It would certainly prove a Reed in vestment, aud tho Hituatlou piesenta an attractlro Hold for the man or coniMMiy who baa tho capital to iiudortako tho outorpriHO. The district attorney at Portland, at tbo roiiorit of the Mocrotary of state, an provided by law, has iustl tilled proceeding against two Indus trial companies there, to force tho collection of tho annual license fee Imposed by tho oIiiioxIoum Kddy bill 011 oorporatioiiri.

Ab stated In The Minor Bovoral days hIuco. It la the opinion of lawyors here, that in ciibo of mining companies, tbo tho law can bo uiilllOod for auothor reason; that tho captlal stock of a mining compiiny Ih no indox to tho valuo of tbo property owned, aud that em - Htituttoiuil taxation intiHt noccHHarily bo based on Home Bysteni of propor tional valuation. Ono point, which oomn to have boon ovcrlookod uud which The Miner thinks will play an Important part, should tho law-be upheld and tho state attempt to force collection of the tax. It Is this; a very large per cent of tho properties owned by mi til lift companies, probably ulnoty, aro nut patontod and, accord I or to national aud Htate laws, In order to retain title it is nocesHary to do a certain amount of work annually. HuppoHo a cnpniaiiy rofiiHOH to pay tho fee, falls to do tho assessment work and resorts to that method, which Ih known to have been practiced in some districts, relo cation, how iIooh tbo stnto proposo to collect? If it takes posbobbIou of 11 claim while the company's title is u 11 1 in pill red, It will havo to tlo that work itself, In order to bold tho claim aud ciihIi in. That pro cedure would bankrupt the slato in llvo years. In the Unlit of all theso facts aud Ihoorios. It would seem that a ntlu-In- company would bo throwing money away to pay that unjust tax.
