House Committee Considering
Suggestions by Secretary
McAdo0

Washington.-Coin with din
ner at the home of Secretary Of the
Treasury William @. McAdoo, at
which the ways and means commit
tee OF the House, as guests, got under
way the problem Of raising additional
revenue to pay for increased expendi-
lures for preparedness, 1t became
known that the administration has
thrown overheard entirely It's pre-
yious recommendations for raising
This revenue.
Among the taxes both President
Wilson and Secretary McAdoo had
proposed and which the administra-
lion will no longer urge are: A stamp
tax on bank checks. tax on gaso
line and on internal explosion engines,
which would include motor car en-
gines
Underlying the new recommends
tons for raising revenue, to which
the committee was introduced, is the
fundamental idea of placing almost
he entire burden upon the well-to-d do
and rich classes
New Proposals.
Except for one or two items, 1t Is
proposed that the laboring classes
and most Of the agricultural classes
Will escape entirely the increased tax
ltion to meet the necessary naval and
army expenditures Summed up, the
ew tax proposals are:
Increasing the amount of reve-
nue. to come from the income tax
The levying Of federal inner
itance tax.
Retaining the tariff duty on
sugar, as proposed in the Presi-
dents first recommendations to
congress in his message
Increasing by 40 cents gallon
the federal tax on whisky.
A small direct tax on sugar
consumed in this country. (This
is the item in which it is propos-
ed that all classes, rich and poor
| alike, shall contribute to the ad-
ditional revenue. 1t might be said
that over it there is already much
/ opposition in the committee and
1t may not be pushed)
An increased tax on cigars
which retail for more than 10
cents
tax on the production OF all
war munitions sold abroad.
tax on the horse power of
motor cars to be paid direct at
the factory by the manufacturer,
although ultimately it would come

An increased tax on beer Of 80

THE MATTER OF GOOD ROADS

What about good roads day?
There has been considerable talk OF
one, but so far, nothing has come OF
it. Good roads are essential every
where; and if our citizens will con-
tribute their services for one day for
every year--just as they have been
doing in nearly every other county
in the state, wonderful improve.
ment can be made in our public
highways.
Let it be known on the outside
that we have good roads in Lincoln
county and travel will radiate this
way. New people will come to locate
here; new farms will be taken up
and titled and in few years the
change will be astonishing The
good roads and town cleanup days
which have been the custom in Elkc
and White Pine counties in late
years have worked miracles and
those commonwealths are now re-
garded as the most progressive OF
the counties in Nevada.
We feel certain that the good peo-
pie Of Caliente, Panaca and other
towns in the county will gladly join
in any progressive movement fol
the improvement of our highways.
With everyone taking concerted &C
ton and donating one day to the
cause. at least one main thoroughfare
through the county can be put in a
fairly respectable condition.
In Phoebe, the maj business ST. ee.
is in a deplorable shape several OF
the main roads leading out OF town
are sadly in need of little fixing
Manager w II. Pitts. IF tie i!cG-
es-Cook Mercantile company, inform
the Record that his firm will donate
the use of three teams and one auto
mobile for day to be used in work
on the roads The City Garage will
also donate several machines aid
men for the occasion. Certainly every
business house in town will help the
good cause along. Let us agree on a
date and go to it,
Meanwhile, as the good roads move
ment PROCESSES, do not let the matter
of a cleanup day in town be over
looked. Why not follow up the good
work of last year? Surely no one de
sires to live in dirty town.

MINING DIVIDENDS

Figures compiled by Ming & En-

that the disbursements for the first
quarter of the year were the larg-
est for that period of time.
March dividends totaled $21, 115-
1873. Disbursements for the quarter
were participated in by 1913 compan-
les which paid to stockholders the
huge sum of $36,254,017
This amount exceeds payments
for the same period of 1914, the
previous record year. by almost SIP
000, 900, payments for the first quar-
ter in that year totaling $24,7S5,
556 with "a companies contributing
In the same period of 1915 disburse
ments were $lS,202.Sa2 by 70 com
panies.
