INCREASED RATE
IS ONLY REMEDY
GOVERNOR ODDIE IN EXPLAIN
ING FINANCIAL SITUATION DE-
CLARES> THAT STATE TAX
MUST BE LARGER.

Governor eddie gave the follow
ing authorized interview to the press
this week:
1T is a condition and not a theory
which eonfronts the people of Ne
vada. Time will speedily tell
whether | am right or the opponents
of my administration.
"In my message to the special
session of the legislature | made 1t
clear that more than the borrowing
of money to tide owe the present
deficit in the general fund was re-
quired for the business welfare of
the state. That the future must be
looked out for, else We could antici-
pate a situation which would be be-
yond legislative remedy without in
volving embarrassments to every
state institution.
II showed that the general fund
for three years had been running be-
hind over s15O,O0O per year; why it
was running behind, and what steps
must be taken to get the state back
on a sound business basis. The SEN
ate met my showing by rushing
through a bill decreasing, instead of
increasing, the general fund-a
direct issue with my recommends
ton. 1t was finally amended by the
assembly leaving the general fund
unchanged, as against the showing l
presented that the general fund
must be increased from 1916 cents
to at least so cents on each N hun
dred dollar valuation of taxable prop
erty.
"In a letter to the ways and means
committee, / showed how, without
increasing the state tax rate, but by
funding the present outstanding in
dettedness into a new state loan and
providing during the next three years
while We are restoring the general
fund to a normal basis and provid-
ing ways and means for an exhibit
at the Pan-Pacifc Exposition. merely
for the interest on the loan, and not
until 1915 beginning the redemp-
tion of the principal, that Al cents
of the 6 cents now applied to the in
terest and redemption of the old and
new loan could be added to the gen.
eral fund and become a part of the
increase required.
II make no pretense of infallibili-
ty. Possibly my contention is in
correct that the state is already in
sight of breakers ahead. Possibly
the legislature. in its wisdom. on the
other hand is correct and that there
are nc embarrassments in store for
us. Time will speedily tell.
IF, when another year comes
about and the condition of the gen.
eral fund is such that injurious re-
trenchment has to be resorted to,
affecting every state institution as
well as every state Office and com
mission. even after exercising our
borrowing power up to the $500. 600

believe that the responsibility does
not rest upon myself.
The reform of the state taxation
system, which / proposed, met with
like fate; certain members succeed

ting themselves recorded on both
sides of 1t. Possibly the bill is a
joke; but | believe the taxpayers of
Nevada will not find 1t so when they
give it study.
II showed in my message that the
receipts of the general fund, as CON-
pared with disbursements, were run-
ming behind over $150,000 per year
that 1t has exhausted the surplus ac-
cumulated prior to January l, 1909,
when the state tax rate was rs cents,
when the secretary of states office
was turning into our revenues over
100000 per year as against less
than $40, 900 o and when there
was 100000 of poll tax receipts
coming into it as against none now.
After treating the remedies pro-
posed by me as a joke. the legisla-
/, ture proposed its remedy-retreneh-
ment! 1t was proposed to restore
the general fund by eliminating the
commission of industry. agriculture
and irrigation. This commission
abolished would save the ship. 1t
did not seem to occur to the advo-
Gates of special retrenchment that
the trouble was somewhat larger
than the saving hat would be effect
ed by abolishing the above-mention-
ed commission, together with the
abolition of the state police, the rail-
road and public service commission,
the state engineers Office, the state
banking board and bank examiner,
the bullion tax collector-all these
would but half meet it, the sacrifice
would have to have been extended
to every state Office and all public in
stitutions curtailed.
in my Inaugural message of
January 16, 1911, / stated:
81 recommend that a joint
committee of the two houses be
appointed to investigate the
ways and means of reducing
state expenditures and to report
by bill all reductions which can
be effected without impairment
of the public service
No attention was paid to this at
the regular session, but at the special
session, after treating my earnest
recommendation as a joke and every
measure presented from standpoints
more or less distinct from that of the
the public welfare, I could lei no
good to come from opening a subject
to the consideration of a legislature
and prolong the session which it had
demonstrated its incapacity to con-
sisder dispassionately.

would have enabled the rate apply
ing to the general fund to have been
increased by 10 cents on each hun
dred dollars valuation. Moreover, in
my judgment. this would have been
a temporary increase and would with
in two years be offset by a very large
increase in the aggregate valuation

