Why Flanagan Runs

The only excuse for the candidacy Of
P. J. Flanagan for United States
Senator lies in the hope he entertains
that he may assist in reversing the an
nouncol plan of the interior department
to Conserve the resources of the country
and OF Nevada as incident thereto. that
he may restrict the creation of forest
reserves and that he may assist in the
passage of law that will admit the
sheep owner to the national forest
practically free to continue grazing
thousands of sheep on hundreds of
wooded and brushy hills that under Il
wise policy based upon the principle of

Should the American workingman
make a: study of the; schedules of the
present unjust and burdensome Ding
ley tariff law under which a few ia
vored individuals amass enormous for
times at the expense of their fellows
he would discover a few facts Of in
terest to himself and family For
years the average family has been tar
iff taxed at the rate Of 500 or more
annually. But this is not all. The
schedules are so fixed. as to discrimi-
nate between the wealthy and the
poorer classes. Examining these SEIZED.
ules, the workingrnan would find that
these inequalities exist: r'" '+ s:
Cheap gloves worn by workingmen
WORTH $4,53, a dozen are taxed SO per
cent. Imported gloves for moneyed
men worth $41 dozen are taxed IA
per cent. !
Wooden or worsted cloth worn by
workingmen worth 80 cents pound is
taxed 1876 per cent. The same goods
costing SLIP a pound, the cloth worn
by money9d men, is taxed only 81 per
cent.
Wool blankets worth 30 cents a
pound are taxed 1865 per cent through
the tariff, while those worth $1.O5 per
pound are taxed only II per cent.
Women and children's gloves worth
$4.2O per dozen-about the right price
for the workingman's wife and fam
ily-pay a tariff tax of IS per cent
while gloves of finer quality, worth
$10,0S per dozen, pay a tariff tax of
only 81 per cent.
Iron or steel trousers buckles worth
8 cents per hundred are taxed at n
per cent, but if they are fancy buckles
worth $129 per hundred the tariff is
only 26 per cent.
Watch movements worth So cents arc
taxel Sc per cent, while those worth
$50 each are taxed only 30 per cent.
Fur hats and bonnetS worth So so
per dozen are taxed 81 per cent, while
those. worth $22,50 per dozen are, taxed
only47 per cent.
Pushes and similar fabrics worth
36 cents per pound are taxed 142 per
cent, but those at $40 per pound are
taxed only 95 per cent.
Knit fabrics worth 36 cents per pound
are taxed al per cent, but those at
$l.O7 per pound beyond the working
mans reach, are only taxed 90 per
cent.
And so it goes down through the long
schedules discriminating against the
poorer. and in favor of the richer citi-
zen. Is it any wonder that the work
ingmal finds it harder than ever to
supply the wants of his family. -Ex-

A LESSON In ECONOMY

A comparison of the tax rates of the
different counties of the state during
republican and democratic administra-
tions is about as good a lesson in the
result of economic management of state
affairs as can he found.
This comparison will show that the
tax rate has declined steadily ever since
the democratic party took control of
state affairs and it can be said and
proved that the wealth of the state has
risen over 100 per cent during the same
period.
An axiom of tax fixing is that as
values increase rates should decline but
while the republican party was in
power this was not true for it was not
until after the democratic party had
been in power for nearly two years was
there any appreciable decline in the
rates.
In 1897, during the administration of
Governor Stevenson, republican, after
IL succession of republican administers
tons, the tax rate by counties was:
Churchill county, $40; Douglass
county $40; Elko county, S1.OO Es-
meralda county, $2.7O: Eureka county.
Sl75; Humboldt county, $3.50; Lander
county, $3.50, Lincoln county. So. 70;
Lyon county, So 10; Nye County, So. 55;
Ormsby county, S1.65; Storey county,
T1HO; Washoe county, 500; White
Pine county, $985.
From 1895, when the democrats again
resumed the management of state
affairs the rate has declined steadily
despite the long years of business de.
preston noticed up to 1900. ana the
decline has persisted until the present
day.
The following table shows the rate
for the var 1908:
