GOVERNOR KI55EY AND THE NEW MINE TEx LAW.
TAX LAW.

tFsA LAW
 The Arizona Gazette, the organ of the territorial republican administra ton and the special organ of the gov ernor, is exhibiting much nerve recent ly in it's efforts to make the people of Arizona believe things which are not in regard to the history of the new law passed by the last legislature for the assessment of mining property of the territory The Gazette is making the ridiculous claim that Governor Kibbey Is entitled to credit for this new law which has placed additional mining property on the assessment roll to the amount of about se,OOo 900. which was never there before.
 The consideration of the new mine tax law in the legislature two years ago attracted widespread attention be- cause of the arbitrary action of the territorial board of equalization pre- viously in raising the valuation of min ing property in the territory without regard to it's worth. The action of the. territorial board resulted in a most unequal and unjust valuation on the mining property of this county. The biard sought to increase the valuation of mining property owned by the Cop per Queen and the Calumet and Ari- zona companies, and to accomplish this they put a raise on all mining claims of the county of FIFTEEN HUNDRED per cent. The increase of the valuation of mining property in this county by this horizontal increase amounted to a great deal more on the non-produclng mines of the county than 1t did on the property owned by the companies who were producing copper.
 Because of this action Of the terri torial. board of equalization. directed by the governor and attorney general of the territory, we say that the legis- lation changing the system of assess ing mining property in Arizona attract ed very wide attention, as the miners in every district were anxious to know whether there was to be an equitable law which would prevent arbitrary confscation of their property.
 What was known as the Doran mine tax law was introduced in the legisla- tive council; Hon. Tom Weeden, a democratic member from Pinal county had introduced a bill, but after the Doran bill was introduced the Weeden measure was withdrawn. The Doran bill, as it passed the council, provided for the assessment of % per cent of the gross output of producing mines in the territory. When this bill reached the house there was strenuous argu- ment both in favor of and opposed to the measure. The governor, who's organ is nov claiming credit for him on account of the benefits of the meas ure, was violently opposed to it. There was a joint meeting of the committees on mines of the house and council to which everybody supposed to have any interest in the proposed bill were in- yited. At that meeting both Governor Kibbey and Attorney General Clark opposed the Doran bill both in prin' cipIe and in detail Representatives of several mining companies appeared before that committee meeting and
 pointed out that all the mining com panies desired was a measure which

It is pretty generally understood that Colonel Sturges has already got his rope on the governorship should Taft be elected and the statehood bill fail of passage next winter. This be- ing the case the honor of being the republican candidate for congress in Arizona will be more empty than ever before
