A VERY BAD RECORD

The failure of the board Of assessors
10 place q valuation on the Southern
Pacific thar would compel it to pay
something nca lis just proportion of
taxes has raised u storm of criticism.
The Reno Journal asks Who Pays the
Tax and answers it rs follows.
Southern Pacific valuation from its
own records j. $40. $50 IA mile. South.
ern Pacific assessment is $lS, 800 Il mile
or i2.5 per cent. Sheep are assessed at
500 a head, the full market value on
the range; beef cattle are assessed nj
81 a head; fully 81 per cent of their
valuc. Stock cattle are assessed at $l5
a head or GO per cent of their value.
The railroad earns its own statcmcnt}.
SO, 390.50 Il mile or 81 per rent on its
valuation in the year for which the fig
ures were made, 1901. Does this cor
poration pay its share Of the states tx.
pense or does 90 per cent of the burden
fall on the people! Read the record Of
the assessors, how they voted and then
show them their standing by your
votes
According 70 the sworn figures Of
Auditor Se2sr, she main line Of the
Southern Pacific in Nevada is valued at
Sit6.936.5 3 Per mile. If this is the
valuation placed an the road by the
owners it seems strange that the assess.
Ors fixed its valuation at the mcasly
sum Of $500 per mile. The reasons.
whatever they may have been. doubtless
se:rned good to them. How the
people who pay taxes upon a much
higher valuation than that placed npon
the railroad will view their reasons is a
horse Of another color. Perhaps, the
assessors do not care what the people
think 50 long as the railroad company is
satisfied.
As given i'll the report of the meeting
Of the board, several votes were taken
before the valuation of tho Southern
Pacific vas finally fixed at SIS. 300.
The first motion was to fix the valuation
ut Sl7, 800 per mile. Assessor Randall
of Lyon county offered an amendment
to make il $50. 900, but Withdrew il and
offered another making it So 600. This
amendment was voted down by the fol.
lowing vote; .
Ayes, Wyatt. Of Douglas; Randall. of
Lyon: Regain, of Ormsby; Heinrich, of
story.
Noes, Wightman, of Churchill; Wealth.
ers, of Elko: Bradley. of Esmcralda;
Nc. Ticrncy. of Eureka: Leonard. of
Humboldt; RocdCr. Of Lincoln: Owens.
of Nyc; Miles, of White Pine.
a vote was then taken on 800. 900 per
mile and the roll call showed the follow.
ing voting for it.: Wyatt. Randall:
Ovens, Rcgaii. IIcnrichs and Miles.
When this proposition was defeated,
Owens Of Nyo moved to make tho valua.
ton $4,000. The vote Oh this resulted
in Il tic and the governor refused to
decide 1t. Those voting for SlS, 800 per
milo were Wyatt. Bradley. Owens.
Randall, Rcgan, IIcnrichs and Miles
Il second vote was takcn and Lcmairc
of Lander changed his vote to Y and
carried the motion. Those voting
against the $ls,5 800 proposition were
Wightman. Weathcrs. McTicrncv.
Leonard, Rocdcr.
From this record. 1t will be seen that
Assessor Wcathcrs voted against every
proposition to fix the valuation OF tho
Southern Pacific at q reasonable figure
IL the people Of Elko county hold him
responsible for this record, he has no
II to blame hut himself.

CROP REPORT
FOR The WEEK

Des Moines, June 29.-Last week
was warm with frequent showers and
excessive humidity. The mean tenn
perature was 2 to 4 degrees above the
weekly normal and the rainfall was
considerably above the average except
over the south central and southeast
counties where it was very light. AL
though the rainfall was heavy and in
some localities excessive, it was bene-
fetal over the eastern and extreme
western counties, but over the upper
half Of the Des Moines valley. where
the amounts were the largest, the eff
feet will be injurious, on fiat and bot
tom lands. As most of the showers oc-
Cured at night there was nearly the
normal amount OF sunshine and while
the ground, in many sections, was too
wet to work most of the time, fair
progress was made in cleaning the
corn fields ard majority Of them are
row in good condition. and replanting

southern districts.

DolLiper Discovers a
NeW One in Trusts
Washington Bureau of
The OttumWa Courier,
washington. D. C., June 20


Senator Dolliver has discovered a
brand new trust, right under the nose
of Senator Lodge. In fact, its habitat
is about three miles from the nome of
the Massachusetts, senator. but the lat
ter didn't know it existed. AS result
of the discovery, one very important
item of duty in the tariff will be pulled
down.
Senator Lodge was talking about
the duty on hides, explaining how
the shoe manufacturers buy their
leather from the tanners.
HAS the senator information ena-
bling him to state whether the shoe
makers buy directly from the tan
ners?" asked Dolliver.
Il certainly so understand" said
Mr.. Lodge.
"Well," said Dolliver, "the fact is
that between the shoe manufacturer
and the tanner stands the man manu-
featuring vamps, forms and soles. I'm
der this bill the maker Of sole leather
gets per cent, the shoe manufacturer
gets nominal duty and the manu-
facturer OF soles cut into shape gets
40 per cent, which seems to me"
Il think the senator is mistaken
about that interjected Mr.. Lodge.
And I think I am correct about
that" retorted Mr.. Dolliver. Then he
proceeded to read the language of the
bill, from various paragraphs and pro-
visos, showing that sole leather is du-
table at per cent, but when cut into
soles it gets 40 per cent, while the
shoe itself gets 20 per cent. He show
ed that uppers, vamps, soles and heels
are in fact cut and manufactured sep
arately, and sold to all the shoemakers
in the country by little group of con-
Germs at Lynn, which has 40 per cent
protection and yet whose existence
was not known by the finance commit
tee When he made the explanation
Senator Lodge apologized with:
"To tell the truth, my mind was en-.
tirely occupied with the duty on
hides"
Next day the finance committee
people looked into the Dolliver allega
lions, and ne was promptly hunted up
/ He was found to be correct and 1t was
agreed that O. 40 per cent on the cut
UP parts for shoes. while the shoe
gets half that protection, was an alb
surdity. So the absurdity will be re
moved by REIMBURSEMENT which will
deprive the vamp, upper and hee
trust of its high protection.
! How that duty has managed to per
sist, affording a bulwark for bust
ness which has come to monopolize
such an immense trade, and to make
{ practically all shoe manufacturer
tributary to it, is still an unanswerable
question. But 1t has been there, tariff
after tariff.
