ever, this letter will reach Nevada
about the time the message is pre-
sented fprobably next Tuesday,, when

open to non-members during the re-
cess, and when visiting this eating

favor of the general sales tax in lieu
of excess profits and luxuries taxes
The income tax, it is generally ad-
mitted, is not so fair thing as when

times. An income of $4,000 now. 1t is
said. is only equivalent to an income
of $1,000 four years ago; and the in
tent of the law would be more nearly
served were the figures where taxa
ton is to commence changed to $4,000
for single persons and $4,000 for heads
of families.

with that country may be finally don'
away with. OF course the Presidents
message is to tell us exactly what hi'
ideas are on that subject.
