WILL REFUSE TO
SURRENDER TAX LIST

point in law which may make the
newly created state Tax Commits
sion impotent to some extent.
At the last legislature the state
Tax Commission was born and
nursed with a whole lot of legal
verbiage. The commission is sup
posed to oversee and regulate the
state taxes. Recently they demanded
of Major Miller, the Elko County
Treasurer, the tax roll for 1912.
Major Miller refused to surrend-
er the roll to the state Tax Com
mission Oil the ground that the tax
rol' was a portion of the county
records, the property of Elko
County and that he as the custodian
of this property was liable to his
bondsmen for its safety and on
the further ground he had no legal
authority to allow the County re-
cords to leave the Courthouse much
less the county.
Now comes the same question in
q new form. the 1913 tax roll is
in the hands of the County Com
missioners sitting as a board of
equalization. The tax roll is SUD-
posed to be turned over to the state
board when the county commission
ers have finished their work.
1t seems to be the general opin-
ion that Elko County will refuse to
surrender its tax rolls for 1912 or
1913 to the State Tax Commission.
A close examination Of tho law
passed by the last legislature fails
to disclose any authority for the
state Tax Commission to demand or
force the removal of the Elko Tax
re- from Elko to Carson City.
The law was thoroughly examined
today and found to be vague, indie
finite and ambiguous in defining
the powers the Tax Commission is
invested with. Nowhere is it pro-
vided that the records can or shall
be removed from the county. 1t is
the consensrs Of opinion that the re-
cords Of Elko County will not be
surrendered to the State authori-
ties without a court order and so
far as can be learned the Court
has no authority to direct the re-
moval of county records outside
the county.
1t WAS pointed out by we'll vers-
cd lawyer that the records are es-
sentially a part of the county gov
ernment and the removal of the re-
cords would disrupt the county
government during their absence.
1t was argued that no one had a
right to disturb or hinder the
county government in performing
its legal functions.
Consequently Elko County au-
thorities will adopt the attitude Of
Missourians and must be shown
before they ever surrender their
tax rolls or any other county re-
cords to the state authorities. II
the State Tax Commission wants
any information about Elko taxes
it can come to Elko and get it.
Every other county in Nevada is
affected by this same question
and it is believed that practically
all Of them will take the same at
titude as Elko county and refuse
to surrender their books.
1t is pointed out FIR sake Of ar
gument that il the Elko tax roll
with it's $2O.OO0,O0O taxes should
bks pat between here aid Carson
CITY that the county would be out
all the 1913 taxes as Mt best it
would take six months to make up
a duplicate and the law provides
that the ORIGINAL tax list can
not be filed for the collection Of
taxes.

it would take months, possibly q

ENFORCEMENT OF SPEED LAW

From the Dover Index.
With the coming of spring comes
the need Of a more rigid enforcement
by the town and county authorities of
the law and ordinances against speed
ing both of horses and automobiles. In
fact there appears TO be no enforce
ment at all now In Dover the auto
mobiles go racing through the streets
at any speed, and we have heard OF
no arrests this year NOt only people
from outside the town. but many Of
our own people do not think they are
moving if they go at "A rate less than
twenty miles an hour, and over that
rate seems to be the rule witt many
On the country roads forty to fifty
miles an hour is no uncommon speed.
Il is all right for drivers TO enjoy
themselves, but the life and property
of others are to be considered. I'm
town pleasant weather brings to the
streets many small children ana their
lives are endangered every day. The
town maintains police force and the
county the county constables. and the
citizens have a right to protection from
speed fiends. The law-Obeying auto
mobilists want the law enforced. and
the law-breakers have no right to com

eight foot above ground aud having
sixteen stops from the pavement to

talking things over the following let

Hon. Franklin Brockson,

Dear Sir: At special meeting OF

30. 1913, a resolution vas passed ask
ing you to use your inhuenc, with the

building at Lewes, to have public en-
trance { the building Off Bank street,
and If not derogatory to the architec-
tural design, to lower the building so
as not to require so many steps from

We also suggest that it would be
advisable, If the money is available or
can be obtained. to fireproof the entire
building.
A committee Of two. W. C. Loaand

to wait on you.
Thanking you for your prompt at

u r. YoAKUM says the American housewives pay
~. S13OO0OOOOOO for country produce for which the
farmers receive only s6,OOOOOOOOo. In other words
that the farmers receive only fortysix per cent of the
money paid by consumers for the commodities they
ship to market.
The question naturally arises in this and all other
communities What goes with the remaining 6fty-our
per cent? Mr. Yoabum says that thrtyeight per cent
goes for the expense Of selling and dealers proht;
twelve per goes for waste decay and loss in tran
sit and in city markets. and less than four cent
goes to the railroads for transportation. II is con-
tended by Mr.. Yoakum that the Government must take
a hand in aiding in the establishment of system of
economical food distribution il there is to be a
teral reduction in the cost of living. He adds that
the place to look for saving in the selling expense
and the loss by waste the two items amounting TO
$65OO 100000 or $5OOOOOOOO than the producers
receive.
Such facts and figures the above in all likelihood
will stimulate the movement to bring the producer and
the consumer closer together through governmental
and other agencies but the outlook that many years
will elapse before the middleman will be eliminated.
