tee of the Whole in the
:. AZ Senate.

ering general orders in committee of

mended to be placed on the calendar for

During the morning session Mr..
Reeves moved that II. F. 7S1. his bill to
repeal the law providing for a tax of l
cent ton on iron ore and leaving min
ing property to be assessed and taxed as
other property is taxed, be made q spe-
cial order for 10 a. m. Tuesday. There
was no objection and it was made spe.
cial order as requisite !.
just before the noon ''"cess Mr.. Cant
moved that the vote, WIN eby the bill
was made special order, be reconsid-
cred. He explained that under the
present system the state receives one
half of the tax, which in 1894 amounted
to over $4,000. Under the other sys-
tenn of taxation the state would only re-
ceive about one-fourteenth of the tax,
the remaining thirteen-fourteenths 60
ing to the county. The people Of St.
Louis county did not ask for this
change, for they are sati SIZED with the
present system and do not wish to in
terfere with the development Of the
mines.
Mr.. Reeves objected to reconsidering
the vote and made quite an argument
against the present system of taxation,
and maintained that it was just to all
interests that the mining property be
taxed as other property.

and the special order for 10 a. m. Tues
day stands.

ferers was read and referred to the

is little remarkable that there should
have been so much smut last year in
view Of the character of the season. The
commonly received opinion is that wet
weather makes a smut year, but we are
hearing of great deal Of smut in spite
Of the abnormal drought. As has been
said, the seed of smutted corn will un-
doubtedly contain smut spores. 1t is
also true that the ground will contain
them and make smutty crop the next
season, although perfectly clean seed is
