Mining Claims and Taxation.

Sierra County Advocate.
Hon. Alloys Preisser, Assessor. Sierra
County, Hillsboro, N. M.-DEAR SIR:
l am in receipt of your letter dated
April I'd, with enquiry as to exemption
of mining claims from taxation. The
law makes the district attorney the
advisory officer for county officials, but
as your enquiry pertains to a matter
affecting the interest of the whole ter
ritory, l submit below my official
opinion on the subject. The matter is
covered fully by quoting two sections
from the laws of 1891. Chapter II, sec
ton 5. is as follows:
"Sec, 5.-That the following classes
of property shall be exempt from tax
alton for school purposes: Property
of the United States. of this territory,
of counties, cities, towns and other
municipal corporations when devoted
entirely to public use, and not held for
pecuniary profit; all public libaries;
the grounds, buildings, books. papers
and apparatus of literary. scientific,
BENEVOLENT, Agricultural! and religious
institutions, and societies devoted ex-
clusively to the appropriate object Of
those institutions. and not leased or
otherwise used with a view to pecuni-
airy profit; and cemeteries not held for
pecuniary profit. Provided, That
mines and mining claims shall pay a
tax upon the net product and upon sur
face improvement only"
Chapter 95, section I, is as follows:
Section THE following property
and no other shall be exempt from tax
alton: Property of the United States
and this territory, counties, cities,
towns and other municipal corpor-
| ations when devoted entirely to public
use and not held for pecuniary profit;
all public libraries, the gounds, build
ings, books, papers and apparatus OF
literary, scientific, benevolent, agrlcul-
tural and religious institutions and So
~cieties, when the property of said in
situations and societies shall be devot-
ed exclusively to the appropriate OBJ
iects of such institutions and not leas-
ed or rented or otherwise used with u
view of %pecuniary profit; mines and
mining claims, bearing gold, silver and
other precious or useful metals (but
not the net product and surface i'm
provements thereof for a period OF
ten years from the date Of the location
thereof irrigating bitches, canals and
fumes belonging to communities ant
used exclusively for rrigating lands
without any charge or compensation
for the same or water the necessary
work aud charges to keep the same II
repair; and cemeteries not held ant
used for pecuniary profit"
1t is thus the law that mines an(
mining claims, except "the net product
and surface improvements thereof
are exempt from taxation tor a period
of ten years of the location.

MORE TARIFF ROBBERY
Under the Guise Of Raising
Revenue for the Relief Of the
Present Stringcncy.

Chairman Dingley, of the Ways and
Means Committee, Thursday reported
to the House the tariff and bond bills
agreed on by the majority of the COM
mittee. The committee says: "Thc
serious fact which we are called upon
TO confront is that in the two and a
halt years that have elapsed since July
l, 1898 this Government has had an
insufIiciency Of revenue to meet cur
rent expenditures amounting in the
aggregate to about $l33,OOO,OO0. And
even in the first half of the present
fiscal year the deficiency will reach
about $780, 100000 and about 100000
in this present month.
"And up to the present time there is
no sufficient ground for thinking that
insufliciency of revenue will not con.
tinue during the remainder of the
fiscal year; and how much longer nc
one can safely predict.
eff the consequences Of such a
chronic deficiency were only the neces-
sity of borrowing money to meet cur
rent expenses in time OF peace, even
this would afford abundant reason
for increasing the revenue. But the
consequences are more wide-reaching
than that insufIiciency OF revenue has
made it necessary to use the redeemed
United States legal tender notes to pay
current expenditures and thus to sup.
ply additional means to draw gold
The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1895-12-31

