MINING MEN LIBERAL
Arizona Republican,

h all probability a way has been found 10 avoid the controversies which have recurred annually for some years between the mining com. panlss and the taxing authorities. The difhcultics of fixing valuation on mine properties for purposes of taxa ton have been experienced in every state where mining is an industry. No satisfactory plan has ever yet been devised and in the nature of things none ever will be found to be entirely satisfactory. The plan offered by the mine owners to the tax commission appears liberal in comparison with the proposals made in earlier years and exceedingly liberal when we remem, Der the methods of taxation a few years ago. IL will certainly yield the state a much larger revenue from the mines than was ever received before and more, we believe. than any state now receives from q similar source. The happy situation promising CO., operation between the mine owners and the state officials has been brought about by the fair-mindedness of Captain John C. Greenway of the C. & A. and other mining representa- ties.

TAXING MINES
tArizona Democrat

One of the most difficult problems that have confronted the taxing pow CTS of all states, is to devise meth cd of taxing mines and mining prop erty that will do justice both to the state and the mines. The proposition to have mines taxed by the various boards of supervisors Of the state Is highly improper and results in several different valuations being placed upon property. Arizona, we believe, is on the right track--a commission, an in telligent, careful commission, with desire to deal justly with all parties concerned IS undoubtedly the true sys- tenn. Arizona having such a commis- sion now. we trust that our legisla- ture will enact such laws as will give this commission authority to make as- sessments according to it's ideas of justice While more or less fault has been found with mining companies for resisting the assessments placed upon their property. yet it must be conceded that they are not wholly to blame No corporation or individual will consent to pay in taxes what t deems exorhitant-that is human na- ture. The iArizonas corposations, as a rule are law-abiding and fair in both dealing with their employees and the states and we tyHst that the meeting of tae tax commission and the repre- sentatives of the various corporations win result in the enactment of a law that will forever put stop to litiga- ton and misunderstanding between the people and the mining companies.

HOW TO VOTE ON REFERENDUM MEASURES.

There seems to be some doubt in the minds of some of the voters as to how they shall cross their ballots to make effective their desire concern ing the referendum measures. Each If these measures will appear on the ballot by number with squares desig- hated as Yes Or No" on each. These numbers and squares will ap- pear opposite the question to be voted cn which is briefly stated on the bal lot.
 If your desire is to uphold the sub, mitted proposition and the legislature n reforming or enacting the law the voter will make a cross in the square marked Yes. If he opposes the meas. ure submitted by the legislature or mi tiative petition he will put a cross in the square marked No.
 On all the referendum petitions a Yes vote upholds the laws to be voted on while No" vote is to have them defeated.
 We believe the ballot will be found sufficiently plain to give the voter a correct idea how to make known his desire though We have given the above explanation for those who might be in doubt when they reach the vot- ing booth.
