THE TAX QUESTION

In some Of the counties Of Nevada
the tax rate goes to the limit Of five
Per cent. Can it be doubted that the
assessed valuation Of property goes to
the other extreme? In this way those
counties cheat the State Of just ,eve-
nue. because the State tax of 81 on
the hundred remains the same for all
counties. whether the property val
uation is high or ,ow. There should
be some way to equalize assessments
throughout the State, and We recon-
mend this subject as the most impor-
tant one before the people today. In
selecting candidates for the Legisla-
ture this year choose mer who will
handle the tax question in,elligently
with a view Of securing some con-
certed action hat will bring the tax
rate down to a point that will not
scare away home seekers and would
be -investors.-Gszette
The above is sound business sense
and today the tax issue is the most
important one before the people Of
this State.

COWARDLY WORK

The strikers in St. Louis whe have
boy cotted the street cars because the
owners of the line: will not pay the

fatal mistake. On Sunday last they
me bbed and beat two youn girls be-
cause they rode on the cars. Their
clothing was torn off and they had to
take refuge in an old cellar here
they were pelted with stones.
The class of men who carry their
boycotting measures to such limits
deserve no sympathy from the people
and should be cracking rocks in Jail
The laboi organizations Of St
Louis should 1epudiate this Outrage
ard see that the perpetrators ar
brought to justice. The cause o
labor can never be advanced unit

THE OLD JAIL
viii Still Hold the C0unty's Prisoners as
in Years Gone By.

Arrangements were practically COM
pleted Tuesday for the disposal of the
county's prisoners while the new
Court House is under process of con-
struction. One week ago Tuesday night
the proposition was made to the City
Council that the rooms occupied by the
city electric light plant be refitted and
utilized for Jail in which the more
important prisoners could be confined.
The County Commissioners, howev-
er, concluded that it would be more de-
sirable and more satisfactory to retain
the old Jail until such time as the
Court House was ready for occupancy
Accordingly a contract was practically
closed Tuesday afternoon between the
purchasers of the building and the
County Commissioners for the use of
the Jail building for an indefinite per-
iod.

Mystiiied and Astonished.

The people of Augusta are mystified
and astOniShed. 1t is customary to
associate the arts of hand and MIND
reading with gypsy fortune tellers and
fakes in general. But right here in the
midst of the good people of Augusta
has appeared a highly educated and
refined young man whose achievements
in the line of mind reading are truly
astonishing. People go into the par
lors of Hotel North incredulous and
come out astounded. Prof Karl Won
r. Hamong. Comte st. German. has
made scientific study of occult sub
jects and has written books on psychol-
ogy and palmistry. He is able to read
names and questions that are written
in another room and perform other
wonderful acts of that nature. In
these days of incredulity, people are
not expected to believe wonderful and
mysterious things until they have seen
for themselves. A call upon Won Ha-
mong is all that is necessary to con-
vince anyone that he is a wonderful
man.
