In times of peace the Dutchmen

their court. Royal families are an

one from wondering whether white

court to do Il good deal Of their think

BRIDGE BY
Clever TRICK
Small Bicycle Patrol of Ger

of Structure.

Berlin, Nov. 14.-In the recent OPP
erations Of the Germans against the
French on the left bank of the Marine
a bridge over that river was held by
a ruse for six hours by a cicycle squad
of fifteen pioneers, with the German
vanguard twenty kilometers away
and with an English brigade in BIZ
vouac two kilometers west Of the
bridge and a French cavalry division
a short distance east Of 1t.
The officer in charge of the pioneers
had been instructed to ascertain
whether the bridge was still intact.
On his arrival he found hat such was
the case and pursuant to instructions
proceeded to fortify the little shanty
of the bridge-tender by placing sand
bags against its walls. In addition tho
ming across the bridge were cut and
the tracks of the railroad were torn
up.
While the pioneers were buslly n
gagged, in this. about 100 French re-
servists put in appearance. The men
had just been called in and had to
cross the bridge to reach their destina-
ton. How to hold the bridge until the

planned that he and his men We're an
English bicycle patrol which had been
detailed to prevent anybody crossing
the bridge until Z O'clock that night.
The. barricade which the men were
building, added the. officer, was intends
ed to facilitate the defense of the
bridge against the Germans. AS the
German. officer stated in his letter
which brought this news, the French
reservists believed the story, though
they found 1t difficult to understand
why they should be barred from cross
ing the bridge. Finally this also was
overcome by the FEASIBILITY of tho
story told by the officer, and later the
Frenchmen wen to a nearby village
to ecure meat and wine for the sup
posed English patrol.
The German officer was urged by
the French reservists to retreat when
the Germans put in appearance after
six hours of anxious waiting by the
pioneer squad. This ne refused to do
with the remark that he did not fear
the Germans. Later the French re-
servists had the doubtful pleasure of
hearing the officer tell them: I'VE are

given the iron cross.

ESTABLISHED 1870
The State Tax Commission

Emmett Boyle, member of the
State Commission. passed through
Fallon Monday on his way to Yering-
ton from Rawhide. whittier he went
last week at the conclusion of his in
vestigation in this valley. says the
Fallon Standard. His visit to the
mining district was for the purpose
of effecting a solution to entangle-
ments involving taxation matters.
While here Mr.. Boyle gave this paper
the following interview. which will
tend to clear up numerous doubts in
the minds of our readers regarding
the aims and purposes of the State
Tax Commission:
The sole business of the Tax Com
mission is the securing of equaliza-
ton in assessments. 1t has nothing
whatever to do with the expenses of
State and county government. The
Legislature contracts all the bills
which must be met by the taxpayers
and sets the State tax rate which
determines the amount of revenue
collected by the State on the aggre-
gate assessment of all property with
in its confines.
The Legislature at its last session
appropriated in round numbers ST.
$50, 900 and set the State tax rate at
66 cents for 1913 and 60 cents for
1914, two cents of the last amount
not being applicable to the ordinary
running expenses of the State Gov
ernment. In order to meet its obi
cations and to take care of float
ing indebtedness of about 500, 900
which was created prior to the crea-
ton of the tax commission, it was
necessary to increase the assessment
in 1913 to $ll3, 900, 900 and in 1914 to
approximately $127 100000; the
larger 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
over the figures at which it was as
sessed in 1913, all of this class of
property being rated at 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 differential being con-
sidered equitable in view of the fact
that our constitution and statutes
provide for a classified assessment
upon mines. AS result OF tne
1913 assessment the tax commission
adjusted the bullion tax with the
larger mining companies after the
full returns had been made to the
county assessors, and collected be-
tween $50, 900 and $4,000 in addi-
tional taxes from the larger mining
interests, three companies in south

But exactly the same rule will apply
here as in every other county in the
State and the commission is certain
that it will finally have farm lands in
Nevada assessed on an equality with
all other forms of wealth."
