The communication of a Globe busi- ness man concerning the proposed law giving Arizona railroad commission, in another column of this paper, con tains many truths, but we do not believe that the supreme court of the United States would uphold the constitution ality of such creation, inasmuch as Arizona is a territory, not state. The interstate commerce commission is su- preme, we believe, in territories and the District of Columbia, and has absolute power over railroads and their regula- tion. Complaints as to exorbitant tar ifs, we believe, should be called to the attention of the commission, which has already done much good for other sec tions of the country, where the freight rates cannot begin to compare with those in Arizona.
Daily Arizona silver belt., 1907-02-17
CREATION
 OF RAILWAY COMMISSION

J. S. Miles, the Globe business man, who recently returned from Phoenix in behalf of the movement to create a territorial railway commission, submits the following interesting argument in favor of the o 'Neill bill:
 To the Editor of the Silver Belt:
 Dear Sir; The proposed law creating a territorial railroad commission has passed the house of representatives, in which it was introduced, and the mea- sure is now before the council for adop- tion. If it passes the upper body there is hardly doubt that it will receive the governors signature, as it should. It proposes to regulate the railroad rates and those of express companies doing business in Arizona.
 1t is really remarkable that this bill was not among the very first intro dueed at the present session, since there is no part of the territory traverstd by railroads tfat dpes not suffer from the present intolerable exactions of these corporations. The passaae of ti,.'- i---- redgeing passenger fares to cents per mile gives evidence of this prevailing sentiment, but why attempt to stop up the bunghole when you have knocked the head out of the barrel9 Where the railroads get one dollar from excessive passenger tariffs they get ten from ex- orbitant freight rates. And no com munity of people in Arizona should know this better than this selfsame bail iwiek of Globe.
 But there is broader side of the question than the one of the burden imposed upon the present population of Arizona-one that concerns deeply the future of this coming great common wealth, and this is the fact that the present excessive rates foy shipping re- tard the settlement of our unoccupied but tillable public domain. It has been said that the present short-Naul freight rates in Arizona prohibit the shipment of farm produce at distance to mar ket greater than one hundred miles in competition with California produce. In >other words, for illustration, the Golden State farmer can ship his stuff

the number of survey or the name of the lode or claim, and the name of the mining district, shall be sufficient de- scription for purposes of assessment and taxation of mining property.

The taxes provided to be levied and collected upon productive mines and mining claims in accordance with the provisions of this act shall be in full and in lieu of all other taxes upon such mine or mines, and any mill, mining machinery, smelting plants, re- duction works, water supply, tramways, appliances, fixtures, supplies and mate rials used exclusively in or used in connection with the extraction, reduc- tion, treatment or the handling of the product of such mines; and. no other, different or further tax for territorial or county purposes shall be levied or collected upon the same, provided, that any surface ground of such mine which may be used exclusively for other pur poses, shall be taxed, in addition to the tax herein provided, according to its value for such other purposes, and pro vided further, that any plant, mill, min ing machinery, shelter, reduction works, fixtures or appliances owned or omr ated in connection with such mines and used in part for the reduction and treatment of the products thereof and part for the reduction and treatment of custom product or product from other mines, shall be valued as other property, and the assessable value thereof shall be fixed at the same pro portion to its total cash value, as the value of its custom product treated dur ing the said preceding year bears to the total value of products treated dur ing said year.

MINE TAX BILL
 WHICH PASSED
Text of Bill Which Carried in the Council for the Purpose of Taxing Mines According to Their Output On 25 per Cent of Preceding Year.

The mine tax bill introduced by Wee din of Pinal county and which was passed by the council Friday follows generally the lines of the Doran bill though it frequently departs from it in important particulars. It provides for a tax on the output of productive mines those whose output is as much as $2, 800 The percentage of the output to be as sessed is twenty-five instead of twenty. The assessment is made in a different manner and leaves the work of the assessor without review by any officer or board, though the mine owner may appeal to the courts.
 The following is the text of the bill; Be It Enacted by the Legislative As
 sembly of the Territory of Arizona:
 Section l. The word "person" as used in this act shall include and be
