known for some time that the Govern.

opposition and has good chance OF
passing the senate also.

that the tax shall be one.lialf Of one
per cent. OF the value of the coal at
the mouth Of the mine, while as re.
spects petroleum, the tax shall be two
ner cent. of the. value thereof at the
mouth Of the we'll. AS respects ma.
tural gas, the tax shall be two per
cent. OF the value OF the gas at the
mouth Of the we'll, or, IL transported
out of the state the value at theastate
line.
The bill provides that no tax shall
be collected from any company for
coal mined from a mine not subject
to inspection by the state mining do.
partment, nor from any company pro-
ducing or selling coal, petroleum and
natural gas where the tax for any
half.year does not amount to $40. The
tax year shall begin with the first day
OF July and end with the 30th day OF
June of the year following, beginning

the law shall be guilty Of a misde
meauor, and shall be fined not exceed
ing $500 for each month such failure
continues; but the auditor may, for
good cause, extend the time for max
ing return in any case, and may,
for good reason, excuse delay in max
