PROPOSED MINING TAX LAWS
View Taken of the Situation by Able
 Mining Journal.

Mining publications generally are reviewing the efforts made in the Ar izona Legislature to put new taxation on the mining companies of the Ter ritory. Yesterday the Review print ed the comments of Ores and Metals, of Denver. Below is what the Los Angeles Mining Review, one of the best mining journals in the country, and one which has exerted it self par ticularly in behalf of the mining in terests of Arizona has to say on the subject:
 The politicians of Arizona are hun gering and thirsting, not after right eousness, but after tax on the bull lion output of the Territory. Two bills with that object have been intro duced in the Legislature, one by Gen eral Thomas F. Wilson; the other by the Hon. MT. Krueger. It is not nee essary to discuss here the merits of either bill; the stated purpose or botn is to provide more revenue for Terri torial purposes, the only difference IS that the Wilson bill is the more radi- cal of the two in its exactions.
 The only reason we have heard, or read, advanced for the imposition or this tax on bullion from mines, is that Arizona needs the money. That Arizona should seek to increase it's revenues is laudable, because there are numerous ways in which such increased revenue could be used with profit to the Territory. Arizona is growing, and its needs are growing in proportion. Increased taxation in any one direction may therefore be viewed in the light of an investment; the government takes from few to benefit the many. General Wilson estimates that the bullion output of the mines of Arizona for the year 19O4 amounted to $36,000, ,009, which, under the terms of his bill would have yield ed the Territory s1S2,000. Viewed as a mathematical proposition, the problem is: Would this amount of s1S2,OOO (taking it as a yearly aver age) to be clear profit? There is but one answer to that, and it is, No The explanation is: The imposition of a bullion tax will discourage the investment of outside capital in min ing enterprises. A mining property reaches the productive stage, or, as it might be better described, it's bull lion stage, only after the investment of a large amount of money, nor is it an unusual thing for the money in vested to be lost,-because the mine could not, from natural causes, be made productive. Assuming for the moment that the property is brought to the bullion stage; to the point where the bullion returns are suffi cient to meet current expenses, would it, under those circumstances be just would it be good policy, to subject the bullion to a tax? Clearly no. No only would it be unfair, when com pared with other taxes. but it woult be the worst policy that could be en forced.
 Patented mining properties art subject to taxation; apart from tha the only tax that should be imposed upon a mine and its attached proper ties, is a tax upon the dividends i declares, or upon it's net revenues.

Allison, May 25-A case was tried
in the district court Tuesday before
Judge J. F. Clyde in which a great deal
of interest is manifested locally. The
action was brought to GUST the mayor

on the ground that they were not le-
gally appointed.
AT the April session of the city coun-
Gil Mayor G. Hazlet resigned his Of

pointed to fill that position. Mr.. Bur-
roughs had been a councilman and at
the same meeting resigned that posi-
ton and took that of mayor. j. w.
Ray was then appointed as council
man to fill the vacancy. At the next
meeting these officers administered the
oath of office to the two remaining
members of the council.
An action was commenced by res

independence, May GA loss of
nearly 5000 in population in Buchan-
an county is shown by the census re-
turns made by the assessor and just
filed with the county auditor. The re-
port fon this year is made from the
records of the assessors as filed with
the auditor, and 1t may differ slightly
in certain localities, from the corrected
list which will be reported by the ex-
ecutive council later on. All inmates

credited to the counties from which
they came, and any inmates Of the

will be seen that our enumeration will
be slightly increased, when all lists
are corrected by the authorities at Des

count for differences in our population
from one period of enumeration to the
next, few facts in regard to the COM
parative statements may be of inter-
est. DurlnS tHe past leu years, our
own city has reduced it's population
to the number of 34S persons, the
greater part of this loss being re-
corded with the past five years. 226
persons. In ten years, Winthrop,
Fairbank, Hazleton, and Lamont have
all increased considerably, while Jes-
up has about held her own. During
the past five years, however, all towns
| have dropped slightly, with the excep-
ton of Hazleton, which boasts of 513
people, and seems to be on the in
crease. In the toy. -iships, in ten
years, increases are noted in Buffalo,
Byron, Fairbank, Fremont, Hazleton,
Madison. Sumner and Westburg. In
five years there is a decrease in every
township in the county, as will be
seen by reference to the table. TIE
GREATEST increase in five years is re-
corded for Washington township.
The entire population for the county
has decreased nearly 5000 in the past

MAY BECOME TEST CASE.
Novel Grounds For Setting Aside As.
sesment Made BY Board Of Equali-

cation.
Special to Times -hepnb;ican.
Iowa City. May 25.-Novel grounds
were advanced yesterday before the
board of equalization. for setting
aside an increased assessment that
they made this spring on the clothing
stock of Speldell Bros. Attorneys
representing the firm argued that the
assessment had been increased since
May and that the provisions of the
Iowa code made it necessary that the
work of the board of equalization
should be completed by that time.
The exact wording of the code is as
follows: Board shall meet first Mon
day in April! and shall sit from day to
day until it's duties are, done which
shall not be later than the first day of
May" Over fifty other cases have
come UP before the board since that
time and the assessments changed,
Speidel Bros. among the number, but
they have been the first to raise any
objection. The board continued its sit
tings beyond the specified time un-
willingly, since they believed it to
have been the previous custom to con-
tinue the sittings until the work had
been completed to their satisfaction
The matter will probably be taken to
the district court and thence to the
supreme court in order to make it
test case
