The action of Governor Kibbey in insisting upon and inducing the board of equalization to in crease mine assessments of the territory cannot but be com mended by every citizen who would like to see d square deal.

Whihe 1t is fact that the action of the board may work 8 hardship upon many 0wuers of patented, but Undevel~ oped or non-pr9ducing mines. stFll tke inequalities cannot pos sibly be greater than those pre- sen$ed under tfe assessments cOmmOnAy returned by the coun- ty assessor. The motives of the. Governor are to- be appla0ded, because of the desire to coFrect the evident unfairness of the present system oE taxation. The agitation of the question. and the firm stand taken by the gov ernor; will most likely result in the passing of a law by the next legislature which will be just to all ln a system of taxation based upon the value of mines as indicated by thelr output.
