ARRANGING THE WAR TAXES
BANKERS AND BROKERS ADDED
TO THE VICTIMS.
Life Insurance Tax Increased Five
Fold Provision For Inheritance
Tax-Bucket Shops Also Included.

Washington, May e.-When the
finance committee adjourned tonight,
the consideration of the war revenue
bill had been almost completed, al
though there were some puZZling prob
lens still unsolved, one of which was
the manner of dealing with proprietary
medicinal articles. There will be prob
ably a uniform tax on all of them.
The committee has decided to place a
license upon banks at the rate of 500
d year, and upon brokers at the rate
of $50, but has not yet determined
whether the professions shall be Ii
censed or not On life insurance COM
panies the rate has been increased five
fold, being made 10 cents on every hun
dred dollars, and it is estimated that
this increase viii add about million
dollars in revenue.
The provision for an inheritance tax
and for a tax on bills of lading We're
both adopted, as were the provisions
for taxing all dealings in futures, in
GLIDING bucket shop operations. The
bill, as it will be reported, will con-
tain provision requiring that a men,
orandum be made of all deals Of this
character, however small, and that a
two-cent stamp be placed upon this
memorandum. The Democratic amend
ments viii be taken up tomorrow, and
there is very little doubt that they will
all be adopted, as Senator Jones of Ne
vada has indicated his purpose of
standing with the Democrats on all the
principal changes they suggest
It is probable that the consideration
of the bill may be completed tomorrow.
but it is not probable.

Manager Theo. Bruback, of the Tri-
umph company. whose property is To-
Gated in the Silver City end of Tintic
district, received word yesterday that
the Judge of the Fifth district court
had denied the application of the plain
tiffs III the case of Wilson ct al. vs..
the Triumph Mining company for a
new hearing of the case, which was
heard short time ago and decided in
favor of the defendant, and in conse-
quence of this decision the president
of the company. together with the off,
GERS and stockholders, are feeling con-
siderably elated. and especially SO as
the property of the company, consist

tension lodes are surrounded and en-
circled by such we'll known and valu-
able producers as The Martha Washing
ton. Sunbeam and Undine mines.
1t is understood that the company
was saddled with its lawsuit through
the efforts of claim jumpers, who not
only sued for possession of the prop
erty, but also for 81, 900 damages. When
the case came up for hearing a stub
born fight was put up by both sides,
withthe result as above given, and now
that new trial has been refused it
is the intention of the company to re-
sume active work in the thorough de-
Velopment of the mine and already a
contract has been let for the deepening
OF the main shaft another 100 feet,
when a drift will be run to cut the
body of ore exposed in the drift from
the bottom of the 100 foot shaft.
When this discovery of mineral, en-
bracing from u to Is inches of solid
ore, was made. sample was sent in
that showed assay values of IA per
cent copper, As per cent lead, 252. "a
ounces silver and so cents in gold to the
ton. The ore was very similar in ap-
pearance to that being shipped at the
present time from the Martha Wash
ington mine, the near neighbor of the
Triumph, but Mr.. Bruhack could hard
ly believe that it would run so high,
and in company with J. A. Kirby, of
the Bullion-Beci1, he made a visit to
the property, and the two took average
samples from two different places on
the vein. one of which assayed 315
ounces in silver and the other los. with
about The same values in lead, copper
and gold as found in the first sample
sent in.

it had in the-mine, but now ii |
is different and from this time on the |

SCHOOL TAX CASE.
Rio Grande Western Railway Com
PAW Sues Salt Lake County.

The Rio Grande Western Railway
company has entered suit against
Stephen H. Lynch, treasurer of Salt
Lake county, to recover l,693.72 alleged
to have been overpaid. under protest,
for taxes.
1t is alleged in the complaint that in
1897 the state board of equalization as
sessed all the taxable property of the
plaintiff in this state, including the
rolling stock, and of the total property
assessed, the sum of $67, 1908 was appor-
toned to Salt Lake county, exclusive
of roadway, tracks and real estate,
which was separately assessed.
1t is then alleged that it was the
duty of the board of commissioners of
Salt Lake county to apportion the
amount of the assessment for school
purposes, fixed at the rate of 271a mills,
to the various school districts of the
county. and that Salt Lake City school
district should have received in the
proportion that 5.57 mills bears to e27
mills, the former being the number of
miles. of road the plaintiff owns in the
county and the latter the number of
miles in Salt Lake City. Instead, how
ever, the commissioners apportioned
the whole OF the amount to the CITY
and school district of Salt Lake, and
the defendant paid the same, amount
ing to $1,s50s7; whereas, if the appor-
tionment had been made as the plain
tiff claims it ought to have been made,
the amount would only have been
$153.15.
1t is then alleged that the PLAINTIFFS
property was assessed in the other
school districts of the county and the
tax paid to them, wherefore the plain
tiff prays for judgment for the amount
overpaid to the Salt Lake City school
district
