The three percent —— provision is here to stay, for two more years at any rate. Neither does any of the three measures propose to return the Territory to a net tax basis, as many mining operators have requested. The gross gold tax is to be given further trial. Of course, bills can still be introduced under sus- pension of the rules. But no gold tax bill will enter the arena by this route. Not a third of the members of either house, let alone the two-thirds required for suspension of the rules, would vote to raise the bars for a bill proposing to do anything at all to the present gold tax So what promised at the beginning of the session to be the No. 1 legislative task of the session has been ‘aflcompllmh(’d by leaving well enough alone.
