DANGEROUS LEGISLATION.

luoAc 10 q law Ou Jul StdtutS DOOhS
providing for the tax at ion of the net
proceeds of mines. The constitution
provides that the net proceeds from
mines shall be taxed, but with a view
to encourage mining, the chief indus
try Of Jul State, it also provides tina.
mines The mselves shall not be taxed.
The constitution also provides that all
taxation shall be uniform and equal.
Many years ago great litigation
arose concerning the taxation Of these
proceeds. Several cases involving
the present law and it's predecessor
were appealed to the Supreme Court
Of u State, two at least, and perhaps
more cases involving the same ques-
ton we're removed frcm the State
Courts to the United States Circuit
Courts and one or more taken TO the
Supreme Court of the United States.
All Of these Courts affirmed our pres
ent bullion tax law as legal and con-
stitutional, Owing to these suits
great delay in the collection Of this
class Of taxes ensued, and for several
years pendins their appeal, the State
was deprived Of it's az and put
to a great expense to have the ques-
ton determined.
Lately a bill has been introduced
in our Assembly to revise our present
bullion tax law, and providing that at
least ten per cent Of the gross yield of
all ores which assay twelve dollars or
less. shall pc taxed, and so on through
the other grades Of ores of higher
values.
1t occurs to US that this is not Just
right, because our Constitution and
revenue law provide that all property
shall be taxed at its cash value"
1t is true that many kinds of free
milling ores Of the value Of twelve
dollars will pay a profit of more tn an
ten per cent, yet there are other classes
of twelve dollar ores which cost so
much in their reduction not to men
ton other expenses, that they will not
afford a profit of anything. Still
the Improbable ore must nevertheless,
under this new bill, pay 40 equal tax
as the profitable, free ores. This can.
not be an "equal rate Of taxation" as
the Constitution provided, and dread
ing any change in the present law
which may lead to litigation and
delay and possibly defeat of u
revenue from our bullion taxes, we
caution Jul legislatures to let we'll
enough alone. The present law is
just and II properly enforced has
proven adequate and satisfactory.
We are confident that if our present
law is strictly enforced, it is safer
than the proposed one. which will
surely have to stand the test of the
Courts. Besides the existing one re-
quires all actual net proceeds to be
taxed, and tax somethYDg which costs
more than it is worth to produce, is
unjust and will discourage Invest
ment, development and enterprise in
all mining matters, and without min
ing is prosperous our State must for
yer languish.
