N. Fletcher of Reno, Nevada, a former member of the Nevada State Tax Commission, sketched the development of the public utilities, alluding to "the startling efficiency now shown as compared with the previous wasteful individual effort," and said that this efficiency was carrying with it enormous profits to which the public had paid little attention. He dismissed the suggestion that public utilities under strict regulation should not be taxed at all by noting that in such case a part of the public would be benefited at the expense of a larger part not served by the utility and the loss in taxes would, have to be made up by other property on a wholly unfair proportion. The same reasoning, he contended, would apply to municipal ownership under which a cheapening of rates to a small portion of the community would give them an unfair advantage over the taxpayers generally. "No one Is Injured by keeping the tax on," he said, "but always the many are injured for the benefit of the fewfby taking it off.

"We will bring some action, not against Ixiren Coburn, but against his wife," said Carl. "I dbn't know what the nature of the suit will be, but we will have to take some steps to.
