CHURCHILL COUNTY SALARIES
Are Too High When We Con-
slider Present Hard
Times.

In these times of depression when a
large number Of our tax payers take
their tax payments from rapidly shink-
ing purses to the county exchequer,
there is rapidly growing suspicion
that i developing into deeply ground
ed conviction that the salary roll of
this county which is fixed by Statute.
IS altogether out Of proportion with
the county's resources. When We stop
to consider that the salaries that must
be paid from the Churchill county SCI
ary fund amounts to exactly s23, $40 a
year, the logic Of this growing eonyic-
ton IS at once apparent.
The time is not far distant when
some radical changes will have to be
made if this county is 70 conduct its af-
fairs Oh a basis commensurate with its
needs. There are those among our
population who have found it extreme
~ difficult to meet their tax payments
lots OF them, and the economy that
has been necessary to rake and scrape
the money to meet these payments
might we'll be extended to the payment
of county salaries.
There are many counties, ha ing an
assessahle valuation Of FIVE to ten
Zines Churchill countys valua-
ton that enjoy ideal law administra-
ton with salary budget less than
ours, and the most cursory observer
cannot fail TO note the logic of this ar
pament. The trouble lies in the main,
il the fact that the Offices and salaries
for the ineumbents, we're provided dur
a time that was abnormal. With a
transient population of several thous-
and, engaged for the most part in min
ing, extraordinary demands were made
upon the county officials, and an extra
ordinary flow of fee monies into the
county treasury followed these de-
mands, but as matters stand today.
VIC are overtaxed largely on account of
salaries, which are now out of all pro-
portion with cur resources.
With an assessed valuation of
around two and half million dollars
ia round numbers, the annual county
salary budget amounts to very close TO
dollar for each one hundred dollars of
the assessed valuation.

COOaTYS ASSESSMENT ROLL
Is Being Prepared BY Assessor
Wightnan For Board of
Equalization.

County Assessor c. W. Wightman
and F. E. DeArmond, whom he has en-
gagged to assist him temporarily, are
busily at work upon the tax roll for
1909, which viii be submitted to the
Board Of Couatv Commissioners when
they meet the first Monday in septem-
Der. They will act as board Of equal
ization on that date and those who
care for readjusiments of valuations
should be present and enter their argu-
ments. Values do not show any in
crease this year. for the reason that
abatement Of mining operations has
tended to remove much taxable proper
ty from the county, among which are
the many teams that formerly piled
between here and the mining camps
loaded with supplies. The district en-
bracing the irrigation pr ject, is the
only part of the county that shows a
general advance in values and much
new property has been listed in the ag-
rcuitural sections. The total valua-
ton of the county this year will ap-
proximate two and half millions, of
which about one fifth is classified as
as Fallon town realty.
Under the law passed in 1903 by the
state legisiatu. ., regulating the levy
ing OF taxes, Churchill county taxes
must of necessity be lowered ten
cents on the hundred dollars assessed
valuation, until it reaches $3.50 for
each hundred dollars, When the rate of
must be lowered FIVE cents an
nually, which rate of decrease viii be
kept in active force until the assessed
valuation shall be levied upon at fiat
rate of fifty cents per hundred dollars
valuation When this figure has been
reached it shall, il the 1903 law is to
be followed remain thereafter the
permanent limitation OF taxation of all
county and state purposes, exclusive Of
the taxes needed to maintain the sink
ing funds and pay interest on out
standing Indebtedness.

taxpayers. w. w. Williams. R. /.

With Morphe US.

Thomas Dolf was pleasantly surprised
Tuesday evening by about seventyfive Of
his friends, who made the occasion of his
forty second birthday an event for
congratulations The arrival of the
guests found Tom safely tucked away
in his bed and the snoring that greeted
the first arrivals took them back to the
days in other parts where sawmills
we're plentiful. The evening was spent
in conversing and games, while refresh
ments also played an important part
in the evenings entertainment.
Mr.. Dolf was the recipient of con-
eratulations from the guests present
upon having safely arrived at the for
ty second mile stone. His adult life
+ has been spent in this county. where
HE has been signally honored by his CO.

