TO Low

Now that the state board OF assessors
has finished its annual labors III fixing
the valuation upon railroads, livestock,
etc. throughout tho state it lis aprop0s TO
refer again to the miserable system OF
taxation which prevails III this state
1t is not our purpose TO criticise the
board OF assessors, FOR they have but
carried out the lime honorcd policy OF
this state to assess IFS property at me
fourth lts real value so that Il tax can
be maintained so high that capital Is
afraid to come into the state.
The entire tax roll OF tire state lis
about thirty. five million GollarF, a sum
that would not construct the Central
Pacific railroad alone across the state.
There Is not q man OF intelligence III
the state TINT does not know that the
valuation of the. property OF Nevada
should reach a sum OF a hundred and
fifty or two hundred millions dollars.
But we can proudly boast that we have a
tax rate OF from three to five per cent.
1t takes Just SO much revenue to sup
port the state end various count!
governments, and 4 has been the policy
OF assessors to turn a tax roll winch
tho necessary revenue, regardless of the
real valuation OF the property. Take
for example, the railroads of the state,
with possibly M exception or two. the.
nra nl1nrTtnn all tln tFullts will hpIlT
and in case OF the Southern Pacific
Company, compel the people OF this
state to pay cxorbitaut back freight
rates, which prohibit the existence 81
Wholesale houses within our midst, ana
for this treatment upon their
part, we reward the company by assess
ing it for twenty per cent " it's real
value.
While more fayoritism is shown tie
railroads thRn TO any other class of tax
payers. there is room Tor much improve
ments among the tax payers generally.
4 few of the counties 10y reason OF un-
fortunate local conditions are FOL ced To
n high assessment OF property, but take
tho big counties OF tho state, such ms
Washoc, Humboldt end Elko. and the
total assessment is ridiculouly low.
Washoe seems proud Of it roll Of ten mil
ions OF dollars, yet that sum wouldn't
buy half the town OF Reno, let alone the
vast interests outside that city.
Nevada is starting in "a new era, and it
is time she made a change in Der syst IN

Saw Her Hubby.

THE athletic girl in 1.-The College
Widow, got fall and bumped her
head pretty hard while the company
was giving performance in Super
ior," said P. D. Routledge, of Eau
Claire, Wis, at the Dacotah to an
Evening Times representative. Il saw
the accident, but did not learn its real
cause until day or two ago. At least,
they tell me 1t was the real cause, but
while the thing may have been worked
out OF the imagination of some roman
tic young person in the audience.
1.-The story has it that the girl is
married but has been separated from
her husband for three or four years,
not being able to get along with him.
AS she came on the stage In Superior
in one of the scenes, she saw hubby
sitting out there in the audience,
pretty well up toward the front, and
as she hadn't set eyes on his face
since their separation. she naturally
was surprised. AS matter of fact
she didn't see him until she had taken
her perch on the fence, and the shock
was so great that she fell over back
wards onto the stage. She probably
tainted before she fell. Anyway, she
was unconscious. and they had to ring
down the curtain for awhile. The man
was called in from the audience, and
a reconciliation brought about. will
not vouch for the truth of the tale,
but It is one which has gained wide
circulation in Superior"

Candy Season On.

A stroll through Geist's store these
cold mornings indicates that the
American palate is thoroughly edu-
Gated for the delicacies which go so
far to make life real pleasure Dur
ing the hot season the counters would
be filled with jolly crowd of people
cooling their palates with the Pa
nous ice cream. Now the same
crowd can be found in the store, but
they are indulging in the sweets-the
chocolates and other candies prepared
by this famous artist in edibles. A
young lady walked into the store dur
ing the visit Of the reporter and ask ID
for a quarters worth of kisses. The
modest newspaper man nearly faint
ed, but when a. half pound of choice
chocolates were wrapped up and pass
ed over the counter to the customer,
he realized that he was rather behind
the times and was too much disposed
to accept the use of the English Ian
guage in a literal sense. But the cir
cumstance showed that the people are
always ready to buy and enjoy good
thinE.

wheel to the Office this morning, and

the homeward trip he walked. Short

it is a fairly good wheel it does not

Miller Smoke.

Crookston Times: The Baptist rally,
which was a series of meetings held
by the different societies of the church
in the past two days. was concluded
last evening ina social and intellectual
session which was held at the church.
The speaker of the evening was Rev.
F. f. r. Miller, pastor of the First
Baptist church of Grand Forks. Rev.
Miller gave a lecture on the cele-
brated Indian poet, James Whitcomb
Riley and during the course of his adj
dress he gaveNseveral selections from
the poet. He. is himself native of
Indiana and has heard Riley give his
poems at different times and he gave
some OF the finest interpretations of
the selections which were ever heard
in the city. A fair sized audience was
in attendance and after the program
a social hour was spent in very en-
joyabfe manner. Refreshments were
served by the ladies of the church and
pastor and people feel that the meet
ings have been a great success.
