vICTORY FOR THE PEOPLE.

Hon. William Maxwell's mining tax
bill, as finally agreed upon by all par
ties to the contest that has been waged
in the legislature during the past two
weeks. was q distinct victory for the
administration of Governor Richards
and the people Of the state.
In many respects the last bill was a
decided improvement owe the one in
troduced early in the session. The first
bill levied q tax at so much per ton
upon the gross output, while the bill
agreed upon levies the same tax upon
the gross output, less the cost of pro-
duction, that Is now levied upon the
other property of the state. In other
words. the coal, the iron and precious
metals in the ground are taxed when
mined at their gross value minus the
expense of bringing them to the sur,
face. Under such a valuation 1t cannot
be said . tax is placed upon the sweat
from the brow Of labor and there will
be no Ecu to place the tax burden
upon the laborer in the mines.
Under the new bill. as amended. the
state board Of equalization is required
at least ten days before the day fixed
for the assessment of the gross pro-
duct, in tons OF gallons as the case
may be, of all mines or mining claims
from which gold, silver and other pre-
cious metals. soda, saline. coal, miner
al oil, or other valuable deposit is pro
duced. This will leave the absolute
power in the state board to fix the val
ne of the mineral products and II they
do not act in An equitable manner they
will of corse be accountable to the
people Of the state. The levy will be
the same as that placed upon the prop
erty Of the state in general, averaging
probably 2 per cent This will raise a
revenue Of perhaps $4,000 per annum,
and this will go on increasing as the
mineral wealth Of the state is develop
ed.
In the fight just ended the victory is
of great value because OF the principle
at stake. Although the constitutional
convention laid down the rule to tax
the mines of the state upon their
gross output, this has been the first
legislature through which it has been
possible to pass a bill complying with
the constitutional provision. The prin-
ciple having been once established will
endure for all time.
Throughout the contest there has
been good feeling on both sides.
There have been no examinations or
determinations and no bad taste is
left in the mouths of the administration
adherents or their adversaries.
In addition to the commentator due
the governor for the stanch manner in
which he hewed squarely to the line,
The Republican believes the members
OF the legislature from this county
are worthy Of the praise of their con-
stituents for the manner in which they
adhered to principle. From first to
last they were discreet. parliament
tary, aggressive and courteous, and
they won success Mr.. Maxwell is be-
ing congratulated upon all sides.
A new principle has been establish
ed in this state and a long stride has
Deer taken In the right direction.

THIRD INDUSTRIAL CONVENTION.

Secretary Coutant has undertaken
to five hundred OF the leading men in
all lines of business in the state to Sc
cure their help in making the Sheri-
dan convention a success. This work
was undertaken two days after the ad-
journment of the late convention and
already a large number OF letters have
beer sent cut and in some instances
have been received. All Of
these replies show that the writer's
are taking a deep interest in the work
of the Industrial Convention and the
perusal Of a few Of them convinces
us that the third meeting bids fair to
be the one great event in the history
OF our state. The following letter is a
fair illustration of the sentiment con-
tanned in all the replies which the sec
rotary has received. 1t will abundant
ly repay a careful reading:
Laramie, Wyo.. Feb. is. 1903.
Hon. C. G. Coutant, Cheyenne. Wyo.
Friend Coutant: | have your letter
of recent date notifying me of my ap.
pointment al a member of the state
committee to assist in carrying on the
work necessary to make the third an.
nual session Of the Wyoming Indus.
trial Convention a success.

thing could be passed around. But
assure you hat | will act in conjunc.
ton with Mr.. Chaplin and other mem
bers OF the committee to make the con
~vention that is to assemble at Sheri,
dan in October next, a great success.
l trust that the people of the south
ern and central part of this state will
enter into the spirit of the convention
work heartily.
l believe that there are great posi-.
bilities for the accumulation of many
snug fortunes In Wyoming.
National assistance in the matter of
storing the waters in Wyoming, that
otherwise would run to waste, will Sc.
cure the reclamation of lands sufici.
ent for thousands of homes. When
the home seekers and others with
money to invest know Wyoming as
thost who are here know it they will
have the same waith in its possible de,
velopment that all men have, who have
pinned their faith to this part of the
Rocky Mountain country and have had
energy and pluck to stay with it.
l am pleased to know that the sew
enth assembly has made an appropria-
ton for the purpose of assuring a Wy
oming exhibit at the worlds fair to be
held in st. Louis in 1904.
wish the appropriation was larger.
Wyoming is now at a stage of certain
development that justiies our people
in letting the world know what this
part of the country promises, and what
We believe is in store for all who are
willing to assist with their labor or
their money in developing the latent
resources of this state. I remain,
