A War Tax on Rand Mines

~ N a final statement made in the House of Com
mons ON Wednesday night the British chan
cellor of the exchequer said one of the hrst
matters TO be considered the determlna
tion Of how the revenues derived from the mineral
wealth of the Transvaa could be allotted so as to pro-
vide interest on portion of the war debt The enron
co surmised that the provision in the terms OF peace
relieving land property from special taxation Wouu
not exempt these mining properties The statement
Of Sir Mcheal Hicks Beach makes no concealmeht Oh
tho sintention, which is to mposea specmi
fax ON mineral products equal probably to the pro
RATA of te cost of the conduct of the war in the Trans
vool colony. Coal and gold at present the two
mineral productions of the colony. The gold mines OF
tbe Rand are of course, the largest producers ana
hov will therefore, be forced to bear the brunt OF the
tax
The latter is something in the nature Of retrlDu-
ton These cold mines were undeniably the cause OF
tbo war The avariciousness bred by their develop
mont excited the national greed for the absolute con
troll Of the territory in which they lie 1t is only right
that they should pay the penalty which its acquisition
has cost The owners Of these mining properties were
tbaloudestin their complaints against the BOergoVe
nant and it's methods Their insistent clamorngs for
relief for their alleged grievances famed the war
,nirit into an active flame The was conducted III
their interest Manifesty they should pay or It, ot
course they raised a tremendous protest against the
intimation which the chancellor of the eXchequer"ue
some time ago when advocating new war grant, t"V
the mining properties would have to recoup the BRUSH
treasury for the enormous outlay it was making III
their behalf The protest has been unavailing
The imposition of special tax WILL doubtless
be unpopular in the Rand district but 1t VIII
strengthen the government with the British people
What will be the nature of the tax remains TO DE uls
closed 1t will probably be in the form OF PercehE
age ON the value of the output The latter will amount
TO about 900 this year. and next year 1t may
reach S1OO 100000, which was the maximum annua
outnut when war was declared The government eX'
pects of course a big revival in exploitation also as
a result Of peace and the opening of new productive
properties The fact that Parliament is asked to re-
sumo the sinking fund indicates, also, that large rev
enues are expected to be drawn from this source
