Taxing the Mines,

It appears as il our Legislators would
never be satisfied with the taxation
imposed on the proceeds of the mines.
The Federal Legislature first laid a
tax Of this character some years ago,
and the percentage of taxation has
over since remained the same. Then
the State Legislature levied a further
tx for State and county purposes;
and an abominable burden it is, too.
But now Assemblyman Grey, OF
White Pine, has concluded that the
taxation in this direction is not heavy
enough, and proposes by a bill to re-
duce the percentage of the deduction
allowed for expenses of reduction
and transportation. Every N knows
that the percentage now allowed does
not owe the cost of reduction and
transportation. Yet Mr.. Grey, a rep
resentative from n mining district, is
trying to impose fresh burdens upon
this important industry, already
needing all the encouragement legis-
,lation can afford. We would rather see
IN effort on the part of Mr.. Grey, or
any other legislator, to tighten the
burden of taxation but we suppose
that is too much to expect of legis-
lators nowadays. We do not envy
Mr.. G,ey's prospects of political adj
vancement, if his constituents can be
made to understand the effect of his
action and we want to see the White
Pine Ne,cs take a bold stand against
this proposed change in the percent
age of deduction from the tax on the
proceeds of the mines. That paper
is under an obligation to its subsclib-
ers to enlighten them on this rroposi-
ton Of their representative. The cost
Of living and of labor is greater in
Eastern Nevada than anywhere
else in the State yet the taxation
for this part of the STATE, on
the proceeds of the mines, is the
same as it is in Storey county, where
one can live much cheaper. The
members Of the Legislature should
examine this matter closely, and we
think that body will refuse to adopt
Mr.. Grey's proposition. Let the tax
rather be reduced, or abolished alto
cether,

UTAH AFFAIRs.-The members of
the Grand Army of the Republic are
highly excited over the attitude of the

are being called to consider the crisis.
The Mormons are no less excited, and
the Herald of Salt Lake talks very de-
family. If force is to lie used to com
pei obedience to the laws among the
MormonS, we hope it will be 10 weak
and lame attempt on the part of the
Government, but sufficiently power
full to effect the object without blood

THE stockholders of the Credit Mo-
bilier petitioned for the dissolution of
the company in the Court of Common
Pleas, Philadelphia, OF the ground
that no business had been transacted
since 1868. The Court refused the
prayer of the petitioners, assigning as
a reason for doing so that such action
might jeopardize the claims of the
creditors Of the company. 1t appears
that it didn't takea great while to pur-
chase Congress, and that being accom-
plished, the Credit Mobilier suspended
business.

The Internal Revenue Department is
in dialema from which it is not likely to
emerge with alacrity. Under the laws
of Massachusetts quantities of ferment-
ed liquors have been seized and confs-
Gated upon which the Government tax
had already been paid by the manufact-
urers. Now the brewers ask if there is
no Federal authority to protect them
after they have complied with the inter-
nal revenue law. The question raised
will prove of great interest, not only in
Massachusetts, but through the country.
1t will in some measure test the validity
Of the temperance laws recently enacted
in several States, and the right of COM
munities to authorize or prohibit the
sale of fermented liquors in their midst.
Has the National Government full con-
troll of the traffic, because it receives
one dollar per barrel for the beer con-
sumed, or have cities and States the
privilege of maintaining peace and order
within their limits regardless of the loss
to the manufacturers Of the beverage 2
A petition will be sent to Congress next
winter asking the return of the tax paid
on liquors seized by the Bay State con-
stabulary. A fruitful query for the per.
feet politician is. here presented. This
subject has been brought to the notice
of the revenue department in a similar
manner once or twice before, but, so far
| as We are aware, without any definite
conclusion.
