Vote To Cut
 Tax On Cigars

WASHINGTON, (H), The House ways and means committee re- versed itself yesterday and voted to cut cigar excises by $l5,000,000 a year.
 The slash, if finally approved, would reduce the $45,000,000 an nual tax on cigar smokers by one third. The committee previously had refused to cut the cigar tax.
 At the same time the committee voted to close tax law 'loophole" which some members estimated has been depriving the govern ment of from $25,OOO,OOO to ESQ., O0O,O00 annually. This was a tech nical amendment dealing with tax deductions taken by dealers in tax-exempt state and municipal bonds.

Gold Reserve Act of 1884. With the approval of the President the Secretary of the Treasury is au- thorized to purchase gold in any amounts, at home or abroad at such rates and upon such terms as he may deem most advantage ous to the public interest any provisions of law as to parity, to the contrary, notwithstanding.
 The Government did this in 1883 under the Presidential order of August 29 and their legal right to do this was confirmed by the opinion of the Attorney General which I have quoted.
 The Government may not yet be ready to grant us the benefit of Step 2, but they may be willing to do SO if we proceed diligently under Step 1. ,.
 Gold mining has had a particu- larly raw deal but it is not the only branch of the mining indus try that is in trouble. Seventy three percent of all metal mines operating in II Western States in 1940, are now closed down. This shutdown is due to world and sectional politics. Much of this could have been avoided if min ing people had been more alert but we have been too much en- gagged in the details of our own affairs and have been inclined to avoid politics.
 That must be changed. Whether we like it or not, we must get into politics and the thousands of peo- pie in our communities must be enlisted to support us. Likewise, the thousands of stockholders in ou renterprises, who now suffer with us, must be alerted to the end that we became articulate.
 We must recognize and support our friends and root out of office those politicians in whom we trusted, but who have helped or permitted the mining industry to be brought down to the desperate level it now holds.

CONFUSING THE PUBLIC

Two news items which appeared in a daily newspa- per not long ago explain the confusion with which the public views certain governmental affairs
 One news item told of the plan of the Veterans Ad- minstraton to construct hospital to cost around $21 100000 and the other told about plans to abandon large Army hospital in the state. Naturally the public wonders why is necessary to build hospital at the very moment that others are being abandoned.
 More than 100000 persons have joined the A1ner- Cancer Society volunteer fighters :. A box of candy usually brings smile to the face of any female regardless of age. We don't expect people to agree with what The Nome Nugget says all the time that would be expecting too much Not all the teams in the big leagues playing like championship base ball should be played and is played some sandlots.

had to be turned into the treasury at $20.67 an ounce.
 But on August 29, the President issued an order that the Secretary of the Treasury was authorized to receive gold recovered from natural deposits in the United States, on consignment for sale, and that "such sales shall be made at a price which the Secretary shall determine to be equal to the best price obtainable in the free gold markets of the world"
 AS this was issued after the criminal order of August 28, it clearly shows that transactions in gold from natural deposits were recognized as private property, entitling gold producers to "just compensation" a dnafairirpc IT, No Basis for Treasury Power
 Over Newly Mined Gold
 It is a long established legal principle that neither Congress not any agency of Government has the right or the power to fix the price at which the Govern ment buys. Maintenance of this principle is fundamental to our freeeconomy.
 The gold regulations are a pro- duct of the Treasury Department and express the manner in which they wish to have things done. They have no legal force or effect if they overstep the power con- veyed by the Gold Reserve Act.
 Tn regulations fix the price and they also fix the compulsion to sell to the Government. They de- ny gold producers the right to sell their gold, processed in its ex- traction, to anyone but mint, or one of their licensed buyers which makes him merely branch of the mint for the purposes of com- pulsory sale.
 The fixing of the price plus the compulsion to sell amounts to the taking of property without just compensation. A definite violation of the fifth amendment of the Constitution. ..
 Justice for Gold Producers
 There are two solutions to our problem.
 Step 1: Proceed against the Government in the courts, with several distinct cases each having a different set of circumstances. We would thus seek a clear-cut decision defining the property rights of gold producers to mine and sell their product. The pre- else questions we are raising have never been before the courts. There are no legal decisions against the gold mining industry. We have accepted the power of Government without question, like a lot of sheep. How much longer will we submit to this?
 Step 2: Cooperate, under a new and honest set of regulations with the Treasury Department, and sell our product to them provided they pay us the current world price. They could do this now, at any time. They have ample au- thority under section 3700 of the

Mining Leader Speaks On Gold As A Commodity

(COntlnued rom Page One) ury department.
 Many economists, sympathetic to the present treasury viewpoint, try to forget that gold is basically a commodity, with continuous and expanding use in private en- terprise. They also forget that all gold deposits are limited in com mercial content. Once exhausted, the mine is permanently out of business. ..
 "I do not think anybody can deny that gold is today the cheap est commodity in world trade. One searches in vain for one other commodity entering prominently into world trade which can still be purchased at prewar prices. The bulk of the world trade in gold is carried on in 1889 prices. South Africa cannot continue to be the bargain basement of the world in order to maintain ex- change stability for the benefit of all."
 Gold Producers Victims of Uncon-
 stitutional Treasury Regulations
 Gold producers are hampered by regulations dating back to that pass laws in spite of doubts as to era when Congress was told to their validity or constitutionality. If the law did not give the New Deal planners the desired freedom of action, this was achieved by a Department order, rule or prac- tice, under pretense Authority.
 There is vast legal difference between newly mined gold, a com modity, and government gold stocks for monetary use. Gold mines are held by their owners by direct grants from the govern ment. Whether as claim location or as patented ground these grants are valid contracts, specifically conveying the gold, and they are property. Rights, acquired against the United States, arising out of contract with it, are protected by the fifth amendment of the Con- stitution which holds that no per son-shall be deprived of proper ty without due process of law, nor shall private property be taken for public use without just compensa- ton.
 Gold Is Private Property
 "All gold mines contain gold in its natural state: that is the con- dition in which the Government granted it to the owners, and that is the condition in which the gold producers find it. In or out of the ground it still remains the private property of the owners. Some gold may be retained in its natural state but usually gold must be processed to insure its recovery and avoid losses.
 "When producer is compelled to yield up any of this processed gold at price fixed by the gov ernment, and is denied the right to seek another purchaser and re- ceive higher price, it is clearly a violation of his property rights guaranteed under the fifth amend ment. ...
 A Banking. Not a Mining Order
 In construing the word "gold," in the first Executive order of 1883, the Attorney General held that this meant "gold coin," "gold bullion," and "gold certificates"
