MORE WORK SMALLER
FEES IN RECORDING

SS'etdry OF otate Geo. BrOdl-
gan is kept busy with a force of
clerks these days attending to a
large number of. Incorporation
papers that are being filed daily.
From the records of this office it
is being shown that a great change
has taken place in the forming of
interpretations of the present from
those of few years ago. At that
time it was very rare thing for a
company to be incorporated with
a less capitalization than a million
shares but now few companies
have over 100000 shares. 1t
appears that the interpretations Of
the present are on the safe and
sane plan.
This has a tendency to reduce
the amount of fees that are paid
into the office and still the same
amount of work has to be done.
Tn. fee in the million dollar in
corporations is hundred dollars
" lille the smaller amount is only
ten dollars. This hasa tendency
to cut down earnings of the office
without in any way reducing the
amount of labor. r.
The receipts o. the Office so far
this year tend to show that the
total receipts for this year will be
as large if not larger than those
of last years.-Carson News.
We are glad to learn that Mr..
McMullnn is better today.

Misses Alice Bremen, Florence
Reed, Alice Van Leer and Andrew
Crofut left for Reno last night
where they will attend the
University.
Tom Parks proprietor of Parks
station on the Tuscarora road was
kicked by horse Saturday morn
ing and had several ribs broken
and suffered internal injuries.
= Charles Stout who was working
on the Dunphy ranch at Beowawe,
had one of his legs broken yester
day by a horse falling on him.
He was brought to Elko last
evening on the Western Pacific and
taken to the Boiling hospital.
While Allen, youngest son of
Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas Griffin Of
Carlin, was playing around a pile
of ties yesterday. several of the
ties fell on him breaking his left
thigh. Dr.. Hood was called and
m4de the little fellow as comfort
able as possible.
When recently Judge Gary sug-
gested that the government
supervise the operation of the Steel
Trust, fix prices for the produces
and guarantee reasonable profit
he of course had in mind that the
price and profits must he based on
the Trusts own valuation of it's
monopollstic privileges. He would
not be 90 anxious to have such a
plan adopted if the squeeze-out of
all water or monopoly value should
be made a perequisite-S. f. Star.

TARIFF BOARD ACT
PASSED BY HOUSE
Measure Urged by Taft Adopted
1856 to SO.
ALL AMENDMENTS ARE LOST
Bitter Debate Marked Progress Of
5ilI-Democrsts Sought In Vari-
Gus Ways to Change II But
Without Success.

Washington.-The bill providing for
permanent tariff board OF five mem
bers was passed by the hoIse just
before midnight last night Ivy a vote
of 1876 to SO. The measure. which
was advocated by President Taft,
went through unamended, although
the Democrats made n number OF I'M
successful attempts to alter some Of
its provisions.
The session was enlivened by
acrimonious debate, in which Champ
Clark at one time clashed with Repre-
sentative Payne. and in which Presi-
dent Taft was attacked by Represent
alive Fitzgerald for his construction
Of the tariff laws provision for the
appointment of tariff board.
The bill creates a permanent tariff
board in lieu of the present board,
which is a creature of a provision of
the sundry civil appropriation bill.
and which will expire by its own
Limitation on June 80 next.
The proposed board is % consist OF
FIVE members, not more than three OF
whom shall be of the same political
party. The term of Office shall be
six years for each member. and those
first appointed shall serve for terms
of two. three, four. five and six years
respectively, to be designated by the
president. The president is also to
designate one Of the members to be
chairman.
The salaries of the members are
$500 annually for the chairman and
$1,000 each for the other members.
7 first amendment offered by the
Democrats came from Representative
James OF Kentucky It provided for
the appointment OF three members OF
tie board by the president and the
election OF the two minority mem
bers by the minority party in the sen
ate and house of representatives
Mr. James said he did not think a
Republican president was qualified to
select the Democratic members OF the
bipartisan board,
MIR. Barnhart of Indiana offered an
amendment. allowing the president to
appoint one member, the presiding
officer OF the senate two and the
speaker two. The amendment was
lost. 1870 to 149
Representative Coz of Indiana
sought to have the appointees on the
board made subject to confirmation
by the senate. This also was lost.
The Democrats then sought to limit
the expenditures of the board, first TO
$3.50, 600 a year and then to $500 600
a year. Both propositions were lost.
Various other amendments offered
by the Democrats we're voted down.

Value of Railway Property Greater.

The Wisconsin tax commission an
nounced that it had fixed the value of
railroad property in the state for tax
alton purposes at 1927, 1886, 900, an in
crease of $1S,869, 900 over that of last
year.
The total taxes levied were $780,
1851, an increase of $134. 257.97 over
those Of 1910. The rate of taxation on
this property is the average one on
all other taxable property in the state
This year the average rate is SILL
1796S554 per 81 900 valuation, while
last year it was S1125323566.
The increase in the value of railroad
property was due principally to extern
sions and permanent Improvements.
In the case of the Chicago & North
western company the increase was

FAILS NEAR GOAL
IN HAVAN9 TRIP
Aviator Mecurdy Sinks TO Waves
With Success Nesr-Overssa
Record Is Broken.

Havana, Cuba.-J. A. D. McCurdy
made Ills often postponed attempt to
fly across the Florida straits from Key
West to Havana. In his Curtiss BIZ
plane he covered so miles of the dis
lance and then was forced to descend,
ten miles from Havana, by a shortage
in mis- supply of lubricating oil.
When he saw that he could not
reach this port McCurdy alighted safe
ly on the waters and the pontoons
with which it was equipped foated
the aeroplane until the destroyer
Paulding, splashing along in its wake.
had overtaken the aerial craft. Nc
Curdy and his biplane were taken on
board, neither the worse for the mis-
hap.
At first 1t was believed that the
aviator could make new start from
the deck Of the destroyer. but this
proved impractical and after consid-
cradle delay the Paulding brought the
whole outnt into the harbor. The
o,her boats that marked the course
across the strait joined the Paulding
and the feet came in together.
McCurdy had covered approximate
ly 80 miles of the distance of 112
to Havana when he was Obliged to
descend and, though he faiie1 to meet
the requirements OF the competition,
he accomplished feat unprecedented
in cross seas flying.
Compared With the 1S-mile flights
across the English channel, his per
Torrance stands out as far more re-
markable. But for a slip in taking
supplies it is not to be doubted that
the trip would have been successful.
Great disappointment is felt by thou
sands here who gathered to catch a
glimpse of the bird man.
The money offered for the aerial
voyage included $1,000 rendered by
the Havana Post and $4,000 appro-
priated by the Havana city council.
