GOOD COX'S MEASUREMENTS

George White, chairman of the
Democratic national committee. said
on the stand yesterday at speech
delivered in Chicago before the senate
committee investigating campaign ex-
penditures that he had no evidence to
sustain any one of the charges made
by Gov. Cox, his party's presiden-
tial nominee. as to Republican cam
paign funds and quotas" or the al
legged desire of contributors ito have
back of them in industrial centers

as it true" Senator Spencer asked
"that you have stated you will not
place any limit on campaign contribu
tions?"
II did say that. There is no limit
on the size, within the discretion of
the treasurer and myself after con-
sidering both the size and the source"

IDLE SPEECH CAUSES
GIRLS REGENERATION

Chance remarks are often the cause
of momentous happenings. A re-
mark made by guide who was TAX
ing party through the slums of New
York, in one OF the most notorious
resorts in the underworld, changed
the entire career of the daughter o.
the owner The guide declared to
his party that ii was no wonder that
children raised in such surroundings
became crooks and criminals.
The father believed him, and the
way he took to get his daughter away

his action makes the fascinating

He spent more than one night on the
roads.
Il consider il most important that

looked over by three judges at the
American theatre last night and the
prize for the best-dressed kewpie was
awarded to Mrs. Dave Rose, whose

judges were Mrs. George Becker. Mrs.
Vic Button and Miss Mae Morrison,
and it was indeed a difficult task to
decide upon the winner. 1t was
planned to issue a roll of honorable
mention. but the dolls were all so
well finished it was decided that fea-
ture would be impossible. The kew
pies now are on display in the win

are causing great comment. The fire.

RESOLUTION PASSED
BY LIVESTOCK MEN
DECLARE AGAINST REDUCTION
OF STOCK on RANGE; THINK
GRAZING SEASON SHOULD BE.
GIN LATER IN THE YEAR

Herewith is presented the resolu-
tions passed by the members of the
Nevada Livestock Association at a
meeting at the Hotel Mayer in Elko
on Monday and published in the Elko
Free Press
Whereas, those engaged in the
livestock industry in the state of Ne
vada generally have been and are
facing economic conditions which are
most precarious to the successful and
permanent continuance of their busi-
ness. Market prices are ridiculously
low, while all factors entering into
costs of production remain high and
are constantly going higher.
Our industry represents one of the
greatest sources of revenue to our
state and upon 1t depends absolutely
the economic future of our ranching
dependent upon us for their business.
We all have heavy investments in
property absolutely dependent upon
livestock. and in order to be able
to secure any reasonable return upon
those investments must absolutely
continue to run our present number
of stock. Furthermore, disposition
of stock, which would be necessary
IL q range reduction were made at
this time. would prove most injurious
because of the prevailing extremely
low market prices which would only
go lower under the dumping of stock
upon an already overcrowded market.
We think the continuance of our
industry. which means absolutely the
life of our communities and state.
paramount TO other interests con-
cerned in this matter, though, of
course. we are mindful of the need
of protecting our watersheds. We
know that any harsh treatment at
this time will mean the failure of
many range outfits which are strug-
ing unfavorable conditions. No more
than straw will blow them either
one way or the other at this time.
We also feel that we must have
some permanency in our range live
stock business and want to do our
part to help put our range condi-
tions upon a permanent basis How
ever we have learned that harshiI
and loss follow radical action along
these lines and sincerely trust that
the adjustments which appear neces-
sary to bring about satisfactory
range conditions upon our forest
range will be brought about grad
ually. feeling our way as We go
rather than through any radical and
ill-advised arbitrary action, from the
results of which we could probably
never recover.
In the range adjustment proposed
we are absolutely opposed to any re-
duction in numbers of stock at the
present time and under present con-
ditions. Instead, we feel that condi-
tons should be improved by grad
ual shortening of the opening of the
gra2.Eg season. We know only toe

TAX ASSESSMENTS
VARY IN COUNTIES
ALL ASSESSORS DIDN'T WORN ON
100 PER CENT BASIS; vALUA.
TIOyS on PERSHING COUNTY
PROPERTY ARE BOOSTED HIGH

The board of equalization was
called to order Tuesday morning long
enough to decide upon a session to be
convened at 1880 o'clock yesterday
afternoon, at which time all commit
tees were expected to make their re-
ports, says the Carson News. Messrs.
McGill and Reinhart, chairmen, re-
spectively, of the livestock and bank
ing committees. were expected to re-
turn to Carson yesterday in time for
submission to the board of the re-
ports.
The land committee will report
through Chairman Shober J. Rogers.
recommendation will be made for
adjustments of individual assess
ments in accordance with complaints
filed and investigated The great
problem. however. has been to ar
rive at equalization as between coun-
ties. 1t has been ascertained that
valuations must be lowered In some
instances and increased in others in
order to put all counties on an ap-
parent basis of equality. 1t was un-
derstood that all counties should
make returns this year on one hun
dred per cent valuations. Examina-
ton of the segregations show that in
certain counties increases have an
proximated as high as forty-five per
cent, while in others no increases in
valuations have been carried out on
the rolls. In several counties large
decreases in the acreages of high
classes of cultivated lands are noted
upon comparison with the 1919
figures. Pershing county is a note
worthy exception. This year the as
SCISSOR has listed 1880 acres of first
class cultivated land against 112
acres of land of the same class last
year. Lyon county totals jumped
from 2974 acres in 1919 to 3506 for
1920 in the same class. Churchill
and Clark counties show decreases of
about fifty per cent in first class cul-
tivated lands. Many large acreage
decreases are noted in second class
lands in at least FIVE counties.
1t is understood that the land COM
| mittee has worked out a plan for
equalization between the counties
Much of the work of the mining
committee has consisted in passing
upon proofs of labor performed on
patented claims. and exemption from
taxation of these claims will un-
doubtedly be recommended in all
cases wherein the proofs and affi-
davits offered were found satisfactory
One of the Austin companies has
requested a reduction in valuation
from s17,500 to $4,000. The Rochester
Combine Mines, of Packard, has asked
that assessed valuation of the COM
panys property be reduced from $75,-
900 to $4,000.
The banking committee has sent
out calls to the officers of six state
banks to give the fair market valua-
tion of their stock, which item had
not been supplied. Determination of
recommendations on banking prop
erty assessments has been delayed
pending receipt of the information
desired.
To date the committee on business
and town property has received no
requests for reduction of assessments.
Comparisons have been made between
counties and recommendations de-
cided upon as a result of investiga-
tions will be made when the commit
tee reports.

Frederick Il. Sanborn, member Of the
State Board Of Health. today faced the
alternative of contesting Mrs. James G.

ninistration backed rent laws or giving
up the comfortable home in which he
had planned to spend the winter.
DIR. and Mrs. Sanborn, who had
leased their home "for the summer" to
Mrs. Barker, returned yesterday to be
informed by Mrs. Barker that the rent
laws prohibited her ejection-lease or
no lease-without tedious court proceed
ings. and that she intended to stand by
her rights" and protect her roomers.
Doctor Sanborn and his wife 'in-
trenced" in an attic room. Friends
threw sandwiches to them through the
window.
