Proposal to bond the county for i'm
proyement of public highways.
Mohave County miner., 1902-09-20

One of the greatest evidences
that the people of this county need
OF the lnconpetency and lack Of
business methods is the driving of
new mining companies to neigh
boring states for locations for their
reduction plants by reason of the
abnormally high rate of taxation.
On this side of the river the levy is
forty-fivr mills, while ON the Cali
fornia side he rate is but seven
mills. On the California side of
the river property is assessed at "a
mere nominal value, while on the
Mohave county side property is
assessed at every dollar it will sell
for. And yet people are asked to
a ain support for office the men
that have made this state of things
possible. The driving out of hun
dreds of thousands Of dollars Of
capital ought to be an inducement
to the poor taxpayer who has to
stand the exhorbitant tax to vote
for continuance of this condition.

that the territory embraced in Low

in the southern peninsu'a that is a
fair competitor of the famous big
copper producers Of the world. In
the interior of the territory recently
new fields Of copper have been
found, but owing to isolation and
aridity of the country it may be
years before they can be worked at

Democratic Congressional Candidate

Thursday night Col J. f. vii.
son, who desires to r,present this
territory in the halls of congress,
addressed the voters on what he
t-rmed the issues of the campaign.
The issues injected into the cam.
paign by this noted orator dated
from the birth Of the Christian Era
to the present and on into the dim
future. 1t was commingliug OF
fact and fiction He told the few
people who assembled TO hear him
that he was one of e most earnest
advocates of the working man that
had ever been invented and read
them the platform adopted by the
late democratic territorial conven-
ton in support OF his statement.
He failed to tell them that the past
six legislatures of Arizona had been
overwhelmingly democratic and
that all the measures mentioned in
the platform, such as the black
list, eight-hour law, mine inspector,
boleta and other bills, were turned
down in the last legislature and by
democratic votes. The freights and
fares bill was one of the measures
that was choked black in the face
by a committee Of the democratic
house, and after its strangulation
was buried beneath the debris of all
the other good measures that met
the same fate there. Wilson did
not tell his hearers this story. On
the other hand he tried to arouse
bitter hatred of the employe against
the employer in his statements re-
.lating to organized labor While a
few facts were injected into his har-
rangue the greater part was It's
sue Of falsehood In concluding his
address he referred to the estrange-
.ment Of many members of the dem
,ocratic party in Mohave county
and asked the fellows who had sore
spots to bind them up with the
healing salve of democracy. He
did not state that this is what he
did not do two years ago when he
was honorably defeated by Mark
Smith. The people may have for
gotten this little reminiscence:
Mark Smith went into the County
of Maricopa and after canvass of
some weeks the county convention
met and it developed that he had

Mine Taxation.

The newspapers of Arizona are
not "A unit by any means on the
proposed taxation of the output of
the mines. In connection with this
subject the method Of taxing mines
in other states and territories would
be well considered. In Montana
the surface of the mines and inn
provements are taxed, as are other
property, and then the gross pro-
duct Of the mines is taxed at a
ratio that makes the total assess
ment of the properties an equitable
one. In Minnesota the iron mines
of st. Louis, Itasca and Lake coun-
ties. in the Vermillion and Massaba
! ranges, have been assessed the sum
of thirty millions of dollars. In
these great mines the values lie
from the surface downward and it
requires but quarrying process to
extract the ores. This fact gives
the surface, of the properties the
values assessed against them. Had
the values or ores been beneath the
surface it is doubtful if they could
be assessed in this arbitrary man
ner. The same process obtains in
the Gogebig country Of Michigan.
There the iron mines are situated
in the Gogebig mountain range and
cover vast territory. Their value
ranges away up in the millions and
it is an easy method for the assess
or to get at them for purposes of
taxation. In Houghton county and
the upper Michigan peninsula an
agreement in tn matter Of taxa
ton has been in effect between the
big copper mining companies and
the state t,r many years. These
companies have paid and are now
paying more than sixty millions of
dollars yearly into the county and
state treasures on account Of taxes.
This tax covers more than two
thirds Of the total tax Of the state
1t has been recognized in all these
states that an arbitrary assessment
against the surface of mining
claim is void and in every case has
been so held by the courts, but that
tax on the output is the only just
and fair way Of arriving at an
equitable tax against the big cor
porations. Mohave county has had
IA touch of the arbitrary method of
taxing the surface holdings OF the
miner. The Gem mine, Of about
five acres in extent, has been as
sessed, we believe, at five thousand
dollars. The surface ground of the
mine is no more valuable than any
other mine of equal area in the
county, yet the owner is required
to pay this tax. There is no doubt
that the owner may be required to
pay a nominal tax on the land and
it's Improvements, but the courts
have not been uncertain in deciding
that an arbitrary value placed on
the ground on account Of the values
that may lie beneath the surface
is void. On account OF the ruling
of the court in the Copper Queen
and other cases it becomes the duty
of the next Legislature to pass law
taxing the net product of the mines.
