The taxpayers of every portion of the state
are pleased with the attitude of the Legislature
regarding the practice of economy in the conduct
of our state and county affairs. 1t is apparent now
that we have embarked upon an elaborate and ex-

The mines of Arizona are paying
a very large percentage of the taxes
of the state. Whether that percent
age is too great, or whether it is too
small. is not the question aimed at
in this article, but that of courteous
treatment of those engaged in the
business. Their position, if intenable
should be courteeusly opposed, even to
insistence, if necessary. But accusa-
tions of dishonesty assertions of
orders ito beat the taxes, and op-
pose all OUTLAWS for public improve
ments," charges of @insincerity| and
similar expressions, instead of aiding
in the solution of a vexatious problem
will rather retard it through the an
tagonism created. The tax COM
mission is serni5judiciaf in; its nature,
and all whose business calls them be-
fore it should receive the dignifed
and courteous treatment due from
such a body and the same spirit
should find expression in the rulings
and decisions of the tax court. -

( The bill recently introduced in the
lower house of tht legislature by Re
preventative L. F. Vaughn, of this
county, providing for a period of ten
years tax exemption, for all new
railroads built in Arizona, seems to
meet with general approval of citi-

heard is, that. instead of ten years,
the exemption should extend for a
period of fifteen years. Arizona is
in need of a new railroad construc-

of only four states in which no rail-
