at the start and at the quarter was able
TO show a lead OF three-quartcrs of a

of his attacks.
History of Mine Taxation.
In his speeches the governor pre-
tends to give the history of the adop-
ticn Of the net proceeds system of mine
taxation. He gives the impression that
this theory of mine taxation was first
pvt in force upon the adoption of the
state constitution in 1889. He states
that the mining interests were IN con-
troll of the convention, and by Il mar
row margin succeeded in forcing the
adoption of this system of mine taxa
ton, which he pictures as resulting in
the partial exemption of mining prop
erty from taxation such as that i'm
posed upon other species of property.
a brief reference to the theory of
mine taxation, and the history of its
adoption in Montana will be useful not
alone in demonstrating the further in
accuracy and unreliability of these
speeches, but also the fact that not
alone under the constitutional system
has the mining industry been bearing at
least its share of taxation. but by the
additional burdens put upon it at times
when THE tax receipts were found in
sufficient to meet the appropriations,

mining property has grown up. and Is
now in force in this state:
What the governor terms the met
proceeds system of mine taxation" did
not originate in Montana with the max
ers of the constitution. The legislative
assembly of 1879 took up the problem
of SO assessing and taxing mines and
mining claims as to derive from them

tries of the territory. excepting mining
and stock raising. were comparatively
in their infancy.
1t was obvious that the greater por-
ton of the governmental revenues must
be obtained from the mines, and an
equitable system of taxing them
adopted.
Two Factors Present.
In arriving at such method. two
main factors were presented. The first
arose through the difficulty in the or
binary way of putting q fair. reasonable
and certain value upon a mining claim.
Every one who has had even a casual
observation of mining operations real
ICES that it is a physical ~impossbility
to determine the true, definite value of
a mine until the value of that mine has
been realized and the mine Is ex-
hausted.

iect to taxation in an amount to be

existence.

convention. so far as they are
available in their published form.
disclose this fact and the history
of our mining legislation furnishes
added evidence of the correct
ness.
THE net proceeds of mines were
taxed as other taxable personal
property, and the surface of a
patented mining claim was subject
TO taxation as other taxable rea
estate. When, then, the trainers
of the constitution removed his
species of property from the
exempt to the taxable class, they
must be held to have acted DELHI
erately with the purpose as dis
closed By their debates. of sub
jecting mines and mining claims to
what in their judgment was the
equitable proportion of the burden
of governmental expense"
The governors statement that those
interested in mining controlled the con-
stitutional convention and succeeded in
adopting this system of mine taxation
by a narrow majority, and the i'm
preston that he gives that this Is the
inception of this system of taxation,
are erroneous.
The report of the proceedings of
the constitutional convention show
that this portion of u revenu sec
tons of the constitution was adopted
by a large majority, and. in fact, that
there was little serious controversy
over the matter. In fact. substantially
this system of mine taxation had been
adopted by the territorial legislative
assembly by an act approved February
I. 1879. so that at the time OF the
adoption of the constitution this sys-
tenn of mine taxation had been operat-
ing successfully, and apparently in q
manner acceptable to the people or
Montana, for q period of more than
ten years
Mining Bears Greatest Tax Burden
Those unfamiliar with the operation
of the mine taxation laws of Montana
will be surprised to learn that the con-
stitutional system has never been fol
lowed in practical operation. but that
at all times since the adoption of the
system. a substantially greater burden
has been cast upon the mining in
dustry.
Under the provisions of the consti-
tuition and the enforcing statutes a d
opted. n mine is first assessed at the
government price, Before the adoption
of the classification law, adopted ii
1910. other classes of property were
usually assessed on an average o. 81
per cent of full value. AS the mining
Claims were assessed at 100 per cent
OF the government price, and Other
property at not to exceed on an aver
age of 80 per cent. it will readily be
| seen that the result was a tax levy
upon the mining claim three and one
third times that contemplated by the
| constitution and the law.
Next, under the constitution. if thu
| surface of the mining claim has value
for purposes other than mining. and II
