.ELKO HOLDS BACK
TAXES DUE STATE

With the exception of Elko, every
county in Nevada has turned over
to the state treasurer its proper
tion Of the taxes,d due the state. Ell
ko refuses, however. to send in its
pro rata till the state rclmburses
it for the expense Of sending its
books and tax rolls to Carson last
fall. when thew were submitted to
and Investigated by the Tax COM
mission. As a result of Elko's
mulishness, for it a be termed in
no other way, every state fund is
tied up. as the appropriations
therefor cannot be made till the
money from every county is avail
able.
Elko insists that the old claim
must be paid before she will send
in the money and the attorney
general declares that the state
does no. owe it, as the claim is
illegal.-Carson Appeal.
The Appeal is unfair in the above
statement. Treasurer Miller has
paid all of the states proportion of
taxes to the state treasurer Except
5000 which he claims is due the
county as the states proportion of
the expenses of taking the assess
ment rolls to Carson for examina-
tion by the tax commission and its
proportion of $125 allowed Miss
Keith as deputy treasurer during
the collection of taxes. He holds
the receipt of State Treasurer Nc
MILAN for SIS, 990.41, being the
full amount due the state on the
first installmeBt of taxes, less tine
5000 in controversy. This amount
has been certified by the county
auditor to Treasurer Miller as the
law directs end vouchers for the
same have been sent to the state
controller, but have been disallow-
ed by that off
Treasurer Miller claims, and
rightly too. that the expense of S85
in sending the books to the state
tax commission and the $125 paid
to Miss Keith were expenses caused
wholly by the state and that the
state should pay its proportion of
these amounts. Previous to this
year he had no assistance in the
collection of taxes. But this year,
by eason of the tax commission
holding the books at Carson, the
auditor was unable to turn over
the books to him in time for him
to do the work and assistance was
absolutely necessary. AS the state
was the cause of the delay, he says
it must pay its proportion of the
expense the county incurred.
Although Attorney General That.
cher holds that the state is rot liza
BILE for the 5000, Treasurer Miller
holds just as firmly that the state,is
liable and says he will not pay an
other cent. Efforts haze been made
to have him pay the disputed
amount under protest, hut he re-
fuses to be cnught in such a net.
His account with the state is bal
anced and will remain so. If any
further steps are taken, the state
must take them.

THE COUNTY HOSPITAL

The county hospital is a very ex
pensive institution to the taxpayers
and will be found more expensive
in years to come unless a different
system for its management is put
in operation. In saying this We
are not criticising Steward
Tsber in any way, neither are we
finding fault with the commissions
ers. We r merely stating a fact
that is plainly evident to all who
will look into the present condi-
tions.
With this heavy expense comes
the question of a change in the
system of conducting the hospital
or the continued increase in its
cost. We believe that with the
proper satudy system could be
devised hat would make the
hospital less expensive and at the
same time add to its efficiency.
This we leave to the proper author
tiles TO solve.
Last month Steward Taber's bill
amounted to $767.25 for the board
of the patients alone. Add to this
the amounts paid for coal, water,
medicines and physicians and the
total expense Of the hospital for
last month was over a thousand
dollars.
We knew no taxpayer who OF.
jects to paying for the care Of old
broken down men and women but
thew do complain Of supporting a
class OF middle-aged and young
men who squander their earnings
in drink and riotous living End
when sickness or other misfortunes
overtakes them become a county
charge. There should be some way
devised to make this class pay
for their board and treatment.
But we started out to correct a
report that is floating around that
Steward Tabet does not fe a
monthly report with the commits.
%sioners. There is no foundation
for this report as a sworn report is
filed with the county clerk every
month and is approved by the coun.
ty commissioners.
At the request Of taxpayers we
publish the names of the patients
in the hospital during December
1913. They are as follows:
j Guinnip. l. Miller, W Young,
AL Becker, C Fitzpatrick, r Saun-
der, E D Hart, Vim. o'Brien,
