TAX COMMISSION
SATISFIED WITH RESULTS

In an interview today with an
Independent reporter, members of
the Nevada State TaxC Commission de-
clare they we're we'll satisfied with
the outcome Of the meeting with
the Elko county officials at the
courthouse yesterday.
They appreciated that radical
changes in assessment methods
which have prevailed for years can
not be made on any basis of long
distance communication and that
common understandings can be
reached only by conferences in the
right spirit between the interested
parties. 1t is also true that the
question concerning changes must
be raised by action Of some sort
and one relief is that all parties
concerned are the better off be-
cause of the agitation which has
brought out the attitudes of both
the taxpayer and the Com mission.
The resembling of any demands
or suggestions made to county
officers concerning livestock ASSESS
ments came as a result of the show
ing that the adoption of this data
was unpracticable and that the as
sessment of livestock was on the
same parity with other assessments
in the county.
An understanding as to the man
ner in which the assessment should
be made in the future is now had
and the stockmen probably realize
that the Commission desires nuth-
ing mere OR less than a common
understanding with them as to the
just and lawful rendering Of their
assessment.
The horizontal raise in property
assessment to be made by the Com
mission when reviewing the rolls
is necessity to produce the rev.
enue needed by the state if it is to
meet its current obligations for
the year. If the County reduces
its rate so as to produce no addi-
tional county revenue from the
raise the increase has the same
effect as straight raise in the
state rate of few cents only on
the basis of 12A per cent increase
equivalent to an additional tax of
eight cents on each S100 Of origi-
nal valuation.
The Elko County officers have
shown a fair and courteous spirit
Of co operation and the members
Of the commission trust that they
leave them with an entirely cordial
feeling on both sides.

LICENSES DUE ON
EXPIRATION OF QUARTER

Under the new law an important
change has been made in the col
lecting Of licenses. Formerly it
was the practice to collect the
quarterly amount from the date
of the application but this cannot
be done any more as the law ex-
pressly stipulates that the amount
must be paid to the end of the
quarter and the amount for the
next quarter following must also
be paid. The law is very stringent
on this point as shown by the fol-
lowing extract received by Sheriff
Harris.
Chapter 22-An act to amend
section 126 of an act entitled can
act to provide revenue for the sup
port Of the government for the
state of Nevada and to repeal cer-
tain acts relating thereto" approx
ed March %, 1891. (Approved
March 25, 1879
:. Section /. Section 126 is here
by amended so as to read as fol-
lows:
Section 1875 The licenses pro-
Sided to be granted by the provis-
ion Of this act, except theatres,
menageries or circus licenses, shall
be granted for one, two or four
quarters at the option of the per-
son applying for such licenses.
The term quarter" wherever used
in this act with references to time
shall be construed to mean one
quarter of the year and said quar-
ters shall begin with the months
of January, April, July ami Octob-
er of each and every year and when
ever any person, firm, association
or corporation shall apply for a
license to conduct business in the
Eiiddle of any quarter, or any part
oDEs quarter, the said person, firm
association or corporation SHALL
BE REQUIRED TO PAY SAID
PART OR PORTION OF THE
UNEXPIRED QUARTER, IN AD-
DITION To THE QUARTER I'M
MEDIATELY FOLLOWING, and
said li,esnse fall and become due
on the beginning of a quarter and
the sheriff and auditor shall have
the right and authority to issue a
license for q fractional quarter SO
as to have all licenses fall due at
the beginning of quarter as here
in provided. ~
The commission has instructed
the sheriff to secure from all busi-
ness houses statements of the
amount of business done for the
quarter ending September 80 and
TO issue the licenses for the ensuing
quarter based on the business as
shown by the statements.
The sheriff and his deputies de-
clare that it is a physical impossi-
bllity to do as requested for the
reason that licenses will be due in
October J. 1t is probable that the
suggestion will be made to the COM
mission that license payments for
the quarter beginning January
be estimated on the statements
furnished at the end of the pres
ent quarter and that for the quar-
ter beginning October ! the same
charge was made three months ago
be continued.
