which to properly operate. but in
spite OF this the commission has real

Their crippled its powers should be en-

The statement made In the Win
nemucca meeting that the stockmen
Of Nevada are subjected to ~appraise-
ments higher than other classes of
property owners will hardly bear an
alysis. In proportion to actual cash
value city residence property in West
ern Nevada, at least. is appraised at
higher valuations than either land or
live stock. and according to the best
authorities the argument of the stock
men could be advanced with much
better grace by the banks and public
service corporations. both of which
classes are made to pay taxes upon
almost full cash value.
1t must be admitted that there are
serious inequalities in the property
appraisements made In the State Of
Nevada. but In almost every instance
these can be traced to careless or in
efficient appraisements made by coun-
ty assessors. not by the State Tax
Commission. And yet, those who
would abolish the State Tax Commits
sion would effect a return to the old
system Of county appraisements. with
practically no State supervision. a
system that was discarded as clumsy
and unjust by every advanced State
in the Union years ago
Nevada people informed upon the
taxation question know how the old
system OF appraisement by the county
assessors operated before the creation
of the State Tax Commission. In GER
tain counties In the State, where there
was large railroad mileage and where
the railroad companies paid a prin-
cipal part OF the taxes. private hold
ings were assessed at merely nominal
figures, while other Nevada counties
lot favored with large railroad hold
ings were compelled to make higher
appraisements of private holdings in
order to raise SUFFICIENT funds to meet
their local expenses. So far as the
local rate was concerned 1t worked no
inequality. but in the application of
the State rate 1t subjected the less IA
vored counties to disproportionately
high State taxation, which they were
actually less able to bear than the
wealthy counties with extensive rail-
road mileage. Experience has also
shown the frequent frailty OF local as
SCISSORS in making valuations. due to
inexperience, inability DIT favoritism
the known existence of which has
been largely responsible for the crea-
ton of State Tax Commissions. with
extended supervisory powers over
county appraisements.
Instead of harassing the State Tax
Commission 1t should be supported.
1t is organized upon a just conception
of taxation and IL given adequate leg
islative and financial support that will
enable 1t to make a careful survey of
all the property In the State. many of
the wrongs now prevailing will be
corrected.

The Nevada State Tax Commission
and some other commissions will be
abolished at the coming session of the
Legislature, II the program Of the Ne
vada Livestock Association goes
through. This was made plain at the
annual meeting OF the association
held here to-day.
The association will present q mass
Of figures to the Legislature, showing
how taxes have increased out Of pro-
portion to production and in face of
the fact that the States population
has decreased to $1,000. Figures
are to be presented tending to show
that ranchers and stock raisers can
not continue In business at the pres
emit rate OF taxation and presentprices
OF their produce.
An effort will be made to have the
taxes on land and live stock reduced
and have other classes of property
pay a little more proportionately. The
figures are being prepared by w. c.
Noteware. tax and land value expert.
J. Sheehan, State Senaor-elect and
cashier Of the First National Bank.
said at the meeting that he believed
q cut Of SO per cent In State expenses
could be made without impairing the
efficiency. Referring to the plan to
build a new prison. Sheehan said:
with a population Of over 1900.
they must think we are all criminals
II we build a new prison."
The association now has 1000
members and predicts 1t will have 1O.-
900 by the time the Legislature
meets. and does not believe the Leg
islatuTe will disregard the wishes OF
10000 taxpayers.

GET HORSES

A group of Keokuk men who are
interested in the revival OF racing
here, had a meeting last night and
discussed the subject from different
angles. 1t is believed that 1t will be
possible to use the old half-mile track
or the old fair grounds site, and by
building grand stand and stables 10
revive race meets in keokuk
That there is much interest IN
horse racing is shown by the crowds
that go to the races at the county
fairs being held around in this vicin-
lily. Some local men are entering
horses in races out of the city, and
there is every prospect of conduct
| ing very successful race meetings on
the Keokuk track if the project can
be revived, as it seems favorable
now.
In the first place the half mile
track west of the cemetery is in
shape to be put into first class con-
Idition with little work. The track
can be made in fine shape with a
little stirring of the soil and rolling
of the top dressing. All that would
i then be needed would be to erect an
samphitheater and stables for the &C
commodation of the horses during
the meet and training season.

Good Place to Train.

Another thing that would make
Keokuk a popular place for race
horse meets is the fact that it is
located very conveniently to the best
Jogging" roads in the country in the
winter. The up hill and down hill
road along the river is one Of these,
and trainers are always looking for
roads where they can put their PETS
through their PAGES during the sr7wy
cold months. There are inn1mnrabIe
roads around Keokuk that would be
suitable for jogging roads, it is
claimed.
Altogether the prospects for rhc
formation Of stock company 70 pro-
mote, race meets in Keokuk are
promising. 1t is believed more than
probable that some definite action
can be taken soon. and that next
year will see the revival of the spcr.
in Keokuk.

Direct Line of Shipment.

Keolcuk is on direct line of ship
ment of horses from east to west for
the race meets in this section and
it would be possible to race, some
OF the best horses in the country
here in June when the horses are
being shipped. A man who has had
connection with race meets and race
horses says that owners would much
rather race their horses into condi.
ton than work them out alone, and
that it would not be difficult TO at
tract some of the best talent in the
country here early each season.
The purse money could be paid
out of the entry fees, it is said. The
purses need not be large, but they
could be made amply sufficient to
attract the best horses.
