b BY PAYING TAXES ON met" BASIS
Helena Paper Says the Lates Effort of the Big Mining and Power
Interests in Montana to Fix Their Own Assessment Figures Be-
fore Their Taxes Are Paid May Be Followed in the Future by the
Farmers to Hold Down Their Taxes.

The Montana Record Herald, of
Helena, in its issue of last Friday,
says:
From its Butte Hill metals mine
property in Butte the Anaconda Cop
per Mining company produced $780,
661 tons of ore for the year beginning
June 1, 1922, and ended May 81, 1923,
and also 1,289,040 tons of tailings, all
of which had a total valuation of $685.
931,122.83, according to the report of
the company on it's net proceeds of
this one mine submitted to the state
board of equalization.
In arriving at the amount of net
proceeds on which the Anaconda COM
pany was to pay a metals mine license
tax the state board permitted the
company to deduct a total of 1884,
380.15 for costs of upkeep of the mine
and reduction works in Anaconda, and
also costs of producing this amount
of ore, but because the board refused
to permit the company to deduct $780,
622.61 paid for insurance and also
S15O,685.86 paid for taxes on the re-
duction works, the company started
a suit in court a few days ago, pro-
testing the payment of all of the an
nual metals mine license tax.

Up FOR DISBARMENT
E. M. NILES is CHARGED WITH
MALPRACTICE AND CRIMES
OF MORAL TURPITUDE

Charged with deceit, malpractice
and crimes involving moral turpitude,
E. NJ. Niles, a prominent Livingston
attorney, former Park county attorney
and an unsuccessful candidate for the
republican nomination in the primary
election of last year for the judgeship
of the Sixth Judicial district in which
Judge Albert P. Stark, now associate
Justice of the supreme court was nomi-
mated and elected, will have to face the
supreme court in Helena on December
"a, the day before Christmas, to show
cause why he should not be forever
disbarred from the practice of law in
the state of Montana.
Attorney Niles came to Montana
about twelve years ago from Mime
sofa where he is said to have borne an
excellent reputation. 1t will be re-
membered that his former law part
ner, F. W. Inskeep, also from Mime
sofa, committed suicide over a year
ago by taking a dose of sodium eva
hide in the kitchen of his home in
Livingston when he learned that the
| officers were after him, armed with
a warrant for his arrest on a charge
of his appropriating funds entrusted
to his care. 1t was said at the time
that Mr.. Niles was himself a heavy
loser as the result of the d~efalcations
of his former partner.
Charges against Niles have been
filed by Judge John A. Matthews, OF
Townsend, former associate justice OF
the supreme court, who had been ap-
pointed by the court to investigate
the charge against him.
Chief Justice Lew L. Galloway
signed the order requiring Niles to ap-
pear before the court on December
"a to show cause why his certificate
to practice law should not be revoked
his name stricken from the roll Of at
torneys of the state and why he should
not be forever disbarred from the
practice of law in Montana.
The complaint, which consists OF
nine specifications, charges that Niles
has been guilty of violation OF his
oath, of his duties and obligations az
attorney and counsellor at law, anc
of deceit, malpractice and crimes IN

ed from Public Administrator J F.
Leighton, a Livingston flour and feed
dealer. The specifications drawn by
the special counsel for the supreme
court allege that Niles forged a pro-
misery note for $500 and v%ariously
was guilty of sharp practices in the
handling of monies confided to him
in trust, mismanaged estates for
which he was attorney and by false
representations secured possession of
money which he refused to restore
to the rightful owners.

The States Figures
In refusing to permit the deduction
of $70,622.61 for taxes and $780,
685.86 paid for insurance on the re-
duction works plant from the net
proceeds, on the claim that those
items represented cost of producing
ore taken from the mine in Butte,
the state board fixed $2,978, 742.68 as
the total amount Of net proceeds,
making the annual license tax $44,-

the same attitude regarding its net
proceeds on the Emma mine. another
property in Butte.
