Germany last week which cost the

LOCAL TAXES INCREASE 200
PER CENT IN TEN YEARS

Secretary of Agriculture Wallace
in his last annual report. referred to
the tremendous increase in taxes in
rural communities. He stated that
since 1918 taxes on farms have more
than doubled in actual money, In
relation to farm income, the increase
has been greater, as the taxes IN
1918 absorbed less than one-eighth
of the toal farm income, whereas in
1921 they absorbed one-third OF the
farm income.
The total Indebtedness of Nevada
and its political subdivisions in 1872
was $1O1.5e per capita, an increase
over 1912 of 147 per cent. The state
indebtedness has increased 1923 per
cent during the ten-year period.

Will be Last Game
Played by Douglas
Team this Year
BY HOMER RAYCRAFT

On Thanksgiving Day. Thursday,
November 29th. the Douglas County
high school football team will tangle
with the pigskinners of Stewart In
stitute.
The coming event will be the sec
ond time the two teams have met.
The first time the Indians was by a
score of 1871, but according to the
members of the high school team,
the score will be entirely different
this time.
The first game was played at
Stewart two weeks ago and since
then the home team has been prac-
ticing faithfully and diligently. They
have several new plays and have i'm
proved their old plays to such an
extent that they will be In the peak
Of condition on Thanksgiving.
OF course, an allowance may be
made for improvementof the Stewart
team. but out and out the Tigers are
out to fight, and with the breaks even
will win
That the Tigers have improved
since their game with Yerington on
the home grounds is proved by the
fact that they put up such a terrific
scrap against the beefy Fallon aggre-
cation. Fallon had her hands full
putting over her counters, and gave
the local lads credit for gameness
and fight such as no other team has
exhibited.
The coaches have been busy dur
ing the past week whipping the team
into shape for the last two games of
the season. A change in the line up
may be the final outcome of the
weeks grueling practice looking to-
ward the strengthening of the team
Imelli has been shifted from end
to back field or may be used on the
line. Having shown snch value as
a utility man Imelli will make the
regular backfield dig for berth.
Anderson, though playing against the
jinks last Saturday, as did Raycraft,
will probably be used at both end
and half. At least no berth is Sc
cure and for the good of the team
some drastic changes are likely to
result. Coach Lewis has been ham
mering away to rub off few Of the
rough spots in the squad. and to
patch up a few of the weak places
in the lineup. Captain Dressler has
been put through same strenuous
workouts in plugging the line, and
in general the back field has been
drilled ON perfecting its interference.
Ocensivaly the Tigers have been
weak, and toward increasing the ef-
fectiveness of the team as a whole
considerable time has been spent on
this one thing. Since the last game
/ the ranks of the Tigers has been
added to both in weight and strength
/ by the return of Cecil (Jumbo)
Stodieck to school. In the Turkey
Day Game he will no doubt render
good account Of himself. though
lacking in experience.
The people of the Valley, as well
as outsiders, are promised fast
and furious game in Thanksgiving
! Day. This game will be the last one
of the season for Douglas high school
and it is hoped that the turnout for
this event will far exceed anything
on record in the county. The Tigers
are determined to end their first
season Of football successfully and
gloriously. Get back of the team
and boost Be out for the game on
Turkey Day.

NO CONCESSIONS,
 FRENCHMAN SAYS
Poincare Says His Country Will
 Not Give in One Bit -
By The Associated Press.

By The Associated Press.
 senlis, France, July 1s.--In this lit- tie town, the nearest point the Ger mans reached on their smash toward Paris Premier Poincare gave yester- day what is considered his prelimin- ary answer to Great Britain's attitude on reparations which was enunicated last week in both houses of parlia- ment. His real answer of course will be in reply to the note that Great Britain will propose as a joint allied reply to Germany.
 The premier did not make any di- rect reference to the British position but simply outlined his own antici- pating in several instances what is generally believed will be the featXes of the British proposal.
 France. asserted M. Poincare, stands unalterably for the complete execu- ton of the treaty of Versailles and the full payment by Germany of the debt of 132,ooO, 100000 gold marks. the sum fixed at the London confer ence, France, he added. in con- sequence, opposes the appointment of an international finance committee to reconsider Germany's debt and sup plant the reparations commission.
 No More Concessions
 No more concessions will be made by France, was the gist of his address to the citizens of Senlis, some of whom saw the Germans place part of their village in flames and shoot some fthe civilians. From the signing of the peace treaty until now France has been making concessions continually he asserted.
 Then why have we said we have reached the end?" he asked. Tt Is because until now they always have been at our expense. Has not Ger many been so we'll looked after dur ing three whole years that she has been allowed to default on all her obligations so that we had to pay with our own money 100000, 100000 francs she owed us and has not paid :? Has she not been allowed to rebuild a commercial fleet and develop her canals and railroads and enrich her great industries at the expense of her creditors ?"
 Germans Need Force
 Germany has done nothing to stab ilize her finance, he declared, and will not put her hause in order unless forced. To think that she will is a delusion.
 For three years the allies had followed this mirage and for three years things have been going from bad to worse. If we were not in the Ruhr Germany would have been empty handed, while now we hold se- curity, and we are powerful enough not to have to let go."
 The French premier reminded his hearers that France had been disap- pointed in promises of guarantees of protection from her allies in the war and re-asserted his position that Frances present methods are legal
