NEVADA AFTER THE PACKERS

In discussion over a resolution in
the Nevada Legislature this week,
that looked to an investigation of the
present high cost of living, it was
Assemblyman Mccall of Churchill
who hit the packers on the head. He
stated that when Swift & Co. began
Explaining to the people through ad-
|vertising that it was time to start an
investigation. Any time that this
outfit could buy pork for II cents
and sell bacon at 60 cents he didn't
think the concern need tell the pub
|lic there was no money in the trans
action. All living commodities had
gone sky high and an investigation he
believed would do no harm.
Assemblyman Gregory stated that
he would like to know why the Ne
lVada Packing Company could get
more money for their meats in this
State than the same meats bring on
the coast, and freight has to be
added.

From single estate, that of the
] ate Mrs. Mary Lily Bingham, the
State of Kentucky will collect an in
Dheritance tax of over 50. 100000.
This is enough to pay the entire State
debt and leave a balance Of more
than $1.OOO.OOO in the State treasury.
Mrs. Bingham, before her second
marriage, was the widow of the
Standard Oil millionaire, Henry M,
Flagler, who did much to build up
the railroad and hotel systems of
Florida. He left most Of his prop
|erty to her. Her estate has been
valued for taxation at $1O0, 900, 900
lacking a few thousands. Unlike
most large estates, this one proved
to be larger than public report had
made it.
