WHY YNOTLEVY
MORE VALUE

There Is a lot OF talk by property
owners OF this city about the injustice
OF the system that allows q person or
an estate to hold vacant lots at high
same.
Some lots on Carson Street are
held at thousands of dollars and pay
taxes on valuation of very few
hundred. One man stated to The
Appeal that he Is willing to give $1,000
for one piece of property that is taxed
made this offer. even carried the
money around with him for a time eX-
pecting I hat he might be able to buy
the property. The owners refused TO
sell. though the prospective purchaser
wanted to build upon the property.
improve 1t and do away with va.
cant. grass and weed grown place
that is of no use to anyone now and
is merely an eyesOre in the city.
Such as this should be taxed at the
valuation offered for it at least. as
the offer not being taken. is perfOrce
less than the value placed upon it by
the owners.
Carson City is up against it for
funds. or will be shortly, and one
reason is that the property of the
city does rNt turn in sufficient money
on the rate of valuation pursued. The
Sheriff is not to blame tor that state
of AFFAIRS. 1 Is the system under
which taxes are levied, system his
predecessors pursued. system
sanctioned by law and a system that
ultimately will be reformed.
When person holds a piece OF
property at $1,000 and then refuses
that price for 1t. logical assessment
would be something based upon the
owners valuation of the property. not
a perfunctory valuation of $40 or
5000. The tax laws of Nevada are
woefuily defective and should be re-
vised by the next Legislature. AS
SCISSORS of each county could do much
but again is the time-ha!lowed Gus
tom to which they are bound. which
so far has prevented an intelligent
valuation Of all the property OF any
county in the State.

CRUSADE ENDS
IN DEFEAT

For years DR.. II. W. Wiley has car
products. 1t was DR.. Wiley who in
trOduced and had enacted into law
various measures prohibiting the use
of poisonous drugs in the preserva-
ton of meat, among others, benZOate
OF soda, used freely by packing houses
to "sweeten' foul and decaying meat.
1t was benzoate of soda that was
prohibited under heavy penalty. This
prOhibitive measure has interferred
with the profits of the beef trust; and
profits under Republicanism are OF in
tinitely more consequence that human
life
On March Sd, the day before R0ose-
welt retired from Office, an order sign
ed by Secretary of the Treasury Cor
telyou, Secretary of Agriculture Will
Wilson and Secretary Of Commerce
and Labor Straus was issued, setting
aside the decision of the pure food
commission, thereby giving the pack
ers the privilege of again "embalm-
ing their beef
This order. coming from the adj
ministratlon enables the packers to
put meat on the market in such
state of decay as to be unfit for hui
man consumption, but with the ,rse OF
benZOate of soda the foul OdO" is re-
moved and the meat made apparently
fresh and palatabie.
The order reversing the decision OF
the pure food commission which nad
made extensive experiments showing
the poisonous effects of henZoate OF
soda. was issued secretly the day be-
fore Roosevelt retired from Office and
kept from the public for two months
thereafter.
This act is an appropriate finale to
ROoseveits sham battle against the
beef trust. 1t is another exhibition
of his hypocrisy and duplicity. 1t
ought to convince any man, -ith
brain as large as q beetleo o, nat he
publicanism, in whatever form, like
embalmed beef is rotten through and
rough.

WHAT MIGHT HAVE BEEN

James G.. Fair is we'll remembered
in Nevada. His eldest daughter, the
widow of the late Herman Oelrichs.
has figured In the newspapers very
largely all her life, and here is the
very latest from the Denver Times:
-Ae sympathy of all wrong think
ing people will be extended to Mrs.
Herman Oelrichs, nee Fair, in her
passionate protest against the en-
trance of Mrs. Thomas r. Walsh in
to the monkey charmed and the
snake charming society of Newport.
Mrs. Oelrichs may justly claim to be
the leading snobess Of this country.
She is the daughter of a plain, good,
ignorant mother and a lucky father
lucky in fortune if not in progeny.
But for that fathers luck she might
have been married to a Shift boss at
virginia City, and be now patching

THE MARKET

Operations in the Nevada mining
stock issues were resumed yesterday
in a generally weaker market. The
buying orders that accumulated over
the holidays were so light that it did
not require much pressure to send
prices down in ali the groups, but
aside from the cuts in GOldfeld Con-
sOlidated and Florence there were no
marked declines at the first session.
These and most of the other Gold
field stocks were weaker on the New
York curb where there seems to be
a bear drive against Consolidated by
Eastern parties who are reported to
be dissatisfied with the election OF
George Wingfield as preslnent of the
corporation.
On the early call Goldtield
Consolidated, which closed at $40 on
Friday last, opened with a sale of 200
shares at $3.50 and then sold freely
only buyers. The leaders, drop
weakened most of the other Goldfields
Plenty OF Fraction was for safe at
IS cents by Robinson and others.
Florence declined sharply TO $3.10 and
the best bid for Daisy was 80 cents.
The Tonopahs were dull with a
general small reduction in the bidding
prices and no sales outside of 1000
Jim Butler that changed hands at 10
cents.
Nevada Hills was weak with sales
at 1.30@l l.25 on a report that Wing
field would not exercise his option On
a controlling interest in the sock.
Pittsburg Silver Peak was quot ed at
90 cents Bid, 55 cents asked and Raw
hide Coalition at "a cents bid, %
cents asked. Mayflower had a sharp
decline to 9 cents on sales of 1900
shares and closed on the call at 5
cents bid and 10 cents asked.
Nearly all the Comstocks reopened
with weaker prices, few inside bro
kers being moderate sellers of the
leading north end and Gold Hill
stocks.
