den 66 2-3 per cent reater than used

Applies to Cities.
The classification also is mads to
apply as to cities. If a man owns a
200 foot front, and but so feet is &C.
cupied by building, that so feet and
10 feet additional allowed for q drive
way would be listed as used land,
while the other 100 feet would be list
ed as unusued land. The 60 feet would
be assessed on the 80 per cent basis.
while the other lao feet would be as
sessed on the so per cent basis. This
rule is made to apply in the case Of
business buildings, stores, ETC., the
provisions being made that mining and
manufacturing industries shall be al
lowed such additional ground under
the head of fused land" as may be
necessary to carry on the business.
In the case of residence property,
provision is made that anything up
to two acres in connection with the
residence shall be considered as used
land, except that is cases where the
actual value Of such land exceeds ST.
500, such excess value shall be as
sessed on the so per cent basis: that
portion valued less than $1,000 being
assessed on the 80 per cent basis.
Personal Exemptions.
Provision is made for the exemption
Of personal properties from taxation
by the establishment of $500 ex-
emption, which is six times greater
than the exemption now permitted.
This is in line with the Nonpartisan
doctrine of exempting personal prop
erty from taxation.
The act also provides for the ex-
emption of improvements upon land.
The foux classes provided, then, and
the rate of taxation in each, follows:
First class-Unused land, as
sessed at so per cent Of it's value. q
Second class Carriers, rail
roads, franchises, royalties, etc,
assessed at 40 per cent of their
real value.

Cities Given Power.

vision under which city councils or
city commissions would be given the
power to exempt improvements on
land from taxation.
Administration Of the act, Of course,
is placed in the hands of the state tax
commissioner, in the event that the
administration plan to abolish the
three man commission is adopted.
Gross Earnings Tax.
The Roylance bill calling for the
establishment of gross earnings tax
provides the following:
Five per cent tax on the tele-
phone and telegraph companies,
oil companies, oil distribution
companies, heat, light and power
companies water companies and
trust companies not doing bank
ing business.
Eight per cent on express COM
panies sleeping car companies,
freight lines.
These taxes will be in lieu Of all
other taxes except for special i'm
provements.
The measure is patterned after the
Minnesota gross earnings tax except
as to the rates.
Railroads would be assessed under
the classification act, at 40 per cent
Of their value, with the addition of
the corporation income tax.
This act, too, would be administer
ed by the tax commissioner.
In the taxation Of telephone and
telegraph companies, provision would
be made for the distribution of the
income on the mileage basis. Thus, a
tax collected for an exchange located,
say, in Casselton, and connecting with
the surrounding local territory, would
be apportioned to Casselton and
through the country, two-thirds of the
revenue obtained from that company
, BY the earnings tax being apportioned
, locally, while onethird would go to the
state.
Ground Rental Act.
Il The ground rental tax measure is
one Of the most drastic Of the group
!, Of proposed bills.
| The purpose Of this is to apply the
| Henry George theory of the single
tax. and Of taking from the owner
Of land the rental income of such
land.
/ Under the workings Of this pro-
posed act, the value Of ground is based
upon its income producing power.
Take, for instance. piece Of prom
erty that is producing $3.50 year in
come.
The assessor would determine which
part Of that income was derived from
the buildings on the land. and which
part was derived from the land it.
self.
i If it should be determined by the
assessor that $50 represents the in
come on the land, the land would then
!, be capitalized on that basis, the $50
representing five per cent income
on capital value Of $1,000.
With the capitalized value Of the
land established, the ground rental tax
twould become operative exacting
from the owner five per cent income
thus taking all Of the income from
the land.
The purpose is to take all that part
Of the income produced by land. thus
carrying into effect the Henry George
theory Of the single tax.
T Tax Commissioner in Power.
| With all of these contemplated
changes there is coupled the other ad-
ministration bill by which the three
man tax commission would be abolish

