white adult residents, could petition i1 saloons with ease and that they would deprive Pine Bluff merchants of their revenue and that the city is at present. He did not believe that the business men should sit idly by and permit other towns to take away it's business. He could see no benefit insofar as the removal of the saloons were concerned. He expressed it as his belief that the Chamber of Con- merce should take the question up. because the revenue of every store i1 the city will be sadly affected if the saloons are not continued here. He declared that unless the Cham Der of Commerce took up the peti- tions and circulated them it would not be doing it's duty to the business men of the city. He offered substi- tute motion to Mir. Byrd's motion that the Chamber of Commerce take cognizance of the matter and crcu- late petitions for the saloons for 1914
 F. G. Bridges, who began by say ing that he would in all probability sign the petition for license and had always voted for license, said that he did not think that the Chamber of Commerce should take the matter up as body; that the business men could decide it individually through petitions, anyway, and that it would avoid difference of opinion in it's membership. While the Chamber of Commerce as whole was aWays looking out for the business interests of the city, he said that it was such 8 delicate matter that it would prob ably be best for the Chamber of Con- merce to take no action either way. He declared that prohibition would not be beneficial here.

He favor ed motion that all action taken by the board be wiped off and that the thing be dropped temporarily, at least. A motion to defer action until some future date prevailed and ,he meeting adjourned.
 Before adjournment, however, liar. ny Hanf stated that it was at the sug- gestio2 of another business n.erest in the city that the matter was taken before the board of trustees of the Chamber of Commerce. They thought that it was the propar tstly to put it up to. He said that he did not want to disrupt the organization and that had he thought that it would result in differences of opinion among it's members, it would nave never been talked of before the bocrd. He said he had been informed tha- some members would resign if the board; of trustees did not endorse tho license movement anu that others would resign if It did.

P. Krummes
To Accept
Postnastership

Just who is to be installed as post
master of Gardnerville is a question
at this writing, at least to the dear
public is concerned. H. A. N.
Todd, who recently received the ap-
pointment under the present ad-
ministration, has announced that
he cannot accept the office. This,
no doubt, is because that his drug
business requires all of his time.
Miss Ida Pettegrew, who acted as
clerk in the local office for several
years, was offered the job, but after
due consideration, refused to ac-
cept. In the meantime still hunt
is being made for a likely applicant
with the proper qualifications.
When it comes down to brass
tacks, the job is not such a fat one
as originally supposed and does not
justify much of a scramble. The
successful applicant is required to
lay out between $500 and $400 for
Office equipment. The Office pays
S1100 per year and while SIS per
month is allowed for rental, there
is not a suitable build Ag in town
that can be rented for less than S25
per month. The Office is in the
third class bya very small margin
and for reason should the business
fall off and the office drop back into
fourth class, the salary would fall
below $1100 per year.
Mr.. Todd would have made an
efficient postmaster and his friends
are sorry that he has not seen fit to
qualify. In the meantime l.. M.
Jacobsen is holding down the job
and will continue to do so until the
Washington authorities confirm the
appointment of the new postmaster,
who ever it may be.
Since the ABOVE was put IN type
it has been authoritavely stated that
Peter Krummes has accepted the
postmastership, he having been Of
fered the office by the Democratic
County Central Committee. Mr..
Krummes is at present residing in
Reno, but will remove his family to
Gardnerville.

BEEF STEERS
GET BARLEY
Low Price of Grain Make Ii n
Profitable Feed for Beef
and Sheep

Owing to an over supply of barley
in the Nevada markets the price
OF grain has been held at a lower
figure than for several years past.
At this time barley is selling at
S22.5 ton or more than $40 per
ton less than last season. This
slump has brought about new con-
dltion here and the Dangberg COM
pany, one of the biggest grain pro-
ducing concerns in Western Neva-
da, has started feeding barley to
beef and sheep now being fattened
for the market. Although the new
system has been in force a short
time. the stock is taking on weight
rapidly. The barley cuts down the
daily allowance of hay and accord
ing to reports, the stock takes well
to the new feed.
Several carloads of barley have
been shipped from this Valley to
Washoe county where the sheep
men are using it to fatten mutton.
1t is claimed that barley consum-
ed in this way will bring the pro-
dueer a better price than the mark
ct is paying at this time.

Acute alcoholism is supposed to be

ment could do him no good and he
died Sunday morning shortly after
taking a dose of medicine.
Deceased was about SO years of
age and was quite well known in a
number of Western Nevada towns.
In his boyhood days he resided with
his parents at Genoa. His brother,
William, resides in Amador county,
Cal.

Last Saturday afternoon the tax
payers of Douglas county held a
meeting at the Minden Hall to dis
cuss the matter of increased tax
alton. The meeting was largely at
tended and the matter was gone
into quite thoroughly. A committee
was appointed to draw up a petition
of remonstrance and when COM
pleted will be published in these
columns.
A committee, composed of H. F.
Dangberg, VIM. Hussman and c. M.
Henningsen. was appointed to rep
resent the stockmen of this county
at the meeting ordered to be held
at Reno Monday, December 8th.
The 10 per cent raise ordered by
the Tax Commission in this county,
increases the valuation S2l5, ,255.
At the rate of 1921, this brings in
a revenue of $6,263.92 from the
pockets of the tax payers. The
states share of this amount is
81, ,420.68, while s4,S43.24 goes to
the county. This raise was ordered
on all real and personal property,
but inasmuch as the county assessor
had collected nearly all of the per-
sonal property tax before the raise
was ordered and those persons hold
his receipt for taxes paid in full,
they are free from further assess
ment. In this county the personal
property amounts to $77,66S. Do
you find any fairness in this?
When the State Board of Assess
ors met at Carson last December,
they advanced the assessments to
meet the deficit of $780, being
annually made by the state govern
ment. Later the various county
commissioners fixed their tax rates
and in September sat as board of
equalization. Enter Tax Commission.
Remember that the board of assess
ors had already made provision to

the Douglas High School team will
play their second game of basket
ball with the Polacre team of Car
son at Valhalla Hail. The first game
was played at Carson some weeks
ago and Douglas was defeated.
Since that time the home team has
been strengthened and expect to
regain lost laurels at the coming
game.

meet the extra $150,000 needed to
conduct the affairs of the state.
Alfalfa land was taxed so much DER
acre, second class land so much and
on down the line, making uniform
rate in all counties. The tax COM
mission gets busy and orders a ten
per cent raise in one county, a 25
per cent reduction in another and
so on. Take Douglas county for
instance. The commission believed
that 25 per cent raise would be
right but finally fixed it at Is per
cent. Does this show that a sound
basic principle was used to establish
rates or just matter of pure and
simple guess work. If 25 per cent
was right why was Is per cent ac-
cepted? 1t is on par with the
principles of the Yiddish merchant.
Ask plenty but take what you can
get.
Remembering that the assessors
set the valuations of land in the
various counties at uniform rate
what results by the work of the tax
commission in reducing the valua-
ton 25 per cent in one county and
raising it Is per cent in another?
1t makes variance of 40 per cent
in the uniform valuations set by
the State Board of Assessors.
To return to conditions as they
Iexist in this county, it is understood
that movement is to be started
that may result in rebating the
portion of the Is per cent held by
the county, rebate to be made at
the time the second installment of
taxes is due.
Some the taxpayers have paid
under protest. This amount is held
in separate fund and cannot be
apportioned. In Elko county the
Nevada Northern and Western Pa.
cific have paid under protest and il
is quite probable that the law will
be tested in the courts.
