IOldiicid's Payroll Increasing Steadily

There are now 1896 men employed
in the mines and mills of the Goldfcld
district, according to a table compiled
by the GOldfcld News.
At an average earning of $40 per
month this makes Il monthly payroll of
SlSi,I2O. In many cases this average
should he increased at least 10 per cent
which would swell the total by several
thousand dollars.
In addition to this there is Il large
clerical force and Salaricd men, such as
managers and supcrintcndcnts, that
would bring the total disbursement Oh
account of mining operations up to
5000. 900 per month.

A Word Of Explanation

We have given considerable space 10
university matters today. The repuh-
lished article is doubtless ancient his
try to many of our readers, but there
are 4 great many to whom the facts
stated in the article will he news and it
is that class we are trying to reach.
As the investigation of the university
turns largely on the dismissal of Prufs.
Jackson and Phillips and the bitterness
then engcndered and which still exists
on the part of some of their friends and
the attempt of Prof. Phillips ut this
late day to hold DIR. Stubs responsible
for his dismissal, when the records of
the board of regents expressly show
that his dismissal was the result Of his
OWL Incorporate action in refusing to
meet his classes until Prof. jackson was
r%cinstatcd, the publication of this article
of nine years ago will enable its readers
to form Il more correct judgement in the
premises than they otherwise could.
At the time the article Of nine years
ago was written, it set forth the honest
convictions of the writer on the affairs
discussed. He had no old scores TO even
up, nor any axe of any kind TO grind.
He simply wrote his individual view of
the university troublc. Just that and
nothing more.

The coua,y Tax Rate

The county rate of taxation as fixed
by the commissioners yesterday is SUR
to meet with severe criticism. The
county rate last year was 80 cents on
the 300 and this year it is Sl.0s, u raise
of 50 cents. This was made necessary
in order to meet the principal and in
terest due ON the courthouse bonds and
to give the schools of the county more
money.
The law authorizing the issuance of
the courthouse bonds compels the com.
m~issioners to levy n sufficient tax each
year to redeem $1,000 of the bonds and
to pay the annual interest on all the
bonds. The law also likes the first
Monday of January of each year US the
time of redemption and payment of
interest.
On the first Monday of january 1910,
5000 of the bonds and 10000 interest
will fall due. In order to have suffici,
ent funds in the treasury to meet this
$11, 900 it was necessary for the commits.
sioners to fix the rate high enough to
raise it all on the first installment of
taxes due in December of this year.
The excess, if any. and the amount
collected on the second installment, due
next June, will so into the redemption
and interest funds for the payment OF
the amount due the first Monday OF
january 1911.
Next year the rate will be materially
reduced, because Us least half of the
amount due on the courthouse bonds
will he already in the treasury.

A Timely Warming

. The passage of the anti-gambling bill
i'll the lower house of the legislature by
an easy majority gives rise to the hope
that the senate may be- whipped into
line. Doubt as to the action of the rs.
sembly was put aside some DAYS ago.
but the senate remains an uncertain
quantity. 1t is, however, very far from
the hopeless column. In fact, in view
OF the fight made in the assembly and
the ridicule given the time worm argu-
ment that revenue from gambling is
necessary i'll this state, SO gloriuoSly en-
dowed with natural riches, it is not
clear how the gentlemen of the senate
can afford to tumble into the mire in
support of gambling. One thing is
certain. If they do pledge themselves
into the mud, they will never be able to
pull ont. If this is not an anti-gambling
Legislature the next one will be. and il
would not be at all surprising if it
should likewise be II prohibition or
~ganization. 1t is up to the saloon men
to get together on high license betwee n
now and the next state election if they
would save themselves from a dose
similar to that which Utah has been
taking the last several weeks.-Whitc
