Fair Adjustment (?)

Why was it, after making a promise to fairly adjust the
burden of taxation so that it would fall the same on all class
es of property, that the Republican State Board of Equahza-
ton increased the valuation Of farm lands more than on any
other class of property?
Here's the way they increased valuations:
Railroad values we're increased, approximately 500
Money, Notes and Bonds, approximately 57%
Town Lots, approximately .--~....~.~39
Horses, Cattle, Sheep and Hogs, approximately 200
A LANDS, approximately ~..~.-----.14O%
Governor Hyde boasts that a less amount of taxes for
State purposes was collected last year than was collected I'M
der the last year of Governor Gardner's administration. If
this is true, WHY DID HIS ADMINISTRATION COLLECT

THAN WAS COLLECTED UNDER MI LAST DEMOCRAT

THE SEASON BECETS QUIET
TIMES IN DIFFERENT WAYS

The business man bides propitious
weather for trade transactions and
marks time within his establishment
without complaint, because he knows
that slack trade is a concomitant of
the period. But the newspaper pub
Usher is expected to fill his columns
with live news as regularly as he
issues his editions. 1t doesn't mat
ter that roads prohibit travel, or
that happenings simply do not hap
pen; he is confronted with the task
of telling something in a breezy,
interesting way, and cannot await
resumption Of activities. In these
times what may seem to your mind
to be an insignificant item assumes
tremendous importance in the mind
of the publisher and for this reason
friends Of The Silver State are
urged to exert themselves in supply
ing news items for publication.

OFFICE COST
is NOW VERY MUCH LESS

It will be remembered by county
property owners who foot the bills
that Humboldt county's assessors
office cost the taxpayers $1,000 Per
annum up to a little more than :
year ago, the sum mentioned repre-
senting all salaries of the ollice.
Figures on file in the Office Of Al
SCISSOR C. G. Smith, covering the
year 1921, show that the amended
salary law affecting his position re-
suited in saving to county tax
payers of $1700 for the last year,
certainly sum worth while in these
days of lowering costs and business
stringency.
The matter is revived at this time
in answer to statements made in OPP
position political circles that the re-
vised law resulted in no benefit to
the county taxpayers, yet figures Of
record are figures of truth and they
may be obtained by interested peo-
pie at any time.

BILLIARDS IN ELKO COUNTY
CAUSED TRAIN DELAYS

Drifting snow forced along by 9
heavy wind of hurricane proportions
caused an unusual amount of trou
BILE to the railroads traversing the
eastern end of Elko county few
days ago, according to the Free
Press. All difficulty, however, ha.
since been eliminated.
According to reports reaching
Elko from the storm affected region
there did not appear to be consid
cradle new snow. A very high wine
played havoc with the accumulation
of previous storms.
The Western Pacific was ths
worst sufferer, owing to the narrow
ness of some of the passes through
which its lines run. With the &C,
emulation of all of the severe snow
storms of the winter, there was
snow for twenty feet in several OF
the cuts. Although the rotary plows
have been used time after time, the
cuts are SO narrow that there is nc
more space in which to dispose OF
the snow. Trains are running al.
most between solid walls of heavily
packed snow which almost touch the
windows of the cars as the trains
pass through.
With the terrific winds the cuts
were filed as fast as the work OF
the plows relieved them. The dis
trict close to Pilot Mountain was
the one in which the greatest trou-
BILE was experienced by the Western
Pacific and also in the country be-
tween Wells and Starr.

NORTHERN ROADS TO BE
IMPROVED, CURRENT REPORT

It now appears that the recent
informal meeting held by the men,
bers of the Humboldt county COM
missioners' board and State High
way Engineer G. w. Borden in this
city last Monday evening was not
correctly reported in The Silver
State, although an unusual effort
was made to obtain the official in
formation. Failure to do so is at
tributed to the fact that the gabfest
occurred informally and the further
fact that there is an apparent un-
willingness in certain quarters to
furnish this newspaper with news in
which all taxpayers within this coun-
ty are interested.
The latest bulletin on the road
situation in this county contains the
following pertinent statements:
Tentative arrangements were
made by Mr.. Borden on the occasion
of his last visit to this city for the
expenditure Of $4,000 of state and
county highway funds on the i'm
provement of the road between this
city and DEMO and this outlay will
be made during the present season.
The construction to be under
taken will consist of about eight
miles. of road. Much of the route
to receive attention is in the Willow
Point vicinity.
Efforts are to be put forward to
have the northern route, No. eight,
given secondary designation which
would enable authorities to get fed
eral aid.
The work in prospect is to be
undertaken some time in June.
The county commissioners are to
pass resolution at an early date
calculated to make available about
100000 of county money for out
lays necessary for the construction
of the first two sections of the Vic
tory highway in this county.
State highway department sur
veyors are expected here as soon as
weather will permit of field work to
survey the road between this city
and the Pershing county line.

MEN CHARGED WITH ARSON
ADMIT GUILT IN FALLON

John w. Yon, George D. Walsh
and Wood L. Hill pleaded guilty
before District Judge T. C. Hart
Tuesday afternoon on charges of
arson and intent to defraud insur-
ance companies. All were SEN
fenced to serve from one to ten
years in the state prison at Carson
City, says the Fallon Standard.
The information filed by District
Attorney George J. Kenny charged
the men with burning and causing
to be burned, on the night of De-
cember II, 1921, the house owned
and occupied by Yon.
The men waived preliminary ex-
animation. Following their appear
ance in court, Yon said: "Hill was
innocent Of both those fires. was
guilty because l knew about the
one at my house but didn't sanction
1t or do anything to prevent it."
Both men stated that they were
aware Of the fact that the fire was
to be started, prior to the time, and
pleaded guilty because they had
taken no steps to prevent it.
When asked about the fire in Pc
oria, Illinois, which, according to
insurance detectives he had started,
Hill denied being criminally con-
nected with the affair. He espe-
cially denied the fact that he had
endangered the lives of any per-
sons, saying that the hotel had not
been occupied for six months prior
to the time the fire occurred.
Hill added that the owners of
the hotel had asked him to take
charge Of the property and that the
fire occurred while he was renovat-
ing the building. Although arrested
at that time, he was released.

TAX RATE WILL Be.
INCREASED A BIT
Shrinkase in Valuations Within This
County Are Anticipated by
Officials Who Have Tax
Business in Hand

The valuation upon which Charles
D. Mackay, county expert entrusted
with the task of preparing the 1929
county budget, will proceed, will
represent a shrinkage Of approx.
mately three-quarters Of a million
dollars in the totals for Humboldt
county, compared to the 1921 fig.
ures. Mr.. Mackay is preparing his
proposals on an estimated Humboldt
county assessed valuation of seven
teen million dollars, although the ac.
tual assessed valuation will probably
exceed this figure by a few hundred
thousand dollars.
It Is asserted that substantial ad-
vances must be made in the county
tax rate to meet contingencies in
volving expense to the taxpayer and
that the tax rate will surpass that
OF last year by several cents on the
hundred dollars Of assessed valua-
tion. just now the taxpayer looks
askance at anything smacking of in
creased cost and considerable COM
plaint may be expected to follow
official budget announcement.
II II not thought that the budget
estimates will be made public until
early next month.
Winnemucca's city tax rate will
remain the same in 1922 as in 1921.
