1t has been going the rounds Of the
Republican press that Bryan had be-
come enormously wealthy through his
political engagements and the revenue
derived from the Commoner. One
paper reports him as receiving $780,
900 from subscriptions, and that none
OF this money has been used for ex-
penses, alleging that the receipts from
advertising exceed by s125, 900 the cost
of conducting the paper.
Bryan explodes these statements by
saying that outside of his residence, re-
Gently finished, aud the tract of land on
which it was erected, his property, real
and personal, at q fair valuation, might
be considered worth from SIS, 900 to
$40, 600. OF this between $4,000 and
SO, 900 came to him by inheritance.
In 1897 he received as royalty on the
First Battle SIT 900. an equal amount,
the other half of the royalty was distrib-
uted between the various committees
carrying on the campaign for the res
toration of bimetsllism. Since then
his income has been derived mainly
from leoturesJand articles written for
newspapers and periodicals.
Since 1896 he has contributed
$4,000 to advance political reforms,
and to educational, religious and Chart.
able purposes about $4,000.
The Commoner has been q business
success from the start, covering ex-
penses, but not justifying the with
drawal of much money from it. The
paper was not started as q money
making enterprise, but to advance
Democratic principles. 1t had to be
and has been self supporting from the
beginning.
Ii will be published as long as its
patronage will pay running expenses.
and from the encouragement received,
Mr.. Bryan believes it will live as long
as its editor.
The receipts from advertisements
have been restricted because no trust
advertisements have been accepted, be.
cause advertisements unfit to be read
by every member of family have been
rejected, and because the paper has en-
countered prejudice aud opposition
from Republican managers of large
business interests. Still the Commoner
is prosperous and its permancy seems
10 be assured.

TAX DoDcINc A FINE ART.

The art of tax lodging in New York
is just now having a set back. Some
prominent capitalists have been caught
hiring dummies to swear off their per-
sonal property taxes. The dummy. who
hasn't a bean, personates the capitalist
with q good suit Of clothes and g
that he is not worth over $1,000. He
gets IS for this and the capitalist saves
possibly a thousand or more on taxes.
The District Attorney has arrested
several prominent men and will send
them along the line of legal punish.
ment to the full limit.
The remedy that he suggests is to
publish a list annually of the names Of
all tax payers With the amount of taxes
they pay.
This is copying after the Nevada
method. which was adopted in this
State about ten years ago. It gives
publicity to the tax roll, and each man
can tell how much taxes his neighbor
is paying.
It has worked 80 we'll that all at
tempts on the part of the tax dodger TO
repeal it has ed.-Carson Appeal.
But thsdaw requiring the tax rolls to
be published for the inspection of tax
payers and others interested in assess.
ments. is not always complied with.
In Humboldt county it has been COM
pletely ignored by the assessor. Con-
gresham Van Duzer showed in the
Winnemucca Silver State about three
years ago that there was at least $24,-
000. 900 Of assessable property in Hum
boldt county, yet the assessment roll
showed less than four millions. Thus
$40. DOC. 900, or three-fourths of the
entire property of the county, escaped
assessment and taxation.
The same is true in four or five other
counties. The law should be strictly
enforced, for such methods increases
the rate of taxation and gives the State
the reputation of being heavily taxed.
This keeps capital away and prevents
its being invested in industries the de-
velopment of which would largely in
creas the prosperity of the State and
the people. 1t also keeps men Of
smaller means from settling in Nevada,
for no one wants to settle where prop
erty is taxed to the verge of c~onfscation.
Let the assessors do their duty. Hold
them to strict account for compliance
with the law. If it be ignored enforce
The penalty for its violation.

The heirs of Mrs. Charles Fair, who,
with her husband, was killed in an auto
mobile accident in France last August,
have commenced an action in the New
York courts to set aside an agreement
which they entered into with Mrs.
Theresa Oelrichs and Mrs. Virginia Van
derbilt. sisters Of Charles Fair, not TO
start a contest over the estate.
BY the agreement Mrs. Nelson was to
receive $125 900 and her daughters jew
elry. valued at 500, 900.
II wss claimed at the time that under
the California laws Mr.. Fair outlived his
wife and therefore his relatives were en-
titled to his estate estimated at Sc, OOO,-
600.
Mrs. Fairs relatives now say that they
are prepared to prove that she lived 80
minutes longer than her husband and as
he had executed q will leaving his entire
estate to her. they are entitled to the
whole OF it.
1t is alleged that when the defendants
offered the settlement, which was accept
ed, they well knew that Mrs. Far out
lived her husband and that the state
ment that she died before was made to
defraud them out of the estate.

