commission In arriving at the taxable value of utilities was submitted Thursday to Irwin Amovitx commission chairman by John D Rice assistant attorney generaL The commission was criticised recently by Dr Herbert B Maw candidate for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination who contended that the valuation fixed by the public service commission for rate making should be used in determining the taxable value The rato-bas- e of utilities has always been somewhat higher than the tax base Cites Decisions Mr Rice said that opinions on the subject from the courts Including the United States supreme court are all against Dr Maw’s contention and that the tax commission has been following the intent both of the court decisions and the Utah law "It is my opinion” Mr Rice said "that the state tax commission Is not required to assess public utility property solely upon the value upon which the utility is entitled to earn a fair return as determined by the public service commission of the state of Utah but that the state tax commission may consider not only such value but other factors which are commonly used and approved by decisions of the courts in determining the value of utility properties” Confusion Exists The assistant attorney general pointed olit that "considerable confusion exists as to the methods used by tax commissions in arriving at the value of public service and corporations" added: "At times It leads states to attempt by legislation to require that valuation as determined for rate cases shall be used for tax purposes the contention being that It is unfair for the state to have one valuation for one pur-- 1 pose and another' valuation for another purpose While that may seem rational on its face the excerpts quoted from the (court) cases show that the courts do not accept this theory “The purpose of a value for rate making is to find the cost of the property that is the Investment to carry on the business In taxation the purpose of the valuation Is to ascertain the market value that is the actual value And that depends upon many other factors than simply the ascertainment of the value for rate purposes" Mr Rice said that the provision of the Utah etatute relative to fixing taxable values "shows that the legislature did not intend any different application than that laid down by the courts of the United States" j T ribune Junior Silver

FRIDAY MORNING City Approves Fountain Site Methods Protested by Mines and Totals $530000000 Utilities After receiving an opinion Thursday from the attorney general upholding its valuation methods the state tax commission announced its final assessment for Utah mines and utilities The figure is $196096713 com- an pared with $180567758 last year asincrease of $15528955 When sessments of other types of property made by county assessors are added the total assessment of the state will be brought up to approximately $530000000 Last year’s assessment was $517524856 The final mine and utility assessment is $1024288 lower than the tentative assessment placed by the commission several teeeks ago Since that time protests from individual utilities have been heard and several adjustments made but most of them were downward as the figures The final figure on other assessments will not be fixed until after the equalization period Cases in Court Approximately $10000000 in mine assessments are under protest and all4 or party of this may be lost to the assessment rolls depending on what action is taken in the courts About $7000000 of this is Utah Copper company valuation which the company claims was fixed illegally The issue now is being fought out in federal court and it is possible that the case will finally go to the United States supreme court About $2500000 of the assessment placed on the United States Smelting Refining and Mining company also is under protest The versy here between the company and the tax commission involves a difficult' point of law which also may have to go to the courts for a final determination In fixing the value of a mine for taxation purposes a figure equal to three times net proceeds of the prefacceding year is an tor In arriving at net proceeds the law allows the company to take certain deductions one of which is the cost of milling the ore Protest Deductions The United States Smelting Refining and Mining company owns a mine at Bingham and the ore from this mine is milled at the company's plant in Midvale The company has established a schedule of milling costs for its own ore and the tax commission claims that the schedule is too high Therefore according to the commission too great a deduction is allowed if the company’s figures are accepted What the commission did In arriving at this year's assessment on the company was to fix an actual-co- st schedule which of course reduced the deduction and raised the assessment The mining company vigorously has opposed the commission’s method of arriving at the -- milling schedule The assessment placed on nil mines this year is $60199054 which is nearly $1000000 less than tqe tentative assessment fixed Several weeks ago Last year’s mine assessment was $46038695 The increase over last year is due to an improvement in the metal mine industry and a consequent increase in the net proceeds In only one class of utilities — power companies — did the commission make an increase between the time of the tentative and final assessments The first valuation ‘ placed on power companies was Investigation as to the feasibility $29565441 and the final valuation of a tunnel between Draper and Al- is $29775421 The latter figure compine to shorten the proposed aque- pares with a valuation last year of duct between Deer creek to Salt $28992300 an increase of $783121 Lake

teleph6ne companies telegraph companies water companies and mines were reduced between the tentative and final assessments but on only three of these classes— express companies railroads and water companies— is the final assessment this year below that of last year The decrease in the total railroad ’assessment is due entirely to a drop in the valuation placed on the Western Pacific and the
