TEMPORARY INJUNCTION RESTRAINING TAX COM.

The United States circuit court of appeais at San Francisco, last Mon- day, granted temporary injunction restraining the tax commission of Ari- zona from putting into effect its or der increasing the taxation of the Standard Oil Company of California for the year 1917 from $342,706 to $2,91O,579. This was the cause ap- pealed from the decision of Judge Sawtelle, who held that the company had better remedy than the one sought through the U. s. courts. The cir cult court held that the commissions valuation was fundamentally erro- neous and unwarranted. The case new goes back to the United States court for Arizona for trial on it's merits.
 The theory on which the state tax commission basis it's taxation of in- tangible values is the profits of the business, although the Standard Oil Company maintained that part of the profits sought to be taxed was earn ed in California and not subject to the laws of the state of Arizona. The only people caught in the net of the tax commission was few meat mar kets, the mining companies and other corporations where the ebb and flow of business might bring great pro- fits or losses. No provision was made for the losses of any of these fellows, but if they made big win ming for the year they had to pay If they made loss that was their misfortune.
 Intangible values have been the subject of legislation in possibly every state of the Union, but so far none of them have gotten very far witt the enforcement of the laws. One o1 the reasons is that it is oppressive or classes. The corporation is fair bali for the taxing powers, but the fellow who can hide his profits away under the guise of expense or is so far re moved from the assessor that he Il overlooked, gets clear away. A yea or two ago the tax commission tool a peep at the income tax returns ant immediately got busy with its horl zontal raises of taxes. So enormous ly was some of the taxes increased i would have taken every dollar of thu profits of the taxpayer to cover th payment. People who had abou $4O,OOO worth of property and wh made a profit of $12,000 were raise' to more than $2OO,O0O, and som reached close to half a million in crease. The following year thes same businesses showed no profit But in looking the field over it woul be noted that sheepmen, cattlemer farmers and that class were not in creased. A sheepman, cattleman o farmer who sold his herds or his far1 would have to pay nearly two percen of his sale price in taxes, but we not that there are no suits from that clas of property, indicating that no sue drastic taxation was imposed in tha direction.
 Mining and certain businesses al parently was the only property fes tured in the taxation of intangibl values.

 Russia is rich in petroleum oils. The wells of the Caucasus near Baku produced 7,7OO,OO0 tons of oil in 1913. There are evidences of further oil de- posits in various parts of Southern Russia-awaiting the call of Ameri- can enterprise.
 But Russia has other mineral re- sources, too-platinum, lead, zinc, cop per. Many other minerals are abun- dant in the land of the Muscovite.
