THINK IT OVER
s. y 49,

The weekly newspaper promotes the interests
of the town in which it is published to such an
extent that it becomes impossible to place an es-
innate upon it's worth There is no enterprise
that does so much for the corporation or the IN
dividual citizen as the paper. 1t stands opposed
20 the town knocker, the town kicker, the town
fanatic and the town drones. 1t stands tor action
as AGAINST dry rot 1t stands for progress as
AGAINST stagnation It is ever ready to combat
the schemes of Missionaries and ready to aid the
constructive plans of the wise and level-headed
citizens 1t is for the upbuilding OF the comnlun-
~. The paper has not yet come into It's own
however, because it is never appreciated to the
extent of its worth by the people at large. Yet
when battles are to be fought for town or county
a rush is made to the newspaper office always to
find the loyal editor ready, frequently without
hope or reward Many other enterprises are en-
couraged by bonus, but rarely is the newspaper
offered anv such help and still more often not
given the support it is entitled to. Communities
Frequently lose sight of their real benefactoT when
they fail to recognize the weekly journal as such
The editor and his paper stand as the bulwarks
of defense against the attacks of evil or designing
schemes affecting the good of the individual or the
town For these and other reasons the newSpa-
oers of the town and county should receive the
support of the public at large in avery liberal de-
gree, for it is really the most important business
enterprise Of the community.

MINE TAX PROBLEM ATTACKED IN BILL
BY SENATOR BACON
TenYear Prevailing New York
Used in Assessing Under New Law
BILL DEFINES ACTUAL COST"
Prepares Fight Constitutional Amendment CURLING
to Veto Peoples Measures-Pension Laws Up.

except in the provision making it a
perennial instead of biennial agree
ment. The bill defines and simpli-
which figures SO much in determin-
ing the net, in this wise: "The actu-
al cost shall include all expenditures
made in connection with mining OPP
|erations, transportation and. reduction
|of ores or other mineral products
treated or sold, and all expenditures
for. freight, refining and selling of the
constituents of commercial value
therein contained .
Under the old law the production
of any year was made the basis for
taxation the following year. Section
z of the bill changes that in this re-
spect: ANY and all ores or other
mineral products mined on and after
the first day of January, 1914, and
not sold or treated in the same cal
endar year as mined, shall not e
subject to taxation, but the gross and
met proceeds of said ores or other
mineral products shall be included
in the returns to the tax commits
sion in valuing for taxation, the
mines and mining claims from which
said ores or other mineral products
were taken"
The bill makes no vital change in
the machinery for the collection of
the tax and apparently does not diff
fer from the old law in any impors
tant particular except in that it con-
tains an emergency clause.
1t is understood that the bill will
have the vigorous opposition of at
least two members of the tax COM
mission. Chairman Campbell and Mr..
lander, who insist on an actual val
uation under the powers given them
by the general taxation law 1t is
said, however, that a canvass of the
Legislature has disclosed strong
majority in favor of some special
law, either such as is outlined in this
i bill or some other which bases the
value for purposes of taxation. on
production.

One of the most important, if not
the most important matter of legis-
Iation which will come before the
week when Senator Bacon of
ella introduced bill, providing for
the assessment and taxation of mines,
always serious matter of conten-
ton not only in this, state but in
every state where mines are. The
law under which the mines were
taxed last year and the year before
was a sort of modus vivendi, a COM
promise between the mine owner
and the tax commission, though it
was passed by the legislature without
the consent of the tax commission.
Under it's own terms it ceased to be
operative at the beginning of the
present year.
This law proposed to tax the mines
on their output. computed on the av-
oreage price for the products in New
York City for the preceding ten years
from the figures of the Engineering
and Mining Journal or of any other
standard publication giving the mar
ket reports for that period. Under
that bill every productive mine was
to be valued for purposes of taxa
ton at II IL per cent gross proceeds,
plus four times the net.
The reference above is only to the
price of the products and not to the
total value of them for purposes
of taxation which was to be based
on the production during the twelve
months next preceding the first of
January during the time when the
law should be in force.
The bill introduced by Senator
Bacon is a reiteration of the prin-
ciple of that law, differing in YER
biage in many of the sections, and
removing from the tax commission
certain discretion allowed it under
the old law, especially in the matter
of deciding what is development
work which under the old law was
not to be deducted from<fhe cost of
production.
The first two sections of the bill
are almost precisely the same as the
corresponding sections of the old law

WARDEN SIMS ERROR.

The neglect OF Warden SIMS OF the penlten-
-iary to execute Villalobo, convicted OF the muir
Ter last summer of an officer of the law and other
persons at the time set for the execution, is made
worse and more serious by his ex-
planaton of such neglect-the failure OF the board
of pardons and paroles to have organized at the
time fixed for the execution If this explanation
is regarded as satisfactory, explanation, how
ever wild and fanciful that the warden may offer
for future misconduct and neglect OF plainly I'M
posed duties can fail to be equally satisfactory.
And if such explanations are to be considered
satisfactory there is no officer in the state,
stable sheriff or other charged with the perform
ance of definite duties, who may not on some pre-
text refuse to perform Them
Warden Sims had nothing whatever to do
with the organization of the board of Pardons and
paroles, as Attorney General Jones OF the board
very forcbly points out The warden mad no
means of knowing whether the case ofAVillalobo
would ever be brought before the board The
court which sentenced Villalobo to be hanged on
January could not know and had no right to
care whether there would be such board or
not and certainly, if the court could not concern
itself with the future existence of such board
"a mere warden should not do SO the wllful neg
lect of his plainly directed duty.
According to his explanation, the warden aP-
peared to be under the impression that the Peo-
nle had voted for the creation of the board that
in the case of Villalobo, when in fact, the Peoe
pie voted for the creation of such board that
there might be an end of the unrestricted and IN
discriminate exercise of clenency in such cases as
that of Villalobo.
The warden, with good intentions, was guilty
in gross way, of contempt OF court IN neglect
ing, on his own notion without any advice or
suggestion from any competent or authorized
to offer advice or suggestionto carry out solemn
order of the court.
The fact may be passed over that Vltlalobo
was guilty of most brutal and cold-blooded
crime, concerning the circumstances OF which
there was no doubt. But suppose there was
doubt; suppose there was strong presumption of
his innocence it not the business OF the ward
en- to raise doubt or to presume
The action of the warden was, OF course,
taken because of his well-known opposition to
capital punishment, matter no longer an issue
in this state since the people settled that last
November.
