WINNEMUCCA, Nev., Nov. 30. -
A move for the abolishment of the Nevada state tax commission and some other commissions at the coming session of the legislature, and for drastic reductions in state expenses has been started by the Nevada Live Stock association, which met here recently.
W. C. Noteware, an expert on land values and taxes, said the legislature would be presented with a balance sheet showing that ranchers and live stock raisers cannot continue in business at the present rate of taxation and the present prices they receive.
Noteware is preparing a table which will be presented to the legislature, showing how taxes have outgrown production while at the same time the state's population has decreased in the last ten years.
J. Sheehan, state senator-elect, and W. A. Brown, assemblyman-elect, expressed themselves as in accord with the Live Stock association. Sheehan saying he believed a cut of 50 per cent could be made in state expenses without affecting the efficiency.
Referring to the plan to build a new prison, Sheehan said:
"With a population of only 77,000 they must think we are all criminals if we build a new prison."
