AMERICAN WAR
POSSIBILITIESBANISHED.
SAYM'DONALD, HOOVER
Navy Building Competition of Two Great Sea
Powers at an End Say Leaders as English
Premier Bids Hoover Farewell After Their
Notable Five-Day Conference at Capital

WASHINGTON. Oct. Q, WP) Tho
historic peace mission of Prime
Minister Ramsay Macdonald came
to a climax tonight when he and
President Hoover issued joint
statement declaring the possibility
of war between the United States
and Great Britain has been BAN
ished, and that competition in navy
building is ended.
For five days the spokesman Of
the two great naval powers have
been talking frankly, calling hard
facts by their honest names. They
parted tonight declaring jointly that
a new atmosphere baniSheS miStrust
and suspicion and makes war be-
tween the two powers unthinkible.
The Prime Minister and his
daughter called at the White House
tonight and took formal leave of
the President and Mrs. Hoover in
the famous Blue room, where they
met last Friday. Tonight PreSi-
dent Hoover departed from White
House etiquette. which virtually
makes the President of the Unitet;
States a social prisoner, and drove
out to the home of Secretary of
State Stimson to attend q stag
dinner in MacDonald's honor. Il
was a gesture of personal regard for
Macdonald. typical of the SIM
plicity which has surrounded these
momentouS conversations at the
White House and in the Presidents
mountain camp.

GREATER EMULATION
BRINGS FIVE CENT TAX
RATE CUT FOR VEGAS
Assessment in Educational District Number
Two Reduced From 81 to So Cents; Other
Changes Made; New School District Is
Created for Blue Diamond by the Board.

A five cent tax cut for Las We
gas! That was the decision of the
county commissioners yesterday, the
result of an all day session for
establishing school and other tax
rates for the coming year.
A two cent cut in the tax rate
for Educational district number
two, made possible by the increas-
ed valuations, was passed after
having been agreed to by the
school board, which met Tuesday
morning to consider the financial
problem.
The rate was cut from 81 cents
to SO cents.
A three cent cut in the Lincoln
Clark county redemption tax was
decided upon, for the same reason,
and the recommendation that the
rate for this assessment be cut
from IS cents to II was sent to
the Lincoln county commissioners.
Change Asked
BY law the Lincoln county
board is authorized TO set the tax
rate on this fund. which is for re-
dcnlption of bonds dating back
many years. 1t is expected that
the Lincoln county commissioners
will sanction this reduction, in
view of the greatly increased cval-
uations in Las Vegas. The Is cent
rate had been figured tentatively
on the 1928 evaluation, 1t was ex-
planned.
The request for this reduction
of rate was wired yesterday to the
Lincoln county board, with request
for an carly reply.
A proposed cut Of the educa-
tional district number two rate
from 61 cents to So cents was op-
posed by Miss Maude Frazier, prin-
cipal, in behalf of the school board
on grounds that such cut would
leave insufficient balance to un
on from July /, 1880 to- December
/, 1880.
Miss Amy Hanson, deputy state
superintendent of the schools OF
the county was present at the
meeting, in the interest of the
schools of the county.
Mr.. Carpenter, Of the Union
Pacific, appeared in behalf OF the
rairoad company.
New District Okehed
A new school district was ere
atcd by the board for Blue Dia-
mons, presumably to be opened
scme time this term.
Sloan school districts tax rate
was increased from 80 cents to 40
cents, a seven cent raise.
Dykes rate was cut four cents
from eleven to seven cents.
Garnet's rate was cut two cents,
from 20 to l8 cents.
For Enterprise a new tax levy
Of l68 cents was created, for the
purpose of retiring outstanding
bonds. The regular tax rate was
however, cut from 81 to 10 cents
Goodsprings' l3 cent tax for
bond retirement was stricken out
entirely, because the outstanding
bonds have been paid by last years
levy.
The tax for Educational District
Number one was left the same as
it has been.
