According to the Reno Gazette,

is making preparations to move to
Reno and expects within a short
time to give up the lease which he
has held on farm in the Starr
Valley, near Deeth which has only
until the first of the year to run.
: Mr. Gray said today that great
interest is being exhibited in Elko
over the recent strike by leasers In
the camp of Bullion, 80 miles out.
He brought a good-sized sample OF
the silver-lead ore Reno.
The property has had persistent
backing by Fred Davis and Al Nc
Bride of Elko who have continued
work on long tunnel month after
month. The strike is in a shorter
tunnel well above the company
work. The veins appear to be ex-
tensive. Charles Mayer of the
Mayer Hotel company at Elko took
samples and secured four assays

d unit in fighting the method of
taxation or equalization proposed
by the State Commission. There
is going to be the greatest fight
in the history of the state against
the Tax Commissions mandates.
Elko c ounty cattle and sheep men
or at least ninety nine per cent
of them have refused to file any
statement as to the number of cat
tie or sheep they own. In other
words they are putting it up to the
Tax Commission to find out the in
formation the best way they can.
Practically all the lawyers in Elko
have or will advise their clients not
to pay any attention to the State
Tax Commission with regard to fill
ing sheep and cattle reports. 1t is
the opinion that the local assessor
and Equalization board are the
proper officials to regulate tax as
sessments iii the county.
One of the absurdities of the Tax
Commissioners rulings is shown
by local attorney. A cattle man
living 20 miles from Elko filed out
his cattle report to the State Tax
Commission but failed to swear to
it, and here is the curt letter he
got III reply from the State Tax
Commission
I'VE are returning to you live
stock report, with instructions thst
the same must be properly sworn
to and returned to this Commission
as soon as possible.
Taxpayers not making the prop
er returns as directed have no
standing before this Commission
at the time of equalization. and
the Commission will proceed to as
5ess at that time according to the
last information on file in this
office, and it will become the duty
Of the proper County officials to
enforce the collection of the tax
thereto.
Statements will be received up
to and including October 6, 1913,
the date Of co" ference with live
stock owners.
Very Truly Yours
Nevada Tax Commission"
Thus it will be seen that although
he supplied the information de-
manded, it was rejected because he
failed to swear to it. 70 comply
with the Tax Commission second
demand he would have had to lose
several days work and travel 140
miles merely to swear to his state
ment. When he asked the advice
of his attorney in Elko, the lawyer
told him TO pay no further atten-
tion to the tax commission as their
demand was without the bounds of
reason.

sitting as Board of Equalization
have asked the District Attorney
for advice as to what they shall
do. This morning the District At
torney's office was asked for a
statement, but that office did not
care to issue statement for
publication at this time. The Dis
trict Attorney will give the County
Commissioners his opinion on all
the nuints involved ut their meeting
Monuay.
In several instances the local
Equalization BOARD and the State
Tax Commission are in conflict as
to authority and the District Attor-
ney will solve the knotty problem
of who is boss. by Monday.
The Tax Commission declares if
no cattle or sheep reports are filed
it will base the taxation on the
last report filed in their Office.
Local attorneys will object to
taxation on such basis claiming
that such information is generally
purely hearsay and unreliable.
1t now looks as if the Tax Com
mission will be done unto death be-
fore it gets done fighting with the
cattlemen. sheepmen and County
officers Of the state. The law is so
inconsistent and full Of loop holes
that it will be shown at the finish
the State Tax Commission doesn't
amount to anything and has no
powers to meddle with the taxation
machinery Of the state of Nevada.

Yesterday the Independent ex-
clusively pointed out that Elko
county would refuse to surrender
D sits tax rolls to the state Tax Com
mission on the ground that the law
did not require it.
Now comes more trouble for the
state Tax Commission. Over in
Reno the District Attorneys office
has just decided that the orders of
the commission are not mandatory.
Thus it will be seen that the law
empowering the commission to
work is being knocked full of holes
In every part of the state. Here
is what the Washoe authorities
have decided according, to the
Reno Gazette:
THAT the Nevada Tax Commiss-
ion % powerless to compel the
county boards of equalization to
raise or lower assessments estab-
lished by assessors is the opinion
Of Assistant District Attorney
Moore after an examination of the
law creating the commission. 1t is
the opinion of the county official
, that the county hoard Of equaliza-
tion may use its own discretion in
increasing assessments and in cases
in which the figures of the tax
commission are doubted may refuse
to act, leaving the matter up to
the commission when it reviews
the tax rolls next mouth.
The point was raised yesterday
when the equalization board re-
ceived instructions from the COM
mission to establish assessments in
accordance with figures furnished
the board. The board found that
in many cases the commission WAS
In error and refused to act, leaving
the matter up to the state board.
I'm the Ease Of most OF the sheep
owners cited by the commission
the figures furnished are believed
by the county board to be correct.
They correspond to the county as
sessor's roll. In cases, however,
where the two sets Of figures vary
there Is no proof on which to sup
port the estimates made by the
commission and the question of
whether to assume the tax COM
mission or the assessor correct pre-
sentS itself. Many sheepowners
herd their bands close to the state
line keeping their focks in Cali
fornia part of the time and in Ne
vada part Of the time. In some in-
stances these shePpmen have given
in half their band to Washoe coun-
ty snShe other half to the Cali
fornia authorities.

posed methods is unpopular in this
