NO RELIEF FROM
TAX Commission

1t is not probable that taxpayers Of
Humboldt county will receive any re-
lief this year from the state tax CON-
mission. The executive committee is
in consultation with counsel, but just
what steps will be taken has not yet
been determined upon.
Following is a copy of the kilograms
exchanged between Chairman Button,
of the executive committee, and the
tax commission:
"Wlnnemucca, Dec. IL, 1914.
Nevada State Tax Commission,
Carson City. New: Permanent
organization of taxpayers effected
here today attended by repre-
sentatives from Elko, Humboldt,
Lander and Eureka counties for
the purpose of contesting excess
slve valuations placed on prop
erty by your board. Our Com
missioners will agree to collect
taxes as fixed by board of equali-
zation of this county. viii you
consent to their action, otherwise
we will contest as an organization.
Fl. ]. BUTTON.
Chairman"
In a telegraphic reply to the above
to consider the proposition of the
taxpayers association. The reply Of
the tax commission is as follows:
Carson, Dec. IL, 1914.
IF. ]. Button, Chairman Ttax-
payers Committee, Winnemucca,
New: Your wire this date re-
ceived. Impossible to consider
your proposal to disregard tax
commissions classification of land
values for assessment purposes
for 1914. and allow you to pay
this years taxes on the basis of
the equalized value placed by
Boards of County Commissioners
in Humboldt, Lander, Eureka
and Elko counties. To do so
would result in a deficiency In the
assessed valuation necessary for
State purposes and would permit
land classes of property to
escape payment of its just share
of the burden of State and coun-
ty government. Further, such
action would cause a substantial
increase in county. town and
school tax rates, and therefore
shift the burden on to other
classes of taxpepyers who would
have no remedy and who should
not be penalized further. The
couty rates have been heavily re-
duced in all of the counties above
named upon order of this COM
mission to the advantage of all
taxpayers and the rolls have
been extended upon such reduced
basis. and it is out of the question
to consider any further changes
in the rolls for this year. If up
on full showing on behalf of your
organization. followed by investi-
cation thereafter by this commits
sion, it shall appear that any in
justice has been done in this
years assessment, the commits
sion will make fair adjustment
thereof on next years assess
ment.
