BOOSTING THE TAX COMMISSION

il given the State Tax commission by the Elko Free Press. Its editor
was a visitor to Carson a little over a week ago and while here made
it a point to investigate and study the work and accomplishments Of
the commission. The results OF his enlightenment yer published IN
his paper and reproduced in the Appeal yesterday.
Up to the time this commentator a published in the Free Press
the Appeal va practically the only paper i'll the state that had shown
appreciation o. the work the commission a doing and it never missed
an opportunity to tell its readers what vas being done. Few others
had anything to say OF the commission; most OF them, perhaps ONE
OF them inspired, complained OF the useeSness OF commissions; they
we're created only o give positions to political pets.
In a short time the lax commission expects to issue a report
showing what it has accomplished, and the Appeal has no hestancy
in stating that the report will be a revelation to the average taxpayer
has been smoked ut OF its hiding and from o on will be compelled
pay its uthing; herds of cattle bands of horses, hocks OF sheep that
have heretofore escaped the observation of the assessor have been dug
up and O N them hereafter a tax will be paid. Mines and mills have
been put on a more equitable basis than eve before, and with the
railroads and public service corporations the commission has come 10
a n understanding and nearly every possibility Tor future litigation has
been eliminated. In all the commission ha, done a wonderful work
and when its purposes shall have been thoroughly understood, as it
will be in a very brief time, there will be little talk of putting it out
of business By its work it will prove its right to live.

MEXICO'S DWINDLED HERDS

One Of the effects OF the long continued war i'll Mexico has been
the dminuuon in numbers OF it, cattle, which formerly amounted to
many millions of heads on the vast plains OF the interior.
Hundreds OF thousands OF the cattle have been slaughtered by the
bands radng columns and armies which rave been constantly in the
field. Other hundreds OF thousands have been stolen or conhscated
and millions have been shipped or driven II of the country, to be
turned into cash by either the possessors for the time being or tt
real owners.
The largest herds OF cattle in Mexico we're those Of the states
north OF San Luis Iotosi, Zacatccas and Topic.
Now this entire region has been swept clean OF cattle and farm
products by the soldiers and the bands who call themselves soldiers
that accompany the armies in the field.
Great numbers OF these cattle have been driven across the bounI-
airy line and have been sold to buyers in the United States.
No class of pundcr and loot is more eagerly sought by the rebel
commanders than cattle, for they serve o iced their followers or +"
bring cash to their pockets or bank accounts in the border towns Of
the United States.
The herds we're carefully rounded up and turned into cash at the
possible moment by the colonies and generals who were nut
for liberty and loot.
For three years Mexico has contributed annually a supply of cattle
this country far greater than normally, and the cattle buyers CT
Texas, New Mexico and Arizona have secured large numbers at 10
prices from lawful owners eager to convert them into cash before they
could be seized by robbcr bands, QucK to dispose of them after seizure
from their legal owncr.
The result is that Mc<cos herds are less in total numbers OF
cattle now than they have been for fifty years, and very few cattle will
now be shipped from the country, as there is title or no surplus after
the home demand for meat is supplied.
This countrys supply Of cattle from Mexico may re conSldere1
as terminated for the men five or ter years.