A crowd of about 200 witnessed an
excellent boxing exhibition Tuesday
evening before the Windham Athletic
club at Willimantic. The card COM
prised three vents, all of which were
very good.
A preliminary, a four round bout be-
tween Young Lisey of Willimantic and
Kid Fournier Of Baltic, was the best
given under the auspices of the club
this season. and was practically an
even go.
The mi-final. alive round exhibit
ton between Young Mack and Kid
Collins Of Willimantic, was fast and
clever, Young Mack having a slight
advantage
The final event Of ten rounds be-
tween Block Harris Of WllIimantic and
Norris Lemoine Of Webster Mass,
proved a fine bout. The Willimantic
lad had the best Of the gsme,up to the
eighth round and Lemoine had the APP
pearance Of stalling in several rounds.
The eighth and ninth rounds were
clearly Lemoine's, and the referee
stopped the bout in the latter session
with the advantage in favor of tho
visitor.
Wade L. Webster was announces
and timekeeper and Frank Mclean
was referee.
The work of the participants in the
preliminary was such that they are
matched to meet again two weeks. Kid
Bunyan and Joe Farren of Boston, who
bested Young Sam Langford before
the Willimantic club recently, are
matched for the star bout here in two
weeks.

TEACHING A RusHER.
Hurst Had a Lesson for the lnquisi :
tive Recruit.


Tom Hughes is responsible for an
other of the many good stories told
about Umpire Tim Hurst. 1t seems
that a brssh young pitcher Joined the
Washington club, bringing with him
a reputation q mile long from the
small league.
The recruit wasn't averse to talking
of his ability. and one afternoon while
Hurst was sitting on the bench he be-
gan to relate the way he used to
stand the umpires on their heads back
in the bushes.
ANY time I wanted a strike called
I would simply yell loud enough for
the fans to hear, How's that one
Right through the middle" was the
receipt he gave for obtaining favera-
BILE rulings.
AS he concluded hiss tale of how he
lorded it over the umpires, the man
ager told the recruit to warm up as
he might work that afternoon. Hurst
listened to the youngsters monologue
with interest and evidently made up
his mind to teach the young man a
lesson, for on the first ball pitched,
although right through the heart of
the plate. as Tim afterward confessed,
he delivered an ultimatum.
''How's that one?" the pitcher de-
manded, turning on Tim.
Looking him over in the most criti-
cal way, Hurst responded: Under the
circumstances it is a ball. If you hadn't
been so inquisitive it would have been
a strike
And that bit of advice was the
best thing that could have happened, -
said Hughes. 1T taught the kid a
lesson and thereafter he confined him
self to pitching, leaving the umpiring
to men hired for that purpose. Today
he is a star in the big league, although
not with the Washington club"

Team Mates Thought He Was Going
Back, but Cobb Finally Cut Loose.

Ty Cobb has a habit of pulling off
sensa tional stunts. That day is count
ed lost on which Ty fails to butt into
print with some extraordinary feat.
Probably his most sensation stunt was
pulled off last spring. The team was

started north and in practice Hughey
Jennings ordered his men to run from
plate TO first. He wanted to instruct
some OF the youngsters in getting a
quick start and he also used the stunt
in practicing bunting.
While this was going on someone
suggested that the players be timed
in going from the plate to first. This
was arranged. A comparison of figures
showed the startling fact that at least
four men on the team were getting to
first faster than Tyrus. Big sensa-
ton! Stories spread over the entire
country that Cobb's star was setting.
He could no longer show his brilliant
flashes of speed and his legs were
giving way. The papers continued and
they were lacking go on Ty's ca
reer. Cobb said nothing. He took it
all calmly and silently. He did not
try to defend himself; only smiled.
Quite unusual for Tyrus and it was
the only weak spot in the entire plot,
but the fellows who were spreading
the rumors could not be deferred; they
were certain.
A few days before the training trip
ended Ty announced he would show as
much speed as he ever showed in the
afternoons game. Going into details
Cobb explained that he thought the
matter of training over during the
winter months and decided on an orig
inal way to increase his speed. He
had a pair of heavy shoes made. He
also adjusted strips of metal to the
seles of ths shoes, adding nicely to
the weight; Cobb calculated that the
weight would strengthen the muscles
of his legs, Training with those heavy
shoes should harden the muscles and
would better equip him for the play
ing season. After accustoming him
self to the weight, Cobb would sub

run faster than before.
The exhibition that Cobb gave that
afternoon will long be remembered.
He pulled off nearly dozen different
stunts on the bases. He ran like a
scared deer. He caused general up
sets on the infleld. Cobb was himself
