THE NE1V TAX LA1V. As there seems to he a good deal of misapprehension on the subject, we give a summary of thcrtaxlaw, approved July 1 4th 1870, so far as it relates to internal taxation. It reduced the tax on diidends of in- corporated hanks, trust companies, sa vings institutions, insurance, railroad, steamboat, canal, turnpike, slack-wategas, coal, mining, bridge, and manufacturing companies from 5 to 2 per cent; and abolished the tax on salaries of Government officers, except as they might be liable a income, to take effect on the first day of August, 1870. It abolished the taxes on sales, except those paid by stamps, and those on sales of leaf and manufactured tobacco, cigars, snuff, wines and liquors ; on carriages, watches, billiard tables, gold and r, silver plate, boats, barges, flats, legacies, successions, passports, and gross receipts ; the stamp tax on all receipts, transfers of. mortgages, when they, or the instruments they secure, hare been once duly stamped, notes for less than one hundred dollars, and on canned and preserved fish all these changes to take effect on the 1st day of October, 1870. It abolished the special tax on bankers, wholesale and retail dealers, lottery-tickdealers, horse dealers, livery stable keepers, brokers, pawnbrokers, produce-brokerbrokers, et land-warra- cattle-broker- custom-house-broker- nt s, s, coal-oi- s, l OWNS THE LANDS WEST OF BEAR. IUVEXL t Not long since we' referred to the incubus of uncertain - titles which resfe upon and deadens enterprise in txnneC-tio- n with railroad lands in this vicinity. Upon inquiry at headquarters, we find it uot so bad as we thought, although it is bad enough. Gen. Dodge, who holds all the Uuion Pacific Railroad lands in trust, writes us : u As I understand it, the .lands west of Bear River, odd sections, belong to the C. P. R. II. This docs not include the lands in Corinne, bought by our Company, nor the lands held by me or Gen. Williamson as Trustee. They, however, are but a small amouut. s Mr. Davis, Land Commissioner of the U. P. Road, writes : The agreement made between the two companies April 9 th, 1869, for the ImrPO;S0 of settling all existing controversies fixing the place of meeting, etc., provides That the Central Pacific Railroad shall dfaw the bonds and have the allowed by law on all that part of the truck from the terminus westward, on condition that they shall pay to the f the net proceeds Union Road 0f up lands up to Bear River. This is not very specific, but my impression is that it wa3 intended that the net proceeds of the lands from the terminus westward to Bear River should le divided between the two reads, and from Bear lllyer westward the Central Road to own the That is certainly, it seems to lands. us, the only construction the language of the agreement will fairly bear it is the construction that would be sure to be given it should it ever get before the Courts for adjudication. My judgment is, however, that the lands under the grant fall to the Union Pacific as far west as Promontory Point, and are covered by the Trust deed ; (to Gen. Dodge as Trustee in trust) and that the proper way to obtain title is for the Union Pa-- , cific to enter the lands, and then convey and release (trust) mortgage to the Central Pacific. The words in parenthesis are ours. From this letter it seems-tus clear that the Union Pacific has no legitimate claim to the lands west of Bear River, and that consequently a title from the Central Pacific would be perfect. Doubtless, however, until the Union Pacific gets the patents and turns them over to the other Company, the latter will not dispose of them at all, and so we have nothing to do at last but wait sub-sid- y one-hal- o distillers, hotel keepers, eating-houspatekeepers, confectioners, connt-right dealers, agents, office keepers, veyancers, intelligence foreign insurance agents, auctioneers, peddlers, apotheca mtiently.
