ROUTE TO BOYCE
HOME HERE

A. NJ. Boyce Of this city has search
ed the railroads OF this section of the
state for two weeks for his father
in-law, Noah Boaz, who disappeared
at Hazen and of whom no trace can
be found.
Mr.. Boaz, whi is seventy-fve years
of age, was coming from Ogden to
this city to be with his daughter. He
left Ogden on July Is and was seen
at Hazen. A police officer there had
an argument with the old gentleman
when he was waiting for the train,
and instead Of OBTAINING him in his
care, turned him loose although he
realized that he was probably mem
tally infirm at the time.
Since then civil officers, railroad
officials and Mr.. Boyce have kept up
a steady search without success. The
roadbeds have been patrolled in every
direction and notices have been sent
to every station but no trace has
been found

RAILROAD COMPANIES
COMPLAIN NOF AU1O.L|NES

In the recent hearing before the
Public Service Commission on the
application of Albert Pearl for auth
ority to operate an auto-truck freight
service daily between Reno and Vir-
ginia City, Attorney F. Z. Murphy,
appearing on behalf of the Virginia
and Truckee Railway, in opposition
to said application, protested that the
auto-truck and stage lines were tax
ing the business of the railroads away
and reducing its ability to pay taxes
which goes to the maintenance Oh the
public roads over which these compet-
itors operate, and that the State was
not requiring the auto transportation
lines to pay their fair proportion IN
taxes toward the support of the gov
ernment.
In response there to Chairman
Shaugfnessy made the following
statement: II desire to say that |
believe the Tax Commission will prop
erly and adequately tax the auto
transportation lines, both passenger
and freight. | may also state that
these auto lines for the future, the
autos we have been discussing here
which render public service that
their revenues and their operations
shall be as closely checked as those
| OF the railroads and their operations
| will be reported to the Tax Comission
| I'M the same detail as required OF other
corporations. Further, that the same
| method of taxation shall be imposed
4 against the auto stage and freight
| companies that has heretofore been
| upon the railroad companies. In this
1 behalf, it has been figured that at the
| expiration of this years business and
after opportunity has been afforded
!. look to this business more thorough
| ly, we will have Figures and data. to
I, go by. The Tax Commission will
doubtless be able to inventory such
freight and passenger transportation
auto companies and place fair tax
alton value upon them. | cannot say
definitely. but pursuing the rule which
the Tax Commission applies to the
| express companies, it will be able to
/ get from such transportation COM
/! panics a fair and adequate tax on their
1 use value as well as the mere physical
value, This will make good Tor
| lossessin taxes which may ocsurg III
railroad property by the loss Of busi-
mess to the auto lines. and insure the
payment of their just proportion to-
wards the support OF government and
road maintenance 1t is recognized
, that the value df the auto passenger
! and freight trucks alone will not, in
/ all case. measure the lair value of the
| business FOR taxation purposes. Just
/ rs soon as we can get the auto tran
sportation system OF this state lined
up, as we hope to be able to do under
I. this amended law. the automobile
passenger and freight lines will be re-
4 quired to pay their just proportion OF
