RANGE CONTROL DISCUSSED
AT LIVE STOCK CONVENTION

The control of the open range~in
Nevada was discussed at length by
the stockmen of the state at the meet
ing of the Nevada Livestock Associa-
ton at the university yesterday morn
ing and afternoon, and the advisa-
bility of asking the federal govern
ment to take control of the ranges in
Nevada and the other twelve public
land states of the West was gone into
from all angles, says the Reno Ga
Zette.
The stockmen of the state are not
fully in favor of the King bill, now in
congress, which would place the con-
troll of the public lands in the hands
of the forest service, but it was the
general opinion that some step must
be taken in order 10 protect the
ranges from rowing bands of cattle
and sheep belonging to no~n-residents
of the state and also give the ranges
a chance to be re-seeded and built up

INCOME TAX NEXT
ON LIST OF WORRY

The federal income tax season
formally opened today, with the dis
tribution of the forms for personal
returns. In summing up conditions
under which returns must be made.
the collector of internal revenue has
issued the following statement:
From now until the bell rings on
the night of March Is, the annual re-
turns covering incomes for 1919 will
be figured out and filed by citizens
and residents, together with payments
of tax due. Every person must de-
termine for himself whether his net
Income for 1919, figured according to
the revenue law, was sufficient in
amount to require a return. If he is
single, a return is required if his net
income for 1919 was over $1,000. A
widow or widower is classed as a
single person. A man living apart
from his wife or wife from husband
is also classed as a single person.
IF he was married and living with
his wife on December 81, a return is
required if his net income for 1919
was $1,000, or more. In his net income
he must include that of his wife and
minor children, if any. If a tax is due
on his income, he must make payment
with his return and both must be
made before midnight on March IS.
This payment may be made in whole
or in part of the tax due. At least
one quarter of the tax must ccom
pany the return. Severe penalties are
fixed for neglect to file returns.
1.-TWO forms are being distributed
for personal returns. Form 1040A is
intended for use by a person whose
net income does not exceed $4,000. A
larger form, 1910, is intended for each
person having a net income in excess
of $4,000. Both forms are now obtain
able at internal revenue offices and
at some banks and post offices. When
the return is completed. it should be
Immediately filed. Any internal rev.
enue officer will administer the
necessary oath without charge"

appointed by Governor Boyle as a
member of the state highway commits
sion in the place of George X. Elder,

This is the only appointment the
governor has made to fill the two va

is not expected that he will make the
third until some time after his re-
turn from his southern trip. Two

majority and the commission can now

URGING TAX
CLUB ORGANIZATION

There is no organization in the
siders in any way the a~dvisability of
public expenditures declared Gov
ernor Boyle in an address on taxation
in Nevada. given before the Nevada
Livestock Association, now in session
at Reno, and for that reason he
strnogly advocated the forming of a
taxpayers league in Nevada, the duty
of which would not only be to secure
justice in taxation, but also TO check
the state expenditures and to recon-
mend expenditures to the Legislature.
I'm the candle light of the day after
the last night of each Legislative ses-
sion when every one is tired and
ready to go home, the general appro-
priations bill. carrying state expendi-
lures for two years, is generally
brought in, and items in the APP
preparation bill and the rather
lengthy document to ask that certain
appropriations be cut down.
Members of the legislature are Sc
lected from different lines of activity
and the legislature is sometimes over
balanced with more representatives
of one class in business than another.
and in making appropriations this
factor enters in. A taxpayers asso-
citation, which could confer and rec
ommend appropriations would save
thousands of dollars to the state. 1t
is being done in other states and it
is certainly needed here"
The governor directed an attack on
the state tax laws, saying they were
obsolete, unjust and in order to get
both the tax commission and every
taxpayer in the state was forced to
break the law. Declaring in favor of
the classified tax the governor said:
THE old uniform tax rule should
be abandoned and the constitution
amended and the classified tax system
put into force. Through this system
taxation would not be a burden on
anyone. People would be taxed ac-
cording to what they were able to
pay as shown by the income on prop
erty or business.
1.-THE tax commission is not out to
get any one now. 1t is trying to en-
force and carry out a law that is
neither just 0 equitable. We want
to cooperate with the cattle and land
owners of the state and with all the
property owners and taxpayers.
Under the agreement made with
the land owners last fall, when the
horizontal raise on land values was
rescinded, the Nevada Livestock As
ISOLATION and tee Humboldt County
Taxpayers Association agreed to CO.
operate with the tax commission in
making a survey of the state. When
you appoint your committee l hope
who can be brought together quickly
and that we can put out field men to
make a survey.
This action should set up the ma
chinery for a taxpayers association
which in a few years would not only
be able to assist the tax commission
in leVying equitable taxes, but would
check expenditures. The state wants
to cooperate with you. ! believe that
farming and ranching is the para
mount industry of the state despite
the constitutional statement favoring
mining, and | feel that we can get