and TO do this without delay, leaving
to others whose cooperation is re-
quired to finally place such legislation
on the otatue books, to. meet the re-
sponsibility in their own way.
The Committee says further:
1.-TWO facts have led your Commit
tee to look to an increase of customs
duties as the most appropriate source
of additional revenue. They are. first,
the fact that we are already raising a
disproportionate amount from inter
nal revenue. And, secondly, the fact
that by increasing customs duties on
imported articles which we can and
ought to produce or make at home !,
for revenue purposes, we can, at the
same time, incidentally encourage
stricken industries and materially aid
in turning in oar favor the balance of
trade which has been so heavily
against us all through this calendar
year, and which has caused a demand
for gold for export which our Treas
ury has been called to supply. For 20
long as the balance of trade is against
us on account of excessive imports, we
mnst export gold, or (what is the
same thing) promises to pay gold, to
pay for the excess of imports over ex-
ports.
"The bill reported by your commit
tee proposes to make the duty on inn
ported clothing wool 60 per cent. of
the duty imposed by the act of 1890,
which. would give an equivalent of
6 Clio of cent per pound on un-
washed wool, or about 40 per cent. ad
valorem. This reduction from the
duty of the act of 1890 has been made
because the restoration of the fnll duty
in that act might seem to be too great
change from the present law to those
whose corporation IL is necessary to
secure in order to have any legislation,
and not as measure OF what might
be done when all branches of the
Government are in harmony with the
majority of the House on protection
lines. The duty on manufacturers Of
wool is increasingly specific duty
equivalent to the duty on wool.
"rhe duty on carpet woods is left al
80 per centum adj yalorem, where it
was placed in 1890. This is purely
revenue duty, as we raise very few
carpet woods. Such lumber as was
placed on the free list by the act of
1890, without the slightest justification,
is restored to the dutlable list, but
with duty of only 60 per cent. OF the
duties provided by tic act OF 1900
The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1895-12-31

giving an equivalent Of only about Is
per cent. Such a reduction from the
low rates of 1890 is justified only on
the ground that the object of your com
mittee has been to frame bin mainly
on revenue grounds in the hope that
it would secure the approval of those
in official place, whose cooperation is
essential to legislation, and who may
be supposed to feel that in such an
exigency as now exists the public
necessity must control"
AS TO THE TARIFF.
The bill is as follows:
Bill No. "A bill to temporarily
increase revenue to meet the expenses
of the Government and provide against
deficiency.
Be it enacted: That from and after
the passage Of this act, and until Au-
gust l, 1898. there shall be levied, coll
lected aud paid on all imported woods

in the act hereinafter cited, approved

conditions and limitations thereof,
and on all hair of the camel, goat, al .
paca and other animals, except as
hereafter provided, and on all noils,
shoddy, garnetted waste, top waste,
slubbling waste, rowing waste, ring
waste. yarn waste and all other wastes
composed wholly or in part of wool,
and on all wooden rags, mungo and
flocks, duty equivalent TO GO per CEN
tum of the duty imposed on each of
such articles by an act entitled can

posess," approved October l, 1880, and
subject to the conditions and limita-
tons of said act; and on woods and
Russian camels' hair of Glass as de-
fined in said act, approved October !,
1890, and subject to all the conditions
and limitations thereof, there shall be

from the greenback redemption fund
iii short. to create the endless chain
of which the Secretary ofthe Treasury
complains, and which has made il
necessary to sell issue after issue Of
bonds to replenish the reserve.
"rhis will clearly be seen when it is
remembered that the Secretary of the
Treasury has issued and sold little
over $l62,000,O00 of five per cent. ten
years and four per cent. thirty years
bonds, from which he has realized
about $lS2000,000 and after redeming
$lS2,OO0,O00 of United States legal
tender notes with the proceeds, he has
been obliged to Immediately pay out
$l330O0,000 of these demand notes to
meet current expenditures, and thus
has furnished $133,000,00O of govern
mental demand notes to be again and
again used to draw gold from the
Treasury. And the necessity of more
revenue from the point Of view of the
maintenance of the redemption fund is
taken away by the fact that we have
$50 100000 of cash in the Treasury, in
addition to the $lOO,OOO,OOO (part gold
required for the redemption fund and
the twenty odd millions required as a
working balance This $50000000
represents $50 100000 of redeemed
United States legal tender notes for
whose redemption we borrowed $780,
100000 in gold. IT we continue to
paw them out to meet a deficiency OF
revenue then presently they will come
back again to draw $50,000,O00 more
from the Treasury, which we must
supply by selling $50,000,000 more OF
bonds. "
"The sugge 5tion, therefore, that we
need no more revenue because we
nave a cash balance of $50,000,000 OF
Government notes in the Treasury
that can be used to pay any deficiency
for the next six or twelve months, is,
in effect, proposition to issue more
bonds to meet a deficiency which
should be met at once by providing
more revenue.
"In other words those who oppose
raising more revenue in such situa-
ton in eGect--whether they intend to
do so or not--favor borrowing in
preference to paying as we go along.
Your committee believe that it is the
duty of the House Of Representatives
to which body the Constitution COM
mits the Inauguration of revenue bills,
to frame and pass a'measure that will
yield not far from $40000000, suf-
ficient to put an end to deficiency.

