Sensible Talk

In order that the state may not
be put TO any expense in the hold
ing of the special session of the
legislature to ratify the suffrage
amendment Mayor Stewart of Reno
a member of the assembly suggests
that the 81 900 which Governor
Boyle in his correspondence and
conference with the suffrage lead,
ers limits the states expense to, be
paid by state officials, they contrib
uting day salary to the cause. y
Here's hoping and praying that
the state ofie ials do nothing of the
kind. They have enough calls on
their salaries without giving up a
few dollars each ilf order that the
state may be relieved of the pay.
ment of an Insignificant sum.
Nevada is not in such hard cir.
cumstances that it should be re
lieved of the expense that will he
incurred. In fact, instead of pay
ing only 81, 1000 as its portion of
the cost of holding the extra ses-
sion, the state srould pay the
whole bill, approximately 81 900,
without murmur.
If ratification of the suffrage
amendment at this time is worth
anything at all it is worth paying
for and it should not be paid for by
contributions.
Such methods belittle the cause
and belittle the state, which is per
capita is the wealthiest state III the
Union. Carson Appeal

SUTRO MOONSHINER
PLEADS GUILTY

Operating a still for the manufac-
ture of "Jackass' brandy proved a
costly experience for c. Zedoli OF
Sutro and one that will keep him in
Jail for three months when Judge Far
rington gave him Jail sentence and
imposed fines and penalties totalling
5000 on him. He also entered an ord
er for the confiscation OF Zedoli's
personal property.
Zedoli's still was raided about a
month ago by r. b, Heinrich, sup
erintendent of the state police, and
his men. They found about twenty
barrels of brandy mash, large guam
tity OF grain, several quarts of brandy
and complete still in the course of
operation. Zedoli was charged under
the United States law with operating
and illicit still pleaded not gully.
In the federal court this morning
he changed his plea to guilty
Judge harrington sentenced him to
spend three months in the Washoe
county Jail, penalized him$500 and
fined him 500.
Zedolis still was located in an
abandoned house in the old town oi

Trying to Get
Reduced Rates

The Mason Valley Mines company
has two blast furnaces at its smelter
at Thompon, one mile from Wabuska,
which are unsuitable for smelling
concentrates. The company desires
to replace these furnaces with re-
verberatory furnace, in which concen-
trates can be treated. The establi-
shment of such smelter, which it is
proposed will treat custom ores, re-
quires heavy sulphides for the proper
fluxing. and to reduce consumption of
coke. This section OF Neada is not
capable of producing sufficient tom
mage of sulphides and the company
desired rate from Paxton so that it
could secure concentrates from the
Plumas county copper mines. The
existing rate is $40. so per ton for a
haul of 1872 miles compared with a
rate of So 80 to Salt Lake, distance
of over 600 miles. The Mason VAL
ley Mines company asked for a reduc
ton to $4 rs per ton.
Just what effect the refusal OF
lower rate will have on the future
plans of the Mason Valley Mines
company remains to be seen The
only sulphide- product available in
Nevada at present is the output of
the flotation mill of the Bluestone
Mining & Smelling Company in Ma
son Valley. This mill produces about
SO tons of concentrates day, con
tanning rs to 26 per cent copper. If
the Mason Vallay Mines company is
able to secure a rate on sulphide ore
and concentrates from eastern Cal, /,
the company will construct a rever-
batory furnace and treat custom ores
which would be greatly to the ad-
vantage of many mines tributary to
the smelter, enabling them to market
ores that will not stand the freight
charges to the more distant smelters.
The plans of the Mason Valley
Mines company also embrace the con
struction of flotation mill to treat
its own ores at the mine. This in
stallation as we'll as that of the re-
verberatory furnace, depends upon
securing rates from California. 1t is
probable that application will be made
direct to the Western Pacific and to
the Southern Pacific railroads for
change in the rate after the railroads
are returned to private ownership and
management, March 1st
Petition for lower freight rates on
ores and concentrates from Paxton,
to Wabuska. made by the Mason Val
ley mines company, has been denied
by the railroad administration, ac-
ccording to information received by
J. +. Shaugnessy, chairman of the
state railroad commission. The rea-
son given is that a contract exists
with a smelter in Utah to haul con-
centrates from Paxton until Novem-
Der l, 1920.

RISE IN MILK PRICES

milk delivered by retail dealers in
Reno may be the result of a meeting
of dairymen at the university in con-
nection with Farmers and Homemade
ers' week, which will open tomorrow,
says V. f. Scott, instructor in dairy
ing. The factors involved in the
possible advance in price are the in
creased cost of feed and labor and in
efficient cows The retail price of milk
was raised on November from 81 a

Sta ie Finces In
Good Condition

TIE advance sheets of the 1910 re
port OF State Controller George 4
+ Cole show that the finincial affairs of
the ate OF Nevada have more than
doul ed in the past five years, the re-
eeipt5 OF 1919 being $2.1741SS,2l, as
agaif st SsSl.53S02 in 1924: and dis
bursc ments. $2,l62 50o6l, as compar
ed with Sl,l43,513.79 of five years ago
Moreover, the cash balance has in
creased from $227, $500 to $735.S4l-
+ %.
An increase OF assessed valuation
from $lSo,o05, ,O4SS6 to $l9S044, 4,005.25
during the five year period accounts
for much of the difference; but new
state governmental activities, notably
the new state highway system account
for a great share Of the constantly en-
larging volume OF money handled by
the state officials The proceeds OF
mines returns, on which taxes were
collected fell of $3,2S6,694 from
1918. This was due somewhat prob
ably TO unsatisfactory labor condi-
tons, but principally to an erratic
copper market This loss of valua-
tions was more than made up by an
increase Of real estate and personal
property valuations OF $3,337 10000
so that the total tax roll is slightly
larger than year ago.
The collections from counties were
as follows: Elko County. $402, 2,007 %;
Washoe county, $20S,54S. 81; White
Pine, $loo. .28605; Humboldt county,
500, 1859; Nye county, $oS06o07.
Lyon county, $63,S33oS; Churchill
county, $50,750 %; Pershing county,
$45 ,55S.ll; Lincoln county. Al l,6S2.ol
Esmeralda county, $50, ,363. 80; Lander
county, $50 osl.20; Mineral county,
S2o, sol r. Douglas county, 2,62o6l;
Clark county, $20,70577; Eureka coun
ty $lS,465.22; Storey county. $l4OS7-
05; Ormsby county $l0,60S42 making
total Of .$l338422.42
There was a total property tax OF
$1,228,7lZ91 collected Proceeds OF
mines tax was $47,l7375. Inheritance
tax was $5,35130. Other items were,
auto license, $1,ll05O; interest on
bonds, $130705.43; interest on bank
loans, $l1,77652; escheated estates.
2,l6o.30; insurance licenses, $l6,882-
50; and trifling holdover of $44o50
from 1918 state liquor licenses. Many
more items bring up the total receipts
to $2,174,1S8.21
The disbursements nearly equaled
the receipts, but as some share of
these went into permanent improve
ments, such as state builings and
roads and bond investments, the
states surplus was increased to the
amount of $4l8,71357. This surplus
has been increased since 1915 to the
extent of 81 ,344, 4,S5S92, and now is
S5,39S, S,2595S over and above all
state indebtedness.
The disbursements Of $2,162, ,50o6l
were the largest in the states history.
and l0,504 controllers warrants;
amounting to $l,l43,5l3.00, were issued
and the business is now handled by
the same sized office force.
