time will not be eligible to vote on

elected to both state and county con-

of 336 votes registered in Ely only
68 women have shown sufficient in

1t is to be hoped that interest will
increase this week. and particularly
on the part of the women voters.
Those opposed to the suffrage amend
ent during the last campaign in this
state used with considerable force the
argument that in the different states
throughout the country 1t had been
proven that when women we're grant
ed the franchise they would not ex-
ercise it, and that they thereby placed
the balance of power in dangerous
quarters. 1t is an undisputed fact
that If the better class of women will
not exercise their right, it will be an
easy matter for corrupt politicians or
those otherwise interested to gather
together at the polls the element
which is always ready and willing to
vote as they are told for a considera-
ton
1t is not believed that the women
of Nevada will allow the balance OF
power to remain in such hands. due
entirely to their own negligence or
lack of interest in one of the most
important matters. The women have
been given the ballot and thereby
have had imposed upon them a great
responsibility. II is now within their

LARGE SUN FROM
BULLION TAX
NEVADA CONSOLIDATED WILL
PAY NEARLY FIFTY THOUSAND
DOLLARS TO APPLY ON COUN-
TY AND STATE WELFARE.


company through its business man.
ager. C. v. Jenkins, has fled with the
county assessor its report for the
second quarter of the present year
and this report breaks all previous
records. While the figures have not
yet been verified by the recorder and
auditor. this is merely a matter of
clerical work. and in round figures 1t
is safe to say ou. of the 49,608.00
which the Nevada Consolidated will
pay as bullion tax for the quarter, the
county will receive approximately
$4,000, while the balance will go
for state purposes and the teachers
pension fund, as required by law.
The figures as shown In the report
filed are as follows:
Tonnage of ore mined II 1,114,824
Value per ton $5.861--$6,534,318.17
Deductions
Actual cost of manage
ment -------$ S,3SZ.S4
Actual expenditure of
mining ---------- s37,408.1o
Actual expenditure of
transportation - 2s4,4ss.5s
Actual expenditure of
reduction --------- 1.3ss.O3s.s1
Total deductions from
gross yield --------- 2,599,276.s8
Total net proceeds 3,975, ,041.29
80 per cent of net pro-
ceeds on which tax
is paid ----------- 3,1S1 .033.0S
Bullion tax for quarters 49,6O8.00
The amount of bullion tax receiv-
ed for the first six months OF this
year is far in excess of the amount
anticipated or expected. This IL
naturally due in a great measure to
the exceptionally high price Of cop
per, and in view of this increased
revenue it seems safe to predict that
the Nevada Tax commission will or
der a substantial reduction in the
county rate of taxation. Such a re-
duction in the tax rate will naturally
entitle the Nevada Consolidated and
other mining companies to, refund
on the amount paid in on the net
proceeds of their mines, as such pay
ment is now made on the rate as
fixed by the board of county commis-
soners as required by law, at the
meeting held in March. The county
rate as then fixed was $1.10 on the
500 valuation. This was a reduc-
ton of 3s cents from the figures of
the previous year. and it now seems
that a further reduction will be made
by which the taxpayers will be great
ly benefited. /
White Pine county is now in bet
ter financial condition than any other
county'in the state, with total bond
ed Indebtedness of only $123,O00 in
Guiding the $4,000 bond issue for
the handsome county high school.
1t is the intention of the county
commissioners to liquidate the bond
ed Indebtedness as early as possible,
and If the present high price OF cop
per holds. this can be done in COM
paratively short space Of time.

DEPRIVE JITNEY
MAN OF LICENSE
Mayor SuSpendS Right of
Louis SiIverman to 0p-
crate Cars For Hire.

Mayor fred W. Keller MoEday
morning suspended the jitney bus
license of Louis silverman for 90
days after the hearing held in the
mayors office. The license was sus-
pended upon the grounds that Silv-
erman willfully violated the jitney
bus ordinance which provides that
persons under Is years Of age shall
not operate a vehicle for hire. IT
was asserted by City Attorney Eli
T.. Seebirt and police officers that
Silverman has been permitting his
Il year old son, George Silverman.
TO operate the jitney bus after hav-
ing been warned against the prac-
tice a month ago.
1t was contended by the defense
that previous 20 the warning on
April 10. young Silverman had been
operating the jitney but that since
that time he has only used the car
for pleasure purposes. IL was
brought out in the testimony for
the defense that young SilveTman
carried a passenger 70 the Orphans
home on April %, but that ne did
not accept money from him.
City Atty. Seebirt branded this as
"a thin story He contended that
young SiiverInan did not drive the
car for pleasure purposes, although
the defense held that at the times
specified in the evidence of the
city, the lad was either taking the
car home after the days Jitney
work was done or was using il for
his own purposes as his father
car. The city attorney held that
the jitney did not cease to become a
vehicle for hire until II vas in the
garage while the defense contended
TO the contrary The mayor upheld
the police department and the city
attorney, declaring the evidence to
be sufficient to warrant the 60-day
suspension.
Another petition for the revoca-
ton of the license of David u.
elem. saloonkeeper at AL Z. La
sale av., has been filed with the
mayor. II is asserted in the peti-
ton that elem is not the owner of
the saloon. but that A. II. Beise is
the proper owner. elem took out
