HyltOn & Hanna Sell
Their Merchandise Business

A deal was closed Monday. n of
the largest of its kind in the county
for years, when the firm of Hylton
& Hanna sold their. general store
business at Hylton to County Com
missioner j. G.. Gregory and Albert
Hawkins. The consideration was not
made public, but as this business is
the largest of i5 kind south of Elko
for many hundreds of miles. it was
considerable. Mr.. Hylton says that
it takes from $50, 900 to 500, 900 per
year to run the business, as a general
credit business is done.
We understand that the business
will be conducted by Mr.. Gregory's
sons, who will take possession on the
10th of this month.
Both Mr.. Hylton and Mr.. Hanna
have large ranching business and do
not want to devote their time to the
store. although they have been in
business there for more than Is

Pity the Poor Rich Man

Every person having a yearly in
come of 81. 900. 900 or more may have
to pay AZ per cent of it to the Govern
ment. Such an increase of the
income tax is being considered
by the Ways and Means Com
mittee. There are said to be 124
persons in the United States whose
incomes come under this class; and
451 who have more than $500, 900 a
year.
The two largest incomes in the
country are understood to be John
D. R~ockefeller's and Henry Ford's.
The latter's is estimated at $35, 0OO,-
600. and the proposed supertax
would take SIG. 45O. 600 of it for the
Government. This is in addition to
the income tax fixed in the present
law, which is to remain in force.