Resolutions Passed for
 a Joint Session

The house upon assembling imme. diately and unanimously passed 6 concurrent resolution for the join, session with the senate at p. m.
 The senate without debate adopted the house resolution for o'clock joint session.
 A bill to appropriate $50,000,00t to be expended by the president was introduced by Senator Chamberlain, chairman of the military affairs com. mittee, to which the bill was referred
 The Chamberlain bill provides:
 That the president of the United States be and he is hereby authorized to expend in his discretion for the national defense and for each and every purpose connected herewith the sum of fifty million dollars out of any moneys in the treasury not otherwise appropriated, which sum shall remain available until expend- ed"
 This is identical with the bill passed before the war with Spain.
 The senate passed the volunteer army bill for taking into the regular service militia regiments in time of war The bill already has passed tho house.
 It was a solemn and quiet house that voiced subdued but determined affirmative to the speakers question on the resolution for a joint session. Grave of face the members stood while Chaplain Couden brought home the situation in his prayer, when he said:
 "Oh, God, a question of grave con- sequence confronts us here today. A crisis which affects thousands of people must be met Impart to the president. his advisers and the mem bers of this congress wisdom, courage and fortitude that they may act in ac- ccrdance with the highest conceptions of truth and justice and right, so that civilization may be advanced and things which make for peace and righteousness may progress"
 Speaker Clark and Chairman Flood of the foreign affairs committee con- ferred with Democratic Leader Un- derwood and arranged that as soon as the president shall have read his message the foreign affairs commit tee shall meet and report immediate ly a resolution.
 MT. Underwood after telephoning to the White House, said:

Patience Not Lost
 By President Wilson

The president emphasized that he had not lost his patience with Mexico for to lose patience seemed to him an act of weakness on the part of a per- son strong enough to do as he ought. but that he felt such incidents as worse and eventually bring about g. state of conflict.
 The president returned to Wash 'ington from White Sulphur Springs, w Va, at 7:54 o'clock and went at ference with Secretary Bryan. This preceded a special cabinet meeting called for 10:30 o'clock.
 President Wilson had outlined his message last night while travelling, and after going over a first draft with the secretary of state submitted it to the ca binet.
 House and senate leaders were early at the White House to learn the details of the presidents plans so they might prepare the necessary resolutions putting congress squarely behind the president and giving him full authority to act.
 While the presidents plans were

 2-Seizure of the Mexican gunboats in those waters.
 3-Seizure of the railroad from Vera Cruz to the Mexican capital to point including a trestle twenty miles west of Vera Cruz. to prevent the route to the Mexican capital be- ing blocked.

 , There can in what we do be no thought to aggression or of selfish ag- grandizement.

New Proposition Is
 Submitted By Huerta

The only suspicion of a break in the silence between Washington and Mexico City came during the forenoon when Charge Algara carried a com- munication to Secretary Bryan. The charge said he conside cred 1t was some what different from the proposition which was refused last night, but Secretary Bryan declared it was the same as that forwarded by Charge O'Shaughnessy and could not be &C., cepted. MT. Algara telegraphed to the Mexican foreign minister, Senor Portillo y Rojas. that Mr. Bryan had encouragement"
 Officials who knew of Mr. Algara's s message said it might be construed as a proposal to eliminate the written guarantee for a. return salute by the United States which Huerta demanded early yesterday, but stated that the officials evidently did not accept this as of such import.
 Huerta's telegram to President Taft on, February IS, 1913, was given out again at the White House today and officials declared it's words had a significant bearing on the present situation. It follows: "1 have the honor to inform you that have over thrown this government; the forces are with me. and from now on peace and prosperity will reign.

Wilson Talks To
 Newspaper Men

The following portion of President respondents on the Mexican situation was authorized today at the White House:
 The president said:
 II want to say to you gentlemen, do not get the impression that there is about to be war between the United outlook at present, at all. In the first place, in no conceivable circum- stances will we fight the people of Mexico.
 We are their friends and we want to help them in every way that we can to recover their rights and their government and their laws. and for the present am going to congress to present a special situation and seek their approval to meet that special situation. ~ s Tt Is only an issue between this government and a person calling him. self the provisional president of Mexico, whose. right to call himself such we have never recognized in any way
 'So that I had a feeling of un- easiness as I read the papers this morning as if the country were getting on fire with war enthusiasm. I have no, enthusiasm for war: have an enthusiasm for justice and for the dignity of the United States but not for war. And this need not veventuate into war if, we handle 1t with flrmness and promptness'
 The president said that in reality he was going to congress on am occasion for which, strictly speaking, it was not necessary to obey, but that 1t was his desire to have the full cooperation and thought and purpose of congress. MT. Wilson said that the executive could take steps which would fall short of a declaration of war.
