"What-what was 1T" the children

Gee! I almost dropped that great
big ornament" said Robert e~xcitedly.
1T was a great, huge pine tree,
decorated with little packages. These
little parcels were wrapped in paper
which looked like a spiders webb so
fine, silky and delicate was it. Then
these were suspended from the tree
by a string which shone in the after
noon sunlight like raindrops.
Little stars had given their serv-
ices for the surprise and they
twinkled from among all the branches.
1t was too much for the little SUBJ

tree where they were to admire it.
"Then some of the fairies began TAX

But the ships did not cease doing
business. They were merely sold to
owners who operated them under other

lands. They employed foreign seamen
and trained the people of other ma
lions for service. They had their
repair work done in foreign lands, and
bought their supplies abroad.
"In addition to all that, they helped

A young man giving the name of

hospital here this morning, having
had a bone in his foot crushed
while riding the bumper of a West
ern Pacific freight engine last night.
Justen, who is still in his teens, was
beating his way when he became
careless, near Gerlach, letting his
foot rest between the bumper and
the engine. When the engine was
backed up, giving the train a jolt, he
states his foot was caught before
he had time OF move it. He was
brought to Winnemucca and decided
to seek place to sleep in the jail.
This morning he was taken to the
hospital and although his injury is
reported serious the attending ply
sician believes his foot can be saved.

MooNsHINE MADE IMBIBER
WANT TO FIGHT EVERYONE

The neighborhood in the vicinity
of Bridge and Sixth streets was
aroused by loud talking and other
comotion about two o'clock Sun
day morning when a late pedestrian
who had imbibed a little too freely
of moonshine refused to go home
peacefully and was refusing to be
persuaded by his friends that that
was the place for him to go.
By the time officer Perry Boyd

it is said some lively punches were

HENDERSON TELLS
OF TAX INCREASE
Former u. 5. Senator Says State
Taxes Increased Over Hundred
Per Cent During the Year
From 1921 to 1922

Former Senator Henderson, who
has been making an intensive study
of Nevada taxes over a period of
the last twenty years, read some
of his findings to the Progressive
Business Club members at Elko.
Prior to the reading of his findings,
he emphasized the point that pro-
gress does not mean lavish expendi-
ture of money.
Among the most interesting of
his figures were the folloginw:
During the period between 1916
and 1921, there was an increase in
state taxes Of 51.1 per cent while
county taxes increased 56.3 per
cent. In the period between 1921
and 1922 there was an increase Of
state taxes Of 102 per cent, while
county taxes showed an increase Of
1898 per cent. What were the
benefits derived from this excessive
increase, Senator Henderson asked.
In 1901 the sum of 1927 ,130 was
raised in Nevada for expenses Of
state government. In 1907, $685.
904 was raised. In 1912, $685.
523 was raised, in 1916, 1907 800
was raised. In 1921 $1,2o0,500
was raised by taxation in Nevada
for operating expenses Of the state
government. The year 1920 was
even higher than 1921 in this mat
ter, indicating that the state ex-
penses are now on decrease, in
stead Of steadily rising.
County taxes, covering all coun-
ties in the state, rose from $780,
334 in 1901, to no less than $2,-
1888 in 1921.
Among other things, Mr.. Hem
derson called attention to the per
capita tax in Nevada, and compared
it with that Of other states. The
Nevada tax amounting to $65.S5 is
far ahead Of the per capita tax in
Washington, Wyoming, or New
Mexico, he reports.-Elko Inde-
pendent.

EXECUTIVES FOR
F|REMEEN NAMED
Meeting Held Last Night to Decide
Who Shall Have Charge of
Firemen's Annual Rodeo
and Carnival Events

+. First steps for a two-day carnival
and rodeo to be held in this city in
cluding Labor day were taken last
night at a meeting Of members Of
the volunteer fire department and
an executive committee was formed
for making preliminary plans. An
other meeting is to be called soon
and the members of the executive
committee will appoint other COM
mittees to take care of the various
phases Of the program.
These rodeos and carnivals are
put on yearly here by members Of
the fire department and every year
they try to make the event a big
ger and better one than ever be-
fore. This year they plan to have
so many different phases and such
line of stunts that two days
will be required to cover everything.
The aim of the fireboys in giving
these celebrations is not to make
money but to give the people a
good time by charging only enough
to cover expenses.
Members of the executive COM
mittee as appointed last night are
F. J. Oliverius, Don Cooper, Guy
Asbury and L. L. Sewers.
More will be published concerning
this big event as definite plans are
made and as soon as program can
be decided upon.

RAILWAY OFFICERS
DEPL0RE DIVORCE
Conferred Here Today With Local
Business Men in Regard to
Proposed Dissolution of S.
p. and Central Pacific

For the purpose of putting for
ward the Southern Pacific Com
pany's position in regard to the re-
cent order of the United States su-
preme court that the Southern Pa
cific and Central Pacific railroads
be operated as separate holdings,
under separate management, J. M.
Fulton of Reno, assistant general
freight and passenger agent, and
IL. W. Wistmer of Sparks, assistant
superintendent Of the Salt Lake di-
vision of the Southern Pacific Com
pany, met this afternoon with a
number of Winnemucca business
men in the Chamber of Commerce
rooms in this city. The railroad
officials are visiting all cities and
towns along the Southern Pacific
route for the same purpose.
Mr.. Fulton was the principal
speaker at the meeting held here
today and in as few words as possi-
BILE stated the railroads side of the
case, saying in effect that the por-
posed dissolution will not improve
service or lower freight and pas
senger rates, or accomplish any
other tangible good to the public
or railroads, but if carried out ac-
cording to the supreme courts
order will result in chaos in rail-
road affairs and disaster to the
Southern Pacific Company's 54,-
600 stockholders and holdings
valued at five hundred million dol
lars. The expense of such a move
would of course be enormous. The
will of the people as found in ex-
pressions of public opinion, Mr..
Fulton believes, will be the decid-
ing factor as to whether the roads
shall be operated separately or
jointly as is now the case, and
that such public opinion may be-
come rapidly crystalized forms the
basis of the railroad executives
activity at this time.
The situation confronting the
railroad company because of the
supreme courts order of dissolu-
tion was similarly explained to
business men in Lovelock this morn
ing, Mr.. Fulton said, with the re-
suit that the Chamber of Commerce
there went on record as opposed to
the division of interests, feeling
that the enormous expenditure
necessary would eventually fall
heavily upon the ultimate consumers
without bettering railroad service
or rates, and without benefit to the
state of Nevada. He did not ask
that similar action be taken here,
but merely stated that it was his
desire that people here know what
is going on.
Secretary Grady of the Chamber
of Commerce stated that a COM
munication had been received from
the Reno Chamber of Commerce
wherein it was requested that any
action in the matter be postponed
until such time as all facts concern
ing the case are available and thor
oughly considered. This would not
in itself have any particular bear
ing upon any action the local body
. might take, but in that no copy of
the supreme courts decision is yet
