on property such as other industries
bear. This is where the privileged
conditions of the mines arises. They
paw on earnings no more than what all
other property owners have to pay on
property.
The fact that the mines are ex-
hausted as they are worked is, OF
course, true. But this is one o
reason for putting upon the mines a
heavier tax than upon other property.
The exhaustion of the mines
the exhaustion of the wealth of the
state. After the mines have been
emptied of their ore, the mine owners
will still have their capital, which is
amortized by means of large sinking
funds. But the state which has been
left with an empty cavity in a hill to
remind the people of the wealth of
days gone by and of the loss of rev.
enue which might have been used for
the Improvement of the community.
These considerations have led Mich
igan, Wisconsin, Minnesota and Ari-
IONA to change their methods of mine
taxation. In Michigan the mines are
assessed at their full value on the
basis of a physical valuation made by
mining engineers. In Arizona the
valuation of the mines is obtained by
adding one-eighth of the gross output
and four times the net output of the
previous year. Arizona is now the
leading copper state. In 1915 its
mines produced $40 of the total
copper output of the United States
against 10 per cent produced by Mon.
tana, and II per cent by Michigan
Neither in Arizona mol in Michigan
has the industry suffered as a result
of increased taxation.
However, the methods used in Mich
igan and Arizona are by no means
perfect and need not necessarily bt
copied. The net earnings method car
be so applied as to make it just a!
workable. That could be done in twt
ways. Either the net proceeds SHOULD
be multiplied several times; for in
stance if the net earnings of the nine
last year were twenty-five million dol

MONTANA TAX PROBLEMS

An interesting contribution to the
discussion of inequalities in the Mon
tana tax laws is made by DR.. Louis
Levine, of the state university, in a
series of articles that are being pub
lished by the Missoulian. DR.. Levine
states that the spirit of the law de-
mands that the distribution of taxes
shall assure equality of burden, but
the difficulty consists in framing laws
which will provide for such a proper
tional distribution.
In matters of taxation the con-
stitution exempts the mines from the
operation of those economic laws to
which all other forms of property are
subject. When a homesteader takes
up land and it's value advances, he is
not taxed merely on the price which
he paid to the United States. He is
taxed on the increased value of the
land into which he has put his capital
and labor. His assessment grows with
the growing earning capacity of his
property. But the assessment of the
mine stays at the same price forever.
To offset this, the trainers of the
constitution adopted a tax on net pro-
ceeds. 1t is incorrect to say that the
mines pay a tax on net proceeds in ad-
dition to taxes on the value of the
property. On the contrary, they pay
a tax on net proceeds instead of taxes

ALARM S T NEEDED

The Glasgow Fire Department is
splendidly equipped at present. All
but for one thing, and that is most
vital,-a fire alarm system. Locat-
ing fires after the alarm is given now
is haphazard, resulting in a loss of
time to the iremen and a loss of
property. The city should see that
this part of the fire equipment is
taken care of. It will have many
times the initial cost of purchase and
installation through the property and
possibly lives saved.

SALISBURY Dimes BALFOUR
British Visitors Going to Richmond
This Week.

With the British and French com
missions preparing to leave Wash
inEton, officials of the United States
Government are awaiting the arrival
of ENJOYS from Italy and Russia
with whom war problems confront
ing those countries will be discussed
Several members of the Italian mis-
sion are already in Washington, but
formal conferences regarding the
supplying OF ships and food will not
begin until the entire personnel

ing Petrograd, but are expected in

Foreign Secretary Balfour will be
the guest of honor of a stag din
ner" at the home OF Senator Sauls-
bury Of Delaware, 1901 r street north
west, tonight. All the members OF
the Senate have been invited to at
tend the dinner and participate in
the informal discussions.
SauAbDaEg ACCNpAH OpPOENohAAss
In Capitol circles today there was
comment on the fact that Senator
Salisbury planned the dinner. While
everyone admitted Senator Salisbury
had an ideal dining hall in his home,
is a lavish entertainer, and really
wanted to do honor to Foreign Secre-
tary Balfour, It was strongly inti-
mated that the attitude Senator
Stone, chairman OF the Foreign Re-
lations Committee. has assumed with
regard to the war, put 1t up" to the
Delaware lawmaker to do the
honors."
Courtesy demanded that the Foreign
Relations Committee of the Senate
show its respect and appreciation to
Mr.. Balfour. Because of his pro-Ger-
man attitude, Senator Stone was out
of the question. and the opportunity
OF entertaining the distinguished wish
tor was thus afforded Senator Sauls-
bury.
Arrangements have practically been
completed for Foreign Secretary Bal
four and other members OF the Brit
ish mission to visit Richmond, Va,
either tomorrow or Saturday. The
arrangements have been made by
John SHELTON Williams. Comptroller
of Currency, who is q native OF Rich
