boldt. Lander and Lincoln Counties,
the new Elko land Office and district
in the State of Nevada will be created
by practically the first law enacted
under the administration, excepting
the appropriations bills left over from
the last Congress, being the first to

ma, chairman of the Public Lands
Committee, said:

trict in Nevada, embodying approx
mately half of the State. There are

and subject to homestead entry in the
new district. There are %, 900, 900
acres unsurveyed in the proposed
new district which will come on the
market for entry just as soon as the
survey can be made. There is only
one land office in the entire State.
There are 1000, 900 acres of public
land in the State. Inside of the
State people have to travel from 300
to 500 miles to make their proof and
their entries and to try the contest
cases.
Nevada has more public land
than any other State in the Union,
and it has only one land office. To-
Gated at Carson City. This bill di-
vides the State into two parts
With the passage of the bill, the
Secretary of the Interior shall cause

NEVADA PRESS COMMENT


1ShHs AscS161
Exposition Commissioner Mills, ac-
cording to report, has received notice
from the San Francisco exposition
authorities to have Nevada's build
ing ready nine months before the ex-
position opens.
This amounts to ademand that the
building be ready by March, 1914.
In other words it is a command to
loosen up and hand over the $780, 0C
before the people in this State have
a chance to make their desires felt.
What do the San Francisco people
desire to do with the Nevada build
ing from April, 1914, to January,
1915? Are they planning to rent
out the space? Do they plan to
make a hotel or rooming house out
of it so as to pay the rental so gen.
erously donated?
Such s~ubterfuges deceive no one.
There is no need for the completion
of Nevada's exhibit at San francisco
before January l, 1915. There is nc
motive for the request other thar
the desire to get all the money there
is in sight away from this State al
the very earliest opportunity.
While we are about it we might
suggest that any move to build Ne
vada's building at the San Francisco
fair, before July, 1914, or any rec
ommendation by any Nevada officer
to that effect should be taken as {
direct slap at the taxpayers of thi:
State who have already registered
their protests.--Reno Journal.

TAX COMMISSION STILL BUSY
Horizontal Raises In Assessed
Valuation of Four Counties
Have Already Been Given

Carson City. Nevada. Oct. 20.-Cita.
uons have been sent to large property
holders in Washos County to appear be-
fore the Nevada Tax Commission aud
show cause why increases In property
valuati q should not be made. This
action was taken BY the Tax Commission
after an examination of the Washoe
County tax roll showed that the pro-
posed horizontal increase of 10 per cent
could not be made without doing an in
justice to many small property holders
who, the Commission says. already have
been assessed far above the general aver.
age. For this reason the preliminary
horizontal increase of 10 per cent on
lands in the county has been reseinded
by the Commission.
The Commission has made horizontal
raises 10 the assessed valuation in four
counties and given notification of the
increases. The raises follow:
Douglas County, 10 per cent; Hum
boldt County. 10 per cent; White Pine
County. 10 per cent; Eiko County, 10
per cent.
With the exception of the raise In
White Pine County. all the increases
are on a lower basis thar were pro-
posed by the Commission in the original
notices. The increases were made after
hearing complaints. listening TO state
ments and examining statistics presented
by the Assessors OF the various counties.
The decreases in the proposed horizon
tai raises were caused by higher returns
from other counties. Many showed q
substantial increase over 1912. Lincoln
County, where a preliminary notice OF
a horizontal increase had been given,
showed an increase of IS per cent over
the 1912 roll. Nye County showed an
increase of "a per cent and Churchill
County one OF 30 per cent. Nearly all
counties not subject to the horizontal
raise. except the poorer mining counties.
showed increases over the 1912 rolls ap-
proximating 20 per cent.
Mining Companies Cited
The Commission also has cited sever
al hundred mining companies through
out the State to show cause why an in-
crease should not be made in their as
sessed valuation and has cited nearly
all the public utilities 10 the State for a
similar reason. it being considered by
the commission that they have been
uuder-assessed.
Saturday the Tonopah. Belmont Mn
ing Company aud the Esmeralda Power
Company, REPRESENTED by Hugh Brown
of Tonopah, appeared before the Com
mission aud made detailed showings as
to the value of their respective plants in
Nye and Esmeralda Counties.
The matter was taken under advise
ment pending the adoption of a inal
policy relative TO the method OF. assess
ment Of mining property.
Most of the tax rolls have been re-
turned by the Tax Commission to the
County Auditors. the Commission re-
tanning Photographic copies of the rolls.
The work of examining the photo
graphic copies will be done at once.

party as to render almost certain, il
is said, the retention of power by the
Liberal government for the two years
necessary TO overcome the resistance
of the house of lords to the home rule
bill.
On the other hand the wrangles
among the Unionists afford some temp
tation to the government to make an
appeal to the country on the chance
of coming back to power with an in
creased majority.
This, however, is a course of action
which has little likelihood of being
sanctioned by the members of the
Irish Nationalist party, because it
would delay the passage of the home
rule bill and would even risk the re-
turn of the Unionists to office, thus
shelving home rule altogether.
