ADJUSTMENTS.
at he Yankee Consul"

The two acts of the musical comedy
presented yesterday at the Jefferson were
laid in Puerto Plata, San Domingo, to
which port gay New Yorker has been
sent to get him out of New York and to
serve as consul. He falls in love with
a widow, and his love affair and the love
affairs of the governor of the provine,
and an occasional revolution are the
staple of the plot, such as it is.
The plot is pretty slim, and the comedy
as a whole is off the same piece. Ray
mond Hitchcock is no longer the blase
representative of Uncle Sam at Puerto
Plata. Mr.. Short now plays the part,
and he is not Mr. Hitchcock, although in
the song What a Difference Just a
Few Hours Make" he scored a hit.
Margaret Flaom plays the wealthy
widow with no little cleyerness. Her char
acter acting is provoking. But the
chorus is not a beauty show and the
fact that the play is in its third season is
made plain in the scenery mad stage set
tings. The costumes are however, clever.
but the play as a whole is not as spicy
and breezy as 1t was on its first sea-
son. 1t seems to be the common fate of
musical comedies to deteriorate rapidly.
Few, indeed, last as long as The
Yankee Consul has, and there are some
who think the entire musical comedy bus
mess is in a declining condition.

No doubt the picked team of girls from

their life last Friday afternoon when they
so completely outclassed the five" rep

it looks as II the High school girls might
have been excited, but they may be ex-
cused for carrying the thing so far on
the grounds that they were playing the
first game outside of the Ieague, and were
naturally anxious to win. The work of
the High school team was fast and ac-
curate, and although considerably smaller
they easily outplayed their opponents.
The game was played on the High
school gymnasium floor and a large crowd
of yelling classmates were on hand to
support their team.

New York, March s.-The Flnancier
says:
- Last weeks official statement of the
New York Associated Banks showed a
greater loss of cash than was generally
estimated upon the basis of the traceable
movements of money during the week.
This loss of cash was, however, largely
offset so far as its effect upon the sur
plus reserves was concerned by reduc-
ton in reserve requirements, cHleiiy
through an important decrease in, de-
posts, so that the surplus recorded was a
fairly substantial amount The loss OF
4 cash was &c. 442, 600. while the estimate in
\ Dictated a decrease of about one ana
three-quarter millions. The discrepancy
a between the officially reported losses and
'uhat which was estimated can be account
ed for by the fact that there were large
remittances to Washington during the
week through the New York banks OF
lawful money. for those of their CORE
spondents which were retiring circula-
tion under the new law, such retirements
involving the substitution of lawful
money for the bonds that were
pledged to secure circulation, and which
were withdraw WIN from the custody of the
treasurer. Deposits were reduced by SS,-

the sum of the decrease in cash and OF

Howard Is, WoodIawn 8.

Coach Lee Garvin led his young How
ards colts out yesterday afternoon to
trot them around the diamond on the
college campus at the expense of the
Woodawn aggregation of baseballers, and
what they did was a plenty. The game,
while merely one for the sake of prac-
tice, made evident the fact that Garvin
has been putting the boys through. The
practice they have been going through
has brought the Howard college boys
out perceptibly as was shown by their
general team work yesterday afternoon.
The play was of fast order and the
fact that only two errors are charged
against them indicates accurate work.
The final score was Howard 49, Wood

MINE TAXATION.

upon the statute book of Ari- zona a measure which aims at an equitable adjustment of the burning question of mine taxation. The Doran bill, which passed the Council some time ago, and was amended by the House last week, with the amendments accepted by the Council, went to the Governor, and on Monday the measure re- ceived executive approval.
 In transmitting a message no- tifying the legislature that he had approved the bill Governor Kib- bey reiterated his objections to the measure, but stated that he ac- quiesced in its becoming the law as being very clearly the best can be accomplished at this time. Which was and is a very clear statement of the actual condition. There has been a strong and grow ing demand from the people that the present legislature should do something toward lifting from the people some of the burdens of gov ernment and placing them upon the producing mines, which latter have consistently evaded paying anything except the very smallest share possible of what they should pay. In the Doran bill as amend ed the legislature has given all that can be secured at this time. To have rejected that measure be- cause it does not go far enough in taxing the product of mines would be the height of folly. It is a great advance to esta blish in the law the principle of taxing the product, which principle Is that adopted and in effect in all the in- ter mountain mining states of the American union.
 The main objection to the new law is that there shall be assessed for taxation but 224% of the gross value of the product of any mine, when all other property IS asses sed at its full cash value. That Is an objection, but it should not be considered vital. Future legisla- tion can be invoked to remedy that feature, and it will be so in- voked eventually.
 Another objection raised is that the very feature noted above Is un- constitutional, and will be over turned by the courts as such. The point raised is tha: while the or ganic act stipulates that all taxa tion shall be equal and uniform, and all other property is required by the statute to be assessed at it's full cash value, this statute pro- vides a mode of assessment that is not equal and uniform in its oper- ation. Very likely that is true. But the same point could be urged, successfully, no doubt, against that
The oasis., 1907-03-16

ty dollars, or fixes the assessment of railway at eleven thousand dollars per mile, when the stock and bonds representing q mile of road sell in open market, during times of panic, at forty thousand dollars or more. No one has in- voked the question of the constitu- tionality of either of those modes of assessment; and no one will in- yoke the same question with re- gard to the Doran act. The min ing companies will not invoke it., because were they to do so there would be danger of Congress enact- ing a bill far more drastic, or cleo ton two years hence of legisla- ture which would enact law to which that objection could not be raised. No one else will go into the courts and invoke the consti- tutional question involved.
 In commenting upon the new act the Tucson Star suggests an idea that if practical will settle the whole question right now; and that is for assessors and county boards of equalization to reduce assess ments on all other properties ex- cept mining and railway properties to 259o of their actual cash value. Then with all assessments in the territory made upon that basis the tax rate would be adjusted to cov- CT all, and the producing mines and railways would bear their just proportion of the burden of sup porting government.
 It is victory for the people to have even the Doran bill become a law. No great victory for the peo- pie was ever won all at once. It is only by successive stages that reform legislation is secured. In his message of approval Governor Kibbey points to the fact that while the assessment of producing mines in Arizona in 1906 was only $4, 100000 the new law will raise their assessment to $14, 100000 or more; ;,,and that by the time the Twenty-ffth legislative assembly convenes the total assessmentupon such property will be fully twenty millions. That is much to accom- plish at one time.
