SCHOOL TAX AMENDMENT.
More Votes for Than Against, But
Not a Majority Of All Votes Cast

Austin, Tex, Nov. 10.-The ques-
ton as to whether or not the constr
tutional amendment permitting the
leyying of a so cent tax on the Sl00
valuation OF property by a majority
vote of any common school district,
may have to be finally determined In
the courts of the state. School men
generally over the state. including
Prof. r. b. Cousins, state superintend-
ent of public instruction, maitain that
the proposed amendment prevailed at
the election held last Tuesday, while
the contention has been raised by
certain North Texas newspaper that
the amendment failed. 1t is claimed
by this newspaper that it requires a
majority of the total votes at the re-
cent election for governor or other Of
fetal which received the maximum of
the votes, while the schoolmen and
the state department of education are
of the opinion and belief that it only
requires a majority of the votes cast
for that particular amendment in or
der for it to carry.
The governor in due time will have
to issue his proclamation announcing
the adoption of rejection of the
amendments and this may settle the
question. Unless it does. Superin-
tendent Cousins said the matter would
be taken into the courts. He replied
that this was for the attorney they
would employ to decide. Professor
Cousins maintains that the language
of the constitution is clear and plain
on this question as to a majority Of
the votes cast for an amendment and
he cannot see how a different con
struction can be placed on the constl-
tuition with the hope that 1t will be
upheld

NEVADA--ONCE SILL
YER STATE; NOW GOLD
And for Years Lost Sight Of But
is Now One Of the Foremost
Gold Producers

Prior to 1900 Nevada had produced
like one billion ounces of
silver The Comstock lode yielded
a vast amount Of bullion from below
1900 feet under the surface. Other
great deposits, some OF silver and
some of exclusively silver contribut-
ed their share, and the bulk of this
silver came from comparatively deep
workings. Nevada was known in
those days as the "Silver State"
In 1873 the average price paid for
silver for coinage by the United
States was S3.314 an ounce. In 1890
it had deprecated to 90 cents an
ounce. AMI in the year 1908 it has
been Huctuating around from 80 cents
TO 60 cents an ounce. The price of
silver has ben affected by supply and
demand, legislation. and administra-
tiOn policies: and also by the produc-
ton Of gold 1t is reasonable to pre-
sumo that silver will continue in the
future TO command a price we'll above
the cost of production. where the
mines supplying silver have ore in
sufficient quantity and Of high enough
grade to justify mining.
