 After an interesting discussion of the matters in hand, the fol- lowing resolutions were adopted:
 Express and Electric Companies
 Whereas, under the existing statutes of the territory the assess rnent of all express, telegraph and telephone companies are removed from the jurisdiction of the assess ors of the several counties and cities of the territory and in lieu of all taxes of whatsoever nature they are permitted to pay into the territorial treasury the sum of one per cent of their gross earnings, no part Of which sum is returned to any of the counties or cities in which aforesaid companies opp crate, and
 Whereas, the aforesai' ~~e per cent is grossly inadequate and represents only small part of the sum they would be required to pay were they taxed as other property, and
 Whereas, under our form of government there can exist no just reason why one individual company or corporation should be so favored, therefore be 1t
 Resolved, by this association, all members concurring, that we do earnestly and insistently pro- test against this great injustice, and that we do hereby petition our next legislature to change this law so that the aforementioned lines of business will bear the burdens of taxation the same as other classes of property and as

Railroad Taxation

Whereas, this association after mature deliberation and careful Consideration has ascertained that the relative assessed value of rail road property in the territory of Arizona as compared with other roperty, is not proportionate, and therefore discriminating; and
 Whereas, it appears from the record that the main line of our principal railway system is as- sessed on a valuation of S22, 500 per mile in the state of California and the same line in Arizona IS assessed on a valuation of sI5, 1000 per mile, though identical in con struction with the California DOT ton of aforesaid line; and
 Whereas, no just reason exists why such a condition should ob- tain, therefore be it
 Resolved, by this Assessors As sociation, that this condition of affairs be respectfully placed be- fore the next meeting of the terri torial board of equalization for their careful consideration and to that end copy hereof is trans mitted to the Hon. G. A. Mauk, chairman of aforesaid board.
The Coconino sun., 1911-02-03
Mine Taxation

Whereas, under the existing statutes producing mines and mining claims are taxed upon a percentum of a5 per cent of the annual gross production of said mines and mining claims, and
 Whereas, it is the judgment of the association of assessors that 25 per cent of the gross produc- ton of mines does not bear its just proportion to other classes of property within the territory and that 40 per cent of the gross pro- duction is more equitable pro portion, be it therefore
 Resolved, that this Association do recommend that proper amend ments be made to present existing laws, in keeping with this recom- mendation. Be it further
 Resolved, that a copy of this resolution be spread upon the minutes of the organization and a copy thereof be transmitted to the chairman of the board oi equaliza- ton and the governor.
