Taxation Which Does Not PAY.

Vessel property is of such a nature
that only such owners as wish to be
need be taxed for it. The companies
who are brought into the collectors
hands by the recent decision can find
scores of places all about the lakes
which will be glad to let their boats lie
up without taxing them for the priv
ilege, and they will escape from De-
troit's tax gatherer simply by escaping
from Detroit Their departure will
necessarily injure the town to some ex-
tent, if it only deprives Detroit work.
men and business men of the money ex-
pended every spring in fitting out But
the indirect injury will be much greater.
Ship building and repairs will naturally
follow the ships to the places where
they are treated with the greatest gen.
crosby, and it will only need a continu-
alton of the policy to Danish to other
ports every dollar which is now ex-
pended here by the shipping interest.
The recovery of few thousand dollars
from the ship owners this year will
hardly compensate the city for the in
jury that would ultimately be done the
town by driving the shipping interests
out of it by hostile treatment
But why should not this sort of prop
erty be taxed as well as other sorts,
may we ask? The answer maybe put
as another question: Why is not the
promissory note taxed? Why is it that
under our most recent law mortgages
can no longer be taxed? Why is not
the cash in your pockets taxed? Why
is not your balance at the bank taxed?
Simply because the experience of man
kind has discovered that no community
can make that sort of taxation pay.
There are certain things which even the
omnipotence of q government can not
do, and this is one of them When
mankind has a good deal more expert
ence, it may dawn upon governments
tina. they are still trying to tax good
many things which do not pay for the
trouble. And possibly we may live to
see the day when taxation will no
longer be used as a means of depressing
industry, discouraging enterprise and
promoting unprodnctive speculation

June 80. 1882, for land adjoining Butte City.
The patent was issued for thirty acres Of
placer. to David N. Upton, Charles S. War

on which the government was asked to in

THE DEMOCRATIC ANSWER
The Republican Demurrer TO II
0verruled by the SUI
preme Court
A Reply to the Answer to Be Made
This Morning by Leech's
Counsel.
The Case May Result In an Inspection OF
the Election Returns by tho
Court

The demurrer which Loech's counsel
filed In the Box Elder case to the answer of
the Choteau county cenvassing board was
overruled yesterday by the supreme court.
A motion for q peiemptory writ OF man
date on the answer, made by Leech's
counsel. WAS also oyerruled at the same
time. Chief Justice Blake and Associate
Justice HARDWOOD CONQUERED in the over
ruling and Associate Justice Dewitt dis
scented from the decision Of his colleagues.
The cont suggested to e1-Chief Justice
Wade. who appears for Leech, that he file
a replication to the answer Of the canvass-
ing board. Judge Wade announced that
he would do 40 this morning at 10 o'clock
when the court oonvenes. He said he would
also file a motion to strike out certain parts
OF the answer and arguments will
probably be made to-day on
the replication and motion TO
strike out. These proceedings are to settle
the questions Of pleading in the case. Tie
attorneys say it may result in a trial before
the supreme court In which event the usual
course would be to bring the election re-
turns in the possession of the clerk of
Choteau county before the court for in
spection. The pleadinRs. however. may
not take this turn and only raise questions
oflaw for determination. In passing upon
the demurrer and motion for q peremptory
writ yesterday the court did not hand down
any written opinions, the decisions being
announced orally for the court through the
chief justice. When the case is finally
passed Upon the court will express its views
in writing on the questions involved.
An opinion was handed dow yesterday
in the case of the state on the relation Of
George r. Cope vs. w. q. Minar. treas-
urer Of Choteau county, granting a writ of
mandate to compel the payment OF a county
warrant issued to Barnard Brown and by
him transferred to Cope.
A decision was also rendered in the case
OF j. O. Gregg Va. Charles Garrett, res-
pondent, affirming tho Judgment of the
lower court, which was in favor of Garrett.
Gregg sued to recover possession of certain
hay or 300 damages.

Are You Interested in Gold Mining?

If SO, investigate thoroughly the wonderful results obtained by
the CRAWFORD MILL. This mill, from actual working tests, has
achieved greater results, grown in popularity more rapidly and is
to-day going into more mining camps than any other mill. It's
simplicity, cheapness, high saving powers on base ores fills a long
needed want, and hundreds OF low grade base mines heretofore
lying idle can now be worked as good dividend-paying properties
No one interested in a gold property should fail to investigate this
