The territorial board of equalization

The territorial board of equalization raised the value of cattle assessed in Gila county II, per ceht and of sheep, If per cent, which increases the total assessed value of all property in the county to something over Sl,214, ,000, which is about S205, 900 more than last years assessment roll. Notwithstand- ing this large increase of taxable prop erty and the further fact that Gila county is about to receive S7,000 from the United States government for costs expended in the trial of Indians, the tax levy for ell purposes remains the same, Sf on each S100 valuation. The county's income will be increased this year over $15,00 To what purposes is this excess of income to be applied? The facts seem to warrant material reduction in the tax levy, but the board of supervisors have not seen fit to make it. With an increased valua- ton of property and per cent levy tax payers appear to have been handled rather roughly.

STATE NEWS NOTES.
MICHIGAN ITEMS WHICH WILL BE OF
GENERAL INTEREST.

Short Review of the Work of the State
Solons at Lansing-Other News of Inter-
est from All Over the Great State Re-
ported by Telegraph.
Lansing, Mich, May THE senate
railroad committee has recommended a
bill which provides for an increase Of
nearly 5000, 900 annually in the specific
tax paid by railroad companies. The
companies now pay 2 per cent. on the
first $4,000 Of the gross earnings of the
roads per mile, 2h per cent. on the Sec
ond 50, 900, 8 per cent. on the third 49,
600, 31a per cent. on the fourth $1,000
and 4 per cent. on all over $4,000. Thu
bill provides for an increase of l per
cent. in all classes except the first and
last, which are increased one-half of l
per cent.
Lansing, Mich, May S.-Three impor-
tant life insurance bills were put to
death through the agency of adverse
committee reports in the senate. One
required every company doing business
in Michigan to have a resident director.
Another required that at least 40 per
cent. of the gross premiums collected in
Michigan be invested in this state, and
the third required that 2 per cent. of the
guarantee fund be deposited with the
treasurer of this state as a guarantee
for policy-holders. The enate has also
passed the bill increasing the specific tax
rate paid by railroad companies so as
to increase the annual revenue from his
source by nearly 5000, 900. The vote was
unanimous. The senat has fallen in
line with the house and fixed May 81 as
the time for final adjournment.
Lansing, Mich. May Ex-Governor
Pingree's threat to keep the legislature
here all summer unless the members
pass some of his railroad bills, has not
had the effect evidently desired by the
governor when he made it. Most Of the
members here say they will not be
coerced into voting for any bill by the
governor or any other power, and the
general impression is hat the threat has
weakened rather than strengthened the
bills. The principal fight will be made
for the bill making a fiat 2-cent passen-
ger fare on roads operating In the lower
peninsula, but there is not much hope
that 1t will pass.
