From Campo Santo NIno.

From MT. c. A. Kaiser, assistant general manager for the Yaqui Copper Company, who has this week been in from Campo Santo Nifio, THE OASIS learns that work upon the extensive properties is being crowded with all speed, and asplendid showing of ore is already made. Now there are 150 men at work underground, but others are being put on as fast as they come, and it is anticipated that by the middle of September there will be from 500 to 600 men constantly at work in ore.
 A new trail from the mine down to the river is now nearly com pleted. It is about ten miles long, but follows grade so easy that a mule can go the entire distance from the river up to the camp with a load within three hours. When that is done road will be built from the river to Llano Colorado, a point about fifteen miles west from the river At Llano Colorado there is good road directly west to Re- preso, about eight miles east from Minas Prietas. When the new road IS completed, which will be before October 1st, the journey from Minas Prietas to Campo Santo Nifio will require but two days in- stead of three by the route now

interest have been steadily declin- ing. The money loaner has paid the tax, not the mortgagor.
 The California constitution also sought to make the railways pay their fair share of taxation by put ting the power to tax them into the hands of the state board of equalization. It has taken more than twenty years for that board to succeed in raising the railroad assessment from $6,0OO per mile to $14,0 ,000 per mile. The valuation now assessed is not sufficient by fully 400 per cent. The constitu- tion and the law say that all prop erty shall be assessed at its actual cash value. When money loaners accept mortgages upon a given property they are very careful to loan no more than the actual cash value thereof, i. e.: the amount for which it will sell under the ham, mer. Most of the California rail- ways are mortgaged for $60,000 per mile. Shrewd capitalists, man. agers of trust companies, have guaranteed the bonds of the Cali fornia railways. They would not have done so were the property not worth the amount, if sold, to real ize the debt. Had the constitution makers inserted in the fundamental law a provision that in no case should any property be asses sed at a valuation less than that of any mortgage which might be upon it, that problem would have been solved, and the railways of Califor- mia would have been brought to the payment of four or five times the amount of taxes they have ever paid.
 The foregoing are matters for study by the people Of Arizona Tn considering the framing and adop- ton of a fundamental law for the new state next year. Arizona rail- ways carry a mortgage indebted ness of about $30,00O per mile. They are now assessed at $6,0O0 per mile. Put into the Arizona consti- tuition that all property must be assessed to the full amount for which it is mortgaged, and the rail- ways traversing Arizona will pay five fold what they now pay in taxes, to that amount of relief for other tax payers.
 Between this time and adoption of a constitution for Arizona THE OASIS will point out many other provi-

A RIGHTEOUS DECISION.

In the United States circuit court in San Francisco, Judge W. W. Morrow has just given severe jolt to a leading bank which had been in the habit of evading taxation upon large sums of money by transferring" them to branch banks in other states at the time of assessment, and transferring" them back when the assessment was made and sworn to. The method of operation was in this wise: Along the latter part of Febru- ary the defendant bank in San Francisco charged up" $250,000 to branch in Tacoma and $150,- 900 to another branch in Portland. Then upon March 1st the bank officials made affidavit to an assess ment $400,000 less than was actual ly in the vaults of the institution. The money belonged to the banks outside of the state and could not be taxed in California, was the allegation. But the assessor held different, and the matter went to to the courts. Judge Morrow held that the bank could not evade its burden of taxation in that way. That it accepted protection from the state, and it could not evade pay ment of its share of the cost of that protection by fictitious transfer to another state of large part of it's money just at the time of the tax levy, to be retransferred after the tax levy is made.
 The force of Judge Morrow's rul- ing is plainly apparent. And the money should be taxable even were the transfer bona fide. It was ad- mitted the money was still in the vaults of the bank. But it was claimed it belonged elsewhere. Sup pose there had been a riot in San Francisco the night of March 1st, upon which day the bank officials made their sworn statement for assessment, and the rioters had footed the bank. The State of Cali fornia would have been compelled by law to refund the $400,000 so lost. Having that responsibility to face constantly, the state is en- titled to it's pro rata share from all that money for the protection it gives, and Judge Morrow's decision is eminently just and right.
 The same judge has also rendered another decision where a corpora tion sought to evade the tax levied by the state upon the franchise under which it is operating. The

How To Save Money.