Wonder Bank Pays Dividend.

1t will be pleasant news 10 many of
the depositors of the Wonder Bank
and Trust Company to learn that this
institution, under the management Of
Receiver Westmyer, Is at last about to
declare a dividend of 15 per cent to
depositors. Mr. Westmyer mas had q
most wearisome time in getting the
affairs of the deceased bank into shape,
but at last things have been so arranged
that at the next opportunity he will
apply to the court at Fallon for permis-
sion TO declare dividend as mentioned
above. This is the first that has been
heard from this institution, but Mr..
Westmyer says that he hopes in the
near future to be able to repeat the
performance, and before very long to
close up the affairs of the unfortunate
and badly managed eoncern.-Wonder

More Cuff.

In spite of preparations for the
Reno-Fallon game Sunday, there was
no contest, owing to an accident over
which baseball players have no CON
troll. A freight train deraiment
west of Reno made train No. 10 so
late that it was impossible to make
connections in order to get into Fallon
in time to play.
Manager Littler yesterday received
the surprising information from Mana
ger Fits of the Lovelock baseball
team that the remarkabls organization
of hay-tossers had disbanded for the
season, filled with a somewhat dis
torted sense of superiority, but safe
in the assurance that defeat is now
impossible.
Manager Littler made no comment
on the termination of the relationship
between Reno and Lovelock, but he
thought great deal.
1t has not been decided as yet what
team will play Reno next Sunday, but
there are several teams that would
like to compete with the Reno cham
pions. Journal

EMO COULD NOT COME
Ball Team Fails to Arrive and
The Churchill Fans
Disappointed.

Because train No. 10 suffered an acci-
dent near Truckee the Reno ball
players failed to arrive in Fallon Sun
day, according to the schedule planned,
and as a result many people. some Of
whom had travelled fifty miles and more.
were disappointed. Sounds funny,
does It not, reader. that the Reno team
eao8ld,take he. 10 and DC in the vicinity
of Truchee when No. 6 and the Wads-
worth-Fallon swing train were both
available. 1t is believe ieeally, that
the Reno team" was on No. 10, and
that the ''team" consisted OF a PAID
pitcher and catcher from Sacramento,
whose failure to arrive in time to make
Fallon for Sundays game was
responsible fsr Reno's aon-arrival At
any rate, Faiion fans we're genuinely
disgusted with Renos antics, and what
ever popularity the Reno team may
have enjoyed with Fallonites has gone
glimmering.
Fallon business men contributed
loyalty towards the success of the pro-
posed game for Sunday. A grand
stand was erected and every prepar-
alton was made to royalty receive the
ball tossers from the states metropc-
lis, and it was not until only two hours
before the scheduled tine Of the game
announced for Sunday that Manager
Littler of the Reno team ~.red Mana
ger Carpenter Of the local tenn that
his team had met with he serious ae-
cident at Truckee. 1t vas not stated
in the telegram whether any serious
injuries had been received by any of
the members of the Reno aggregation.
Some surmised that Reno's pitcher
may have had his throwing wing dis
located. Others feared that the catcher
may have lost his second base eye. At
any rate the team could not come and
the two following kilograms comprised
the sum total of consolation dished out
to the several hundred people who had
been anxiously looking forward to a
test of skill between Reno and Fallon.
Carpenter:
Fallon tram ten behind now. Wreck
this side Truckee. We cant get there.
LITTLER.
Carpenter:
Yes it is true. We waited at depot
until 80 hoping could get through.
No possible chance of getting there.
We are all very sorry.
LITTLER.
A game was arranged, however, and
two picked teams from among the
local talent played for nine innings,
the score standing "A to two at the
close Of the session.
