PRESENT MINE TAXES FAIR.

appearing before the Senate Com
mittee on Taxation when the pro-
posed occcupational tax of 6 per cent
recently passed by the house was
under consideration, j. G. Armson,
member of the State Tax Commission
declared that the present method of
taxing mining properties is the best
in the United States, and that the
commission is able to reach a stair
and equitable" tax levy on iron ore.
81 am convinced that Minnesota
is far in advance of any other state
in the union," Mr.. Armson said.
Measured by the methods which we
use ore bodies are assessed as closely
to the so per cent valuation flxed by
law as farm properties are to the SO
per cent or city real estate to the
40 per cent fixed by law. We can
determine the value of undeveloped
ore bodies as fully and as accurately
as we can determine the value OF
farm property"
