A TAX UPON THE BULLION
Mexico Proposes a New Scheme to
Raise Revenue
Silver and Gold Bars Are to Be Assessed at
Retio by tho Sister Republic.
Ratio Of Taxation

WASHINGTON, May 22.-Word reaches
Washington that Mexico is about to
adopt new plan for raising revenue by
taxing all silver and gold mines in which
American capital is heavily interested.
Financial Minister Lymantour first sug-
gested the plan to the budget committee
and the latter accepted it and presented
it TO the chamber of deputies as part of
the federal revenues for the current year.
The proposed tax is estimated in the
budget to yield 1925, 900. which makes
it the third item of importance in the
Mexican revenues, being exceeded only
by customs and internal revenues or
stamp tax.
The new law i, to be called an ''extrac-
tion tax" 1t is 2H per cent on silver
and 81 on gold. 1t is to be paid on every
species of the twosprecious metals. rough
or refined. The collection is to be made at
the metalurgical offices of such metals as
are for local use. and at the port of export
on metals sent abroad. This extraction
tax is in addition to the charge for mint
ing or coming. There are no exemptions,
even in the cases OF the special mining
concessions or zones, granted by the gov
eminent.
Another prospective change affecting
American interests is likely to result from
the silver lead ore item of the last
United States tariff act. II is not i'm :
probable that the old American rate OF
one-half cent per pound on the lead con-
taineo in silver lead ore will be REIN :
posed by Mexico.
The rate was reduced to three .fourths
of cent per pound by the United States
act. A provision was added that in case
a foreign country should impose an i'm
port duty upon silver ores containing lead
exported to the United States from such
country, then the duty upon such ores.
when imported from such country. shall
remain as fixed by the law in force prior
to the passage Of tn is act. 1t is under
this provision that the Mexican law is
likely to be changed.
