A DIFFICULT Task.

The Virginia Enterprise is endeavor-
ing to make it appear that the Act
passed by the Legislature releasing the
Bonanza companies from the payment
of nearly $lO0, 900 is not modification
of the bullion tax law. The Enterprise
will hardly dispute the proposition that
the California and Consolidated Vir-
ginia mining companies Will have to
pay the State and Storey county
$95, 833. if the relief bill il vetoed and
the provisions OF the bullion tax Act are
enforced. 1t 10 therefore evident that
the relief bill is a modification of that
Act. We shall next see the Enterprise
sndeavoring to make it appear that
those members ofthe Legislature who
voted against reducing fares and freights
did not violate their pledges to the PEG
pie who elected them. This is an up.
hill task for the Enterprise; bot it may
succeed in doing so. ut least to its own
satisfaction. If the relief bill Included
all the poor people in the State who
have been compelled by poverty to let
their taxes become delinquent, it would
have the merit of being charitable, il
not Just Act. but to release million.
aires only from the payment of what
they legally owe the State is neither
Just nor charitable.
