NEVlN AND THE REVENUE

The Ely Expositor makes an un-
just attack on James Nevin and
claims that his Office is a useless one
If the editor of the Expositor will
take the pains to examine the Con
trollers report for the years that
Nevin has been dischaging his duties
in looking after bullion tax and Ii
cense collecting he will find that the
state has been the gamer TO the ex
tent of several hundred thousand dol
lars.
The Office has paid for itself more
than any other Office in the state
At the last session of the Iegisla
ture there was raid upon the Office
instigated by the people who don
want to pay bullion taxes or liGuo
or gaming licenses and when the
true character of the attack wa.
shown up and the facts and figures
submitted to the legislature III
scheme failed 1t is too late to re

REPORTS ARE
COMING In
From ali Sections and
Special Session May
be Called

Many communication regarding
he holding Of a special session OF
the legislature were received at the
Governors Office today and while
few districts are yet % be f~eard
from it seems the general opinion to
Cay is hat the session will be call
ed.
From general appearance several
questions Will be presented TO the
lawmakers If they convene III this
city and they are liable to go the
limit OF a twenty day session. Rep
sasentatives Of Reno banks have
been in this city for the past couple
days looking up q proposition which
the hackers claim Will relieve the
present financial condition Of the
state AMI do away with the paper
now in circulation.
The idea - to let the lax law re
main as | is at the present. Afer
the segregation Of the tax money
the state treasury and county and
city rreasurers are to loan the
surplus money to the banks. they to
receive a ssecurity national. state
and municipal bonds. This will put
a vast amount Of coin into the vaults
OF the bank and to a large extent
place them on a cash basis.
SO far as we can learn the idea
is that the law shall only remain
in effect until the next regular ses-
sion Of the legislature wnen il is to
Tat time confidence will be restored
and money plentiful. The banks will
then redeem their securities and the
state. counties and cities will resume
on their former basis.
Attorneys claim that under the
constitution of the state that will not
De permitted but the matter is now
being thoroughl ythreshed out to
see if such move would be legal.
Suggestions are being n ade daily
as to enactments the Legislature
should turn their attention to pro,
vided they are called by the govern
Or.
Tomorrow would really be about
the last day that coul dhe taken tC
call session of the law makers il
any action is to be taken in regard tt
the taxes of the present year and i
is believed by many that the procla
nation may be issued tomorrow b!

statement has been made by the

THE RAILROAD BATTLE
Both Sides Laying in Ammunition for
i A Good Scrimmage.

The indications are there will be a
lively railroad fight during the sess-
ion and both sides are girding up
their loins preparatory to the final
struggle. There has been consider
aDlt OBJECTION raised TO the creation
OF commission it being charged by
many that the scheme was hatched
by several persons looking for fat,
easy jobs. In spite of this, however,
it appears that the commission will
be the final solution of the question.
A bill is now being prepared to be
introduced in the senate fixing max
imum rate of probably ten cents the
ton the mile, one half the present
rate, and the fixing of the maximum
passenger rate at 5 cents.
New roads will not be compelled
to observe the maximum rates the
first year.
In addition to these maximums it
is intended to have a railway COM
mission provided for in the bill which
will have the power and authority
to regulate, adjust and classify
freight rates This bill it is expected
will be introduced in the senate within
the next week

WHOSE FAULT IS It
No Appropriation to do Business With
For the State

The state papers are full of criti-
cism of the way the Western Union
and other corporations dodge taxes
! Here is an article from the Goldfieli
Review ON the Western Union:
! The laws of the state of Nevada
require that all foreign corporations
doing business within it's borders,
shall, within so many days after the
beginning of the calender year, file
with the Secretary of State, an ac-
count Of their receipts and expendi-
lures. In compliance with that re-
quirement the Secretary of the West
ern Union Telegraph company has fl
ed a statement to the effect that The
company's receipts have been $4S,a71.-
So and their expenditures S96,S03 76.
This is probably one of the most pal
pable cases of juggling with figures
that has ever come to the notice of
the state authorities and carries with
it a disregard of the statutes that
borders on he insolent
With the exception of the main line
railroad companies the Western I'm
ion Telegraph company is undoubt-
edly doing a larger business than all
the other companies combined. In
deed, it is a well known fact that the
business the company is doing in Gold
field alone amounts to more in
month than the secretary gives for
the whole state in year. If it were
otherwise how could the company
keep force of twenty or more ct
work night and day in their Office
in this district. 1t is safe to say that
the expenses of the Goldfield office
itself exceeds $4,000 year, so where
do Tonopah, Carson L.ty, Reno, Vir-
ginia City, Ely and other prominent
towns in the state come in?
Evidently, in returning these figures
the purpose of the Western Union
is to beat some statute which re-
quires' percentage payment on their
profits, but in this they should be Cir
cumvented, if the power lies within
the province of tie state government.
i Their work is too raw altogether.
The writer thinks he can throw
some light on the sumject.
At the last session Of the legisla.
ture the Ways and Means committee
thought they would economize in some
direction and SO took away form the
yvhn ic h.
editor of the Appeal, the $4,000 fol
prosecuting delinquents. One man
; opposed it on the ground that the
Controller ought not 10 have too mucl
power and might squander the money
and others voted to discontinue il
b on the grounds that very little o1
the appro ration had been used the
year before.
The main object was to tie the Off
Gals hands SO that he could do moth
ing in the way OF collecting delinquen
taxes or enforce the laws.
This crippled condition of the offic
has emboldened tax dodgers to bill
the state as they please. These me
u ought to be prosecuted and sent t
Jail but they will not be until som
one has the power and the authorit
and the money to do it. This lack {
funds for which the Ways and Mean
committee of the last session is n
sponSible, has lost the state at lea;
IL 100000 last year N insurance pena
lles alone which might have been &C
lected and turned into the State Trea
