ing the rate to remain as 1T is the ).
P. Co. in this county will have to pay
about $11 900 more than if it was re-
duced to 50. The county can use all
the money collected even at the pres
ent rate in paying off some OF the
floating indebtedness, which will
have to be paid sometime and might
as we'll be cleaned up now as later.
Although it will come hard in great
many cases on account of the present
great depression of all interests, 1T will
show to the world that we have back
bone and can stand the raise for one
year, and in that way give the rail-
road dose of their own medicine
Others spoke in about the same tone
and for the purpose OF getting general
information the SILVER STATE would
be pleased to hear from any taxpayer
in the county on the subject, viz ::
Should the County Commissioners
reduce the tax rate or not?

Coast Stock Ranges.

The census bulletin on TRANCE live
stock" says: Outside the stock taken
by regular enumerators as son
farms" this investigation shows upon
the ranges in California, in the census
year OF 1890, 24l, 300 cattle, 22,542
horses, 400 mules, 1917 1898 sheep
and 9,110 swine, with 1882 men en-
ployed as herders, etc. The figures
for the range stock OF Eastern Oregon
are: Cattle 263, 5s1, horses 81, 469,
sheep l,l70,1l6. Washington cannot
much longer claim to be range
stock State. The wheat-growers are
rapidly appropriating the ranges, and
only ten counties, located in the east
ern portion of the State, have stock
ranges, and these in limited mum beers.
The loss in 1889 by winter storms is
estimated at fully 80 per cent Of all
stock. The number OF range cattle is
given ut 81, los, range horses at a.
300, and sheep at 20S,21S. In 1880
Washington as a Territory was u
flourishing grazing district. 1t is now
a flourishing wheat field. The ranges
of Arizona are not, as Il rule, over
crowded, and wool-growers have not
as yet occupied extensive ranges, ex-
cept in Apache and Yavapai counties.
The range stock OF Arizona is reported
as follows: Cattle 659,75S, horses
1857, mules and burros 1903, sheep
41,70S, swine, 3,0l3. On account OF
the very protracted dry spells of late
years, the industry Of Nevada has
been much depressed. No figures are
given for Nevada.
