CONGRESS RECOGNIZES
CONDITION OF GOLD
INDUSTRY

Recognizing the depressed condition
of the gold mining industry due to the
fact that production costs have in
/ creased enormously while the price of
gold remains fixed by statute, congress
in the revenue act of 1921 retroa ctively
exempted corporations engaged in the
mining of gold from the excess profits
tax of 1917 on income from gold. These
companies, therefore, whose returns for
1917 showed liability for excess profits
taxes, are now entitled to claim re-
fund of such taxes paid and to abate-
ment of such taxes assessed but re-
naming unpaid
The exemption provided in the 1918
law was made applicable to 1918 and
subsequent years, but through an over
sight was not made retroactive to in
clude 1917. The amendment first pro-
posed in the Senate would have made
the exemption retroactive only in cases
where the 1917 profits taxes have been
assessed but remain unpaid and would
have given relief to companies who
have pair, and the American Mining
Congress, together with others, strong
~ urged that the exemption should not
be so limited, but should be granted to
all
Congress- is thoro lghly familiar with
the gold situation az a result of the
facts adduced during the hearings on
the McFadden Bill. Had not the Nc
Fadden Bill campaign fully educated
members of Congress and the public
generally concerning the deplorable
condition Of the gold mining industry,
it is certain that the exemption would
not have been incorporated in the tax
BILL As evidence of this fact at any
time after the conference report on this
amendment reached the floor of either
the Senate or House of Representatives
it could have been thrown out on a
point of order. No voice was raised in
pposition.-Mining Congress Journal.

sure that she had set my door partly
