THE RAILROAD VALUATION.

Elko Independent, Jan. 16: A great
deal Of fault is being found with the
valuation placed on the railroad by the
State Board of Assessors. Those who
criticise the action Of the Board over
look the fact that other property in the
State is assessed on the same basis. 1t
is doubtless true that the valuation
placed upon the railroad is far below its
actual cash value. but the same is true
of the valuations placed upon other
property. with the possible exception
of stock cattle. The Independent can
not see the justice in jamming the rail-
road up to the limit aud letting fully
one half of the other property in the
State escape taxation.
If the present system of assessing
property does not bring satisfactory
results, the Legislature that meets next
Monday should provide q system that
will. The last Legislature made start
in the right direction and its successor
should keep up the good work. The
duties Of the assessors should be plainly
set forth and heavy penalties should be
prescribed for failure to perform them.
Experience has proven that the State
Board of Assessors. as at present con-
stituted is failure. This part of the
law should be smended and q board
created with sufficient powers to accom-.
plish something for the State.
If the Legislature takes hold of the
matter in the proper spirit, law will
be passed that will deal Justly with all
species Of property and the assessed
valuation of the State can be doubled
without injustice to any corporation or
individual.

THE PRICE OF SILVER.

II is gradually becoming clear TO the
perceptions OF those interested that the
decline in the price Of silver is not due
to the demonstration of that metal,
but rather to the com binstions of the
manufacturers of silverware. A little
inquiry will demonstrate this fact, says
Ores and Metals of Denver. The price
Of silverware, either solid or plated is
practically the same as when the mar
ket price of silver was twice what it is
now, while the production has not de-
clined in any such proportion as to ac-
count for the maintenance in the price
of the manufactured article. If silver
ware was placed on the market at o
price in proportion to the quotations on
silver bullion, it would be but trife
higher than plated ware, the expense of
plating being very nearly as great in
small articles as the value of the silver
eliminated. In Denver a set OF solid
silver tablespoons, weighing ten and a
half ounces of silver, .925 fine. retais
for S11. The actual value of the silver
contained is but S4.69. In these days
of machinery the cost Of manufacture
is mere trihe, probably not to exceed
81. Add 25 per cent for profit, which is
not far from what is charged on nom
patented articles, and the cost TO the
consumer should be but trifle more
than 81. As it is. the manufacturer and
retailer are unloading silver on the pub
lie at profit Of nearly 100 per cent.
All the silver that can be produced will
be used in the arts and manufacturers
and for subsidiary coinage. There is
never any difficulty in disposing of the
output. The facts given offer field for
enterprise that might be utilized by
manufacturing near the centers of pro
duction.
