WILL YOU VOTE FOR HARDING
OR cox?

The answer is: You will
vote for neitheri For the
American voters, even with all
the fine additions to their num-
bers by Tennessee's net-results,
do not vote directly for presi-
Dental and vice-presidential can
didates. The forefathers had an
idea that the best scheme would
be to pick out a sort of jury,
made up of the best men of the
country, who would get together
and weigh the merits of the diff
ferent candidates, and give the
country the benefit of their pro-
found deliberations. The cleo
tors are placed on the different
tickets, and they always carry
out their pledge to vote for the
candidates whose cause they
represent. So, the names of
Cox and Roosevelt will be at the
top of one ticket, and Harding
and Coolidge at the top of anoth-
er-but their names merely in
dictate that the bunch of I'M
knowns underneath have the par
ty okeh. A cross in the square
at the top of the colum is "the
ideal" 'FVote FER straight, boys
(and girls) vote FER straight
then you can't go wrong"
1t requires 266 electoral votes
to put the candidate across this
year and usually the electoral
votes settle the election. How
ever, in the case Of Thomas
Jefferson, his election over
Aaron Burr was decided in the
House of Representatives. An
drew Jackson was also the
choice of the House. In both
these cases the candidates had q
plurality but not a majority in
the electoral college. Hayes hac
a minority of the popular vote
but majority of the electora
college, and Harrison beat
Cleveland in the same manner
Lincoln and Wilson each receiv.
ed less than a majority of the
popular vote of the country, but
each had a majority in the cleo.

ESTABLISHMENT OF COMPANY

The high cost of living entered in
to the discussion at the meeting of the

day and the value of beef on the range
and on the butchers block had quite
sitting.
1t was shown that in Ely, where a
company shop has been established,
that the price of beef to the consumer
has dropped fifty per cent The same
instance was cited in Virginia City,
where following the strike, COM
munity shop was established and the
people have been able to secure their
meats approximately fifty per cent
lower than before.
While there was no suggestion as
to general adoption of such means

He reports travel difficult in that
district on account of very deep snow.
but also stated that everybody was
optomistic over the mining outlook for
the coming year. The Elko Prince
mine is employing fifty men, the Mis-
sing Link property has eight men at
work and the Queen four. There are.
according to French, 160 people at
Gold Circle at the present time. and
ii is understood that three mills will
be in operation there in a short time.

LIVESTOCK MEN TO
ADVISE COMMISSION

The state tax commission at its
meeting Monday went on record as
favoring the determination of the law
on depreciation of mills, works, ETC.,
through a lawsuit, and directed the
secretary to take the matter up with
the attorney general. A company
that has made a practice of charging
off depreciation amounts when ar
irving at assessment values will be
selected and suit brought and fought
through the courts to a final decision.
A resolution was adopted inviting
the livestock and land interests of
the state to meet with the tax COM
mission at an early date for the pur-
poses of discussing assessment val
uations of lands and livestock of
taxation purposes for the year 1920.
The matter may be taken up when a
meeting of the Nevada Livestock As
sociation is held at the state univer-
sity in the near future. The gather
ing has been called primarily for con-
sideration and discussion of the King
bill which is designed to provide for
federal control of all the open range
on much the same plan as now pre-
walls in the forest reserves, but ii il
considered that the occasion will b.
opportune for getting action in ac-
cordance with the agreement mad
at the time the tax commission took
off the eighteen per cent horizontal
increase on lands. 1t was then agre d
that the various interests of the state
cooperate with the tax commission in
securing fair and equitable valuations
and proper classification.
Railroad and public utilities will be
assessed at one per cent cash val
uation this year in place of ninety per
cent, which was the case last year
Any changes necessary will be made
at the time for equalization, thus saw
ing duplication of work and ap-
pearance before both the tax commits
sion and the board of equalization.

HIGH GRADE ORE STRIKE
DISCOVERED AT BIRCH CREEK

Ore assaying thousands of dollars
ton is reported to have been struck
in the tunnel being driven by the
Birch Creek Mining Company to in
tersect the rich vein discovered by
Jack Cahill some time ago.
The location of the strike is at
Birch Creek. about twelve miles from
Austin. The strike was made at a
point about 500 feet from the portal
of the tunnel and drift is now being
run. The face of the drift is high
grade milling ore with a streak vary
ing from two to twelve inches wide
on the footwall carrying thousands of
dollars to the ton.
The indications point to the open
ing of new and rich mining field,
and prospects are that another stam-
pede to Nevada mining fields will re-
suit from the discovery.
The Birch Greek district has been
worked for some time, and it was ex-
pected that strike would be made at
any time.

TAX REDUCTION Is SOUGHT
ON RANGES BY CATTLEMEN

During the discussion of taxation on
range and pasture lands before the
tax commission, II developed that at
the present time in many sections of
Nevada such range is suffering from
over feeding. says the Reno Gazette.
II was stated that in many instances
no attempt was being made to carry
range stock to maturity, but yearling
selling is the plan being followed.
Between sheep and cattle ranging
on public domain. practically all of
the available feed land of the state
is occupied. and in several instances
are overstocked. 1t was said.
Following such showings. reduc-
tions have been asked in the assessed
valuations of range and pasture lands
This is to be determined at the meet
ing of the state board of equalization
during the April term. The schedule
as established during the assessors
meeting is to remain until the April
session.
