Rates Charged

AS already indicated, the rates vary
greatly.
In Wisconsin where the severance
tax was introduced chiefly to encour-
age better forestry, the revenue was
almost nil in 1850; in 1851 it was nil
The revenue is expected when removal
is begun-at the rate of 1919 of the
stumpage value. Thus if the stumpage
value is $40 per M, and the rate is
40 or 81, the state expects to get
its investment returned and have the
preserved forests to boot.
Other states not so insistent of con-
sorvation realize more revenue:
Virginiat: Toe per M board feet, sc
per cord, lie per 100 Lin. feet of min
ing timber, 1/3 cent per tie (cross-
ties)
Arkansas charges loo per M board
feet other timber produces 40 of
market value. Mississippi charges 6 %
per standard cord of pulpWood, 1870
on logs, cross-ties, and veneer stock.
Minerals
Idaho charges 3 60 of net value of
metaliferous ores, minerals and coal;
Louisiana loo per ton of coal; Michi-
gan 2R of gross market value on oil
and gas; Mississippi 60 of value of
oil at point of production; Oklahoma
81 on gas and oil; Tennessee SC per
so gallon barrel of oil, SO of value
of gas; Utah charges II of metali-
ferrous ore sold.

Fifth in a Series)

The severance tax, better called the
natural resources tax, is relatively a
newcomer in the field of taxation. To
many, it is unfamiliar and also mean
ingless.
Yet, during the last twenty-five or
thirty years, its development and
spread has placed it in the class of
major sources of revenue in many
states. Texas for instance, during the
year 1851, raised 81 plus per cent of
its revenue by means Of this tax;
Louisiana nearly 21%; Oklahoma 10
plus per cent, and Michigan more than
per cents
Since the natural resources tax is
especially suited for states in which
the extractive industries loom large,
the story of its beginning is not sur
prising.
The first state to experiment with
this tax was Michigan in 1916. Other
states followed: Pennsylvania 1874,
West Virginia 1907, Texas 1907, Okla
homa 1908, Louisiana 1910, Kentucky
1917, Alabama 1919, and Wisconsin
1927.

National values. Wisconsin's law is
case in point. It's intent was to as

forestry by individuals In the north

over land had become tax delinquent.
Neither the counties nor individuals
were willing to take title. The law
The people's voice. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1939-1969, 1954-10-22

then provided that 1Oc per acre should
be the maximum assessment to be
paid by the owner.
To meet the need for revenue, the
state pays another 10c per acre. The
combined zoe per acre is then divided
between school districts, county and
township. Later, to encourage counties
to take title to tax delinquent land,
the law provided that the county too
could enter its land under the cons
