making eight in all.
Mr.. Chartz moved the adoption OF the

The question being now debatable,
Joseph X. Ryan arose to object to the in
creased representation from Nye, hold
ing that by reverse reasoning the con-
vention would have a right to take away
from any county any number Of delegates
even after the apportionment had been
made by the State Central Committee.
Mr.. Peters replied to Mr.. Ryan by
stating that as an act of justice, in view
of the vote which would be cast at the
forthcoming election in Nye county he
believed the increased representation
should stand. He also stated that he
knew of no legal objection which could
be raised against the increase.

gave it al his opinion that there were no
legal complications.

JOHN SPARKS ON
EQUITABLE TAXATION.

The following article from the Salt
Lake Herald appeared in the SENTINEL
Of August "a, 1901. It shows the ster-
ling character Of she man who has just
been nominated for Governor Of Nevads
by the Fusion Convention. Mr.. Sparks
has never been an ofice-seeker or even
been considered a practical politician,
but even il he were at that time, the
period is so remote that it cannot be
charged that he was laying his wires for
political purposes when this incident
took place:
In these days of tax-dodging capital
lists 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 well-known
cattle breeder of Reno, Nevada.
When Mr.. Sparks received notice Of
his assessment he found that his cattle
had been valued at $50 a head. while
the estimate made on his thoroughbred
bulls was at the rate of 500 each. As
MI. Sparks keeps nothing but the high
est grade stock, he knew these figures
to be far too low. Instead of pocket
ing the difference and congratulating
himself on the ~leniency 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 being assessed at this rate.
In placing his reputation above bis
pocket Mr.. Sparks not only sets a fine
example of honesty, but he demons
strates bis 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 q false light. In short, he ap-
preoiated that his reputation for hon
esty 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 citi-
zen, and if there were more business
men like Mr.. Sparks in the country the
State treasures would be fuller and
assessment rates far lower.
In the majority of cases ta~x-dodging
is looked upon as q 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 therefore
refreshing to find one man who takes a
more exalted view of his duties as a cit
izen. and it is to be hoped that others
will follow his example.
