TREAT TukM FAIRLY.

y good deal is being said in the
press OF the State about the Govern
or and Controller being afraid to
challenge the assessment Of the rail-
road company. Last Thursday these
gentlemen met with the board OF
equalization ~ Eureka county and
DISCUSSED tax matters. In the SEN
tinel's account Of the meeting we find
the following:
The board was called together in
the afternoon and all were present.
The Governor stated that it was the
object u the State officers to assist
the county board in the collection OF
revenue for the State and county I'M
der an act passed by the last legisla-
turc. After showing the authority by
which he acted, he called Tor the as
sessment roll Of Eureka county, md
then stated that he challenged the
roll On the ground that the valuation
wss insufficient and not IN accord
ance with the law, which requires
an assessment upon the full cash val.
ne OF the property. In citing in
stances he called the attention Of the
board to the fact that on the day OF
the session the agent Of the Central
Pacific Railroad company had filed a
mortgage with the county recorder
OF q hundred and twenty-five mill
lion dollars on about one thousand
miles OF road, which indi Gated that it
was worth over 100000 dollars
a mile, while the assessor fixed the
valuation on the road at thirteen
thousand dollars n mile. Other prop

sn expensive railroad merely to tap a

much work in improving the lines al

be done to make the railroads In the
