NEVADA PRESS COMMENT


Railroad Taxation In Nevada
Wyoming taxes the Union Pacific
Railroad on valuation of sc, 900 mile.
This road is only link in the Hartman
system, the same as the Southern Pa
cific in Nevada. II one link in the
chain is taxed at $50, 900 mile, is there
any good reason why Nevada's State
Board Of Assessors should assess an
equally valuable link at SIS, 500 per mile
as was done last year.
IL the assessment Of the Southern
Pacific Railroad through Nevada is not
raised to some thing near $50. 900 per
mile, the people will have q right to
look with suspicion upon the votes cast
by their Assessors. They must choose
between serving the people or the rail-
road company.
If they serve the people instead Of the
railroad companies they will place a
reasonable valuation on every mile of
railroad track in this State, thus com.
peliing these corporations to pay just
proportion of the expense Of the State
and county governments. II on the
other hand. they place service to the
corporations above their duty to the
people. enough of them will line mp on
the side of the Southern Pacific Railroad
Company to prevent just and equit-
able assessment Of its property.
The State Board of Assessors will
meet at Carson the first week in January
to fix the taxable valuation of all prop.
erty in Nevada. Governor Dickerson,
chairman of the board, will ask its men,
bers to fix the valuation of the Southern
Pacific Railroad at $50. 900 per mile on
it main track. This is not an unreason-
able figure as the sworn evidence Of the
company's officials clearly shows. II
the Southern Pacific track across this
State is worth $l32 900 a mile when
rates to rob the public are to be fixed, it
is certainly worth $50, 900 per mile for
taxable purposes.
That is the way the situation sizes up
to large majority Of the taxpayers of
the State. but how it will appear to the
State Board of Assessors can not be told
until their votes are recorded. When
the record is made. we hope Elko Coun.
ty's Assessor will be on the side Of the
people. If it is. due credit will be
given. II it is not. he will have to bear
the criticism that will surely follow
Elko Independent.

WHAT THE SPORTS ARE DOING

Chicago, H.. March 81 won't
go back to the ring unless | have
plenty OF time to get into perfect con-
ditlon. But II | ever do will knock
Johnson's head off,"
This was the statement made by
James J.. Jeffrles. retired heavy
weight champion of the world. who
reached the city yesterday and who
is now quartered at the Auditorium
Annex. He win remain until nearly
noon today and will then depart for
New York, where he will fill theat-
rical engagement. lie VIII return
three weeks hence.
Jeffries was accompanied by his
wife and Sam Berger. the former am
ateur heavyweight champion of the
world. Berger won his title at the
Olympic games In ST. Louis in 1904
during the Louisiana purchase expo
sition.
Jeffries seemed in good shape, con-
sidering the amount of talk that has
been spread about his excess of fat,
and has a deep. rudy brown in his
cheeks which seems to indicate that
he Is In fair trim. He was introduced
from the stage of the American Music
Hall yesterday and was greeted with
wild applause.
I'VE are simply taking our time.
said Sam Berger. "Jen has to get
back into trim. and don't see any
reason why Jeffries should pay any
attention to Johnson's claims that he
is the champion. Jim never was beat.

feated. | don't see where that gives
Johnson any right to cut in and claim
that he has the title. Who gave Il
to Burns, anyway? He never beat
anybody for IL that had a right to

Jeifries himself seems to take the
whole pugilistic position rather phil
osophically.

he said, "and Sam Berger and my
self are training a couple hours every
day. ] don't claim TO be in the besl
of shape just at present. but I car

to make quite stay here on the re.

AL Kaufman sent one of his regu.
lar challenges to box Jeffries by way
of Billy Delaney. The message was
sent from Los Angeles. and AL said
that he wants to put up $4,000 OF
the side. Jeffries simply smiled and
said that he would take his own time
about answering.
