HUMBOLDT PEOPLE
PROTEST TAX RATE

Prepared to attack the legality OF
the action of the state board of eQuali-
zation in establishing a horizontal in
cresase in land valuations for assess
ment purposes, representatives OF
some Of the largest owners of land
in the state left for Carson Monday
to present a protest to the state
boards action, says the Reno Gazette.
The protestants will ask that the
assessment method be followed in
fixing valuations and that the prop
erty be judgmented and property
classified.
The protestants take the position
that the valuation established on
cultivated lands is erroneous and that
it is too low on first and second class
cultivated lands; that it is out of
proportion and far too high on mea-
dow. pasture and grazing lands.
The protesting land owners were
represented before the state tax COM
mission by George B. Thatcher and
Prince A. Hawkins. Their clients
include Abel & Curtner, Ellison
Ranching Company. Union Land and
Livestock Company, Utah Construc-
tion Company, Taylor and Sheehan,
Bliss Brothers. John G. Taylor, w.
C. Pitt Garrett and Comnanv Coor0a
Russell, T. J. Bell, H. F. Dangberg
and many others, including every
rancher in Washoe county, the
Washoe county ranchers having filed
special objections based on grounds
of the protest and on the additional
ground that their water rights now
are being adjudicated in the Federal
court and that no increase in valua-
tions should be applied to their lands
while the suit is going on.

The Roosevelt Memorial Associa-
ton, with branches In thousands of
communities throughout the country,
has now been established as a perma-

that the country shall give its memo

of expression:
First-A memorial that shall enable

ibly their determination to uphold and
maintain the staunch Americanism of
Theodore Roosevelt.
Second-Permanent memorials that

interpret and perpetuate the influence
OF his character and of his stalwarf
American'sm to future generations.
To accomplish the first, the state
and local committees are strongly
urged to arrange for as many meet
ings as possible on Roosevelts birth
day. October 81 These meetings
giving expression as they inevitab'v

CABBAGE SEED PROMISING

Approximately 600 acres Of cabbage
seed are being grown this year in the
neighborhood Of La Conner, Wash,
the fields ranging from to 60 acres,
report specialists of the United States
Department of Agriculture. AS the
season has been favorable for the crop
growers are prophcsying high yields.
BY the third week in June the fields
had passed the pollination stage, and
pods were developing rapidly Har-
vesting will begin the latter part of
July. Cabbage usually is grown in
rotation, following hay. On the cx-
piration Of the two years required for
the cabbage-crop production, oats are
planted, followed by clover and timo-
thy. Rotation of crops minimize the
perpctuation of fungous diseases in
the soil.
