BIG TAX CASES NON STATE IN
 SUPREME COURT
Assessed Valuation by Tax Commission of Inspiration Mine and International Shelter Is Upheld

The supreme court of Arizona yes .erday handed down a decision in the famous tax cases of the Inspiration Consolidated and International Shelter companies that is a distinct victory for the state and Gila county, remanding the cases to the superior court with directions to- sustain the demurrer and dismiss the cases, for the reason that there is no appeal provided by law from the assessments made by the state tax commission.
 "The decision of the supreme court in the International Shelter and h. spiration Consolidated tax cases is of the greatest importance to the state, said Charles R. Howe of the state tax commission yesterday An opposite decision would have thrown the state into the same pitiable condition it was before statehood and before there was my centralized taxing authority, when ach county, through local interests, . vas trying to lower their assessments to the lowest possible point, and the taN returns were too small to sustain the government and make needed state improvements.
 One Judge Dissents
 "The last year before statehood anc taxable values. under the system oi Inc county off e.als and courts as fina 3rbiters, was only S9S,O0000O The assessed valuation now is nearly s90O,oOO,OOO."
 The decision that an appeal canno hc had from the state tax commission .o a county court is highly gratifying to the commission not that We ohiec
Arizona republican., 1919-07-03

to review, but that review in county l courts would be destructive of the ef- | ficient action of the state tax com mission
 The decision was written by Chief Justice Cunningham and concurred in by Justice A c. Baker, with Justice Ross dissenting. The dissent, how ever, gives little comfort to the ap pellee, as the reason for il is that Jus tice Ross does not believe that the law allows an appeal 10 the supreme court from case of this sort.
 It is held by the majority of the court that there is under the existing law no appeal whatever from the de- cisOns on assessments made by the state tax commission on those types or property they value for tax pur- 1 poses. and for that reason The case IS remanded to the superior court of Gila county, where it originated, with
 instructions to the court that the original demurrer be sustained and the ! case dismissed.
 Pay Under Protest
 The mines were appraised by the
 state tax commission for the year 1917
 and their figures entered on the tax
 rolls of Giia county.
 I ne NGiut oCt ny AAiC NCNAlAF eAo9OooOl was too low according to the tax com mission. who used the method of valuation by so-called intangible as
 sets the earnings of the company rather than the physical valuation oi 5 their property, and set the value oi
 the mines at $74,16S,S0S.
 On this assessment the company : paid, under protest, the sum of $624, 22414, and filed suit to recover undel
 the provision of the law that provides for appeal from the assessments bl county assessors and county boards Q equalization.
 The trial judge in Gila county, Judg s Shute. after hearing the case, loppet D off nearly $1S,000,000 from the taXabl > valuation as set by the tax commis sion, reducing the valuation of tn e property to the sum of $61, 456, l04 A. n The state and the county of Gilf q through the office of the attorney gen
 eral, appealed the case to the suprem
 court Of the state, where it lay in d active for a long time without tn f filing of some necessary papers, an Il at the end of nine months was dis e missed from the calendar for the req y son alleged by the court that it ha
 not been prosecuted. On motion ( )t the attorney general, supported D m affidaVits the case was reinstated an g is just now being finally disposed ,r by the court in this decision.

To work out the problem by mathe- nautical rote was about as difficult as squaring the circle. But the college student went at it boldly. Reams of paper were figured and disfigured by his energetic pencil during the next few days. Finally he brought to MT. Edison the resultf of his calculations.

FAMOUS ROCK OF GIBRALTAR
Great Britain Has So Strongly Fortl- fled 1t That 1t 10 Rightly Con-
 sldered Impreonable.

Since the day, more than 200 years ago, when the flag of Great Britain was flung out over Gibraltar, the strong est fortress in the world, that country has won many triumphs in commerce and has become mistress of the seas.
 The rock of Gibraltar is 1,400 feet high and across the narrow bay may be seen the coast of Africa only nine miles away. The rock is nearly three miles long and about half mile broad. On the eastern side the cliff is so steep that nothing but monkey can scale 1t, and there is colony of monkeys living there, the only an imals of their kind living wild in Europe.
 The only possible approach to the rock Is by land from the north. or from the sea on the western side. As viewed from the ocean the Rock of Gibraltar Is impressive, strong, gloomy and forbidding. But flowers grow about the steep walls. The great Victoria batteries, occasionally fired, are screened and sheltered by acacia blossoms. Here are concealed 1OO-ton guns sinister, threatening. The north and northwest sides are honeycombed by Notifications. There is town and harbor on the west, protected by bat teries and forts rising from the base to the summit of the rock. Modern guns of the most formidable pattern frown from the heights. The town Is inhabited by British colony of about 25.OOO people. Everything is under strict military regulation.
