TAX BILL

A bullion tax bill has been intro.
duced in the house by Gen. Wilson OF
Tucson. In addition to providing q
tax on all bullion produced in the ter
ritory it provides for the assessment OF
mines and mill sites at not less than
s. an acre, the tax to be estimated at
the same rate as the rate on other
property. It contemplates the taxing
of the gross output of mines, bullion
from ores, tsilings and mineral bear
ing material of whatever character /;
also the gross value of ores or taiIinps
sent out of the territory for reduc-
ton. 1t requires that the management
of mines, smelters, etc., shall furnish
to the assessor on the last day of each
month statement of the product for
that month. In the event of the fail
ure to make such statement within
five days the assessor shall make a per-
sonal investigation and demand per
to examine the records. For
this he shall charge SO for the inspec-
ton and mileage computed at FIVE
cents mile. These charges are to be
added to the tax.
In order that the business of the
mines shall not be impeded by the
operation of the law, owners shall be
allowed to furnish security for the
payment Of the tax and their products
may then be shipped out of the terri
tory. Evasion of the law is to be pun
ished by a fine not less than the taxes
and costs or by imprisonment for not
less than six months and not more
than two years or by both fine and
imprisonment False statements are
to be punished under the penal stat
ute relating to perjury.
