THE BULLION TAX BILL


 Ore and Metals, a mining journal ot prominence. published at Denver has this to say about the bullion tax olli now before the legislature:
 "A storm of protest has been raised ;r Arizons over the proposed bullion tax A bill providing for it having been ,ntroduosd in the territorial legisla- ture. It is pointed out. and with con siderable truth. too, that there are many companies operating at the pres- ant time on gigantic scale which voula be compelled to close down wsrs such a law enforced. Thus. in collecting the tax, the bill would oper- ate in many cases, to close mines which employ @ large number or n en- and tbus strike at the prosperity of the community. As long ss the company bresks even it will continue to operate in the search of larger ore bodies or may snffer A loss to do this, but to pay Q million tax into the bargain would he too much. The idea IS derived 6onbtless. from the Mexican bullion tsx-a collection made at the mint. While just, in that the tax falls on the rich and poor alike, it must be remem- bered that condions are not the same of both sides of the frontier. Workmen may be employed there cheaper than insthis counry-
 "Tbe American demands and ob- tains more, works steadily. produces more, and, of course. the bullion tax would be prcportiona.ely greater here than would be the case there. We hear much from time to time about the taxes that this or that mine should pay, and we hear it, also, from the men employed on that particular mine' perhaps. but were the tax levied it would immediately operate to close the property. Where so many low grade properties are worked as is the case in the United States. the question of taxation must be remembered, ln the.frst place, that every dollar pro- duced is @ dollar added to the wealth of the world without having come in competition with any other industry and wthout having driven any indl- vidual or company to the wall. Min ing adds to proserity without taking mart of it's revenue from some other source-as a matter of fact, it qu1cE- ems othe lines of trade, establishes new communities and extends old or creates new transportation systems. So where the grade of the ore is low. as is the case with many of the large concerns, the question of increasing the revenue of the county or the state, either or bo:h, by levying bullion 7 tax, is very likely to produce exactly the opposite effect, 20 that instead of supplying additional revenue it will give less, and throw upon the commu- nity thousands of idle men. A just law is not, and cannot be objected to, but with the high wage scale in exist ence in the mining sections of the United States-the highest in the world -and the extremely low grade of ores mined and trested-in most cases the lowest grades in the wolrd. it is not to be wondered at that the compaDiees would view such step with alarm"

 As mercury will surely destroy the sense of smell and coclplet5y de range the whole system when enter ing it through the mucuous surfaces Such articles should never be used except on prescriptions from reputa- ble physicians, as the damage they will do is ten fold to the good you can possibly derive from them.
