Simons said that no power warring
upon the Soviets "need count upon our

thus form a defacto government." lie

make Germany a battleground.
Russian Menace Removed
By United Press
WARSAW, Sept. 2 If the Polish
claim of annihilation of Budeny's army
is borne out it apparently removes the
greatest Russian menace on the Polish
front. Even at the time all other Bol
shevik forces were retreating this fam
ous cavalry leader held his lines in Gal
licia and only recently began a drive to
encircle Lemberg from the north, which
the Poles admitted was progressing to
their disadvantage.

Washoe county land valuations were
given a raise amounting to $198,487, in
spite of the strong protest made by As
sessor John Hayes. The Washoe coun
ty increase is to be distributed to a'l
classes of cultivated lands.
The decreases recommended and
adopted were $179,290 in the total valu
ation of the lands in Lyon county, and
$126,381 for Douglas county lands.
Interests represented by W. F. Dress
ier were granted reductions amounting
to $29,582 on land and $2,500 on farm
machinery. Assessor Lothrop of Lyon
county gave his approval to the de
creases and stated his reasons.
Several applications for reductions in
assessments on small tracts of lands
were considered by the committee and
the reductions made as recommended.
The committee's recommendation that
Jay H. demons be asked to appear to
give information bearing upon his re
quest for a change in classification and
reduction from $26 to $15 per acre on
14.569 acres of land in Lyon county was
received and Secretary Fletcher was
directed to notify Mr. demons to ap
pear Friday. The committee recom
mended denial of Mr. demon's appli
cation for a decrease from $7.50 to
$6.93 per acre on 19,136 acres of Hum
boldt county land.
It is probable that reports of all com
mittees, except that on town property,
will be made today and that the work
of the loard may be completed by Sat

The livestock committee made a pre

in this year's assessments on livestock

In the matter of the Adams-McGill
and Swallow assessments in White Pine
county recommendations by the land
committee brought forth protests from
Assessor J. F. Miles.
After the report had been read and
discussion was declared in order Mr.
Miles took the rlior and in unmistak
able terms charged members of the land
committee with having, at a hearing,
sought to disturb him and confuse him
when he was attempting to explain the
Adams-McGill and Swallow assess
ments. He declared that the committee
had practically refused to accept his as
sessment rolls as evidence and that the
attitude assumed by the inemlters of

the committee indicated that they be
lieved that all that was necessary was
io comply wiili the wishes of the Adams
McGill company.
Mr. Miles told the board that the
classification objected to by Mr. Swal
low when he appeared before the com
mittee had been sworn to, with hand
upraised, by Mr. Swallow. He was
positive in his assertion that the
Adams-McGill company evaded giving
a sworn statement. The assessor ex
plained that the Adams-McGill land
classification for 1920 is practically the
same as that submitted for the year
1919. He declared that he has in past
years run mowing machines over and
cut hay on hundreds of acres of the
Adams-McGill lands now put in classes
lower than should be the case. He as
serted that it was necessary for him to
follow the old classification because of
inability to get necessary information
from the company until a late day.
Mr. Miles informed his colleagues
that the Adams-McGill and Swallow
lands arc not assessed higher than oth
er lands in White Pine county, and said
that if the committee's recommendation
were followed he would expect like
treatment for all lands in the county.
The land committee, composed of
Shober J. Rogers, chairman, and Asses
sors Morton of Churchill, Weathers of
Elko, Nielsen of Douglas, Jurgenson of
Pershing and Lothrop of Lyon county,
recommended that the Adams-McGill
land assessment valuation be reduced
from the 1920 total of $306,000 to 120
per cent of the 1919 valuation of $201,
000, a total of $241,200. The same ac
tion was recommended by the commit
tee in case of the Swallow land.
Secretary Fletcher was directed to
telegraph Messrs. McGill and Swallow
in an effort to ascertain if they wish to
appear before the board. Motions to
defer action in the two cases until fur
ther information can be obtained were
made by Mr. Myles.
