mended the adoption of Speaker Downey's

warm endorsement. of the memorial.
TAXATION OF COAL,
There being no business before the
house yesterday afternoon Speaker
Downey suggested an informal discussion
on some topic of Legislative interest, Mr..
Jesurnn promptly put himself on record as
favoring taxation Of the output of coal
mines, himself broaching the subject. He
thought there ought to'be a small royalty,
one third to go to the territory and two
thirds TO the county in which the mine is
located. In Wyoming the Union Pacific
coal property is valued at $50. 900, 900,
but the taxes are not sufficient to pay the
salary of the inspector.
Mr.. Thomas would oppose taxation of
the output. In the first place it was dis
elimination apparent. Then the tribute
would eventually come from the miner.
Another opponent developed in Mr..
Kellogg, who said the coal mines in his
county were not old enough to pay taxes.
Mr.. Jesu-un spoke again after Mr..
Hebard had read from the law a section
including the phrase but all property
subject to taxation shall be taxed In pro-
portion to its value" He said he paid
on a valuation ofsll for a SIT cow, while
the coal mine owners paid on 81 for land
worth at least 5000 an acre. Mr..
Thomas pre- duced a laugh by saying that
Mr.. Jesurun would perhaps object to pay
ing a fay IN the cows mill
