THE STATE REVENUE LAW.
LovELocK. JUNE 27. 1901.


EDITOR DISPATCH: There are a num-
Der of people in this State who are Dor
rowing much trouble owe the new
revenue law, among them Mr.. Sain
whose assets consist OF his gall and his
other shirt.
The people who have taken the
pains to look into the merits Of the
law think 1t a good one. The taxpayers
in this section have, in most cases,
taken the raise in valuation as they wee
il, that 1t is in line with the incrsase In
valuation of other property. such as
railroads. cattle sheep. ETC.. as assessed
by the Board of Assessors at their
meeting in Carson City the first Of
April, which leaves them TO stand their
proportion Of tax burden as before, I'M
der the lower valuation. and property
is now assessed nearer the actual cash
value as required by law, and the tax
payer who has to swear to his assessed
valuation does not have to perj'ire him
self by putting his property at less than
its value as he would have to do under
the old system, or If he was honest and
conscientious. would pay more than his
proportion of the money to support the
government, as each county would at
tempt to make its property lower in
value so as to escape Its portion Of the
State rate and thus put a premium on
plrjury. Under the new system a
uniform valuation is established and
the burden Of taxation rests equally
on all, and instead Of there being
but twenty-four and one-half millions of
taxable property In the State. including
railroads. 1t will gradually increase to
about the actual cash value.
From present appearance the as
sessed valuation in the State this year
will be double what It wa last.
When the revenue bill came up be-
fore the Senate. which was composed
of some of the heaviest taxpayers Of
the State. 1t received the entire vote Of
that august body. One feature Of the
measure is that 1t provides a flexible
State rate, that Is. when the entire val
ue of the property within the State Is
listed and reported to the Governor,
Attorney-G General and Controller they
shall proceed to fix the State rate,
which In nc case shall exceed eighty
cents on the one hundred dollars valua-
ton, and shall be in proportion as the
amount required to conduct the State
government for that year stands to the
whole property valuation in the State,
but in no case shall they fix a rate
which will give the State more revenue
than is necessary to meet the total
amount Of appropriations as made by
the last proceeding legislature. The
advantage Of this over the provisions
Of the old law Is that the old law fixed
the rate at one dollar per one hundred
dollars valuation, and a rate SO fixed
held for two years or until the next
legislature met and levied a new rate,
A radical increase in valuation would
produce too much revenue and this
would have to continue for two years
or until the next legislature met and
rsmedied it. Taking the new enu
law as a whole we believe ii a long step
in the right direction toward reform
and honest taxation.

OUR DEAD.

Go night, you bring no rest,
Go stars, no longer shine,
Go singing birds unto your nest,
And leave ne with the dead that s mine
How calm they sleep these dead of ours,
How still and TRANQUILITY they lie,
They pass away like sweetest flowers,
IT'S thus they leave US day by day,
We touch the brow with fond caress,
But no response comes in return.
o merciful God, why bring distress
Orr pent up hearts to burn?
We touch the cheek, we lift the hand
But not t emor back they give,
O that some miraculous hand
Would touch the brow, that they might
live!
But alas we call in vain.
There comes no answer to our cry,
We hear but song of sweetest strains
you loved must ever die.
They are not dead, they only sleep
For like a joyous bird on wing,
They rise to flight and soar away,
To the land where angels sing"

Each day as | pass along;
The love of the Father eternal
Is over us, tender and strong.
IT'S not alone in the sunshine
Our lives grow pure and true:
There is growth as well in the shadow,
And pain has work to do.
A message comes in the heartache,
A whisper of love in the PAIN
The pang we have fought and con-

Tells the sweet s'ory of gain.

The love of the Father eternal,
Is over us all the way.

EYES APPLE TREE.
The Forbidden Fruit Still Found in
the Island Of Ceylon.

A fruit supposed to bear the mark Of
EYES teeth is one of the many botanical
curiosities of Ceylon. The tree on which
it grows is known by the significant
name of "the forbidden fruit" or
Gives apple tree" The blossom has a
very pleasant scent, but the really lie
markable feature of the tree, the one to
which it owes its name, is the fruit. 1t
is beautiful, and hangs from the tree in
a peculiar manner. Orange on the out
side, and deep crimson within, each
fruit has the appearance of having had
piece bitten out of it. This fact, to
gether with it's poisonous quality, led
the Mohammedans to represent it is as
the forb idden fruit of the Garden of
Eden and to warn men against its nox-
ious properties. The mark upon the
fruit is attributed to Eve. Why the
bite of Adam did not also leave it's
mark is not known, but, as only one
piece seems to be missing, it's loss is
ascribed to the woman.-Buffalo Com

Pictures of Memory.

Among the beautiful pictures
That hang on memory's wall,
Is one of the dim old forest,
That seemeth the best of all;
Not for its gnarled oaks olden,
Dark with the mis- letoe;
Not for the violets golden,
That sprinkle the vale below;
Not for the milk white lilies
That lean from the fragrant ledge,
Coquetting all dav with the sunbeams
And stealing their golden edge;
Not for the vines on the upland,
Where the bright red berries rest,
Nor the pinks, nor the pale sweet cowslip
1t seemeth to me the best.
l once hal little brother,
With eyes that were dark and deep,
In the lap of that dim old forest,
He lieth in peace asleep:
Light as the down of the thistle,
Free as the winds that blow
We roved there the beautiful summers
The summers of long ago;
But his feet on the hills grew weary,
And one of the autumn ewes,
! made for my little brother
A bed of the yellow leaves.
Sweetly his pale arms folded
My neck IN meek embrace,
As the light of immortal beauty
Silently covered his face:
And when the arrows Of sunset
Lodged in the tree tops bright,
He fell, 10 his saint-like beauty,
Asleep by the gates of light.
Therefore of all the pictures
That hang on memory's wall,
Tho one of the dim old forest
Seemeth the best of all.
