TAXATION

matter that will be considered at
the incoming legislature will mean
of more equally applying taxation
says the Carson News. 1t is
contended by many that the
present state laws are right
enough, but lack application, that
penalties should be enforced to
make application of the law.
Others argue that a commission
form of law is necessary to bring
about results and others even go
into the land tax scheme of Henry
George. Oregon has the lump
scheme some would apply it and
with it all there seems to be no
absolute way Of regulating this
important matter up to the pre-
sent.
It's confessed by those whL
rave studied the question that the
corporations are paying nearer
an equal taxation than any other
class in this state. The corpora
tions at present are paying one
third of the running expenses of
the state by their tax money.
They are now asking that the big
land holder the big sheep men.
and the big cattle kings be
brought up to their standard. 1t
has been cited that more sheep and
cattle are shipped yearly from the
state than taxes are paid on leav'
= ing the herds and flocks un
accouted for at home.
Then there is land that is bring
ing $3.50 an acre that is assessed
at less than one tenth it's cash
value. 1t is these glaring condi
tions that have set the people tc
thinking.
For years the Nevadan went tc
the assesors's office, found out how
much he had to raise. put up his
money and kicked, but went ne
further into the question. ~
The small property holder
throughout the state is taxed tc
his full cash values. He has
paid and entered his com.
plant but the big holder on his
other side has escaped regularly
The people have grown to 6
point Of thought where they are
asking that better schemes be
brought forth. They care not il
it is commission enforcement, lumJ
sum taxation, or gross taxa ior
something better than the present
system must be provided.
The fact that the state is moi
receiving money enough to carry
on its government is the startling
affair. The assessors have raised
the railroads almost to their limit,
but the county assessors has ap piled
locally have either neglecte OF
have sighted land and stock
assessments. The growth of the
assessments at the last session OF
the state assessors failed tc
materialize.
In one instance an assessor rails
ed land corpora ion $50, 900
The ground was worth it. but the
board Of equalization trimmed
the taxes down to the origine
price. 1t is the same in ever,
county in Nevada, and unless Their,
is some better scheme than tn,
present evolved at the legislator,
the whole state will be up anc
fighting. TIL day Of pay your
taxes and take your rec+ip ha
passed, equal taxtion and lowpi
rates IS the cry. 1t will have 4
be regulated and without unneces
sary delay.
