TARIFF DIFFERENCES WITH GER.
MANY MAY BE ADJUSTED

The tariff officials of the government
have recommended to the president
that a proclamation be issued declar-
ing the following countries as not be-
ing unduly discriminative in their tar
ifs against the United States, and
therefore entitled to receive minimum
rates Of duty imposed by the Payne
Aldrich act:
Denmark, the Netherlands, Norway,
Sweden, Belgium, Egypt and Persia.
State department officials having the
matter in charge, including officers Of
the board of foreign trade relations
and the tariff board, have been work
ing overtime in their efforts to adjust
tariff differences between the United
States and certain other European
countries, and especially with Germany
and France.
It has been officially stated that
good progress had been made in set
ting tariff issues with Germany. The
live cattle and meat inspection pro-
visions of the German regulations have
been tentatively adjusted, the United
States yielding as to live cattle and
Germany waving her microscopic
meat inspection regulations. There is
a proviso, however, that the question
Of the importation into Germany of
American live cattle be taken up later.
There are still a number of import
ant points to be settled, and SO far as
the United States may yield for the
present in the matter of live cattle,
such action will be contingent upon
a satisfactory settlement of the other
points under discussion. Attention was
called to the fact that these discus
sions and their results are only tenta-
tive until the president shall have
passed upon the recommendation Of the
secretary of state by the issuance or
non-issuance Of proelamations.
1t now appears highly probable that
a final adjustment of tariff differences
between Germany and the United
States will be made before February
81, when our tariff arrangement with

NEvADA's AETIQUATED REEVE
NUE. LAWS

The recent meeting of the state
the assessment of the railroads, again
brings forcibly to mind the fact that
Nevada's revenue laws are out-of-date
and sadly defective.
At its next session, the legislature
should segregate county and state
taxes, and place a tax on the gross
earnings of all railroad, telegraph,
telephone and other companies operat-
ing under charter from the state, to be
paid directly to the state. If this
does not produce a sufficient revenue to
maintain the state government, then
adopt the Oregon plan, which is so
simple and equitable that it is a won
der that it has not been put in prac-
tice by every commonwealth in the
Union. In the Webfoot state the audi
tor makes requisition on the several
counties for their proportion of the
state's expenses, based on the amount
required to run the county government
for the preceding year.
BY this system state boards OF equal
~ization and assessors meetings can be
dispensed with. With state taxes out
of the way, each county may raise the
needed money for the maintenance Of
its own government in any manner it
nay see fit. Instead of assessing GER
tain classes of property at from 25 to
so per cent of it's reasonable cash
value, there will be no reason why all
classes of property shall not be as
sessed at their true market value. As
SCISSORS rolls would then make a much
better showing and men with capital
would not be afraid to invest it in Ne
vada, fearing that it might be con-
fscated by high tax rates.
