LYON GOUNTY'S PROPERTY.
A Raise OF Over a Quater Of a MilIloa Made
by the Assessor Over the Valuation
for Last Year.

County Assessor Randall has COM
pleted and turned over to the Coun-
ty Clerk the Assessment Roll of
Lyon county for the year 1901. There
are upon the list this year the names
of 499 taxpayers.
The total valuation of property in
the county tor the year 1900, as
equalized, was SI,I6o,2s3, and the to-
tai valuation for this year is SI,5o6,-
I2I, or raise of S336,s6S over the
valuation of last year.
OF this raise the railroad compa-
MES share is SI3oS75 and the real es.
tate owners share is S2o6,oo3.
The main track of the Central Pa
cific Railroad Company was put in
this year by the Assessor at $4,000
per mile, and the side-track at $1,000
per mile, while the Carson X Colo
RADIO main track was raised from
81 900 last year to S2,5oo this year.
From the foregoing figures it will
be seen that the Assessor IL endeav.
orlng to establish a system of full
valuation OF property and low
is to be greatly desired in this State,
provided that each county pursues
the same course.
1t remains now to be seen whether
the County Board of Equalization
will sustain the raises made by the
Assessor, and yet further, whether
the railroad companies will pay on
the advanced valuation without a
contest, even if the Board of Equal.
ization does sustain the raise.
Should the Board of Equalization
sustain the Assessors valuations
throughout it would be possible to
lower the rate from S2.3o on each
sIoo to S2.oo, and possibly lower. 1t
the State Board of Equalization
would then reduce the State rate
from Soc. to 6oc. on each $Ioo, which
we understand the new revenue la w
will permit it it to do if the circum-
stances justify, our rate in Lyon
county for both State and count y
purposes would only be $I.8o on the
500 valuation. The difference in
the amount that the railroad compa.
MES or any individual would pay
under these conditions would be in
significant; in fact the individuals
would be paying less than if they
continued under the old system of
low valuation and high rate, and
the benefits of the new system to
the State would be too numerous to
mention in this article.
From our exchanges it is learned
that valuations have been raised con-
siderably in Humboldt, Washoe.
Elko and Churchill counties, and by
some 1t is estimated that the aggre-
gate raise in valuation throughout
the State will be close to $4,000, 900.
1t this is the case it certainly must
mean substantial reduction in the
State rate.

to demand changes in hours of labor
and wages to which they have been an
agreeing party, except upon reasonable
notice, for good causes and without
threats of a strike.
The right to own plant carries with
it the right to control plant. And the
two rights cannot be divorced by the
mere edict of any association, union or
other labor combination.
If it is right for labor to demand ten
hours pay for nine hours work it is
equally right for capital to demand pay
for ten pounds of bacon, sugar or other
staple product, when it weighs out only
nine pounds. It is as reasonable to
make fifty minutes an hour, by statute,
as it is to decree, by legislation, that
seven hours is day.
Equal rights to labor and capital will
make their best footing and stand most
firmly after walking delegates and
designing agitators have ceased to force
regulatory legislation upon the country.
It is far better to close manufacturing
plant, and let it rot in disuse, than to
operate under the dictation of non
owners and in abject duress.

MYSTERIOUS MISS DACRES.

Secretary of the Navy, Long is great
admirer of good detective yarn or
story of mystery. 1t is his relaxation,
and he apparently reads with critical
Judgment as we'll. He recently wrote
to Mrs. Schuyler Crowninshield in re-
gard to her latest novel, "Mysterious
Miss Dacres," which was printed in
Lippincott's Magazine: 81 read it with
a very lively interest. The charm is in
the dialogue, the extravaganza of situa-
tion, the constant unexpectedness of
situation. For this reason it reminded
me of Frank Stockton, and Stockton at
his best. In it's touches of New Eng
land character and scene and dialect
nothing could be more real. Of all
things it is not conventional, unless it is
in the final page or two in which the
mystery is unravelled."

SINGLE TAX.
EDITOR CONSERVATIVE :

EDITOR CONSERVATIVE:
DEAR SIR:-It was with much inter-
est that read the article in your last
issue, writted by Johan Wage and,
as this gentleman stated good many
things and will answer all questions, I
would be pleased to have him answer
the following that is, if he can: Will
not the landlord shift the tax upon the
tenant, as he does all other taxes today?
What benefit would the laborer derive
from such a tax? If you were to
levy all taxes on land no one would own
it. Is there not plenty of idle land out
west? And, if so, why don't the people
go out there? If the single tax would
do everything he states, why don't the
people get it? What would Mr.. Wage
do for the poor widow who had saved
few dollars and had purchased piece
Of land, and it was the only means of
her support? Would he tax it out of
her possession?
I shall watch with interest his reply
in your coming issue. Respectfully,
G. j. FOYER.

COMPLEXION.

COMPLEXION. Farmer, of June 8,
contains comment
on the Grout bill which proposes a
heavy tax upon 'oleo colored in imita-
ton of butter" and commends the afore-
said paternal legislation for re-introduc-
tion at the next session of congress.
The question Of what ''color" really
initiates the complexion of normal but
ter is quite puzzling. Butter depends
for color upon the food of the COWS. 1t
is white in winter and golden in sum-
mer. If "oleo'' is white it is imitation
of naturally colored, winter-made
butter. If "oleo" is yellow it is like
the butter made in June. Under the
Grout law, as advocated by the 'Orange
Judd Farmer" can oleo of any color be
sold at all without violating the statute?
The dairy journals, and even ordinary
agricultural periodicals, constantly
advertise various
Artificial compounds and
Compilations concoctions for
giving an artificial
complexion to butter. One of these
coloring substances is described as
"fadeless" and entirely capable and
efficient in giving the genuine "June
tint" to butter.
By what sort Of discriminating con-
sciences are artificial coloring and COM
plexion for butter made perfectly proper
and right, and artificial coloring for
"oleo" altogether improper and wrong?
Why is it right for rancid butter, bought
up by creameries, all over the west, to
be chemically treated, colored and put
upon the market as ''the best jersey"
when it is wrong to place clean, whole
some and pure oleomargarine for sale
alongside of it, if the same has been
colored even by feeding carrots? Why
has one product of the bovine right to
artificial complexion and another no
right to such makeup? Why should
the selfshness of dairymen be enacted
into law any more than the selfishness
of oleomargarine makers? Do the
American people know enough to pur-
chase the oleaginous substance they use
for spreading on their bread? Can the
people be injured by wholesome,
cheaper and better substance than much
of the chemically treated butter, even if
left free to buy it, in preference to
butter, though it may have, like most
butter, an artificial complexion?
Is not the sole object of the Grout bill
to increase the price of butter by killing
off the use Of competitor Of butter
called oleomargarine?
