BIGGER TAX RATE
FOR THIS COUNTY
Fifteen Cent Increase Necessary to
Meet Pressing Obligations Due
From Owners of Prop
erty Here

Humboldt county property own
ers will be called upon to pay more
taxes on account Of the 1922 assess
ments for the purpose than at any
time in recent years. It had been
thought that the peak had been
attained in this regard as aftermath
Of fixing the 1921 valuations, but
certain fixed charges, arising from
past official activities and the fact
that the property roll now in course
of preparation will probably show
decrease over the aggregate of last
year, combined to force the county
commissioners, meeting yesterday,
to adopt budget calling for an
increased rate of taxation.
The budget as it stands provides
for the raising Of total of $685.
438, as compared to $246,841.28.
last year. Of the total, $190,740
is to be raised on account of county
needs, as compared to $175,575.11
last year. The assessed valu-
alton last year was $18,316,818,
and estimates have been based this
year upon $17,00O,000 valuation,
it being deemed certain that a
substantial decrease will be record
ed in the matter of assessments,
particularly as the livestock industry
is affected. It is not believed that
the reductions will equal the pro-
vision made and if this should
prove true, it will be possible for
the county authorities to make a
slight reduction in the tax rate
figures presented by the budget.
The budget makes provision for
the following sums to be used as
designated: State school fund, $751;
900; Roads and bridges, $26, 900;
Common schools, $53,528; High
school, $23,500; Script redemption,
$26,500; Court house, $18,4O0;
Jail, $2700; High school contingent,
$6260; High school equipment, ST.
800; farm bureau, $4,000; County
state highway, $4,000.
Included in the county's esti-
mated valuation of $4,000, 900 is
an estimated City of Winnemucca
valuation of $2,360,963. The extra
sum to be raised within this city for
purposes of government is $35,75O,
and a tax rate of .98 will suffice
for that purpose. Adding to this
the county rate Of 1.122, state rate
amounting to so and 81 in
specials, Winnemucca property own
ers will find confronting them a
combined rate of $3.032 on each
one hundred dollars of assessed
value.
For Winnemucca school district
special levy for school bonds is
made of .031; for loan fund, .072;
gymnasium fund, .047; kindergarten
fund, .Q3; special, .13, making a
total Of 81.

THIRD TRIAL Of
FATTY ARBUCKLE
Gets UNDER WAY
One Juror Is Temporarily
Passed; One Witness Has
Left the Courts JuriSdiC-
ton; Not Available.
(By The Associated Press }

San Francisco, Calf, March 10.
One juror temporarily passed
was the record of the first days
session in the third trial of Ros-
coe (Fatty) ArbuCkle on man
slaughter charges arising from
the death of Virginia Rappe,
movie actress, and one of the
guests at a party given by him
last Labor day. Miss Rappe sue
cumbed September and Ar
buckle was arrested the day fol-
lowing for murder the charge
later being reduced in the police
court.
six veniremen We're examined,
Four Of these were excused for
having opinions, One proved sat
isfactory to both sides and the
sixth man was still under exam
ination when adjournment was
taken.
When court convened today it
was found that fourteen members
of the jury panel were missing
and recess was taken until
after lunch that the sheriffs dep
uties might round them up. Most
of these were on hand When
court re-convGhed.
The fact that a witness had
left the jurisdiction of the court
and was not available at this trial
was touched upon in the ques-
tioning of the veniremen. The name
of this witness was noe mentioned
but it was assumed the reference
was to Miss Zey Provost, one OF
those who attended the Arbuckle
party and who has been consider
ed an important prosecution wit
ness. She is in New Orleans and
reported to have said she would
not return for the trial.
The examination of the pros
pective jurors assumed a wider
scope than at either of the
previous trials and it was pre-
dicted freely that more than a
week would be consumed in OBJ
tanning the jury.
The women's vigilant commit
tee, representing the several
women's clubs Of the city, was
again in attendance and the trial
is being held before superior
Court Judge Harold Louderback
who presided at the other trials.

DECISION HALTS
D|SMANT NTLING OF
STATE RAILROAD
|. C. C. Has No Authority to
Authorize or Compel This
to Be Done, Is Ruling OF
Supreme Court.
lny rha Assoelnled pressl

Washington, Ma ch lS.-The In
terstate Commerce commission
was held today by the supreme
court to be without authority to
authorize or compel the abandon
ment Of a strictly state railroad.
The decision was handed down
in a case brought by the state of
Texas against the Eastern Texas
Railroad company, TO prevent thai
road from dlsmantlln- under an
order issued by the commission,
declared that where a railroad lies
entirely within q single state, Is
owned and operated by corpora
tiun Of that state, and is not part
of another line, and where it con
tinued operation cannot be OF
more than local concern, the com
mission was without jurisdiction,

merCe VIII not be burdened or af-
fected by any shortage in the earn
ings nor will any carrier in sucI

good the shortage" of the East
ern Texas railroad, Judge Van d.
Nenter in delivering the opinion
stated in delivering the opinion t.
which there was no dissent.
For the courts to hold, the deci
sion said, that congress in author
.ziug the Interstate CONNER
commission to regulate the eXtel
sion and abandonment of old line
intended that the commissio
should deal with the abandon
mcnt Of such q road as to intra
state as well as interstate and fCr
Uigu commerce, would raise u Sc
riUus question as to the constitu-
tional validity OF the law. Wher
a statute is susceptible of two con
strUcuons, by one Of which gray
and doubtful constitutional ques-
lions arise, and by the other such
questions are avoided, it is the
duty OF the court to adopt the lat
ter, Justice Van de Nenter said.
adding that by giving the section
The more restricted construction
its validity would be undoubted.
As construed by the court, it was
The intention of congress to enac.
q law to regulate interstate and
foreign commerce, and to affect
state commerce only as it may he
incidental TO the effective reSula-
ton and protection of interstate
commerce. Justice Van de Nentef
said there We're many manifesto
lions Of a continuing purpose on tn,
part of congress to refrain from an.
regulation OF purely state com
merCe, save such as was involve
in its rightful execution of its col
troll Of Interstate and foreign com
merCe.
Justice Van de Venter said the
court would not pass upon tn
question of whether the railroad
company was entitled to abandon
its line, because that question wa
not presented in this case, the onl.
issue before the court being, he eX
lained, whether the interstate com
merce commission had exceeded II
authority in ordering the railroad
to abandon it's line.

operation. maintenance or con-
struction charges.
The rate of interest on all de-
ferred payments is fixed at per
cent. The bill specifies. however,
that in event the fee and interest
charges are not paid. on the date
due after extension, that the water
user would be liable for all penal
