 ~ D'''".e oi'i' In transmitting his
 'pP'oVai the governor sent inc fouou
 ing message:
 VI need hardly rcitera,e ,b,, ,o
 'on"lly do not approve of the hin in
 pf'nc'plc nor in all its details
 Public sentiment demanded of ,hi.
 "'e's'ature some legislation provilin, TUT 'he assessment of mining pro,o,,v a' more nearly it's value than has hoon 'nc practice for more than ,won,, years past. If this law will accomn,;sh what is claimed by it's advocates and as must assume the Legislature bc. ''eves that it will, then n sten bas ,oon 'ake" toward the carrying out of the w'shcs Of the people But whether i, o' 'ohg step, or whether |, fully sat. ''"cs thc people, and particularly whether 1t meets my views or not, orc not to be considered, because of the 'ae'' made apparent by the passage of 'h's bill by more than twoibirIs vo,c o' each House, that no diGcrcn, Icp. 's'a'ion concerning taxation of mine property will pass at this session. and because our present law is. as I hayo pointed out to you in former mes. sage. So defective ns to bc incTce,ivc Tor the purpose of taxing mining prop crty.
 The bill as passed provides for '"'""uon 2o per cent higher than was provided for by the original bin. ,o which ] stated my objections, and in nearly every other csscnial feature has been materially altered and improved.
 "Thc new law is m evidence of n distinct approval of the efforts made within the last two years Co increase the assessment of producing mines, and is n concession to public opinion. Two years ago all mines in the Territory. with all their improvements, were upon | Inc tax rolls for si,5OO,0OO. They arc now on the tax rolls for approximately | sli,OOO,0O0, and if there shall be m honest compliance with the provisions If this law the assessments this year 'hould exceed $20,OO0,OOO.
 "For these reasons l have deemed it ny duty to sign the bill."
 The governor otherwise communi. ated with the Legislature by informing hem of his approval of eight other ills, as follows:
 The Doran bill, relating to the in. 'cstmcnt of 90 per cent of the sales of mining stock in actual mine develop. ncni; the bin extending the corporate imits of towns and cities; refusal or cvocaiion of saloon license by super. isors; raising 'hc salary of the public Samincr; procedure in taking bail; alidaiing Globe city incorporation; uplicatc receipts to be issued by treas. rcrs, and for the adoption of the Cliff on foundlings
 The session of the House was largely cvo'cd to educational affairs. The en. Ire Yavapai delegation, anticipating he desires of the Monday Club of 'rcscott, took occasion early in the day D take up the Juvenile court hill. pass | by the Council, and the bill was uickly passed and is now in the hands the governor.
 Burke offered a new bill authorizing cromc to enlarge its public school dis -ict.
 Late in the afternoon the House con lrred in the Council amendment rais' ,g the salary of Mahoney, superintcnd- nt of the Benson reform school. 10 , ,5OO. Several other minor bills were nsscd. The Council, early in the day, in postponed the Cleaveland ailroad commission bill, an exact iplicate of the Crenshaw bill in the Ousc. Bills passed by the Council today ere;
 Goods in warehouse storage to be held IT storage; providing deputies for ,unty treasurer; the Burke bill, af' cting building and loan associations, Id the bin increasing supervisors sal 'ies.
