Between the Rocky Mountains

TAKING THE

AT the recent ,leetnIa CT the State Tax Commission III
Reno the stoehmen OF the state met the commission and after
a somewhat lively session mutual agreements were reached by
which the stockmen in the future will pay their taxes on II
fairer basis to the rest of the taxpayers, For some reason I'M
known cattle and sheep men of the state have considered that
they had a right to some sort OF immunity from taxation not
enjoyed by ordinary mortals.
In times past they have managed to hypnotic some of the
authorities of the various counties and as a result they, in many
instances, have been able to escape with about 10 per cent of
the amount Of taxes they should have paid.
Now taxation is supposed to be equal with everybody and
the new tax commission fully recognizes this proposition. They
are playing no favorites and no one escapes. The rich and poor
stand on the same plane. If any assessors through fear or fav-
ontlsm overlook wealthy taxpayers whose influence they need
on election day, the board takes another shy at them and gath
rs them in.
The result is that the rdiculously high tax rate that has
built a wall about the state and kept capital out is being batter
ed down by the tax commission. Low valuations and high tax
Now this is going to be changed. High valuations and low tax
rates will throw the doors open and invite the world to come
to Nevada and invest.
Suppose the entire state is taxed on $780, OOO 900 valua-
ton and the tax rate is $500 on the hundred. The result is that
capital stays out. The tax rate is prohibitve. Now suppose we
increase the valuation on state property to $500 OO, 900 and
lower the tax rate to $1OO on the hundred. Does any one pay
any more taxes?
The taxes are the same with this difference. Outside cap
ital attracted by the low outside rate will come in and help pay
the taxes, which will lower the rate still more.
The tax commission is aiming at this goal and fast reach
ing it.
Already the meat trust is objecting to the meat that comes
to the United States from the Argentine Republic. They think
1t might not be just right" This solicitude for the stomachs
of the public by the meat trust is of recent origin. Not man
years ago when the packers were being tried in court for selling
and the smell drove every out of the building. None of the
Argentine meat has exploded up to date.

BOY SENT TO vERGENNES.
Leo Parker Pleaded Guilty to Misde-
meanors.

Leo Parker, the 17-year-old North
Seminary street boy, who was charged
with completely in the theft of money
at the c. j. Estabrook store in South
Barre as well as taking revolver,
dirk knife and cartridges from the hard
ware store of Reynolds & Son, entered a
plea of guilty when arraigned before
Judge H. w. Scott in city court yester-
day afternoon. The court sentenced him
10 the state industrial school in Ver-
gennes for the remainder of his minor
ity. Accompanied by Sheriff Frank I'll.
Tracy of Montpelier, the boy went to
Nergennes this forenoon.
Myron Dawson Of South Main street
and Charles Booth Of Cherry street will
be arraipned in probate court before
Judge lsank j. Martin under the newly
enacted statute which says that children
under sixteen years of age shall not be
tried in municipal court. The Booth boy
returned home yesterday. He came back
to Barre with his two comrades Sunday
evening, although he did not spend
the remainder of the night at home.
Young Dawson is still confined to his
home as the result of his exposure and
it is unlikely that he will be able to fig-
ure in the probate court hearing set for
late this afternoon.

AMUNDsEN EXPRESSES GRIEF
Over Fate of Capt. Scott, Which He Was
Loath To Believe.

Madison, Wis, Feb. ll.-Capt. Roald
Amundsen forgot his own distinction as
discoverer of the south pole last night
in expressing his profound grief over the
tragic fate of Capt. Robert r. Scott III
Antarctic seas. Captain Amundsen was
loath to believe the news, especially as
to the cause of the deaths.
Il would gladly forego any honor or
any amount of money if thereby | could
have saved Captain Scott from his ter
rible DEATH said the Norwegian ex-
plorer at his hotel last night. Cable
dispatches from London were received
by the explorer yesterday They re-
peated the press news that the Scott
party had persisted, leaving proof of
Amundsen's discovery of the pole. Cap
tain Amundsen was extremely cautious
on his comments on the reported trag-
edy All afternoon he maintained a re-
serve when inquiries touched upon the
subject and this was not lessened last
night. He told all nterviewers that un-
til he had received absolute authentic
information he would withhold state
ment on the subject.
Captain Amundsen yesterday COM
mented on the existence of crevasses
and sudden mountain storms that sweep
around the Antarctic crags and said il
was possible Scott was caught in one OF
these. Amundsen's party was often
greatly alarmed by these sudden changes
in the elements. particularly when cross
ing Devils Bend, which then was a great
sheet of ice that sounded hollow un-
der the feet. Amundsen sent men ahead
to test this ice.

that he had taken to fight but it ap-
pears that he was absent only short

FLYING SQUADRON" TO RESCUE
Auto Fire Truck Does Quick Trip to
Pearl Street Fire.

Property loss of a good many thous
and dollars was averted last evening
around o'clock. when the auto fire
truck made flying trip to Pearl street
and extinguished fire that was raging
within a small waste-paper repository
in the rear OF the Currier block and
near the Otis hotel. Fifty gallons OF
chemical solution were dumped into the
little structure before the danger of a
larger fire was over and several buckets
of water were also directed toward the
fire. The rear wall of the hotel was
badly smoked in places and belated ar
rival on the part of the regulars would
have found the building in flames. The
wsste-paper house, metal-eovered
structure, was almost totally destroyed,
although the direct loss 70 its owner is
trivial.
The building was used by tenants of
the Currier block for storing waste mat
ter and was supposed to be fun to the
caves with inhammable matter when the
fire was discovered by an upstairs ten
ant in the neighborhood. who at once
notified the FIRE station by telephone.
The origin Of the blaze cannot be de-
termined.

90 PER CENT FAVOR STRIKE.
Firemen's Votes Was Announced in New

New York, Feb. ll.--Ninety-six per
cent. Of the firemen voting favored a
strike against the 81 eastern railroads
was the official result. as announced to-
day at the joint conference of the rail-
road representatives and the Brother
hood of Locomotive Firemen and En-
ginemen.
The announcement of the vote does
not necessarily mean that a strike will
be declared. Conferences are to be held
in the hope OF reaching an agreement.
The railroad steadily refused to arbi-
trate under the Erdman act, and the
firemen were equally firm in their re-
fusal to abide by the decision Of the
special arbitration commission which
recently passed on the engineers de-
mands. The vote of the firemen on the
New Haven system was 1926 for striking
and 25 against.
