Suith, who was shot and killed by
Alice Howard at her pla.e on the
24th, is en- file in the clerks office.
The evidence shows clearly that
Smith was a very very quarrelsome
man who was a slave to drugs and
drink. The evidence Of the Howard
woman was that Smith came to her
cabin early in the morning and
asked for a drink While she was
getting it, he began raving and
threatened to kill her. He caught
her by the throat and choked her.
She struggled with him and called
up the Success saloon for help.
While struggling with Smith, she
managed to get her revolver and
shot him. He did not speak after
the shot vas fired. Other wit
nesses testified to Smith being a
very ~quarrelsome man, especially
when under the influence of drugs
and drink. From the evidence the
jury rendered the following Pc
culiaf verdict:
We, the coroner's jury, summon
ed and sworn to sit on the remains
of one Tim Smith, who came to his
death on the morning of May "a,
1914, in the toHn of Jarbidge, Elko
county, Nevada:
Find that said Tim Smith came to
his death from a gunshot wound in
the hands of one Alice Howard.
After the Nearing Of the evil
dence in the case and due d~tlibera-
fion, We the jurors, are Of the
unanimous opinion that said Alice
Howard had a perfect right to de-
fend her life against the deceased.
We, therefore, find i verdict of
justifiable homicide.

have brought to light the fact that
there are many hundreds of thous-

of taxes to ne collected for state
purposes this year, t~he'increases in
valuation of property being met by
a corresponding decrease in the
state rate. The same is practically
true Of the county taxes, nearly
every county in the state having
levied the 1914 rate considerably
lower than the rate prevailing last
year. The tax commission has no
power tn change the state rate
but in the event of an assessment
larger than will be needed to pro-
duce the necessary state revenue it
has the power to reduce the assess
lnent as was done in Churchill
county last year, while the county
commissioners have the power 10
set the county rate at any time and
will undoubtedly make the rate
lower if the assessment roves larg-

THE STATE TAX COMMISSION

Tax Commissioner Boyle in an
inter view with the Churchill County
STANDARD had the following to say
regarding the aims and purposes
Of the state tax commission:
"The sole business of the tax
commission is the securing of
equalization inEassessments. ItYhas
nothing to do with the expenses Of
state and county government The
Legislature contracts all the bills
which must be met by the taxpay-
ers and sets the state tax rate
which determines the amount of
revenue collected by the state on
the aggregate assessment of all
property within its confines.
The legislature at its last ses-
sion appropriated in round mum
bers 81, 100000 and set the state
rate at 66 cents for 1913 and 80
cents for 1914, two clnts of the last
amount not being applicable to the
ordinary running expenses of the
state government. In order to
meet its obligations and to take
care Of a floating indebtedness of
about $780, 900 which was created
prior to the creation of the tax
commission, it was necessary to in
raase the assessment in 1913 to
$4,000, 900 and in 1914 to APP
proximately Sl27 900 900, the larg-
err amount returning practically the
same sum Of money TO the state
treasury as that returned by the
smaller assessment.
"The commission has just COM
pleted the valuation for assessment
of the railroads and public utility
corporations and increased the as
sessment of this class of property
in round numbers seven million
dollars owe the figures at which
it was assessed in 1918. all Of this
class of property being rated at a
full 60 per cent Of its cash value.
"The assessment Of the mining
industry, including its net proceeds,
was made in~1913 on a 60 per cent
basis, and in 1914 upon an so per
cent basis. the d%ifferential being
considered equitable in view of the
fact that our constitution and sta
tutes provide for a classified as
sessment upon mines. As a result
of the 1918 assessment the tax
commission adjusted the bullion
tax with the larger mining com
panies, after thefull returns had
been made to the county assessors,
and collected between $4,000 and
$4,000 in additional taxs from the
larger mining interests, three com.
paHi.s 10 southern Nevada paying
amounts of $4,000, $4,000 and
$4,000 respectively. with many
minor increases from smaller con-
Germs. The mining tax in Churchill
county was practically doubled in
1918 as a result Of our activities.
In the past it has been the practice
for certain mining companies to
maintain separate and distinct c0r.
poralions which operated the mill.
ing plant adjuncts of producing
mines and these milling companies
charged an arbitrary milling cost
againt the production of the
mines, thus defeating the bullion
tax rurpose'.
AS far as taxation is concerned
every n of the milling corpora
tions has been eliminated and tht
actual net proceeds are returned
for assessment purposes. The esti,
mated increase in the mining as
sessment of 1914 compared to that
Of last year will he about $1,000,
900.
