GREECE IN HARMONY

ton OF the United States to JON IL
in its attitude toward Germany mas
been handed to the American minister
at Athens. The correspondent OF the
Exchange telegraph company at the
Greek capital telegraphs that the re-
DIV afirms the sympathy of Greece
with every effort to accelerate peace
and her approval of every effort to
maintain freedom of navigation tor the
worlds. shipping, adding that Greece
has already drawn Germany's atten-
ton to the grave consequences OF
the proposed submarine blockade

it is easy to conceive that much OF
this amount could be exempted from
its share of the burden of the govern
ment. The deficiency, OF course
caused by such evasion would fall
upon other property of the State, and
especially would affect the farmer and
agricultural and grazing lands.
1t was we'll known fact that under
the old practice, before the commis-
sion was created, Lyon county was
paying more than its pro rata of State
taxes. This has been remedied, ant
the amount paid last year by Lyon
County, as State taxes, was something
near $4,000 less than previously when
the assessed valuation of property in
the county was approximately $1,000
10000 less. These figures are not
exact, for the reason that the data
though easily obtained, is not immc-
dately at hand.
The discuss sion of the Commission
its uses and imaginary abuses, was
severely criticised by many, to whose
interest it was a benefit. AS the OPP
eonents to the commission were un-
doubtedly sincere. discussion led to
investigation, and many who during
the campaign were strongly opposed
TO it apparently have changed their
opinions and now support it. 1t looks
verv much as if the life of the body
would be extended.

grammar school pupils February 18th
and explained the purpose of these
clubs. and good results obtained III
other parts of the state. A number
of the pupils of this school signed up
as members of the Club, and the fol-
lowing officers were elected: Presi-
dent, Art;e Reymers; Secretary, Mary
Murphy; Treasurer Rhea Hilton. The
Club voted to adopt the motto Elk

determined to capture most of the dis
trict prizes. Last year Douglas count
club members won $4,000 in prizes

County boys and girls are gong to

started out. the clubs in other parts
of the district will have to hustle to

JEW RANCH SOLD

The property Of the Smith Valley
Land Company, located at Wellington
and comprising 1000 acres OF as good
land as there is in Smith Valley, was
sold at public auction by the sheriff
of Lyon County Thursday afternoon
under decree OF foreclosure of the
trust deed or mortgage securing the
bonds of the company on which they
allowed the interest to default about
a year ago. The amount of the prin-
cipal of the bonds, interest and costs
of foreclosure was SIS, 687.95. Since
taking over what was formerly known
as the Jew ranch the Smith Valley
company has had trouble after trout
Bile. Sometimes among themselves,
and frequently resulting in suit
brought by creditors-l Large sums
have been spent in litigation, where
the only purpose accomplished was
delay in enforcing claims against the
company. Many of the suits were
for laborers' wages, and while the
company always paid before sales oc-
Cured under executions, the process
was very expensive. When the bonds

| company seemed unable to secure
funds to meet the obligation, and the
sale resulted.

REPORT OF THE
TAX COMMISSION

The l9l5-l9l6 report OF the Nevada
Tax Commission has been issued from
the state printing Office and is one OF
the most valuable, interesting, and
complctt compilations of statistical
Cata ever presented to the public
I he following is brief mention o
some Of tie mos, important showings
OF this report:
The assessed valuation OF the state
has been increased from $l0l 100000
in 1912 to $l75,000,000 in 1916. The
state tax rate has been decreased from
SO cents in 1914 to 40 cents in 1916.
Property in excess of $l0,0000O
value has been added to the roll that
was entirely escaping taxation prior
the creation OF the commission, this
being exclusive of any raise made on
property for the purpose of pure
equalization. Only an insignificant
number of complaints and no litiga
ton other than a few tax suits BY
large nonresident corporations,
which have habitually resisted the eff
forts OF the revenue department tC
assess them, resulted during 1915 and
1916. Actions OF 1914 resulted in con.
siderable complaints, and several hun.
1red law suits due to the sharp class
increase the commission was impellet
to make, looking to a general equal.
