Htreet UominiMioner Elliott, who it
4l»»o sunlight marshal, had a hpa«rn last
Toeflday, and for once he did hi« duty
in arr«nting George Cramer and C E
Harmon for violating the city ordinance
which forbids bicycle riding on the »ide-
walk in certain part« of the town
This
ordinance Las been violated daily and
we might say hourly, but no arrefli«
made. The C ockier tome tiiwe ago
called attention to thi» ordinance and
-aid that it »hould be enforced, but we
had come to the conclusion that thia offi­
cer could not be kicked into doing hie
police duty, The ordinance is a good
one, and the bicycle, which has been
conHtrued a vehicle, has no bueineae
with it« mounted rider on the sidewalk
where the law forbid« it. The ordinance
waa panaed an a protection to pedestrian»
and not a« a hardahip on wheelmen«
We give Mr. Elliott credit for doing this
part of his duty, even though it be apaa-
modtcally done, and in thia connection
we cannot refrain from calling hi« at ten
tion to tbe many tiniea be baa violated

OUH FINANCIAL CONDITION.
As wan shown by our article of last
week on the county s finances, the assess­
ment« have gradually diminished .Year
by year for the past seven years. The
uovnty’s taxable wealth lies in its farms,
livestock, city property, money, mer­
chandise, manufactu. ing enterprise* etc.
ami if the income on the«e for the pas»
few years is to betaUen as the criterion
lor assessment, then the roll is high, for
the income of some of the above men
tioned has not been more than the ex­
penses, even less in some cases. Though
the income may not have equaled tue
expenses,
nevertheless the burden
which the couuty demands had to be
paid to oil the machinery ot the govern
ment to prevent the wheel« from squeak­
ing, yet at times the squeaking has been
great, and all this had to come from the
sources we have mentioned.
The attractive features of Josephine 1
county’s resources are the mines, where- 1
in are millions untold ami undiscovered
Thousands of dollars are now invested
in them and mining is really in its infan­
cy of developement,especially the quartz
mines, hence we naturally conclude that
many thousands more will seek invest i
ment. More income is taken from this ■
investment than from all other sources
combined
Therein is capital invested
and therein w ill < apitai from outthecoun­
ty seek investment until it may reach the
millions, calling for an increase in popn
iation which must add extra expense to
the county but adding comparatively ,
nothing to the county’s expense fund for j
the reason that mines are not taxable |
property unless they are patented The |
improvements thereon, such as ditches,
buildings, machinery, e'c., are taxable,
but at. present, this as a whole amounts
to but little, but to one or two individil- |
als it may amount to much.
The state has gone as far as it is possi­
ble for it to go in the matter of taxing
mining property, but the i nited states
mining law« pweut anything further.
Under th»* digrfll of drcifl tone rendered
by the federal and state courts and by
the land «lepartmenl we find the follow­
ing pertaining to mine« under the head
of appbcaiion lor a patent: ‘Under th®
ruining laws of the Uniud States, ithe
locator oi a mining claim becomes th®
assignee of the UnitedHtatee, ami aa long
an he complies with the venditions im*
poted by them,ami the licenee to occupy
remain» in force, (he right of the locator
to the p<>ssession of the land, ami to ap*
propria'e to hi« own use the mineral», is
full and complete; and he Dead not take
anv step« to purchase the same uuleflfl he
thinks proj*r ” Fiom this we can plain­
ly see that thousands may be invested In
unpatented < ¡aims not subject to taxa­
tion because they are not deeded proper­
ty. We want to see the mine«developed
ami capital nut into them, for it directly
or indirectly helps everybody in the co n-
munity. li gives the producer a market
for bis products and gives to the met-
chant a sale for his goods.
In brief, it
makes times better. Yet it is but equi­
table ami fair that every man, be be en­
gaged in whatsoever occupation he may
or insert bis capital wherever he like
that he pay his proportionate part oi
