TAXATION OF DITCHEs-We rccollect reading
n very able communication to the Bulletin, some
time ago, on the propriety of eXempting bitches
from taxation for five years We had intended
to notice the subject before, as it is one of great
Importance to the mining community.
The great wealth of this State is centered in
the mines, and the great wealth of the mines
cannot be fully developed without water. The
writer to the Bulletin seems to think that many
would be encouraged TO invest their money in
ditch property were it to be exempt from taxa
tion for five years. We cannot see the Justice
of his assumptions. There is no kind of invest
ment in California that has paid so liberal an
interest as ditch stock, aud the immense per
centum derived from the amount invested in
ditch property, we should think would be suffi-
cient encouragement to capitalists without de-
priving the State Of large revenue, by exemp-
ting bitches from taxation for five years. We
will notice this subject more fully at another
time-in the meantime invite dscussion.-.S
