SENSIBLE TAX ON
LEGISLATIVE PROCEEDINGS

will cause more or less alarm to those
interested in an equitable system o!
taxation in Nevada, but | am not
prepared to say that these same pro-
visions are not really good | refer
to the provision making the county
assessors members of the state board
of equalization. I have not the
slightest doubt that il these assessors
will honestly cooperate with the tax
commission in an effort to fairly and
justly equalize the taxes, they will
prove of enormous benefit. But, on
the other hand, the county assessors
in the past have never shown "a dis
position to work along these lines;
they have obstinately refused to
even consider evidence, exhaustive
and complete, showing the valuation
of certain property. Whether their
policy will change when they are
forced to realize that public seuti-
ment is insistently demanding that
on questions of taxation the small
property owner and the large prop
erty owner shall stand exactly on
the same plane, remains to be seen
There is one serious objection to
the bill in its present form-the APP
preparation. 1t will be absolutely
impossible for the commission to ac-
complish beneficial results, intelli-
gently arrived at, with the appropri-
alton contained IN the present BILL
If the tax commission is to be handi-
capped for lack of funds to properly
and scientifically equalize taxes in
the state, it were far better that the
commission be abolished entirely.
The $4,000 appropriation proposed
will not enable the commission to
check any certain specific class of
property in the state, much less
land holdings. The land holders
are now the most persistent and
vehement denouncers Of the commits
sion, with probably fair warrant for
their attitude, due entirely to lack of
a sufficient appropriation in the past
which should be overcome in the
future

Democrat
A deal of disappointment has beer
, experienced here in Carson by those
vitally interested in mearures pend
ing.
The Tax Commission bill-tht
modified bill-was put over for anoth.
er week, pending the printing OF GER
tain necessary amendments.
The divorce bill came up Thursday
and was saved only by friends of the
measure changing their vote before
the result was announced, in order
to move reconsideration No one
at this time can say what the result
will be on this bill, but to nae 1t look IS
as il it would pass with a safe con.
stitutional majority
The racing bill has been the cen
ter OF attraction for the greater part
of the week. Delegations of civil
league workers appeared before the
committee having the bill in charge,
and protested against its passage,
but it is evident that their efforts
failed to impress either the commit
tee or the assembly, as the committee
reported the bill out favorably, with
the recommendation that it pass, and
the assembly, by almost unanimous
vote, sent the bill to the governor.
Thus endeth another chapter in
the moral history of the state.
AS | have said before, this legisla
ture is working along lines which
they are pleased to demoninate as
liberal There has apparently
been recession in public sentiment

sentiment-on moral questions The

Contrary to the general impres
sion that has gone out from Carson
regarding supposed trades that have
been made to affect results along
lines of q liberal policy, | give it as
my best judgment that no such
trades have been made, or if they
have, they have been completely con-
cealed.
The vote On the tax commission,
on the divorce question, on the rae
ing bill-in fact all bills SO far con
considered by the legislature-woud
indicate that each legislator was fol-
lowing the dictates OF his own judg-
ment in casting his vote.
The modified tax commission bill
as introduced by the ways and means
committe of the senate, will no doubt
pass without serious opposition.
There are provisions IN the bill which

Game Wardens Make Arrests.

1t would seem that fishermen of
the state must not destroy carp with
trot line baited with two hard
shelled crabs because of a foolish
provision that states you may only
use trot line after the 18th of Ma!
and then one that only extends hall
way across the river.
If more of the game wardens
throughout the state would take the
same interest il the conservation
and increase of game as our war.

TWO PECULIAR ACCIDENTS.
DEBORAH Young Ladies Encounter
Exciting Experiences.

Two accidents happened to young
ladies in DEBORAH the past week,
which were exciting to the ladies to
! say the least, and fortunately none
were seriously injured, although
the particular accidents might have
resulted very seriously.
Last Friday afternoon Miss Lu
Rena Lamm went over to a neighbors
Mr.. and Mrs. Halvorson, who live
next door to the Lamm home on East
! Water street. When she came out
of the residence she walked across
the platform over the we'll in the
yard and it broke through, precipi-
tating her into the we'll, which was
about twelve feet deep. Fortunately
she caught the edge of the platform,
and drew herself out. 1t was close
call to a serious injury, and as il
was she only sustained few slight
bruises.
On Sunday evening about nine o.
clock another exciting accident hap
pened to two young ladies in front
of the DEBORAH State Bank building.
The Misses Esther Pfster, Mabel
Johnson, Ella Ramsay and Josie Nef-
stad were walking East on Water
street, the two former being near
est the building. They had just
about passed tie bank building
when two squares 1ax4 feet each
Of the cement sidewalk caved in and
Misses Pfster and Johnson went
down with the cement. The only
thing that saved them from serious
injury was the fact that the base
ment under the walk was filled with
coal up to within about two feet of
the TOP. If they had gone to the
bottom and the heavy cement pieces
had fallen on them, their injuries
might have been very serious. AS 1t
was Miss Pfister's back was some
what injured and Miss Johnson suf-
fered sprained thumb.

brella can gain a reward by return
ing the umbrella to Public Opinion

session of the owner for seven years,
and consequently he dislikes very
much to lose it. Just bring the UNI

will be paid.

the way had no doors. The little one
