November 10Th. 1913.

November 10Th, 1913.
The taxpayers of Douglas county,
in mass meeting assembled, to con-
slider the order of the Nevada Tax
Commission, dated October 18th,
1913, providing for horizontal
increase of Is per cent in valuation
on all taxable property in Douglas
county, do respectfully show and
represent.
WHEREAS the State Board of
Assessors of the State of Nevada at
its regular meeting in January, 1913
did investigate, determine and fix
the values of sheep, steers, milch
cows, stock, telephones, telegraph
lines, railroads and other properties
throughout the State of Nevada for
the year 1913; such values so deter
mined and fixed affecting all of
certain and similar kinds of proper
ty throughout the state equally;
and said values SO determined and
fixed being in accordance with the
statutes in such case made and pro-
vided and being reasonable, equit-
able and just;
AND WHEREAS,s the Board of
County Commissioners of Douglas
County in March, 1913, did fix the
rate of taxation required to raise
the funds necessary for county and
district purposes for the year 1913
and based said rate upon the valu-
ations as fixed by the said state
board of assessors in January, 1913;
AND WHEREAS, since the levy
by said Board of County Commits
sioners the Nevada Tax Commission
has Arbitrarily raised valuations
made by said State Board of Assess
ors and all other needless surplus of
money in the county treasury con-
trary to the spirit and intent of the
laws and statutes regulating tax
alton and the administration of the
affairs of the counties of the state;
AND WHEREAS, the valuations
fixed for sheep, steers, milch cows,
ETC.. by the State Board of Assess
ors in January, 1913, became the
valuation of such live stock and
other property throughout the state
for taxable purposes for said year;
and the said order of the Nevada
Tax Commission Arbitrarily raising
and increasing said valuations 15 per
cent in Douglas County results in
live stock and other properties be-
ing assessed in Douglas county at a
different and greater valuation than
similar property in other portions
of the state, i. e., so that steers tax
ed at $40 a head throughout the
state are taxed at SAG a head in
Douglas County, such difference be-
ing contrary to the uniform tax and
assessment guaranteed by the con-
stitution and the laws of the State
Nevada;
AND WHEREAS, similar taxable
properties in other portions of the
state and nearer to the market and
enjoying superior transportation
facilities and therefore intrinsically
more valuable, are all valued for
assessment at lower amounts;

ter the levy in March, 1918, did be-
gin, as provided by law, the collect
ion of taxes on all personal property
in the County of Douglas, for state,

ceipts in full for all taxes due and
payable and to be paid for the year

every case;

las and from the state of Nevada
and cannot now be found; and the
tax collector states that it is i'm
possible to collect any further tax
from the owners of said personal
property or to locate or hold said
property for said tax;
AND BY REASON THEREOF,

be generally enforced in said Doug
las county, and therefore said in

Douglas County to have the uniform
and equal rate of taxation guaran-
teed to all citizens of the state;
AND WHEREAS, the Tax Com
mission disregarding the rights of

possible of enforcement, and viola
tive of the constitution guarantee
ing equal and uniform taxation to
all, contravening the spirit of the
laws governing taxation and the
conduct of public affairs;
AND BE 1T FURTHER RESOLV-
ED, that it is the sense of this meet
ing that said Nevada Tax Commits
sion exceeded its powers in making
said order and said Commission is
respectfully requested and petition
ed to make such further order or
orders as will give to the taxpayers
of Douglas county assessments and
taxation equal and uniform with
that of other taxpayers of the state
