A BETTER
SYSTEM
IS NEEDED
An Example Showing
Flaws in Present
Taxation System

1t has come to light that at a re-
cent meeting of the Citizens 1aA
and Economy Committee, held in
Reno, that one stockman OF the state
made some wild assertions. He was
satisfied with the present system of
land and stock assessments and an
nounced that he woud fight any
change to finish That set the mem
bers thinking Results followed by
investigation it was found that thi:
stockman shipped out more sheep and
cattle than was on the tax list, that
his lands were assessed at the lowe st
possible figure. and that some prob
ably escaped taxation altogether. He
was right, his assessment was highly
satisfactory to himself.
This is but one instance in thous-
and in Nevada. 1t is to correct just
such an evil that the people are de-
manding better system OF taxation
and want the big man to be brought
to the mat the same as the small
holder; 1t is up to the present Legis-
lature Ito do something and do I,
right this session. The Topping off
of few clerks in the state employ
won't do the business The money
must come from those who owe it to
the state, and there is taxable prop
erty enough escaping to put Nevada
