TAX ON SMOKERS
RAISE LIVING COST,
LABOR LEADERS SAY
Portest to Tobacco Edict Is
Made to Treasury
Department.

Protesting against the recent order Of
Royal e. Cabell, Commissioners Of In
ternal Revenue, which prohibits en-
ployes of cigar, cigarette, and tobacco
factories from taking from the stock
any articles upon which the revenue
tax has not been paid, Samuel Comp
ers, president of the American Feder-
alton of Labor, and members of the
executive council of the federation now
meeting In this city, appeared at the
Treasury Department this morning.
Declaring such an order Is unfair to
the thousands of employees who, II
forced to purchase goods pom which the
taxes have been paid, will suffer, and
meager salaries for sustenance, the la
Dor leaders urgently requested that the
order be rescinded. They stated that
owing to the present high cost of liv-
ing, It Is unreasonable to fx additional
cost upon the laborers in the tobacco
Mr. Cabell explained to Mr.. Gompers
and his associates the objects of the
order 1t Is illegal, he believes for any
person to sell tobacco upon which the
would apply. he said, to employees in
tobacco factories as readily as to out
siders.
AT least. this 4. the opinion Of the
{.
Cabell continued.
A thorough discussion of the Taylor
system Of shop management In Govern
ment navy yards and arsenals is taking
place at the headquarters OF the fedora
ton.
The Congressional investigation by the
Labor Committee Of the House into the
merits and demerits Of the system was
brought about through the activity of
the federation, 1t was stated, and at to-
days sessions, the decision to continue
the fight against the system was
reached.
The federation will have representa-
tives at each navy yard and arsenal
where the Congressional committee will
visit, II was stated. 1t Is likely that the
Rock Island arsenal will be the next
Government works the committee will
visit.
A campaign for legislation which will
prohibit the installation of the system In
any Government yard or shop will be
launched by the federation. The latter
part Of the week. 1t was stated, the de-
tails of this campaign will be worked
out.

HUNT FOR FLOOD VICTIMS
is TO BE TAKEN UP
Party Leaves Tomorrow With Full
Equipment for Search

While the search for the bodies OF
Mrs. Jones and Mrs Campbell has
been temporarily abandoned another
effort along thorough lines will be
undertaken commencing tomorrow.
Frank Chappell, F. w. Fireman, father
of Mrs. Jones and Mr.. Campbell will
leave tomorrow with complete out
fit and prepared to remain in the
section. By taking the work in hand
lin systematic manner it is believed
that the course OF the flood can be
taken and thus trace out, the miss
ing building or its wreckage and thus
find the bodies. The only thing that
will prevent will be the fact that they
are buried under the heavy sand that
has swept through the water course
and buried them for all times.
This wok is one OF great difficulty
After the reservoir broke and flooded
the section it spread over wide
area, carrying great amount OF
debris with it and this was was fol-
lowed by drifting SHOWS, Since the
disaster colder weather has visited
the section converting the water
soaked snow into a pack OF ice. The
ice pack makes it possible for the
searching party to go over the section
that otherwise would be impossible.
The crew that has been sent to
the scene by the Virginia Water Com
pany has partially repaired the damage
to the water main. 1t is believed that
water will be sent through the t1ume
sometime today, thus relieving the
water shortage in Virginia City and
the hydraulic lifts can then be started
again. Up to the present time the

Home Destroyed
by Midnight Fire

Last night close to the midnight
hour the citizens OF this city were
reused by the fire bells. The fire
laddies resounded promptly to find
that the home of District Attorney
Sanford was being consumed by fire.
The boys took the first cart to the
main hydrant only to find that they
did not have sufficient hose and a
second trip had to be made. In the
meantime the fire had made head
way and was consuming the home.
partially saved, while the damage to
the household goods was almost com
plete between the flames and the
water.
Attorney Sanford, his wife and
baby were aroused by smoke in the
home. They were forced to leave
the place in a hurry and in scanty
!, attire. Mrs Sanford and the baby
were taken to neighbors and made
as comfortable as possible, while the
attorney continued to fight the fire
with the scant means at band.
1t is believed that the fire was
caused by defective fiue as every
thing was in ship shape when they
retired for the night.
A few articles were taken out be
fore the water was turned in but the
place can be considered a wreck.
The fact the thermometer was
lowering close to the zero mark made
hard work for all hands who had
volunteered to assist in fighting the
| flames.

COUNTY DIVISION FIGHT
PENDING IN LEGISLATURE
Entire State Would Benefit by the
Proposed Sub division

Carson City and this county has
been doing heap of worrying the
past year or So Taxes have gradu-
ally worked up the scale and there
| seems to be no relief in sight unless
| this county can gather in more terri
tory of taxable nature. A bill is
now pending in the lower house OF
would relieve this situation and re-
suit in mass of good for the entire
section of Nevada 1t is a benefit
to the state in every instance where
taxation is low and encouragement
can be offered for investment \
strenuous effort is being made by the
Ormsby, Storey and Churchill delega-
tons to effect a sub division OF a
portion of Lyon county that would
work to the vast benefit OF the three
counties.
On the other hand should the di-
vision be effected it would not cripple
the remainder of Lyon county, as it
would leave the rich valleys OF Mason
and Smith Valleys and vast amount
OF unimprovcd land that could be and
would furnish sufficient taxation Tor
the maintenance of that section with
4 low tax rate.
The benefit OF Storey, Churchill and
Ormsby counties would be far reach
ing All three counties need the pro-
posed territory fom a geographical
stand point and need it far more
from a taxation valuation. It would
relieve the present high rate of tax
