LATEST DECISION.

More confusion has been added to
the state law regarding the surrender
clause in oil and gas leases by tho
supreme court in decision handed
down last week in the case of Bear
man versus the DuX oil company. Ia
this case the court apparently backs
up on some of the principles it enun
cated in decision of one ut the com
missions n few months ago and this
latest decision favors the position Of
tho oil men that the surrender clause
is necessary and tenable, although IT
does not pass squarely upon that
proposition.
1t il reasonable to presume. how.
ever, that In the much discussed
Brown versus Wilson case that has
been before the court for decision for
some months. the court will modify to
a large degree its former holding That
the surrender clause nullifies the
lease. inasmuch as in the decision of
last weel, the court goes farther in this
direction thar in any case yet.

tax as applied TO oil and the general
ad valorem tax as applied 10 all other
classes Of property and ! here with
submit to you the following conclu-
sions, based ON figures taken from the
official tax records for the fiscal yc AZ
ending JUnc 80, 1916. anj other au-
thentic sources OF Information.
The basis of the tax system of tins
state Is the ad Valorem system Cac-
cording to valucl.
It's fundamental principle: il must
be equitable on all classes Of properrr
and equitable in rate for all classes
Of taxes.
The value of property may be de
.ermincd by actual capital cost; earn-
ings. franchise rights and stability;
unearned increment. Practically all
classes Of property subject to taxation
have accumuiative ascending value.
Real estate, by reason Of its llmlta-
ton and the continuous increase o.
population, shows Il steady increase IN
value. Business enterprises of all
kinds and classes under proper man
agemont continually increase in value.
This maxim, however, cannot be ap-
piled to oil properties, as it's values
cannot he established or become fixed
until its production Dc,Ins ana the
initial production must necessarily rep.
resent it's highest value. with every
barrel of oil produced. the property
value must decline and with the last
barrel of oil taken from the property
the value of the property is destroyed
Values OF oil properties therefore
are descending ones consequently the
sum total of It's annual production
must be the assessablc tax value.
1t is conceded that the per cen:
gross production TAX is nOS a fran
chise, license or income tax, but It
tax in lieu Of all nd Valorcm taxes.
in fact 1t f. an ad valorcm tax, cN-
acted by the state upon all classes Il
taxable property.
The question therefore il, is this
tax equitable?
The average tax levy for the fiscal
year under consideration as based Oh
values fixed for taxing purposes, r.
$lSS1 per hundred Valuation. Con-
however. that the values
fixed do not repre- sent actual values.
as shown in tables attached, the rate
On said true value is 81 AS pc
800 valuation. Considering further
that oil properties are located outside
the corporate hints OF towns and
cities and therefore not subject to IL
usually high rate Of city taxes. the
rate of leyies properly Hppl'cahle 10
oil property values shows tC be Sl.o7fS
per 500 on the true valuation.

JUDGE JOHN S. CLAY
APPOINTED RECORDER

On the 3rd inst. Governor Major
appointed Judge John S. Clay of
Pennington Recorder of Deeds of st.
Francois county to fill the vacancy
occasioned by the death of the late
Recorder W. c. Eaves. The appoint
ment is good one, Judge Clay being
one of our best and most substantial
citizens, and there was little doubt,
when it was known that he was an
applicant for the position, that the
Governor would appoint him, al
though there were several other APP
plicants for the position. Judge Clay
and the Governor have been close per-
sonal friends for years, which dates
back to when they served together
in the State Senate. The friendship
then formed between them has held
fast, and the Governor no doubt was
glad of the opportunity to do his
friend a favor. The Times congratu-
lates Judge Clay on his appointment

YOUNG POLITICIAN.
WHY WE ARE GETTING READY

|. The President has done a useful
thing in assuring the country that the
present demand for preparedness does
not come from those who; are inter.
ested in the manufacture Of munitions
of war. This senseless charge is one
of the pet alterations of the pacifsts,
Mr.. Bryan makes use of it continually,
assuring the taxpayers, who will have
to foot the bill for preparedness, that
they are going to be mulcted as the
result of panic artifcially produced
by a few self-interested conspirators.
1t is clear to any sensible person
that no considerable element in this
country could be stampeded by cam
paign engineered by the munitions
makers. Congressman as rule will
vote for adequate military prepara-
ton only when they are convinced that
the people earnestly demand it; for
the average congressman's desire is to
save money in military outlay and to
spend it instead on projects which.
bring a direct political return--on
pensions, roads, public buildings, riv-
ers and harbors and free rural deliy-t
cry.
Agitation for national defense would
be negligible if it had no other inspir-
alton than the expected profits of gun
and powder manufacturers. 1t is on
ly because people are beginning to
see that their own protection-the pro-
lection of American lives and proper
ty--depends on adequate preparedness
that the present agitation is sweeping
the country.-New York Tribune. (Re-
publican.)
