THE TAX COMMISSION

Some of the counties ire raising a cry against the action of the
that special interests are taxed higher than they have been. That this
is right is indicated by the fact that not n of these companies has
seen fit to contest the right of the Tax commission to raise their
rating or the justice OF their conduct in doing SO. This of itself sui
fees to demonstrate tic the little fellow who pay. more than his fair
percentage of the taxes that he is n longer to be the goat of the big
companies who have been accustomed to nominate and elect county
assessors and commissioners to suit their W ends
1t is a notorious fact that the big companies of Nevada have escap-
ed paying more than a fraction of their just taxes and the remarkable
fact that assessors could be continued in office year after year implies
they gave satisfaction to those who had the influence and wealth to
control the elections. This placed a premium on the services of the
men who succeeded in giving the big interests. the best showing in
assessing property. If they did not suit the whms of the big cattle
companies, land corporations, mining investors and others engaged in
exploiting the resources of Nevada they were shelved with as little
conjunction as on would kick a tarantula off the sidewalk.

The New York Times has published a interview with Jacob A.
Schih, one of the best known bankers of that city, o n the subject of
the European war.
Although he is a native of Germany, and says he thinks conditions
compelled his fatherland to make val he calls the invasion of Belgium
"a most unjustihabe action" and does no desire a complete victory
for either side OF the great conflict. In this regard he says:
The German character is o only selfrelant which is admir-
ale, but it readily becomes domineenng, particularly when in the ascend
ancy.
I'm the role of a world conqueror Germany would be a world
dctator-woud indulge n a domination which would be almost unbea1-
able % almost every other nation.
Particularly would this be the case in respect to her relations
with the United States, a nation with which she has always had and
always must have intimate trade and commercial relations"
Coming from a German in warm sympathy with his native country,
that is a frank admission.
But the same thing may be said, although perhaps in lesser degree,
Of England, France Or Russia.
SO, doubtless, it would be best for the world to have the al end
in complete exhaustion for both sides rather than complete victory for
either the Allies or Germany and Austria.
The best possible result would be such a showing of the folly,
waste and cruelty of "a as to bring about general disarmament, under
such binding stipulatons, safeguards, guarantees and agreements as
would ensure lasting peace-Sacramento Bee.
