Shall Dual System OF
Taxation In Montana
Be Longer Tolerated?

Notwithstanding the express provision of Section 200l
of the Revised Codes, "All taxable property must be asses
sed at its full cash value" the mineral wealth of Montana
has for the past 35 years been able to escape its just share
of the burden of government by reason of the fact that
the big mining interests Of Montana were powerful
enough in the convention called to formulate the State
Constitution in 1889 to insert the famous provision that
mines should only be assessed for taxation on the met
proceeds" plus five dollars per acre value for the surface
ground and the value of the surface improvements. This
provision was inserted in the draft of the State Constitu-
ton by the combined efforts of the Clark and DAILY forces
and over the protest and votes of the delegates from the
agricultural sections of the territory.
The great mining interests were powerful enough to
insert similar provisions in the constitutions of several of
the mining states of the west, but with the development Of
agriculture, all of these western mining states have long
since repealed the unfair provisions except Nevada and
Idaho.
Under the present Arizona tax law, mines are assessed
at four times the value of net proceeds, plus one-eighth of
the total value of the gross proceeds.
Michigan taxes its copper mines on the full cash value.
the same as all other forms of wealth.
New Mexico on the full net value of the ore, with
no deduction for milling, smelling, transportation, repairs
or depreciation of smelters or selling expenses.
In Montana all these deductions are made from the
value of the ore.
The one express purpose of the bill which it is now
proposed to initiate by petition and submit to the voters
OF Montana IN November is not to increase taxation, but
to equalize the burden between agriculture, business and
mining SO that each form of property shall bear its same
prOpOrtlon-nO more and no less.

duction tax on its iron ore denoc;+S
More than SO per cent of the stool
in these Montana mines in owned
and held by non-residents of Mon.
tana. Why should not these non.
residents pay exactly the same fair
proportion of the cost of government
in Montana on the mineral wealth
owned by them as we, who live here
in Montana pay on our farms. live
stock, banks, homes and other busi-
ness investments.
A tax of one per cent on gross
production will neither hamper. crip-
pie nor destroy any legitimate min

equalize the present tax burden and

veloped in congress of late for {
special tax reduction measure which
would apply to returns for the cal
endar year 1928. Those in charge
of fiscal legislation in the Senate
and House believe that the major
tax revision plan must take into con-
sideration the necessity of providing
revenue to meet the Bonus bill. Sen
ator Smoot, chairman of the Sen
ate Finance committee, and several
House leaders believe that the an
ticipated veto by the President will
be overridden by a two-thirds vote
of both houses. The view is express
sed that it will be decidedly helpful
to enact tax legislation before the
convention in June. The proposed
special measure advocated by the adj
ministration would allow a reduction
of 25 per cent in the returns for the
past year.
Higher Postage Asked
The question for providing reve-
u for various legislative measures
as now pending, is absorbing the
attention of the Treasury and Post
Office departments. The Postmaster
General has submitted several sug-
gestions to the joint committee on
Postal Salaries as to additional sour
ces of The administration
that the proposals to increase
the rates on all classes of newspapers
and magazines and on parcel post
are merely suggestions made in re-
to the demands of the con-
gressional committee and + not to
be construed as recommendations.
According to estimates of the Post
Office department, it will be neces-
to raise $150,000,000 a year.

The requirements of the Kelly-Edge
bill for a blanket increase averag-
NO $500 a year to 100000 postal
employees.
An adjusted compensation bill de-
signed to remove inequities In graf
lities now paid veterans of the sew
,ral wars has passed the Senate.
During the debate claim was made
" Senator Reed, Republican, of
Pennsylvania, that the bill would alb
orb o~ne-eighth of the amount of the
stimated tax reduction. The SEN
tie, however, voted 81 to 10 in ia
or of the measure.
New Attorney General
The appointment of Harlan f.
,tone as Attorney General of the
United States, to succeed Harry M.
)augherty, brings out the question
s to what changes will be made in
