Alta opposeg.the bill which provides
_ forthe appropriation of the Foreign
~~"Miners’ license to the counties in which
it is Collected. It is natural that San
Francisco: shonld desire to bleed the
“mining counties to the utmost extent,
‘wnd that an attempt should be made to
gain for that city the entire wealth as
well as the control of the State. The
mining counties now pay a much larger
part of State taxes in proportion to pop.
ulation than San Francisco. Our property is assessed higher and county taxes
are correspondingly lower for county
_ ‘purposes. Mortgages have been taxed
Ee oS in this county and they were not in San
’ Francisco. It is not just that the State
should reap the benefit arising solely
‘ from local sources. The mining counties are overrun with Chinese miners
who fill the jails and add largely to the
_ expenses of criminal business. They
‘pay no taxes to meet these expenses ex~ @ept in the shape of foreign miners’ li: with debt.
censes. They hold no property of any.
éonsequence im the mining ‘counties, while in San Francisco they have
a. large. amount of valuable real éatate,
and heavy stocks of goods that pay
tribute to that city. ‘ The foreign miners’ license-is purely «local tax and
should be used for local purposes. It
is admitted that in many of the mining
counties property is decreasing in value
and they are heavily incumbered:

re salaries and bad management. ~
This is untrue. There is not a county
in the State which hassuffered so heayily from high salaries and corrupt management as San Francisco. There are
other causes of decline inthe mining
~eounties which have been discussed at
= dag th and need not be alluded to here.
_ This is only another reason why the loeal taxes for these counties should not
be appropiated to other localities which
@re more flourishing than the mines.
THE Chicago Tribune nominates
petrien Francis Train for next President,
and the walking Weston for Vice President, in support of which ticket it
says: “Train says he has brains, and
‘we know that Weston has legs. Train

epigrams and Weston’s walking-shoves
