rives, which will be about the first of
the month. 1t will take several
months for him to complete the sur
vey and when he gets through and re-
ports it will be definitely known
whether OF not the tunnel will be con-
structed. The plan is to start from
Cold Stream and come out at Soda
Springs. The distance would be about
five miles. Such o tunnel would
shorten the road, do away with the
sheds and lessen the grade, but on the
other hand it would cost about IS. 0OO,-
900, besides disadvantages on account
of pure air in running through such
long tunels.

PRArsEwoRrHY EXAMPLE.


From the Salt Lake Herald.
In these days of tax-dodging capt.
talists it is refreshing to find at least
one man Of wealth who prefers to pay
his full assessment, even when he
might avoid it without being guilty OF
any overt dishonesty or prevarication.
This man is John Sparks, the we'll
known cattle breeder Of Reno, Nevada.
When Mr.. Sparks received notice oil
his assessment he found that his cat
tie had been valued at $50 a head
while the estimate made on his thor
oughbred bulls was at the rate OF 500
each. As Mr.. Sparks keeps nothing
but the highest grade stock, he knew
these figures to be far too low. In.
stead of pocketing the difference and
congratulating himself on the leni-
ency or inexperience of the Assessor,
he promptly notified that official that
his appraisement was too small. He
declared his cattle to be worth every
cent of $40 a head and his bulls not
less than $500, and he insisted on be-
ing assessed at this rate.
In placing his reputation above his
pocket Mr.. Sparks not only sets q fine
example of honesty. but he demon
strates his sound business sense He
keeps only the highest class OF cattle,
and he realized that to have them
listed at an Insignificant price would
place him in a false light. In short,
he appreciated that his reputation for
honesty and integrity was worth more
to him than the dollars he might save
by keeping his mouth shut. Nevada
has every reason to be proud OF such
a citizen, and if there were more bust
ness men like Mr.. Sparks in the
country the State treasures would be
fuller and assessment rates far lower.
In the majority Of cases tax.dodg-
ing is looked upon IS a matter Of self
protection. A few dishonest men
through pulls and sometimes through
corruption, secure an differentiation.
Their competitors and neighbors, see
ing this, believe that it is not fair that
they should pay more than an equiva-
lent share of the taxes. 1t is there
fore refreshing to find one man who
takes a more exalted view Of his du-
ties as q citizen. and it is to be hoped
that others will follow his example.

Judge s. ]. Bonnifeld, Jr., Of the
Fifth Judicial District of Nevada,
Humboldt county, has declared the
revenue law passed by the last Legis-
lature unconstitutional. The decision
was rendered in the mandamus pro-
ceedings instituted some time ago by
C. III. E. Hardin vs.. Assessor Guthrie
Of Humboldt county, brought for the
purpose of compelling the Assessor to
determine his individual valuation Of
Hardin's cattle, regardless of the valu-
alton fixed by the so-called State
Board of Assessors.
The Court finds rs conclusions OF
law, says Mondays Silver State:
THAT the Act of the Legislature en-
titled An Act to provide for a more
uniform valuation and assessment Of
property in this State,' approved
March 16, 1901, is unconstitutional and
void, for the reason that 1t delegates
To the Board of Assessors, sought to
be created by its provisions, the power
to classify and assess any property
within this State, without providing
what property it may assess. or pro-
viding any regulations to govern said
Board in arriving at a valuation OF
any property it may act upon, which
makes it repugnant to and in conflict
| with Section l Of Article 8 of the Con-
stition of this State, and Of Section l
of Article 10 of said Constitution, in
that it delegates to said Board Of AS
SCISSORS the power to value and assess
any property it may seem fit, without
combining or restricting the powers OF
said Board in that particular in any
manner, and without prescribing any
regulations or rule by which a just val
uation Of the property they see fit to
act upon shall be arrived at, which I'M
restricted power can reside alone in
the Legislature Of the State, and can
not be delegated to any other branch
Of the government.
"That said Act of the Legislature is
particularly in c~ontravention with
Section s Of Article i of the Constitu-
ton OF this State, and Section l Of
Article IA Of amendments to the Con-
stitution Of the United States, in that
it would deprive petitioner of his prop
erty without due process Of law, fol
the reason that said Act affords peti-
toner no opportunity to be heard, Oh
to offer any evidence concerning the
valuation Of his property at any time
| before the assessment would become
a final charge against him.
"That therefore the assessment o
petitioners cattle under the provisions
of said Act of the Legislature of 1901
was void, and of no avail, and the re-
spondent, Assessor of Humboldt coun.
ty, is commanded to determine the
cash value of said cattle and ssess the
same within the time allowed by Law
under the provisions of an Act of The
Legislature Of the State of Nevads
entitled "An Act to provide revenue
for the support of the government o
the State Of Nevada, and to repeal Ger
tain Acts relating thereto" approved
March %, 1891. And that a perman
ent writ Of mandamus issue command
ing the respondent, ]. w. Guthrie, il
his official capacity as Assessor o
Humboldt county, and not other
wise, to act accordingly"
