NOT SO BAD AFTER ALL

The Southern Pacific Railroad company pays taxes in Nevada to
the amount of $4,000 pei day Colonel Carl Young of the Rock
roller" pays 100000. Yet Young raises a bigger commotion about the
extravaganccs OF the state than would the railroad company were it
disposed to kick and turn loose its pent-up steam power in mighty
blast. And. by the way, Ncvadas wnfu1 CD extravagances for the year
1913 are not quite as bad as the Rockefeller and some other papers rep
wen though thv claim as their authority the annual report of
the state controller. That interesting pamphlet puts the states expen-
dnues for 1913 at something over 100000. The actual fact is that
Nevadas expenses for 1913, including preliminary work o capitol add
tons, were less than $o23OW,a difference OF S1OOOWO, as can be
atcsted by the report OF Paul CASTOR, the states accountant.
The controllers figures are exaggerated and due o the fact that he
charges as expense the puth base of Nevada state bonds, $30O00O; pur-
chase OF California state highway bonds, $1564426; purchase of Church
i'll county school bonds, $6567Z0; purchase of New Mexico state re-
funding bonds, Si2oS25; purchase OF Clark county court house bonds.
$7716250; state lean to general fund, Sll6451I3; redemption of Nevada
state 4 per cent bonds $234WO0, and many other items of a similar char
acter, which make up the discrepancy between the 100000 and the
$923WO. In fact, investment made for the state, in most cases bring
ing in substantial inetes and which any private individual would re-
gard as assets, are charged up as expenses.
Nevada has population of about 100000; its annual expenses are
a little over 100000, approximately $40 per capna. The per capita

With prohibition in nine states and much dry territory III others,

suade the people to repuGate the Wilson administration by overturning

Mobilization OF the Republican party and give the Progressves the bal

Ihe beat was made possible, de-
spite the Mexican censorship which
for all other newspaper men was air
tight, by resort to simple private
code employed by Shepherd and the
New York Office of the United Press.

tive to the shipment of some photo

to private address in New York, did
the trick, and while the correspond

succeeded in getting word of in
