TALLY AMENDMENT REJECTED

The Tally amendment was rejected and
the Acker amendment adopted.
Senator Carmichael of Colbert moved
that the committee remain in session
until the revenue bill is disposed of and
that the senate then convene and remain
in session until action is taken on the
measure and request the house to re-
main in session until the bill can be sent
back to it, Senator Ellis of Dallas sec
onded the motion and it was adopted.
Senator Evins of Hale offered an
amendment to the license schedule strik-
ing out schedule 66 (coal mining) and
the substitution therefor of license tax
based on tonnage production as follows;
90 tons or less day. $25: so to 200 tons,
$50: 200 to 500 tons, 500; 500 to 1000 tons,
500; 1000 to 1000 tons, $500; 1000 to $500
tons. $500; over 25oc tons. $1,000.
Discussing his amendment Mr. Evins
SAID it was in keeping with the other
license taxes imposed, and that if a tax
on this industry is to be imposed at all
it should be in line with the general pol
icy of the state. He said it was a dis
criminatory tax and would be a him
drance to industry that the coal indus
try in the state would be crippled if
this tax is imposed.
He referred to the testimony before '.e
committee of coal operators which had
not been denied, that they testified that
Mexican oils and Goals of other fields
were driving them out of part of their
territory. He said he had obtained in
formation from authoritative sources
which substantiated the statements OF
the coal operators. Referring to the
lumber section of the scheule, he called
attention to the contrast in the method
of licensing the lumber and the coal in

FUNDAMENTALLY WRONG

He cont ended that the proposed ton
mage tax is fundamentally wrong; that
if the tax as originally drawn is passed
1t would be oppression. He said coal
and iron are not the only natural re-
sources in the state the removal of which
destroys the value of the land that

Der. He asked those favorng the tax
to explain why they proposed to tax
lumber in one way and coal and iron
in another.
Senator Leith of Walker, advocating
the adoption of the Evins amendment.
said the coal and iron people were not
trying to escape just taxes. He said il
had been argued that when timber is
removed the land is still there to be
cultivated. Answering this argument, he
said nearly all the surface of nearly all
of the mineral lands is now under cul
tivation, and that after all the minerals
are taken out the land will still be tilla-

Prior to the war, he said, few of the
Goa, operators made money. Some of
them made big profits during the war
until the government fixed prices. he
said, but now that the war is over they
are not making much money: that many
of the mines are closed down, that when
mine is closed down overhead expenses
go on. Fifty per cent of the mines in

Return Game Saturday. tho 10th
VOLUME 80.

Last Friday afternoon Challis
and Pahsamaroi crossed bats on
the local ball grounds.
The game was a close one for
several inning, neither side being
able to connect with the little
round sphere which was handled
most remarkably by Lou Frost
for Challis and Amidy Tremblay
for Pahsalnaroi.
A number of errors on the part
of the Challis boys allowed the
visitors to run up their score to
13 points while the home boys
only had 4, and the result at the
end of the game was unchanged.
A large number of Pahsamar-
oi fans were in attendance at the
game and the enthusiastic root
ing for both teams showed the
great interest manifested.
The game, throughout, was
clean, and no unpleasantness
whatever arose.
A return game with Pahsam-
aroi will be played on Saturday
afternoon of this week at May
and quite a large crowd from
here are planning on going over.
