Minnesota Plan Approved
By Leader of the House
Congressman Tilson Writes Ru-
dolph Lee Farm Relief Sugges-
tiona Practical

Congressman John @. Tilson, re-
publican floor leader in the house,
has studied the Minnesota plan for
farm equality and is favorably i'm.
pressed with most of its features,
he says in a letter made public
Monday by thexditors sponsoring
the plan. ~
The statement in, Mr.. Tilson's
letter is hailed by the Minnesota
plan sponsors as the most i'm,
portant and significant response
yet. AS a majority leader he will
have a leading part in any legis.
lation proposed Ut this session o,
the coming extra session.
The Connecticut congressman
letter was sent to Rudolph Lee OF
Long Prairie, author of the plan,
who has been acting as chairman OF
the 60 editors VINO launched the
Minnesota plan on December 49,
The letter follows:
81 thank you for sending
a copy of the suggestions for
concrete efforts by congress
in behalf of farm relief, en-
bodied in the Minnesota plan,
and wish to assure you that
/ have read with genuine in
terest all of the proposals of
this plan.
Although hailing from
part of the country distant
from Minnesota, l wish to say
that I find myself in agree
ment with most of the propo-
sitions contained in this plan
and in entire accord with the
spirit and principle of the
proposed plan. For instance,
as to the tariff, I find that
there is no difference in prin-
ciple between the tariff in
Minnesota and the tariff in
Connecticut. / am also in ac-
cord with the provisions re-
lating to research and for
continued efforts to reduce
costs of production, the crea-
ton of a federal farm board,
continued support and aid in
the development of coopera-
tive marketing, and the recog-
milton of the growing need
for cheap fertilizer. In fact
the plan carries a number of
suggestions that seem to me
might be most helpful.
"With best wishes, I
remain,
every sincerely yours,
"John @. Tilson."

suggestions in our Minnesota plan

leader as Congressman Tilson is

Lee said Monday.

the present tax on crude oil, because
the Benjamin proposal covers refinee
metal, including Tabor, railroad
freight and other expenses. The An
aconda company, he said, has pad
$6,S00,000 in taxes in five years.
Mr.. McHugh sketched the rise and
decline of Phillipsburg. The town died
in 1898, he said, but with the manga
nese industry reviving, the camp is
fast coming back to life. The Moor
light Company he said paid 20 per
cent of its net profits in taxes. The
proposed tax would stifle Granite
County. Mr.. Kramer declared the
East Butte had lost in four years
$669,000 but had paid taxes of $685.
900
The speakers made such an impress
sion on the members of the legisla-
ture that it was conceded immediate
" after the hearing that the pro-
posed tax measure was dead. Most
of the mining men left that evening
or the following morning for their
homes.
What Present Tax is.
At present, mining companies In
Montana pay five taxes. There Is no
gross production tax for companies
whose total output is less than $780,
900. They pay one-fourth of one per
cent on the amount between S10O,0Oe
and $200, 600; one-half of one per cent
on the amount between 100000 and
s400, 900; three-fourths OF one per
cent on the additional amount up to
100000, and one per cent on the out
put over half million.
They also pay a net proceeds taA
levied by the county: tax on mining
claims assessed at 50. an acre; tax
on buildings and equipment at what
ever it valuation may be; and cor.
poration tax; In addition to the fed.
eral income taxes.
Mining men present at the Helena
conference were jubilant over the out
| look for mining in Montana the cur
rent year, assuming that the tax bur
den was not to be increased. New
capital is being attracted to the state
they pointed out, and the present act
which exempts companies with less
than 100000 annual output from any
production tax, has had the effect o.
encouraging outside capital taking VI
| Montana properties.
At present heavy snowfall Whlcf
has badly drifted makes many OF tn
smaller mines inaccessible, but tner'
is every reason to expect that mum
Der of new properties will be opened
| in the spring in the Helena, Marys
| vile. Neihart, Phillipsburg, Sheridan
Virginia City and other districts.
There were number of engineer
representing mining companies out
| side of Montana who attended tn
legislative hearing as interested .spec.
tators. The defeat Of the BENJAMIN
tax proposal shortly afterward wa
communicated to their companies an
is expected to have marked ei1ee
on the influx Of new capital With

The total expenditures of the enter
prise, he said, had been more than
100000 and it never paid divI-
dend; in fact it has been in receiver
ship for number of years and the
stockholders put up 100000 to keep
the property.
The St. Joseph Lead, Mr.. Gum
stated, would never have entered the
Montana field and constructed the
railway from Monarch to Hughes
vile if the Benjamin act had been
operative. The st. Louis Mining q
Milling Company, after losing money
on its years operations, would have
been required to pay a tax of $1,000.
Mr.. Gum said. There would be no
state of Montana without the mining
industry, Mr.. Pew stated. The east
ern half, from which the cry for high
er mine taxation arises, would lose
the market for its farm products of
fered by the western half of the state
if the tax were operative. Mining
which made Montana state, died
down in the 90's, but is now being
revived, he stated.
Build New Industries.
Mr.. Ropes declared the proper
method of getting additional revenues
is to build up new industries for the
state. Increase of taxation at this
time will stop development of Mon,
tana's mineral resources. he said.
Dan Kelly declared that the pro-
posal puts an unusual burden on tae
metal mining industry and that nc
basis of comparison exists for the
proposed tax on metal output with
