Board Rescinds
Taxation Increase

The order of the state board of equal
ization advancing land values over the
state has been revoked by the state
tax commission, according TO mes
sage received by the county ofhcials
from Carson. The commission voted
to to revoke the order and to ac-
cept the offer of land and cattle inter-
ests to aid in an appraisement of all
land and improvements affected. The
assessuent increase was horizontal
over the state with a 20 per cent in
crease on all farm improvements and
is per cent increase on all farm lands.
1t is understood Governor Boyle ia
vored the present action, which was
brought about following protest filed
by interested parties with headquar-
tiers in Reno.
A communication received by the
board from the Nevada Livestock Asso-
citation offered the assistance of that
organization in bringing about re-
classification of the states taxable
property The offer is to be accepted,
according to statements of board mem
bers.
In pursuance to instructions from
the county commissioners of Lincoln
county, H. E. Prudential and Mrs. j.
L. Bowman have been employed for
the last two weeks making the changes
| IN the tax roll of Lincoln county in
conformity with the orders of the state
board of equalization. This has been
] a heavy task and the work was nm
| ished Wednesday, the day the news
lrescinding the order was received
The state tax commission has extended
by two weeks the period allowed fol
completing the rolls, making the datt
November IA. According to the ta'
commission, the few changes necessar!
in the Lincoln county roll will be re
ceived from Carson City tomorrow
when the accountants will again re

Record Broken
by Silver Price

Again all previous records for the
price OF silver since the years 1859
were broken on the London market
when silver was quoted Tuesday AT
.s5& pence With the pound sterling
normal this price would be equivalent
TO approximately sl-325. As a result
of the low quotation on the pound
sterling. which Tuesday was quoted at
s417h demand. the New York price
quoted was sI.2ih.
With the price OF the white metal
rising to heights previously unknown.
profound complications have been gen
Grated in the monetary schemes of the

The silver bullion value of British
money throughout the British empire

A remodeling of the worlds silver
coinage has become Imperative be
cause the new order in international

States and possibly India must b.
manufactured containing less silvel

Then the nations could coin silve
money "effectively"-that is to say, ma

Congress May Adopt Metric system

Congress May Adopt Metric System
The war seems to have given de-
cided impetus to the general move
ment for adoption in this country Of
the metric system, meaning the use
of the meter and the liter in the place
of the yard and the bushel. The me-
trio system, whereby all measure
ments are by the decimal system of
tens and hundreds, was used eNtens-
lively during the war by the various
experts of the United States govern
ment, chiefly in the service OF sup
ply. So we'll did the several hundred
thousand men in the S. 0. s. like the
metric system that they have come
back home to urge it's adoption in the
place of the present system of meas.
urements. Indications are that the
present congress will give some con
sideration to this change and may
decide ultimately to adopt it..

WASHINGTON, Oct. 23-Increased
pay for officers and men of the army to

asked OF congress yesterday by the war
department. Col. L. l.. Munson of the
general staff, appearing before the house
military affairs committee, stated that the
department believes the base nav of ofic-

that of enlisted men 50 per cent This
would bring the pay of the rrivates to
$40 and make the average pay OF enlisted
men, including non-commissioned officers,
about $50 a month.
Colonel Munson produced tables show

low German Opera-Some In
jured In Fight With Police.

NEW YORK, Oct. 23.-Rioting broke
out again last night around the Lexing-
ton theatre when for the second time
this week the Star Opera company pro-
duced German opera over the protest
of veterans of the world war.
With several hundred policemen post
ed around the theatre, column of sol
diers. sailors, marines and civilians
marched from Times square to the OBJ
era house were hurled back and dis
persed. The mob was stopped at Lex
jnoton avenue and Fifty-second street
but before the column was broken,
bricks and bottles sped through the air
Defeated, the attacking party de-
parted to get reinforcements. A few
minutes later they reappeared, head
ed by motor truck containing nearly
two score men.
The truck dashed through the po-
lice lines and proceeded about block
before it was met by a squad of mount
ed police. The riders charged into the
truck and attacked its occupants. Two
of the latter-a soldier and a sailor
were injured, one so severely that the
ambulance surgeon who attended him
expressed the opinion he might not re-
cover.
The rioting continued for several
hours. crowd breaking into a milk

lice were pressed SO hard that they were

Thousands of spectators gathered at
the theatre but although the manage

persons were seen TO enter. Inside many
detectives were stationed.
