NEVADA PRESS


All. Chsrtz In Gardnerville Courier.
have never said that Mr.. Newlands
was the author Of the tax laws passed
by the Legislature Of 1903. / claim that
those laws were passed in the interest
Of railroad corporations. and l have not
a word to take back. II Mr.. Newlands
wants the credit Of passing those laws,
he is welcome to it. ] am glad to note
that the working of those laws is begin.
ming to attract quite general attention.
The County Commissioners who are
under the thumb of railroad power are
raising valuations to the full limit,
everywhere, and thus fixing valuations
that subsequent Boards, acting as
Boards Of Equal ~zation, will find diff
fcult to lower, thus. saddling the brunt
of the burden Of government upon the
great middle class who are engaged in
business. and upon homes. The valua-
ton of railroad property is fixed, set,
determined, and l repeat it, fixed, and
/ mean it. The ~apologists of the law
say it is not true. Let Us see: The
Board of Assessors met last Winter.
and fixed, set and determined the valua-
ton Of the Southern Pacific Railroad
at $4,000 per mile. Oh, but they say,
this valuation can be raised text year.
Yes, it can-if it is possible to elect
honest men to Office, along the line
of the road. But what was the duty
Of the Assessors off the line of the road
and what is the duty CT Boards
of Equalization, who are brought face
to face with the facts that the railroad
valuation is fixed, set aud determined
at t15. 900 a mile?
1t is a plain duty that no honest man
can mistake, and no brave man fail to
follow: They should fix, set and deter
mine the valuation of all other property
on the basis that the railroad is worth
only $4,000 a mile, and arrive at as
close a proportion as they can How
can they equalize taxation any other
way? How can they impose the bur-
dens Of government so hat every back
will bear its share Of the weight accord
ing to its ability, otherwise? There is
no more sacred duty on the face of the
earth to perform than the equalization
of taxation, and make every individual
and every association of individuals pay
proportionately his or their share of the
amount of protection which he or they
receive by virtue of our social compact.
Boards of Equalization are authorized.
and justified under their oaths, to utter
ly disregard every law which conflicts
with their power to equalize taxation.
1t is their paramount duty, and every
man who knowingly fails to perform
that duty is a traitor to the Republic,
and a practical anarchist, in this: he
takes from the pockets of n to give to
another. This question of equal taxa
ton must be made a campaign issue;
we will then have an issue worth fight
ing for. Line up the political dema-
gogues and let us see where they stand.
