UNJUST TAX LAW

According to recent findings it is
shown that the mining interests of
Colorado have been q favored class.
so far as taxation goes. decision
rendered by Judge Black, of the Sew
enth judicial district at Montrose, in
the case of The Camp Bird Mining
CO VS.. the board of county commits
sioncrs of Ouray county, exposes a
most fragrant case of special privil-
ege. Briefly the facts are:
The Camp Bird, Ltd. are the rich
est mines in Colorado. When pur-
chased, the revenue stamps called for
valuation of $500, 100000. They
own 1,O37.79 acres of ground. You
could not buy twenty acres of this
ground for $1,000 per acre. One
year the production of this mine was
81. .75O, 100000, according to the as
SCISSOR of Ouray county. The mine
shut down during the war, the gem
eral talk being that it was done to
escape the English and American war
taxes, it being an English corpora
tion. The assessor of Ouray county
assessed them at 100000 per acre,
or $415, JIG. about one-fourteenth of
the actual value while under the law
he had to assess all other properties
at cash value The mining company
protested and under the law the judge
had to give verdict that S21 per
acre was all they could be charged
with. This would have made the
valuation $21, ,793.59, when a conser-
vative estimate places the value OF
| the property at over $4.0OO,OO0.0O
Where would Colorado be IL all pro-
perty was assessed on this basis
| If mining property can be assessed at
1920 part of its value, why not city
and town property, ranches and live
! stock?
There is similar case in Montrose
county. The LaSal Copper Mining
/ Company stood idle for years. A very
valuable property. BY this method
| the small owners were "froze" out
improvements and land made total
valuation under tIs1 mining law OF
| $40, 900 on n land vauation in keep
/ ing with farm land. The company
had an offer OF s225,0OO for the pro.
perty. The assessor claimed this tc
/ he value. The commissioners stood
/ behind him. Result: The company
after paying this tax decided to sell
and did sell the property for over
| $500, 900 90. and the new outfit has
put men to work making 1t of value
/ to the community. Under this court
decision they are now asking a re-
duction and ere willing to pay on
| 100000 or 10 what the property
sold for.
1t NAV be that Governor Shour
will include in his call for n special
session of the legislature a repeaI OF
that part OF the revenue law applying
to mines.
