Effort is Soon to be Made to Tax
the Electric Roads Under the
ad vaIorem System.
TROLLEY LINES WILL FIGHT.
Bill Placing Trolley Roads Under the
Same System of Taxation as the
Steam Roads is Now Ready for
The Legislature.

The street railway taxation ques-
ton will be taken up just as soon as
the railway control bill is clear of the
assembly. At least this is the pro-
gram which is announced now and it
is said that the bills for the chang
ing of the form of taxation Of street
railway and other electric properties
are only being held up at this time
because the administration leaders do
not desire to become entangled with
the railway control proposition. The
hearings on the question of abolish
ing the license system form Of taxa
ton for electric properties will be be-
fore the joint committee on the as
sessment and collection of taxes and
will be extensive, as the street rail-
way and electric light corporations of
the state are anxious to retain the
license fee form of taxation and are
prepared to make hard fight to keep
the law on the statute books which
permits them to pay license fees in
lieu of taxes.
1
show by tables that more taxes are
being collected by municipalities
through the license fee system than
could be collected under any other
system. It will also be the argument
of the street railway and other e1ectri.
cal corporations that they are paying
higher taxes now than are being paid
by other classes of property in the
state. The great argument given by
the electric roads as to why they want
the license fee system maintained is
that with their taxes imposed in that
form they always know just what the
amount of their taxes will be. De-
spite this fight which is to be put uI
by the corporations, the indications
are that the license fee form of taxa.
ton will be abolished as far as cleo.
trio properties are concerned by this
Legislature and that in lieu thereof
an ad va1orem system of taxation fo1
these properties will be adopted.
More and more the sentiment OF
this legislature appears to be crystal.
izing on an ad va1orem system, where
by valuation is to be placed by the
tax commission on the properties OF
all the electric companies in the state,
and then tax levied on this va1ua-
ton.
This plan has been discussed by the
leaders in taxation thought in the
Legislature and they seem agreed that
this is the most feasible method for
meeting the problem. With the rail
way taxation problem practically
cared for, the tax commissioners now
have the time to take up the electric
properties and if the proposed ad va.
loren bill for electric properties be-
comes law, it is said the tax com
missioners will at once begin making
investigations into the value of the
electric properties.
The new bill will probably provide,
as was the case of the railway ad
va1orem bill, that for the first year
that the tax commissioners are p1ac-
ing a valuation on their property
that the license fee system for the
taxation of the electric properties
shall remain in force.

A SUGGESTION.

The modern idea of ch1oroforrning
men at the age of sixty must have
been calculated for another shot al
the old soldiers. Financially it would
be great saving to the country, il
the way of pensions, and a boom in
the undertaking business.

Fahrenheit. There are several advan-
taSes in coming down here In the sum
ner, and a good many people are be-
ginning to find them out. The altitude
IS 1000 feet above the sea, and that
insures cool nights, no matter how
warm the days may be. But the days
are not too warm for comfort; the
thermometer seldom goes above 80;
there is no humidity in the atmos-
phere; and If the sun Is too hot all you
have to do is to raise your umberlla.
There Is occasionally a freak OF
weather The snowstorm in which we
were lost occurred on the Goth Of May,
1899, and it is singular coincidence
that SIMILAR squall should arrive Oh
the very same date this year, with
snow enough to hide the roadway
through the forest. But there Is no
danger Of getting lost now. The trees
have been blaZed on both sides of the
trail, and IL you stick to the railway
cars you are sure to bring up at the
canyon, three hours or so after you
leave the Santa Fee Line at Fort Will
Jams. The snow never lasts more than
a few hours. 1t may fall to depth of
two or three inches during the night
two or three times a year, but as soon
as the sun comes out in the morning 1t
disappears almost instantly.

The Grand Canyon of Arizona is
within government forest reservation
sixty by eighty miles in size. About
two-thirds of it Is on the eastern and
the other third on the western side.
The timber is in fairly good condition.
There was a bad fire two years ago
which ruined several hundred acres of
hne forest, but there Is little danger
OF It's recurrence because Of the vigil
ance Of Captain Fenton, the superin-
tedent and his corps of foresters.
1T Is thirteen miles from one rim of
the canyon to that on the opposite side
ana there are two trails by which the
western side may be reached. one OF
them, the Bright Angel Trail, is oppo-
site the new hotel, and although it is
eighteen or twenty miles to the TOP
the climb is comparatively easy. 1t
follows stream Of clear. pure cold
water which comes tunbling down a
narrow canyon on the western side,
and Major Powell during his first
memorable exploration Of the CANYON
called 1t the Bright Angel River be-
cause it was such grateful discovery.
Captain Fenton says that the coun-
try on the western side of the canyon
is much better than that on the east
ern side; that the timber Is larger and
thicker, water Is more abundant, and
there are great many deer and other
big game. The forest reserve includes
a strip Of thirty miles along the edge
of the canyon, and west Of that, to the
Utah line. the land has been taken up
hv Mormon ranchmen, who have large
