DANGEROUS LEGISLATION.


There is a law on our statue books pro-
Nidinp for the taxation of the net pro-
ceeGs of mines. The constitution pro-
yi,l, ) that the net proceeds from mines
shall be taxed. but with a view to en-
courage mining, the chief industry of our
state, it also provides that mines them
selves shall not be taxed. The constItu-
ti1n llso provides that all taxation shall
be uniform and equal.
Many years ago great litigation arose
concerning the taxation Of these proceeds
Sew raj cases involving the present law
and is predecessor were appealed to the
SUI Court of our State, two at least,
and perhaps more cases involving the
samo question were removed from the
Stato Courts to the United States Circuit
Gov IS and one or more taken to the Su
Trtnie Court of the United States. All
ofthase Courts affirmed our present bal
lloti IAN law d. regal dllNt N'llSllSulioIihi.
Owing to these suits great delay in the
collection of this class of taxes ensued
and or several years pending their APP
pcal. the state was deprived of its rev
emu, and put to a great expense to have
the uestion determined.
la. civ bill has been introduced in our
Asst mbly TO revise our present bullion

BLOWN UP BY POWDER
FORTY PEOPLE KNOWN TO HAVE
BEEN KILLED.
Powder Magazine at La Goubr.n, France,
Containing $4,000 Kilogrammes OF
Black Powder, Explodes with
Terrible Results.

Toulon, March THE naval maya
and Toulon, in the department of war,
southern France, exploded Sunday
morning. All of the soldiers on duty
at the magazine were killed and a
number of inhabitants of the district,
ME buildings of which were RACED,
also fell victims. Forty corpses have
already been recovered. The cause of
the explosion is not known.
Fifty thousand kilogrammes of black
powder exploded. 1t looks as though
volcanic eruption had occurred, the
country being swept almost bare with
in a radius of two miles, houses des-
troyed, trees overturned and fields
and impalpable black dust. Some of
the stones are enormous. One weigh
ing fifty kilogrammes fell in the suburb
of Pone de Las
Signs of'the explosion are evident in
all the suburbs of Toulon and in the
city itself Even at ST. Jean de Var,
five miles distant, windows were shat
tered and doors battered in.
Later reports show that of the seven
sentries, four were killed outright and
the others severely injured.
1t is now believed that the explosion
originated in chemical decomposition
in smokeless powder. There is no sug-
gestion of foul play.

NAVY YARD AT CAvITE.
Government Secures Concise History of
tho Yard and Arsenal


tho Yard and Arsenal.
Washington, March 5.-Through the
courtesy of a Spanish residence at Ma
Mia the navy department has secured
a concise history of the navy yard and
arsenal at Cavite. 1t appears this was
started in 1909 by the Spanish Admiral
M. de Alva, the materials being pro-
vided from San Bias, Cal. The arsenal
developed greatly during the command
of General Enride in 1894, when a
large frigate, the st. Esperanza, was
launched there. A great part of the
buildings were destroyed by earth
qualxes in 1928 and 1865. The arsenal
and navy yard cover 71.61 square miles
and, it is represented, the yard can be
made one of the best naval stations in
the far east.

him to remain premier without = dis
solution. Thereupon the queen regent
referred the same request to Senior

same reason. Finally, Senior Silvela,
the Conservative leader, accepted the
task, and it is expected he will submit
Conservative ministry to her majesty
for her approval.
