Charles E. Mccarthy was elected
to the Office of County Assessor two
years ago, and by strict application
and the hardest and most conscien-
tious kind of work, has placed the
affairs OF the Assessors Office in the
best possible condition.
During this two years the amount
o. work in this Office has increased
enormously over that of previous
years. The law of 1915 gave to the
Nevada Tax Commission general su-
pervision of the entire revenue sys-
tenn of the state Under the orders
of the commission o vast amount OF
work involving classifications, valua-
tions and statistics was thrust upon
Assessor Mccarthy and he has met
the emergency fully prepared by ed
ucation and experience to carry out
the work in excellent shape.
Aside from the volume of routine
work, Mr.. Mccarthy has put in much
time and effort in bringing the prop
er amount of bullion taxes to the
treasury, and it is worth remember
ing that in 1915 Mr.. Mccarthy In
creased the bullion lax collections by
$4,000 and in 1916, up to the pres
ent date, by $4,000 over the high.
est record of any previous year. This
means that less money need be raised
by direct taxation. He has also in
stalled an excellent system of hand
ling the business of the Office and nu-
merous labor saving devices.
An important feature OF Mr.. NC
Carthy's official record is the able
manner in which he represented
Clark county's interests before the
State Board of Equalization and pre-
vented raises in valuations which
would nave materially increased ouI
proportion of the state taxes.
Mr.. Mccarthy has been a resident
of this county for ten years and be-
came familiar with property in every
section while following his profes-
sion of civil engineer and surveyor
His experience and technical knowl-
edge are invaluable to the county
Not the least important point is that
during all his residence here Mr.. NC
Carthy has been property owner
and taxpayer.

Roberts For Treasurer

w. 1. Roberts, Republican nomi-
nee for County Treasurer, has dem
onstrated his fitness for that position
by his business record since coming
to Las Vegas. During the past four
years he has, by his spirit of accom-
modation and untiring efforts, built
from a small beginning one Of the
most substantial business houses III
Las Vegas and established a flour
ishing branch in Goodsprings.
He possesses IN a high degree the
qualities which would make a good
and efficient county official and is
receiving unsolicited assurances OF
support wherever he goes. The nomi-
nation came to him without any ef-
fort on his part and Republicans gen
orally hail him as a winner.

EDUCATION IN THE SOUTH.

That the long battle for education in the south more

IS being slowly but surely by the advocates of
thorough and compulsory education evident from the
annual reports of Rockefeers general education board

according to northern standards for many years. but she

opened high school buildings costing $495 900; Mis-
sssipp $410000 Alabama 1903, 750 Arkansas 1855 OO0
and Tennessee $54500 The twoyear school, providing
few months of higher schooling for those who have com
