Assessors Nullify the Law

~ HE state board of assessors, made up of the assessors of the
various counties of the state, has been in session at Carson
City, this week. Governor Dickerson is ex-offcio chairman of
the board.
The law requires the assessors to meet once a year and place a
valuation, for purposes of taxation, on all railroad and public utility
property in the state. The meeting of the board has always been
The signal for an influx at Carson of railroad lobbyists and special
tax agents IN the employ OF the companies coming under the law, and
this session of the board was no exception. They settled down upon
the capital city like a flock of crows and outnumbered the assessors
three to one, In the number We're some of the most notorious political
strikers in Nevada-men who have been used for the shady side of
politics and know how to use inducements in a safe and effective

ersons firm stand in behalf of equal and just taxation of all interests
has made the corporations all the moe aggressive and this year the
fight has been hotter than ever. Last year the governor tried to hold
the assessors as against the influence of the railroads, but he lost out
and he scored the board in a public statement, as a pack of boodlers,
or words to that effect.
When the board met this year their first act was in the interest of
the corporations. The law plainly states that the board shall at their
January meeting fix the valuation on all telegraph telephone, electric
light and power companies The purpose of this was to place all as
SCISSORS on record before the public and prevent deals either fin
ancal or political between the individual assessors and the various
companies n his county, to the prejudice of the Taxpayers. The first
motion made was by Sheriff Bradley, exoffcio assessor OF Esmeralda
county, who moved that instead of the board fixing the valuation
ON the public utility companies, such as those mentioned in the law
that it be left to the discretion of the individual assessors. Governor
Dlckerson, as chairman, refused to entertain the motion, declaring ii
out of order, and called upon the attorney general to read the Aw
The law was read, making it mandatory on the board itself to set he
valuation for all lines and all companies in the state. He again re-
fused to put the motion and Sheriff Bradley appealed from the deci-
sion Of the chair. All but four of the assessors voted with Bradley as
against the governor, and the assessors ae now left to make their
private deals with their home companies.
By this action not only did the SCISSORS throw bemselvs ma,
TO suspicion and criticism, but they practically nulli6ed the law. As
governor Dlckerson said at the time, the law specifically enumerated
telephone, telegraph and power lines among those properties which
the law made mandatory that the board assess. and bv refus;no 70

in gathering the statistics itself. The green-eyed paper IN quesuun
expressed holy horror that The News should have puohsheu ue
figures Just as they were without padding them exclalming om
figure constituted the "most ridiculous proposition that "a "
been advanced to boost a state"
A special criticism was directed at the statement u .t lanes Is f.
Haley state bullion and tax collector, which he furnished tms paper.
The Tribune claimed that this statement embraced my T .e M pu
.duction for the first three-quarters of the year, whereas Inc Ut views
published the figures as a total for the whole year; hence IL Ne"s

Now. for the benefit of The Tribune, this paper will furnish II
the statement referred to, just as it has furnished that paper with
about all the other news it has printed for the past three months.

Attracting Attention

nOloiDh OF Nevada, mining men are beginning to sit up and
take notice of Nevada s mines, and to study the sitnat;or u;th
IN the state. Due to the record smashing production Of Nevada
during the past year-a dull year, at that, there is a yer general
vada. The following published in the Los Angeles Rev;eu 20 ~ oah

Nh. Haley explained in another part of his statement, published
on New Years eve by this paper, that the figures in his tables rep
resented only the production that had been reported to him and of
which he had exact and official knowledge; but that he had reason to
believe that there wa a non-reported production that would bring the
states eptire output up to $~35,OOO,OO0.
We trust these official figures of the bullion tax collector furnish
ed exclusively to this paper will be of some value to the Tribune in
making up its tables later. All our other statistics regarding this dis
tnct are also free to the Tribune, as it seems to have neither the
energy or enterprise to gather the figures itself But we would adj
that paper that hereafter before it commences to tear our state
ments to pieces, that it advise itself by a little investigation and not
lay itself open to ridieule as it has done in this instance. We would
advise a little constructive instead of destructive work on the part of
paper.
There was a newspaper man once who dreamed he could get out a
paper without work-simply deny what the other papers said-but
that is another story.
We are quite certain that Mr.. Haley, the bullion tax collector,
will be grateful to the Tribune for correcting his statement and tell
ing him what the states output was for last year, for he will now
know how to revise his official figures.