On and after September 1st, I will do a strictly cash business only, and will keep no books of account. This will save me ten per cent in expenses, and every purchaser of goods at my store of from 50 cents up will receive cash discount of 10 per cent. This applies to everything, except school books and general repairing.
 The above arrangement, l feel sure, you will find to our mutual arrangement and profit.

row held that as the constitution of California declares corporate franchises to be property, and, as such, taxable, the tax must be paid. The case cited is another instance where the United States circuit court in San Francisco has stood between the people and the unwar- ranted aggresiveness of tax-dodging capital.
 Both of the decisions quoted can be used as pointers for those who will have, next year, the duty of framing constitution for the State of Arizona. One of the greatest evils is the way in which corporate greed evades a just share of the burden of protection by gov ernment. The constitutions of the United States and of all the states provide that taxation shall be equal and uniform; yet, the in- genuity of constitution makers and of law makers has been taxed to the utmost to prevent evasion of that very provision by the very rich-whether individual or cor porate persons.
 The constitution adopted by Cali fornia in 1879 was one of the strongest and most successful ef forts in that direction. It was suc- cessful in breaking up the great Mexican land grants, which had been an incubus upon the growth of the state. Millions of acres of land which their owners would not sell at any price, paid taxes upon an assessment of only $1.25 per acre. The land grant owners con- trolled the election of assessors and county boards of equalization, who never did anything to remedy the evil. The constitution put the as- sessment of land grants into the hands of the state board of equal ization, and provided rules of pro- cedure by which the lands affected could be classified for purposes of taxation. Instead of assessing an entire grant at the valuation of it's poorest portion, it was subdivided and each subdivision assessed &C., cording to its valuation. Then fertile lands could not be used as cattle ranges and pay the tax on assessed valuation. The grant owners subdivided and sold them to actual settlers, who improved them and greatly enhanced their valuation.
 That one constitutional provision was at the foundation of the boom which spread over California in the 'S0s, and has not yet exhausted it. self.
 Another feature of the California l is that which provided 1 for taxing mortgages. The conten- tion was made that such a provi- i sion would be double taxation, be- cause the money loaner would add the tax to the interest. But the provided that the

opportunity for usefulness Is yet
to come. The expenditures Of tho
government are becoming very
large. They will need to be held in
check. The defense Of the public
treasury always fails on the commit
tee on appropriations. There will
be increasing need for men there
who can consider calmly and make
adequate provision for the real needs
Of the country, but who have also
the courage to cut off all unnecess-
airy expenditures. AS we have said,
Mr., McCleary is member of the
committee on appropriations. He
is the first Minnesota man 70 reach
that position. AS chairman of the
subcommittee having charge Of
appropriations for the district of
Columbia, MI. McCleary in the
recent sessions of congress cut the
appropriations about two million
dollars below the estimates, thus
practically saving the government
two million of dollars BY the going
of Mr.. Moody into the cabinet and
the retirement of one or two other
members who now outrank him on
the committee, he will in the next
congress be near the head of the
committee. And his prospect is very
good for becoming within a few
years, chairman of that great COM
mittee. It will be worth a great
deal to the country to have in that
position las it has now in the person
Of Mr.. Cannon of Illinois) a man of
candor and courage who represents
a district which makes no demand
for great federal expenditures. Such
a district is the second Minnesota;
such man is James T. McCleary.

ELECTRIC TREATMENT OF
FEED CORN.

ELECTRIC TREATMENT OF
FEED CORN.
Iowa Weather and Crop Service
Review: According to current
Newspaper paragraph, a farmer re-
siding in Marshall county, Iowa,
achieved remarkable success this
season by treating his seed corn to
an electric bath a short time before
planting. He filed barrel with
corn and water, placing a peice
of zinc at top and bottom Of the
barrel; and then, by the aid of the
electric light plant of Marshalltown,
the contents of the barrel received
an electric current of 500 volts,
continued twenty minutes. After
the corn was Z: 4houghly dried it
was planted in upland field of
average fertility, in which corn
had been planted nine consecutive
years. The: crop was remarkable
for:,the development of the stocks,
which attained an average Of about
eight feet in height and the thirteen
acre field brought forth that aver
age of about 70 bushels per acre.
This is che story in breif, Of this
notable experiment. inelectro-
planting seed corn, and the story
is given currency for what it is
worth. It will serve, at the least
as an illustration of the fact that
this is distinctively an age of
experimentation on all lines, and
that there is a general belief in the
marvellous potentially of electricity.
It should be stated however, that a
13 acre field yielding an average
of 70 bushels per acre is by no
means very rare in Iowa. There
