as the inevitable result of that fate fu blunder. Another illustration in point is seen in the so-called Sumner civil rights act, which, although an nulled in all the states by the supreme court. is still ostensibly in force and effect in the seat of the national gov ernment over which the congress tex ercises exclusive legislation in all mat ters whatsoever. But the same polit- ical party that found it necessary to take the ballot from this community in order to get rid of the negro vote saw that an attempt to enforce the civil rights law here would be extremely mis- chievous. Therefore, the unwritten null. lifes the written law. In the election of presidents we have cunningly baked the intent of the fathers that the elect ors chosen by the several states should actually make their own choice. There is no direct violation of the fundamen tai law in this cunning evasion, but il is just as much defeat of intent as if it directly violated the constitution Washington Post.

Are the Mines to Escape Taxation?

Editor Silver Belt:
 The United States revised statutes constituting the organic law of Arizona islatm'es of the territories of the Unit. ed States, now oi hereafter to be or. ganize,l, shall not pass local or special laws in any of the following enumer- ated cases, that il to say: For the as sessmelt and collection of taxes for ter. ritoria, county, township or road pur- poses. In all other cases where gen eral law can be made applicable, no special law shall ht enacted in any of the territories of the United States by the territorial legislature thereof.
 The Doran Act is special act passed by this legislature, approved by the governor, placing .nines in a class by themselves and apart from all other As loIg as a general law, which will assess all classes of property, real es- tate, personal property of all kinds, mines and mining machinery, can be made applicable, will not the courts de, clare the Doran Att, as it places mines in a separate class, void! Would it not be a good idea for the board of super. visors, or some person, to institute in. junction proceedings against the asses sor, to prevent him from assessing the mines under the DOran Act and have the case decided by the supreme court at its next session, which will be in a few days! Then if the court decides the act void the assessor will have am the old law. Should the assessment be made under the Doran Act. and, when taxpaying time arrives, the attorneys for the mines apply for an injunc tion against the collection of these taxes and q decision be rendered against the Do. ran Act, it would then be too late to remedy the evil. Even if the supreme court of the territory should decide the Doran Act legal the mine owners are liable to take an appeal to the supreme court of the United States, where the matter would peacefully slumber for the next three years, then finally be decided against the territory. The ter. ritory and counties can lilly afford to do without the revenue that the mining industry, which is the most prolific in the territory. can we'll afford to con tribute to their support. The mines have been favored long enough. Now, that they are producing immense for tunes for their owners, they ought to be compelled to contribute just part of the necessary county and territorial revenues. II. X.
