OLD DOMINION FIRE.
Critical Condition Exists at Big Cop
per Mine at Globe, Arlz.

Globe hriz., Feb, 2l.--Conditions nj
the Old Dominion mine today are still
critical, Attention Is now directed TO
the lining with canvas of one compart-
ment Of the working shaft to serve as
Il chimney for the escape OF gas COM
ing from the several levels Of the mine.
The guides over the same compasa
ment above the collar OF the shaft have
also been enclosed with canvas, thereby
carrying gases to the top. The men
engaged in this work can remain be-
low only few minutes. and men are
being lowered and raised continually.
The scheme 10 confine gases to one
compartment already Is showing good
results and other comne ments are
con paratively free from SIS.
Pumps on the twelfth level gave out
yesterday afternoon and one of the
Two big pumps ON The tenth level did
the same today.
Efforts VIII be made to reach the
tenth level pump tonight and oil and
regulate the pumps now running and
start the idle pump. AS a result OF
tho failure OF the pumps water has
risen from the fourteenth TO within
30 feet of the twelfth level A great
deal or gas Is coming from the twelfth
level and the management has decid.
ed 20 ALLOW the water to rise above this
level IN order to shut Off the gas.
Two bailers Of 1000 gallons a min
ute capacity are hosting water. and a
third Is In readiness 20 use when need

All the men IN the mine when the
fire broke out escaped. and the three
dead men were suffocated while trying

Miners showed great heroism In fight

BETTER TAXING METHODS.

A discussion has arisen In certain
quarters in the East, on the best forms
os taxation. The old systems have
proved oppressive on the poor or those
of moderate means. and at the same
time they do not catch the rich. Con-
trary to the seInng principle which
lets the little fish go and saves only the
big ones, the old styles of taxation,
such as we have in Utah for instance,
in the ordinary assessments. holds all
the little fellows and takes In all the
visible property; but whoever has vast
wealth In intangible property or in In
terests not readily srasped. escapes
largely his due proportion OF the public
burden, John Stuart Mirs maxim
Of where he says: Equality of taxa
ton. as a maxim Of politics, means
equality OF sacrifice ii means the ap-
portionins of the contribution of each
person toward the expenses of the gov
eminent, so that he shall feel neither
more nor less inconvenience from his
share Of the payment than every other
person experiences from his"
To the end that this ideal may in a
degree be approached, dt is quite I'M
possible that 1t could ever be fully
rcached,) Mr.. Wayne MacVeagh argues
in the June North American Review in
favor of a progressive inheritance or
succession tax. He shows that such
a tax was imposed by the National
Government as part OF the war taxes
of 1898. and 1t provided part of the
country's revenue until the repeal OF
the war taxes. That tax was resisted
by the wealthy men OF the country, of
course. who exhibit singular stupid
ity In resisting every attempt to impose
upon them their proper share of the
public burdens" They had succeeded
In annulling the income tax law, and
hoped by parity Of reasoning to an
nul the inheritance tax. But the u. S.
Supreme Court affirmed the validity of
the tax, In a powerful opinion, 1t is
difficult to see why this opinion is not
quite as applicable In the case OF an
income tax. as 1t emphasizes the fact
tndt taxes imposed WIN ItleISlCc W
the ability of the person OH whom the
burden is placed to bear the same have
been levied from the foundation of the
Government" And Justice White. who
delivered the opinion of the court. held
that the question Of the propriety OF
levying q progressive tax is legislative
and not judicial.
1t may with reason be urged that
an inheritance tax is quito as much a
direct tax as Is an income tax And
yet, this progressive Inheritance tax
was pronounced constitutional. while
the income tax of 1894 was pronounced
unconstitutional on the ground that 1t
was a form of direct taxation. No
wonder Mr.. MacVeagh suggests that
when the question of an income tax Is
again presented TO the u. S. Supreme
Court, the same will be upheld. In
deed, In view OF the language of JUS
tice White in rendering the inheritance
tax decision, II is hard to imagine how
the court could avoid the upholding
oil the income tax
