ADDITIONAL TAXABLE Property.—
It is well known that ina case before
the Supreme Court recently, the law
.> exempting certain classes of property
from taxation was declared. unconstitutonal and-the list.of taxable _ property
_ Aslargely increased. Mining claims,posOdd Fellows and other halls, Church
property, and the property.of Benevo Jent Institutions will now be taxed.—
All property except that belonging to
the United States, State or county, and
__ designated as public property must pay
_ taxes. In calculating the basis of taxation for the present year the Committee On Ways and Means estimated the
total value of mining claims in the State
: at $9,815,000, distributed as follows in
. . the several counties: Alpine, $175,000;
*~ Amador, $1,000,000; Butte, $500,000 ;
Caldveras; $500,000; Del Norte, $150,000; El Dorado, $240,000 ; Fresno, $50,~ 000 ; Inyo, $100,000 ; Klamath, $150,000 ; Kern, $500,000; Mono, $50,000 ;
Mariposa, $800,000:; Nevada; 2,000,000;
2. Placer $1,500,000; Plumas, $250,000 ;
Trinity, $100,000 ; Tuolumne, $500,000;
Tulare, $100,000 ; Yuba, $500,000, In
many of the counties the estimates are
much too low. In Yuba, for instance,
‘Ville is probably as niuch as the estimates of the value given for the whole
county. The Revenue Law provides
that property shall be assessed for its full
cash value, and under this rule mining
claims should be assessed for what they
will bring in the market. It would not
be fair to base the assessment of min. . ing claims upon the value a year before, because many mines which were
then valuable may be worthless, and it
~_ Would not be just to tax mines which
have never yielded a dollar to the owners, for until a mine pays itis of no
real value, Some uniform rule should
be established for the assessment of
mines, in order that they may be taxed
equally throughout the mining coun__ ties. In. the absence of any regulation by
statute, we think that it would be welj
for Mr. Watt, the State Controller, who
is an experienced miner, to establish
_ Some regulations to guide county As_.. Sessors in making assessments of min" ing claims. In the assessment of all
-* other property there isa fixed and taxablé basis upon which to make a just
. and equitable valuation. Asa general
thing all property is assessed too high
in the mining counties. Real estate
and improvements are in nine cases out
__ Of ten assessed for more than it will
bring in the market. Such a systeni
imposes unjust burdens upon the people because it makes the taxes heavier
“than other sections of the State pay.

that a permanent organization was

W. A. Johnson, L. K. Reasoner and
Thos. Cary; Secretary, C. A. Tilton;

THE BoRER.—Many fine -fruit trees
are destroyed by the borer. The eggs
from whieh this troublesome worm is
hatched are deposited by a brown beetle
in early Summer, which makes a smal}
hole in the bark, and lays the egg,
trusting to Nature to hatch it.
young worm feeds first upon the tender
the body of the tree, frequently destroying the roots entirely. The pest is said
to:be particularly fond of apple and
quince trees. The surest remedy is
the knife anda pointed implement to’
impale the worm in its hole. Ashes
have been tried asa preventive, but}
they are injurious to the trees. A
piece of oil-cloth tied tightly to the
trunk of the tree a few inches above
the ground, drawn tightly ‘and the
lower edge tied below the surface is a
sure pteventive against the insect reaching the bark.
GRAFTING grapes is often successfally done, says the Agricultural Report, when the root is large, by boring
scions with the bark upon them. _ It is
difficult to graft grapes by the ordinary
method as the bark is thin and the wood
very porous. Se Sie
INCORPORATED. — The -Smartaville