named, that officer to be appointed

Mining and Financial NetUS
BY REVIEW LEASED WIRE

NEW YORK, Jan. A large part of yesterdays general advance in stocks was forfeited during today $ short session, due to a combination of profit taking and fresh pressure against local utilities.
 Refusal of the authorities to grant increased fares precipitated declines of l to almost s points fin Brooklyn Rapid Transit, Interborough Consoli- dated preferred, Brooklyn Union Gas and Consolidated Gas.
 Oi4s, the strongest features of re- cent days, forfeited 1 to 315 points, steels and coppers, including United States Steel and American Smelting, an average of a point, and rails l to 8 points.
 Texas Pacific was again most active of the transportations, yielding 21a points of its recent substantial ad- vance. while Canadian Pacific, St. Paul preferred, Union Pacific and Atchison eased on very moderate of- ferings.
 The few features of strength were confined to speculative shares, notably Beet Sugar, American Ice, tobaccos and distilling stocks registered eX- treme gains of l to poines. Sales, 300,000 shares.
 Over year transfers of loan were reflected in the weekly bank state ment, which reported an actual loan increase of S116, 6,400,000 and an in crease of almost $19,OOO,OO0 in actual excess reserves.
 Trading in bonds was nominal, the tone becoming slightly irregular on ar easier trend for Liberty issues. Total sales, par value, S6.S75,OOO. Old Unit ed states bonds were unchanged or call during the week.

GRAIN MARKET.

CHICAGO, Jan. 4. - Bullish senti- ment predominated in the corn market today chiefly owing to continued smallness of receipts. The close was unsettled, at the same as yesterdays finish to Ac higher. with January S14S4 to s1.439s and May S1.37% to $1.377s.
 Oats gained Ac to 5se. The result in provisions was unchanged to 10c lower
 Although some increase of arrivals led to a slight initial sag, the corn market soon developed unmistakable strength that sent March to the high. est prices yet this season. During the last 30 minutes of trading, however considerable realizing set in, and values showed a setback.
 In oats as in corn, the strength of the cash position was the main bullish factor

FINANCIAL REVIEW.

NEW YORK. Jan. 4.-Rapid pro gress toward peace basis attended the first days of the new year in the financial market, the only discordant note being sounded by the Brooklyn Rapid Transit receivership.
 In most other respects developments were of a confident and suspicious character. Removal of virtually all federal restrictions against new cap ital issues was signalized by several important financial issues.
 It is generally assumed that numer- ous other hOtatiOns will attract in vestors before spring. when the gov ernment is to come into the market with another large Liberty loan. Apropos of this prospect, the rally in existing Liberty issues was one of the stimulating features of the new year.
 Authorities are agreed that domestic industrial and commercial conditions are sound
 The most uncertain element. accord. ing to general opinion, in the country's immediate progress toward readjust- ment is furnished by the status of the railroads.
 Although specialties dominated by pools comprised a very large propor- tion of the recent stock dealings, ap- pTeciable strength was shown by other issues which are believed to owe their activity to more substantial reasons. Chief among these were secondary rails which are destined to figure con- spicucusly in the country's postwar expansion.

REVIVAL OF MININ 6 IN SONORA ASSURED

4 revival of mining in northern Sonora, just as soon as conditions have adjusted themselves sufficiently to allow operators to feel secure of obtaining a market for their ore, is presaged by the influx of mining men into the northeastern part of the Mex ican state Frank J. Holmes, superin- tendent of the North Tigre Leasing company, who spent several days in the city early last week, said there had been no less than 15 or 20 men passing through the section surround ing Fl Tigre, looking for good mining properties to take hold of ''as soon as things open up."
 From Nacozari comes similar word, many prospectors having taken the field and not a few men who are re- puted to be scouts for capital being out in the hills looking for promising prospects or partially developed mines.
 MT Holmes said thst the North Tigre was pushing development and recently had encountered some high grade ore in its lower tunnel. which is equivalent to 1900 feet in depth. The vein, at the time he left the prop. erty, had opened out to two and a half feet in width. The North Tigre, like it's more famous neighbor, Fl Tigre, is a silver-gold property Much of it's stock is held locally.

SILVER SCARCITY ANNOYS NEXICANS
CRv Review Leased wirel

hby heNleM Leased NlIel
 MEXICO CITY, Jan. 4.-Infinite an- nOyance to every resident and an ap- preciable loss to business houses has resulted from the virtual disappear ance from circulation of silver coins. These comprise half peso pieces and those of 20 and 10 centavOs. The con stantly increasing price of silver has given spectators chance to make enormous profits by cornering the sil- yer coins for sale as bullion. When the shortage became noticeable, the capital press printed stories on the disappearance of the coins. An imme- diate rush to hoard what coins re- mained then began.
 Persons without change are unable to make small purchases as many mer- chants will decline to sell if they are forced to give silver change for 10 or 20 peso gold piece. The govern ment, to relieve the situation. is rush ing preparations to mint a new gold coin worth two and half pesos.
