10 TAX COAL INDUSTRY
Bill Proposes q License Tax Of Cen,
Per Ton.

Senator l.. w. Arnett has intro
duced a bill in the State Senate which
provides for tax OF one cent per
ton on each ton OF coal mined In
the commonwealth either by indivi-
duals. firms. associations or corpora
tons.
The bill provides that the tax is
To be paid after the coal is disposed
OF and on tho sworn statement Of
the owner as to the amount.
In letter to The Citizen enclosing
copy OF the bill Mr.. Arnett says
that the revenues of the state are
not sufficient to dcfray the expenses
OF the Government and provide for
necessary improvements. He sights
the demands within the last six
years upon the state for the improve
ment OF schools. farmers institutes,
care and maintainance OF asylums, the
now state capital. the support Of the
state board Of health, etc. and speaks
OF the new and increasing demands
that must be met II the state keeps
In tho van OF progress.
In defense OF the bill he maintains
that tho coal industry is practically
untaxed. inasmuch as the mines are
often owned by outside spectators
and operators. It being impossible to
fix value on the coal In the mine.
The land OF the poor fellow who has
sold the mineral rights Is usually as
sessed from 50 to $40 per acre. while
the operator makes millions and es-
capes practically without taxation.
About fifteen million tons of coal
are mined In Kentucky annually and
three fourths OF II Is shipped out
Of the state. This would produce a
revenue To the state, at one cent per
ton. OF $4,000. on the present fig
ures. but the industry will increase
and in few years DO much more
than doubled.
Another argument in favor Of this
bill is that while the state must have
more revenues. the tax rate of far
mcrs. businessmen and other citizens
has been increased from year to year
until It has now reached the limit.
while, as said above. this source OF
wealth has practically escaped with
out taxation and escaped to other
states, and ought to be made to
bear its portion Of the burdens of the
commonwealth.
The Citizen sees no reason why this
bill should not meet with approval
throughout the state. IL may be ex-
pected to find opposition among the
mine owners and operators, but tho
over-burdenod farmers and othes
ought TO hail its passage with de-
light.
