RIDICULOUS ARGUMENT.

The Democratic candidate for
County Commissioner from District
No. 1, Mr.. Gates, who is also the
present incumbent, uses some very
queer arguments why he should
be reelected. In the first place he
states that the Southern Pacific
railroad company is making fight
for his opponent, Mr.. Flaws, be-
cause the present board raised the
valuation of the road. The fact
of the matter is the railroad COM
pany is taking no hand in the
fight, whatever, as it has no reason
to complain of the treatment of
the present Board. The railroad
company paid something like 500
less in taxes in 1901 than it did
in 1900, and in 1901 it paid on a
valuation of $4,000 per mile,
while in 1900 the valuation was
only about S. 900 per mile, Why
should the Southern Pacific COM
pany be opposing Mr.. Gates? Mr..
Gates is also telling the people
that there is surplus of some
thousands of dollars in the county
treasury, accumulated by his ex-
cellent business methods. 1t is a
fact that there is a surplus of
something like $4,000 or $4,000
i'll the county treasury. The peo-
pie of this valley, and the county
generally, know that the bulk of
the county money has been and
still is deposited in the Bullion
and Exchange bank in Carson
City. Lyon county's money, the
money paid in by the taxpayers,
is therefore being used by the
bank without interest, and the
bank is obtaining all the benefit
derived from the use of the money;
tor the bank loans money only on
a fair rate of interest. When the
time to pay taxes comes around,
it is very often the case that a
number of taxpayers have to Dor
row money to pay their taxes, and
in these cases the singular situa-
ton now exists wherein, if the
money should be borrowed from
the Bullion and Exchange bank,
they would be borrowing their
own money and paying interest
on it at a rate not less than per
cent. This may be a splendid
system of fnanciering for the
bank, but it is lightning on the
people. No county is supposed
to engage in the banking business
with the peoples money. Good,
practical county government is
that which imposes no more taxa
ton upon the people than neces-
sary to carry on the government
of the county. Such a system has
not been followed by Mr.. Gates,
nor will it be if he is again elected.
If our taxpayers have any money
to loan they can arrange for such
business themselves at much bet
ter rates than by placing it in the
county treasury to be handed over
to some bank, which latter institu-
ton reaps all the benefit, except
possibly small commission which
might be paid to the one who was
influential in placing the money
with that certain institution.
