vent the accident. The man is now

juries that will probably cause his
death.
Ed Robb in speaking Of the acci-
dent said that the man was just
toward the west when the engine,
which was backing up, and which
was not sounding a bell or whistle,
struck him. he was knocked to the
ground between the rails and pushed
aleng under the trucks until his body
was crumpled like a ball.
All who witnessed the accident eX-
pected to see the unfortunate man
pulled from beneath the trucks OF
the engine crushed and breeding. but
instead he did not appear to nave a
single cut. He was placed in an eN-
press wagon and carried to the Sis
ters Hospital where he was attended
by DR.. Heppner. reports state that
Perattos spine is dislocated at the
fifth rib and that he has other very
serious internal injuries.
All who We're present when the
man was hurt declare that no whistle
was sounded and that there was no
warning whatever TO Perauo that he
was in danger.-Reno Gazette.

HALF ENOUGH
IN ALREADY

Over 100 shares in the proposed
association the Promotion committee
is fostering have been reserved to
date and it ooks as IL the associa-
ION is a go.
The promotion committee sent out
1000 notices in the city asking for
opinions in the matter and the re-
plies are beginning to come in ropid-
ly. Some are in favor of il and sub
scribed for stock. Some take one
share and others take more, but me
result SO far is that the association
if formed will have according to
month to start on.
The Association should have twice
this much in order to start active
work at once. Ii may not be general
ly known that the Promotion Commit
upon whicn it could build tomorrow il
ii had the funds with which to start.
An income of 81 900 a month would
put the association in a position to
start the building Of TWO or three
$2500 cottages. AS soon as finished
the regular monthly payments upon
thSse would augment the regular
stock installment payments and the
money begin to double very fast.
The Committee wants it understood
that there is to be no fat job for any
person in this proposed association.
The committee estimates tne total eX-
penses of management at not more
than $500 a year, including taxes and
insurance. There will, therefore. be
little deduction from the income tor
management expenses the bane of AL
cooperative societies. When the sub
criptions reach 200 shares. the Promo
tion committee will call another meet
ing TO hear reports, to adopt the by
laws of the association and to start
active work in the matter.

AN IDEA THAT
SOUNDS GOOD

Editor Appeal:
There is a Commercial Club in this
city which is endeavoring to devise
some means of bettering financial
conditions in Carson City.
At recent meeting it was proposed
to rebate three years taxes to peo-
pie who would build houses on vacant
lots in this city. Now this is very
excellent plan and ii it works might
it not be Il good idea to tell people
who built houses on these lots that
they would never be taxed Tor i'm
prOvements. Ii such a plan was ad-
opted it would simply mean that We
were entering upon the sing.e tax plan
advocated by the late Henry George.
But first get your vacant lot. 1t Is
a custom in Carson City and a most
ancient one, that no one with a va
cant lot on Ais hands ever sells it.
He prefers the lot to the money.
where people have agreed to sci, va
cant lots and when the buyer came
with the money the price would be in,
stantly raised and the price would
continue to raise until the sale was
Off. Ii stranger comes TO Carson
City TO invest and build he can't get
lot TO build on unless he is fool
enough to pay double price for the
lot
Senator Newlands tried years ago
for months to buy lot in Carson CTS
on watch to build a fine residence.
Here is a stranger" said the realty
owner, lets soak him good" I'm
willing to be soaked good he went to
Reno where the realty owners met
him with open arms and allowed him
to almost name his own figures. They
figured that it was a good thing TO
have capitalist come to Reno and
spend his money. They We're too
sharp to frignten him away with high
priced real estate as every one does
in Carson City when an outsider
wants to build. Now there is an easy
way TO circumvent the man who
values land as such price that no
one will ever buy and improve it.
Tax him at exactly the figures a,
which he holds his lot. He will soon
find that he will nave TO sell his un
productive property or improve ii.
The Jaw says that all property i'll
the State of Nevada shall be taxed
at its full cash value as estimated
by the owner.
The single tax theory as advanced
by Henry George is very simple, He
taxes land values alone. The man
with the vacant lot pays exactly the
same tax as the man aiong side OF
his who has a tour story building on
ais. The vacant lot man is forced TO
sel or improve.
This system builds up a town viii"
more rapidity than anything else. The
assessor of Ormsby County can build
up Carson City very rapidly by taxing
vacant lots at the owners valuation.
They will soon disappear anr sub
stantiai buildings take the place Oh
the vacant ground.

Suggested.
Tampa, Fla.-Irresponsible land
companies, organized outside OF the
state of Florida, and operating from
western cities, as a rule, have been
advertising Florida lands for sale
that in many cases are utterly worth
less and will not produce anything
near the results claimed for them by
the INSCRIPTIONS promoters. Numer-
Gus enquiries have been received by
the newspapers OF the state, by state,
county and city officials and by
boards OF trade and commercial or
ganizations, relative to these compan'
les and the lands they are advertis-
ing.
In every instance the persons writ
ing should be advised TO make per-
sonal investigation before buying,
wherever practicable. and also 70
learn II the land company has any
business standing In the community
where the lands are reputed to be
located.
Colonel T. M. Wier Of Tampa has
taken this matter up with Governor
Gilchrist and has gone so far as to
suggest that a special session OF the
legislature be called Ito provide
law to make 1t impossible to cheat
anyone In this way"
