The bJard OF Assessor

The Carson appeal gives the following
account of the proceedings of the state
board Of assessors at Tuesdays session.:
The Board of assessors met this
morning and occupied the entire session
i'll discussing assessments on telephone
lines. Owens made II motion to leave
the assessing of the lines to the various
assessors hut t le governor refused to
entertaip the motion Us the law made it
mandatory that the board fl the rate
The attorney general gave them the
law and after a heated discussion
Bradley moved to leave it to the various
assessors and his motion carried
This afternoon the question of rail-
road assessments came up but at the
time of going to press no action had
been taken.
Today brought out the first clash be
tween the governor and the board. The
governor ruled against the motion of
Owens and stated his reasons; that the
law creating the board outlined it's
duties and the assessing of telephone,
telegraph and electric light and power
lines was L part IF that duty.
Members of the board argued that
with the different classes of lines of the
nature under discussion that it would
be impossible t. do this. 1t was then
suggested that the different classes be
specified in resolution and that an
uniform rate bc adopted for the various
classes. This WIS not what was wanted
and there was nDthing doing.
After the question had been settled
by the vote giving the duty of the
assessments to the various assessors
Governor Dick.rson stated that he
would make the same ruling i'm the
other cases, that his idea WAS to follow
the law laid Il ,wn. After this an
nouncement on motion of Heinrichs the
board adjourned
On I'm appeal from the governors
ruling on Owens motion, Regain of
Ormsby; Heinrichs of Storey; Randall
of Lyon; and Wy.t+t of Douglass voted
to sustain the ruling, and Beard of

ANALYZING PROSPERITY

According To tho London Statist, the
United States must export $500, 900, 900
worth of products in excess of it's i'm
ports to be II prosperous nation. In 1908
the excess of exports over imports was
1866. 43l. 5J4, which condition it would
keep the wolf from the nations com
mercial doors
Great Britain, whose commercial
supremacy and national prosperity is
rlvaled only by Germany, buys in
tinitely more goods than she sells, for
the imports to the isles are $500. 900. 900
more than the exports.
1t would seem from this condition
that the deductions of the Statist were
ut fault, but Great Britain has to offset
this, an investment in her colonies and
elsewhere of $4,000, 900, 900 the earn
lngs of which flow constantly into the
tight little isle
Foreigners have invested 81, 900, 0OU.-
600 i'll the United States, and while the
promoter might regard this fact with
triumph under the theory that it is the
camp, the true economist views 1t with
regret and alarm.
This amount is decreasing, ;ls the
securities held abroad pass to the
monied powers Of the United States
Otfseting this foreign invetment in our
native land and the outflow of dividends
thereof are American investments
abroad. and in South America and
Mexico
The Statist deduces that not until
Americas Investments in other lands
equal foreign investments here and a
reciprocal exchange of dividends. equal

excess of exports be sufficient evidence
