 Concerning Council bill No. lj. in. 'roduccd by Councilman Doran of this county, against the passage of which Inc supervisors of this county recently passed a resolution, Attorney Henry r. Andrews, member of thc Council from this county in the Legislature of lg0l and author of the Andrews act, relating io mine asscssmcuts, which was cmhod icd in the Revised Statutes of that year. when seen yesterday by Journal Miner man, said:
 "Thcro i~ no question hut what thc act annuls and has thc effect of an cN press repeal of those provisions iu fhe| Revised Statutes of Arizona. 1901. and generally known as inc Andrews uct. SO far as the taxation of mines, mining claims of improvement thereon arcI concerned.
 "l'y the provisions of this Act No. ij, the mining companios accomplish The very thing they havc been trying to do at every session of the Lcgi.la turc since the Andrews act took effect With that act ont of the way they will care but little what sort of . revenue act is provided for, as they can get the matter into court and in duc course of time settle at any .um that suits them.
 ''I will not attempt to aualvzo thisI ac' to show you ibc inconsistencies of it, or from my point of view how suo. ccssfully thc bill provides how no, to do.
 "Thc present law defining the duties of the Territorial board of equalization might bc amended, giving ii power fol take up the matter of the fixing of inc values of mines. in eases where the county boards had not made n proper valuation. giving the Territorial board the same power in relation io mines tha, the county boards now have; the same power the Territorial board now has in relation to railroads. fixing the time for the Territorial boards final action on all matters after the county board has met ana passed on valua tions. The time given the Territorial board should bc ample, that they can pass on matters intclligcntly and justly.
 "In my opinion. it is far better for the people that there should be no change in the present law than thnt any such measure as this or any other measure changing the present mode of taxation so far ns mines are concerned, than to pass some measure that is not plain and frcc~rom any and all am biguiiics.
 ''I started to draw bill making provisions for the taxation of the pro- duet of mines and mining claims, but to draw such hill would require more time than 1 have at my disposal. II would not be much of job to provide n taxation of the output of mines based upon their receipts. but it would also want to make provisions for the taxa. tion of the product of mines where the parties should see ft to store ar to hold the product, for an indefinite length of time; in tha, event it should bc treated the same ns n merchant x stock of goods. that is to say. it should pay an annual tax until it Is sold. or some provision should be made fixing | ifs asscssahle value. and taxes paid on it before leaving the Territory, in which event the receipt or the money which is received from the sale of such produc, after having been stored
