Some of th " 'argument advanced
against exempting non-productive min
ing properties were that such concerns
were in no respect different from other
business' enterprises that had not yet
reached the producing -stage. Senator
Booth cited lumber milling plants, and
said many of them bad not paid the
peat year, yet they were taxed by the
corporation law and also the county
aaaeaaor. Some members of the legislature-
held to the argument that the
real mining Interest did not oppose the
corporation law, but that wildcat -pro-'
moter did. Mining men. persisted that
an. unproved prospect could not be
likened f,o other property which had a
definite, 'measurable' value. - Such a
property might be worth nothing after
many thousand dollars had been ex
pended opening It. and" certainly; there
was no human Intelligence-that could
peer Into-' the ground and say positively
what would tteideveloped In the wiy of
commercial . mineral. A sawmill or
other business Institution occupied a
different position, for It had assets In
sight. . which might be ujed In other
locations. The crosscuts, ' shafts and
arlfts of prospect "could be moved. -"
With such arguments aa these, and
th further one, that no other state of
the great west tiurdena Ita non-produc
tive mining enterprises aa Oregon has,
mining Interest passed the bill In .the
senate with a good majority."
Members of the Oregon Miners' as
sociation have championed thla measure
of relief as th beat that could be bad
at the present time, hut officers have
expressed the determined purpose of
following op the campaign persistently
until the give mining the aame chances
and opportunities la thla atate that It
enjoys In other weatern-mineral dis
tricts. Th association will be more
thoroughly organised. that It can
flgur in th next election a, and win
proceed along more definite and posU
tlv line of action. -