LEGISLATIVE NOTES.

A re-apportionment bill introduced BY
Bell OF Nye provides for more assembly
men for Nye county and also for Elko.
Both Houses Of the Nevada Legislature
adjourned Wednesday out Of respect to
Senator j. A. Miller OF Lander county,
whose wife died 10 Oakland, California,
on Tuesday.
Senator Jackson is the author Of Q bill
that will bring the tax dodgers to time.
It makes the Assessor q commission
officer. The more property the Assessor
can find to assess the bigger grows his
pay. 1t is q good bill and ought 10 greatly
increase the assessment roll.-Reno Led
ger.
Senator Bell OF Nye county is opposing
the effort being made to remove the
county seat from Belmont to T~onopah.
II is stated that Mr.. Bell has circulated .
petition or agreement among the mem
bers Of the Senate to secure q signed
pledge that they will not interfere or vote
for any bill changing county boundaries or
county seats. The people of the county
outside Of Tonopsh are opposed to the
removal, and while Senator Bell is also
opposed, he has introduced q joint re-
solution in~structing our representatives
in Congress to request that q direct tri-
weekly mail service be established be-
tween Tonopah and the present county
seat, instead of the weekly service now
in operation. The Senator believes that
this increased service will meet the
requirements Of Tonopah.
A bill has been introduced by Trem-
bath of Storey to provide for the re-
endorsement of DIR. Stubs and others
for building q presidents cottage on the
University grounds at Reno. The amount
called for was not read, but it is thought
about $4,000 will be asked for. The build.
ing of the cottage has caused consider
able discussion at several sessions OF the
Legislature, and most Of the members
have SHE'D at reimbursing the parties
who advanced the money to build the
cottage. An effort was made several
years ago to raise the amount necessary
to build this cottage by popular subscrip-
ton in the different counties of the State.
The movement did not meet with ap-
prevail and the subscription lists we're
withdrawn. In the Assembly Tuesday q
motion to lay this measure on the table
was only defeated by one vote.

Senator Hunter is getting the views Of
his constituents on the irrigation bill and
other measures before the Legislature.
He finds the sentiment OF the ranchers
solidly against the irrigation bill. 1t is
contended that the machinery of the bill
is unwieldy and that it will prove very
expensive to the people if enacted into
law in its present shape.

Assembly Bill No. 8, introduced by
Assemblyman Averill, should certainly
pass. The object of the measur is to
compel ~locaters OF claims to do their as
sessment work or give some one else a
chance. 1t has become the practice of
parties in certain sections of the State to
locate a claim, do no assessment work,
but at the end of 80 days relocate the
ground and so ON indefinitely. Investi-
CATION Of the matter has shown that
~"pencil" miners held as high as twenty
claims, but have never done one dollars
worth Of assessment work.

DOES NOT AFFECT THE SITUATION
Proceedings for Divorce Against the
Crown Princess Will Go On.

Dresden, February THE separation
of former Crown Princess Louise and
Professor Giron does not change the
present legal situation and will not have
the slightest effect on the divorce pro-
ceedings, which will be resumed Feb
ruary 11th. The princess can never
return to the Saxon court, but she may
possibly effect a reconciliation with her
own family and take up a permanent
residence in Austria.
King George called a council of the
ministers today and submitted to them
a telegraphic request from the former
crown princess, sent through her law
yers, begging to see her son, Chris
tian who is dangerously i'll. The decis-
ion, however, was that much as the
ministers might sympathize with the
mother, it was impossible to allow her
to return here as it would occasion pop
ular excitement.

Geneva, Switzerland, February T.

cess Of SaXony today received a tele-
gram from Dire sden definitely refusing
