NEVADA PRESS COMMENT

Clark County Review: 1t has oeen
stated that the women won suffrage
in Nevada in spite of the opposition
of most of the newspapers. me
fact is that few, if any. of the news
papers of Nevada really fought the
proposed amendment. Papers OPP
posed to suffrage mostly confined
their activity on the subject to oc-
casional sarcastic remarks or alleged
iokes-for newspaper men are wise
in their day and generation some
times.
Clark County Review: Elko news
papers are bitterly divided on the
proposition of whether the changes
made by the Tax Commission are
good or bad for the county. The
evident conclusion is that there is
either sonnet. ing rotten witn the
changes made or something rotten
in Elko County.
Virginia Chronicle: The collectors
of taxes throughout Nevada are not
to be envied this year, for they are
the ones who receive the pleasant
references to the powers that be.
Every tax collector should have a
complaint book on his desk, If, in
fact, one could be found expansive
enough. The contents would doubt
less prove interesting reading, even
though the general opinion here
abouts is that a majority of the val
uation increases are just.

British Sink 3 German Cruisers
Admiral Won Spec Loses Flagship Scharnhorst and Cruisers
Gneisenau and Leipzig IN Big Naval Battle Off

NEVADA TAX COMMISSION
GIVES LITTLE SATISFACTION
IGNORES Land Owners Protest
Against Raises in Valuations
But Suggests Remedy

Humboldt Star: A party of Hum
boldt County stockmen and ranch
ers. including r. o. Bliss, F. j. But
tor. G. M. Southwark, H. Petrie and
A. F. Trousdale. returned Monday
from Carson, where they went to
attend a conference with the State
Tax Commission in regard to the ex-
~cessive increases in land valuations
in this county recently ordered by
the commission.
The meeting, which was held Mon
day, was attended by about so stock
men and ranchers. representatives
being present from every county In
the State except Churchill and Storey,
in which counties land valuations
were not raised by the commission.
From what the local stockmen say,
the conference with the Tax Com
mission was practically barren of re-
suits. The arguments, backed by
proof that the valuation of most Of
the land along the Humboldt river
had been raised to double and treble
its actual value, were practically dis
regarded by the Tax Commission,
which refused to make any reduc-
ton in the land assessments which
it had imposed for this year.
The commission, when asked in re-
gard to its basis for fixing its valua-
tons on lands in Humboldt County,
admitted that it was done on hear
say information of sales of ranches
that had been made. The commits
sion cited two of these instances,
one being that it had information
that the Thomas Nelson ranch in
this county had been sold for SIT al
acre and the other that the Golcon-
da Cattle Company's Squaw valley
ranch had been bonded a few years
ago for $500, 900.
AS a matter of fact, as the com
mission was shown by men at the
meeting who knew what they were
talking about, the Nelson ranch was
sold at the rate of 81 an acre. in
stead of SIT, and the bond of $780,
600 on the Golconda Cattle Com
pany's property was not for one of
its ranches, but included all of its
holdings in the State-several ranch
es and all its livestock and improve
ments.
The only measure of relief offered
by the commission was the sugges-
ton that the land owners pay the
amount of the first installment OF
their 1914 taxes at the increased val
uation and that the commission
would endeaver to adjust the matter
before the time came for paying the
second installment. if the landown-
ers would furnish detailed sworn
statements of the actual value OF
their land and holdings.
1t is understood that the landown-
ers will furnish the commission with
the information which it asked for
and that they will pay their first in.
stallment of taxes under writer
protest and that suits will then b.
instituted for the recovery by tho
taxpayers Of the amounts which
have been paid above what their
taxes would have been had the lane
been assessed at its actual value.
A definite plan Of action will be
determined upon at a meeting Of
Humboldt County taxpayers which
has been called 10 be held IN Whine.

WILLING TO GIVE AWAY PAPA

Pets and Broken Hearts.

The dog OF Mistral, the Provencal
poet, died the day after Mistrals re-
cent death. 1t is a fairly common
thing for dogs, cats, canaries and 9TH
er pets to die few days or even hours
after their masters. But do they die
of grief? 1t is not likely.
A Manayunk physician examined
the corpse Of canary that had sue
cumbed with its little mistress. The
caLary's death, the examination
showed, was due not to broken heart,
but to scarlet fever, the malady to
which its little mistress had herself
succumbed.
From this and from kindred post
mortems it is surmised that pets, when
they die simultaneously with their
owners, have become infected with
the disease that carried their owners
off-measles, diphtheria, typhoid. The
death-from-grief story is pretty, but,
alas, 1t won't wash.
