Vienna. Feb. 21.-After parliamentary
vrangle continuing for more than wear
the new income tax bill has been finally
passed. and the Austrian taxpayer finds
himself in sympathy with the American
citizen in figuring out the worst that can
befan him under the terms OF the new

The taxing ~ incomes is not a new

Also persons having only one other 10
provide FOR. such a. married persons with

DENIES THAT SLUR WAS MEANT

The Nevada papers that recently published al article from the
Sunset magazine and charged it with omrrng this state because "
contained in pa, enthcHs in the body of the extract the statement
"fcw suspect that Nevada raMcs livestock" have received letters from
Charles X. Yield. editor Of the Sunset, in which he expresses regret
that the article wa so miscon>trued and misinterpreted, and tnat It
however," he adds, "enough ignorance OF Nevada to make the express
sion possible. The writer OF the paragraph i, a man iron Oregon,
a. enthusiastic weNerner, and he wrote the entire paragraph WIN
an earnest desire to boost Nevada Yet find, upon questioning
him, that he himself believed Nevada to be, for the most part, a
mineral producing state, and that the facts which he put into the
paragraph had surprised him, and that he had been but expressing
himself when he said few suspect that Nevada raises livestock"
The statement Of Mr. Field is in line with an editorial which
appeared in the Appeal a couple of weeks ago and embodied the
article that is the IL Of the controversy, which the Appeal con-
shdered a boost, rather than a knock.
In its article the Appeal took the ground that Nevada generally
was not known az a stock raising country, o as a cereal producer.
That outside of Reno, which was known as the habitat OF Divorces;
the world; GoldGeld, a. the mother Of wildcats, and Wmncmucca.
Nevada was almost unknown in the east. These may be strong
statements and hard doses for the average Nevadan to swallow, but
they are facts nevertheless.
In the east as little is known OF Nevada and its capabilities as
is known in the west of Arkansas and its wonderful timber, mineral
and agricultural resources They are both great states, and Provi
dencc overlooked nothing when he made his distribution there. but
a has almost criminany passed them up and the natives them
selves have been the last ones to boost and advertise them to the
world.
The browning shame, too, i, the disposition evinced in many quar-
tiers OF Nevada to ignore the great expositions to be held in Cali
fornia in 1915. Here is an opportunity, at an almost minimum #
expense, to put before the eyes Of the millions who will visit th<
fair from all parts of the world an exhibit that will represent in a
some would overlook this grand opportunity because Of fancied
wrongs inflicted by California and Caifornians. With such an el-
men i'll its midst, is it to be wondered, as the Appeal remarked once
before, that Nevada is the least populated state in the Union.