THE BOND QUESTION.
The report on the pond bill says
that the Secretary of the Treasury now
has the authority under the resump
ton act Of 1875 to issue and sell ten
year 3 per cent. bonds and thirty
year Der cent. bonds to maintain
the fund for the redemption of United
States notes, and that he has sold $500.

bonds and about s62,O0O,0O0 OF the
latter description of bonds in the past
two years, and as he announces his in {
tention to avail himself of the author
ity given by the resumption act, and
sell more high-rate and long-terms
bonds if necessary, the only questioniA
whether it's not clearly for the pub-V
licinterest that he should havs sutnor-
ity to sell lower rate and shorter
term bond.
The committee think that it is clear.

should have this authority, and add
I'm granting this authority howeyal
we have included in the bill prov s.

ABSOLUTELY PURE

law must not only provide for the de
suction OF stock destroying animals,
but must be so adjusted with refer
ence to the state finances as to insure
the prompt payment OF those entitled
to bounties under its provisions. A
law that provides for the payment of
bounties, without creating a perma-
nent fund from which these bounties
can be paid, will necessarily be of short
duration, and whatever benefit has
been derived from the killing of ami
mails under its provisions will soon
be swept away. / recommend the
enactment OF bounty law that will
stimulate the destruction of wolves,
from which our herds chiefly suffer, the
repeal OF the bounty on bears and
other animals not destructive to
stock, and the creation of a perma-
nent fund to pay the warrants issued
therefor.
Such a fund can be provided for and
maintained by setting apart per
SChI vi lhC liSChoCo ho" iCIoihCo W
the counties, for stock purposes, to
be consolidated with the sheep indem-
nifty fund, to which the state can add
by appropriation from $4,000 to
$4,000. To illustrate: Five per
cent of the licenses for the fiscal year
will reach approximately $4,000;
the half mill set apart for the sheep
indemnity fund will reach 5000;
$4,000 added by appropriation will
make an aggregate sum of $4,000,
from which about $4,000, on an aver
age, will be required to meet the actual
demands on the sheep indemnity fund,
leaving balance of $50, 900 to be ap-
piled on bounties. The law of 1891
should be so amended as to provide
for the counting and punching OF the
hides of stock-destroying animals by
the county treasurer and clerk OF the
court, without compensation. A
saving of twenty-five cents on each
pelt could be effected thereby, and the
opportunity for collusion done away
with. If at the end of the fiscal year
there should be any money remaining
in this fund, it could be used to liqui-
date outstanding warrants that have
been issued in payment of bounties,
should any part of the present defici-
ency of about $65, 900 rem ain unpaid
at that time. Should it be deemed
necessary to still further strengthen
this fund, the half mill levy on live
stock under the provisions of Section
50 of the Fifth Division OF the General
Laws, could be increased to one mill.
This, added to state appropriation
of $4,000, would swell the bounty
fund to such proportions asto make a
bounty law effective in the highest
degree, as well as to cancel the deficit
existing under the present law. At
the same time no appreciable bnrden
would be laid upon the treasury of
the state.

PROTECTION OF LIVE STOCK.
The live stock industry of this state
is entitled to the benefit of carefully
constructed and effective bounty law.
1t is believed that from 25 per cent. to
33 per cent. of the annual increase
of our herds is destroyed by wolves
and coyotes; that the percentage is
growing rapidly, and that unless re-
lief is afforded, the live stock industry
must be abandoned. There has been
much experimental legislation along
this line, productive of little good to
the stock interests, yet involving the
expenditure of large sums of money.
1t was necessary in 1887 to reconvene
the legislature in extraordinary ses-
sion to repeal a bounty law that
threatened to bankrupt the state.
Two years ago l was compelled to
withhold my approval of a bounty
law passed by the third legislative as
sembly on account of the condition of
state finances, and because said law
would have largely Increased the de-
ficiency already existing by reason OF
unpaid bounty warrants, without a
correspor ding benefit to the stock in
terests. To be effective, a bounty
