NEVADA TAX EXPERT
TALKS ON EFFICIENCY
"TAX LID SHOULD BE KEPT
ON. MANY TRY TO
TILT III.

San Francisco, Aug. ll.--The ques-
tion whether public utilities should be
assessed for taxation by public serv-
ice commissions occupied some of
the attention of the National Con-
ference of Taxation here today. f. N,
Fletcher of Reno, Nevada former
member of the Nevada State Tax
commission sketched the develop
ment of the public utilities alluding
to the starting efficiency now shown
as compared with the previous waste
full individual effort and said that
this efficiency was carrying with II
enormous profits to which the public
had paid little attention.
He dismissed the suggestion that
public utilities under strict regula-
tion, should not be taxed at all by
noting that in such case a part of
the public would be benefited at the
expense of a larger part not served
by the utility and the loss in taxes
would have to be made up by other
property on wholly unfair proper
ton. The same reasoning he con-
tended would apply to municipal
ownership under which cheapcning
of rates to small portion Of the
community would give them an unfair
over the taxpayers gener.
ally. mo one is injured by keeping
the tax on" he said, "but always the
many are injured for the benefit OF
the few by taking it Off
Assuming then that the public
should be taxed, the ques-
tion arises as to the amount OF the
tax and whether the valuation should
be the same for tax as for rate pur-
poses. NO difficulty arises in the
trained mind in ascribing different
value for each purpose, as rates are
largely based on what ia put into the
as investment while taxes
are assessed on what Is taken out as
income One is an investment value,
The other an income or market value
Under constant and proper regula-
lions the two would tend to come to-
gether as the fixing of rates is the
chief factor in the market value Of
Utility"
He held that as the questions re-
quire expert analysis Of facts and
rs the same set of facts must be used
or both rate and tax purposes, the
same expert body Of public service
could well determine
10Th issues.

Bryan's Commoner.

For a man who travels so much
and talks SO much Mr. Bryan does
a vast amount of work with his
pen or typewriter, and it would
seem that his productive capacity
is inexhaustible. He is constant
ly making speeches and giving out
interviews, but his paper is always
filled with his writings, and it
must be said that it contains a
vast amount of valuable informa-
tion-good, not only for present.
day enlightenment, but for future
reference. Since changing his
publication from a weekly to a
monthly he has increased its size,
and the last number contains thir-
ty-two well-filled pages, covering
almost every question of public
interest, and especially with ref.
erence to our national govern
ment. Whether we agree with
Mr. Bryan or not, his indefatigable
labor presents the country with
facts and figures that it could not
otherwise obtain without infinite
trouble. Mr. Bryan is strenuously
opposed to the lingo policy that
would have us plunge into war
with Mexico and Germany with
out more ado. He wants his
country to keep out of the war,
and to figure on the consequences
before drawing the sword. The
advocates of peace may not be as
spectacular and attractive as the
staggering and swashbuckling
advocates of war, but they are
better friends to their country and
to humanity, and they are giving
Wilson greater and more
servicable assistance. News Scim-
itar.
