themselves into politics and cause
the defeat of IN IN who have the
progressive interests of the State

close Of the session hunt new fields

Interests in this state that should
be represented and work hand in

people, and those are the taxpayers
and the great labor organizations
and in selecting men to represent
them, they should steer clear o.

NEW TAX METHODS
HERE TO STAY

1t is quite possible thst TIE fall
campaign may witness q battle be-
tween the tax dodgers snd the tax
payers. The Equalization of tax
alton simply means that all classes
pay alike in proportion to their
holdings.
1t means that there is no favored
class who are to be above the law
or exempt from its workings. 1t
means that if John Smith owns a
miners cabin and one COW that he
has to pay taxes on the proper
valuation of that property. It also
mean that if William Smith lives
in q $50, 600 home and he's 10, 900
cattle that he must pay taxes on
every head. He is not to put in his
house to the assessor at $4,000 and
his cattle at 1880 head. This was
the old method of taxation in vogue
for many years in Nevada, but it
don't go any more.--Carson APP
peal.
How does the Appeal figure out
that the man who owns 10, 900
head Of cattle must pay taxes on
every head" when the "xentlemen's
agreement" with that same cattle
man gives him an arbitrary reduc-
ton of % per cent? The Appeal
will please explain its reasoning.

BEESWRX DEPOSIT

of the most unusual deposits in this
land where natural wonders
abound. Recently they happened
upon a hill near the Binkley prem

ity a hill of wax, left there appar-
emily ny wild bees, which must
have been there in times past in
great numbers or over a long per-
iod of time, for it is estimated that
tons upon tons Of the wax lies in
the hill.
Samples have been on exhibit in
Fallon and are said to indicate the
depusit one of real commercial
value and in due course of time
