STATE TAXES.

The high rate of State taxation bears
more heavily upon the less fortunate
and wealthy AK. payers than on the
Bonanza firm. and is particularly on
erous and aggravating when 1t Is con-
sidered that it might have been reduced
from 90 cents to 40 cents, or so cents at
the outside, and that all that prevented
it from being so reduced was the tan
ger that thereby Governor Bradley
would be stultified. aud he and his
Private Secretary lose some political
capital for the next campaign. The
Bonanza people are not the sufferers,
for thew are rich and can stand it; but
the real sufferers are the people. The
principles: mo matter how high taxes
are put, so that the Bonanza kings and
the mining corporations are cinched,"
which was somewhat popular for q
time, Is at a discount. 10Y that the I'M
necessary taxation Is about to be wrung
from the pockets of the people.
The above is from the Reveaite. There
can be no doubt that there has been
great reaction in public sentiment re
garding the tax rate for State purposes.
Taxpayers now begin to understand
that those who advocated the low rate
1T the last session of the Legislature,
were the true friends of the State and
people. But there is one danger which
must be guarded against in the future.
In condemningthe high pressure policy
which prevailed in the last session, it
will not do to go to the other extreme.
The true theory about the mining tax
is to tax the absolute net proceeds of
the mines, precisely the same as other
property is taxed, no more and no less.
The present law does not do this. Moth.
ing is allowed under it for" dead work."
II the miner extracts $4,000 worth
Of ore from portion of his mine
and expends SIS, 1000 for dead work"
in another portion, the Law treats the
$40, 900 as the net yield of the mine
and taxes it accordingly. This is so
manifestly unjust and oppressive, es-
pecially in the case OF partially de
velored mines, that it ought to be a
subject Of the most bewildering won
der that there can be found in the State
. single individual who justifies it.
And yet it is in this narrow untenable
groove that the advocates of Bradley
for a third term seek to run the Demo
cratic party of Nevada. With this
idiotic policy put in practice there is
not . miner or chlorider in the State
who should vote the Democratic ticket,
and we honestly believe but few would.
We would treat the mines and miners
just the same IS other property and
people.
