The burden Of taxation Is unequal

heaviest upon the small freebooter.
whose property Is obvious, and least
upon certain kinds of property the
existence of valuation of which is
not so obvious
The subject Is one of the most
important to which the legislature
can address attention.
NEW LAWS RECOMMENDED
The repeal of the act creating the
state board of assessors, and the act
creating the office of state license

law providing for a state tax COM

SCHOOL FUNDS
The state of Nevada has $3.50 900
of the moneys belonging to It's school
and university funds invested in
government bonds and the bonds of
other states, about one-half OF which
draws but per cent interest, and
the remainder 8 liz and A per cent.
There Is no good reason why our
constitution should not be amended
to permit such funds to be invested
In approved county and municipal
bonds, both of this and other states,
which pay higher rate of interest.
II this sum were invested at six per
cent 1t would increase the interest
revenue $4,000 per year over the
present income from these bonds
an item which is we'll worth the
consideration of the people of this
state.

EXTRACTS FROM THE
GOVERNORS MESSAGE

The following is synopsis of Gov
srnor Oddie's message read In the
legislature OF Nevada last week.
There are number of instances
where unnecessary expenses can be
curtailed and useless expenditures alb
olished, resulting In a substantial
saving to the state.
There Is general complaint that
the burden of taxation Is oppressive
This may be relieved to a greater ex-
tent than Is generally realized by
more just and uniform system of tax
ltion than that now in force by the
stimulating of the agricultural and
industrial development Of the state,
thus increasing the amount of tax
able property. and by pruning of
III useless expenditures both In the
state and county governments. 1t
Is matter of common knowledge in
certain counties that the salaries
and fees of certain officials amount
to an exhorbitant income for the ser.
Ices rendered.
REDUCTION OF EXPENSE
That a joint committee of the
Two houses be appointed to investi-
gate the ways and means of reduc-
ing state expenditures and to report
by bill all reductions which can be
effected without impairment to the
public service.
STATE FINANCES
The report of the state controller
shows an increase for the last fis-
cal year of nearly $4,000 900 in the
valuation of property subject to as
sessment. At the present rate OF
taxation on the same, together with
the states other miscellaneous
sources of revenue, the receipts of
the state government are in round
numbers about $1,000. 900 per annum.
Nevada has no outstanding indebt-
edness, other than to itself, while
the general government and other
states pay into our treasury interest
lpon more than one and one half mil
lions of dollars loaned by the state
We can look into the future with
he assurance of a steady increase
in property valuations, and In new
sources from which the state can
derive support

MINES AND MINING
The production of precious metals
In Nevada dicloses the satisfactory
fact that In the last three years there
has been an increase of over 100
per cent In the value OF the refined
product In 1908, the gross value
was under $15.0O0.000 for the year
1909, approximately $25,O00,0 900; and
for the year 1910. about 10000 900.
The public revenue derived from
the taxation OF the net proceeds Of
mines has increased from about
100000 in 1908, to over $225,000 in
1910. The continued development OF
mining properties and the erection
Of new quartz mills. reduction works

imum production of our mines has

some years to come at least there
will be steady increase In pro

How We Can Do It

Naturally you will wonder how we
can give such astonishing value for the
money. The reason is very simple. We
have been Building cars for several
years. Have a splendidly equipped fac
tory, capable of turning out several
thousand cars year. We are building
three larger sizes, and making fair
profit on them. This car was built sole
ly to "carry the line'-to advertise the
big cars. Our profit on it is so small
that it is hardly worth our considera-
ton. But it means a great deal to you.
1t means that we are practically selling
this car to you at cost. in order to let it
tell the story of Marathon reliability. If
we were dependent on the profits from it
We would fail in a short time. But
we're not. The other, bigger cars pay
large enough dividend to satisfy our
stockholders. .ss,.a! ,.s-s.s.ss. ,,.,s,2'

Uncle Sam Makes Them

The manufacture of the enormous
quantity OF stamps which is the CHIEF

that there arc many different colors
and denominations yerying from the
ordinary one and two-centers which
constitute the bulk of those sold to
the So stamps which are probably as
unfamiliar to the average person as
one thousand dollar bank notes. But
in spite OF the completely OF the job,
Uncle Sam, differing from many
many foreign governments, makes
his own stamps through the Bureau
of Printing and Engraving, though
up to 1892 they were made by the
American Bank Note Company. Like
the foreign countries, with a single
exception. Uncle Sans stamps are

out in sheets twenty inches square
containing 400 stamps and subse-

Where the Valve Is

The value of these little cars is not in
quantity of production-for only one
thousand of them will be built Tt is not
in unrivaed factory equipment, although
we have equipment and facilities for
quantity manufacture that will compare
favorably with any automobile factory.
1t is in the fact that no overhead ex-
pense is charged to these cars; that the
actual cost, plus a modest agents COM
mission is the selling price; that all the
dominant qualities of Marathon con-
struction have been incorporated in
them And you can see how close we
have figured. Even the agents COM
mission is smaller than usual. They
realize what it means to have these little
cars running about the streets in their
territory. and they are content to SELF
them on the same basis as we are-an
advertising proposition, pure and simple.

speaking nearly eight mills of this

the item of personal service, that is
the salaries of postmasters, carriers,
clerks and other persons and mis-
cellaneous expenses including the
cost of supplies, manufacture and
similar items. The remaining 2
mills goes to the railroads for the
transportation of the mails, the car
riers in spite of the enormously i'm
portant function which they perform
in this connection receiving only
one-ffth of the postage for the trans
portation of a letter over a haul
which may extend from New York to
San Francisco, and average around
400 miles Last year out OF the
1929, 100000 expended by the de-
partment the carriers received less
than $50, 1000, sum which they
claim is less than the cost OF per-
| forming this service. As a general
thing such claims on the part OF the
railroads are received with skept-
icism, but In this case they seem to
be borne out by the figures of the
Postmaster General who recently
stated as the result of an investiga-
ton of the subject that many OF the
roads are underpaid for the trans
portation of the mails and suggested
the need of some fairer system OF
remuneration Even though a
change is made In the method of
paying the railroads the item of
transportation will continue to be
the least expensive though most inn
