In this connection. the first ques-
ton that m up IS, why Is net
output n measure OF mineral value 2
Tho answer. without going into great
scientific and detail discussion. Is
plain. What are the uncertainties
which made the guess OF tho assessor.
under the law of 1914, absurd? I
viii repeat them. Tho minerals can't
be seen or touched; the future price
OF minerals can't be determined. the
future market for the minerals can
not be determined; the future cost
OF labor and material canno be de-
tcrminod. Now II you tax mineral In
tho ground, without regard to these
things, YOU are. unfair, and Will likely
tax II out OF economic existence. This
is what the assessors guess might
lead to. For example. if you tax tho
land at a high value FOR mineral con-
tents for a period OF years, over
though its market value and the cost
OF labor and material remain the
same. the tax bill will wipe out any
possibility Of a profit, and, hence
any possibility OF extraction. Again
a fall in the market. a destruction IN
the market, or n rise In the cost OF
labor and material may wipe out any
present possibility OF profit, and max,
extraction not only improbable, buI
impossible. Now these uncertain Gle.

Lot us examine the 1915 law to SEQ
Il II took these three things into cone
s%ideration. and, II It did, wo must
necessarily conclude that II is pro-
gressive.
The net output law takes these nee
essary facts into account, ms already
shown, by permitting a deduction OF
certain expenses from the gross. The
gross represents the market value
or the product; deductions represent
the cost OF labor and material and
] transportation. Further than this.

an output basis. There is no output,
either net or gross to use az a meas
uro Of value. So the law was made
to apply to producing only. Tho
method OF valuing non-producing
land was left the same simply be-
cause there IL no other method. The
question as to the value OF ron-prO-
duclng lands has been raised in some
quarters but that IL entirely a sep
crate matter and time will not per-
nit mo to say but little about II here.
/ will however make ono ubserva-
ton. Il appears to be generally
agreed among persons making a
study OF the matter, that the fact
that lands situated aN considerable
distance from transportation are un-
underlain with coal. or contain other
mineral. adds but little or anything
to It's actual value from n taxing
standpoint. This is especially true
where existing producing mines, To-
Gated on the railroads. are adequate
to care for the available market and
the outlying lands win not and can
not be mined for many years to come.
To tax such mineral would simply
make II impossible for anyone TO
W Il and conserve IL for the future
use in future years. The tax bill fof
a series Of years in many cases would
mount to more than the minern
was worth. This same idea Is held by
