MAY CREATE new
REVENUE DISTRICT

The big business interests 0f Ne
vada, and particularly those who are
concerned with United States revenue
affairs as taxpayers, are urging the
formation of a new revenue district
by the authorities at Washington.
The commercial clubs. the strong
banks. the large commercial houses
and the prominent business personali-
ties of Nevada are behind the move
ment to create a new revenue dis
trict, to be known as the First dis
trict of Nevada, which will comprise
all of Nevada and the border counties
of California lying east of the summit
of the Sierra Nevada mountains, with
central headquarters in Nevada.
The revenue .accruing in the dis
trict outlined approximates $2,n00,000
yearly. This would be a Nev&sa ad-
vantage and would also facilitate col
lections. The reasons advanced for
the new district are that it would
mean a more comprehensive service,
be of advantage to Nevada taxpayers,
and with practically no additional
cost be in accord with better busil
ness methods. so far as systematizing
the revenue work and collecting the
Federal taxes within the sections of
Nevada and California affected.
The Nevada representatives in Con-
gresss, Messrs. Roberts, Newlands and
Pittman, will do a service to Nevada
and its taxpayers by bringing about
the formation of a new district as
desired by the States business inter-
ests.
