eve are trying to establish a
fair valuation on other proper
ties," Mr.. Becker said, while
minerals have escaped. Millions
of dollars of minerals are being
extracted without paying one
cent of taxes" He cited figures
to show how much more tax
burden is placed on gas and oil
than on coal.
Many Of the county officials,
including auditors from IA coun-
ties, with their treasurers and
chairmen of boards of county
commissioners, backed up the
tax experts statements. While
they have been decrying the
situation, none felt that he could
individually, inaugurate sys-
tenn to tax escaping mineral
wealth.
To date, millions of dollars of
coal brought for production in
Ohio is untaxed as such, except
in some instances when it nears
production. One farm, for ex-
ample, recently sold for $4,000
but was left on the tax duplicate
for $4,000. One county has start
ed what is considered a bold plan
by taxing its active coal--that to
be mined within years--at a
$3.50 an acre valuation. At a 20
million rate this would bring
$40 a year, or less than one
mill per ton. Inactive coal is tax
ed at $72 an acre. An acre of
strip mined coal, in the pit, is
worth we'll over $4,000.
County officials present here
discussed the proposal of Mr..
Becker, all favoring its objective
but concerned with local details.

following argument to present
for its consideration:
"Mr. Chairman and members
of the Committee, l appreciate
the opportunity of appearing be-
fore you this morning to urge
your favorable consideration of
H. R. 5719. This bill, which l in
troduced last year, provides that
in the cases of veterans develop
ing arthritis, psychoses, or null
tiple sclerosis within three years
after their separation from active
duty, it will be presumed that
the disability was incurred or
aggravated by military service.
The bill also provides that the
degree of disability must be 1919
or greater.
81 know, Mr.. Chairman, that
legislation of this nature has
been considered by your Com
mittee in the past. In studying
the record of such previous meas
ures, it is my understanding that
the Committee has been favor
ably disposed toward these pro-
posals.
Il believe that in justice to
those of our disabled veterans
who are in need of the benefits
this bill will provide, it should
be favorably reported during the
present session of Congress.
1T was recognized many
years ago that to fairly evaluate
veterans disabilities, it was nec-
essary to presume the possibility
of service-connection for certain
chronic diseases whose origins
and causes in Individual cases
are not firmly established. For
instance, in the case of arthritis,
diagnosticjans have concluded
that it is virtually impossible to
approximate a date to establish
the onset of the disease. 1t is ap-
parent, however, that arthritis is
slow to manifest its disabling and
crippling effects, often involving
the passage of years before even
a 1870 disability occurs.
Mr.. Chairman, l recognize that
this leads us to medical questions
wherein we must depend upon
the counsel of physicians. Never
theless, we have been informed
that arthritis is thought to result
from the very conditions which
are the common lot of the men in
The journal. (Caldwell, Ohio) 1934-1961, 1956-03-29

similar issue on gas and oil. That
decision said that it was legal
for auditors to require state
ment of production as an ele-
ment in determining valuation
of any type of mineral. Becker
further stated that mine opera
tors determined the values of
their mines on production.
In the auditors session follow
ing Mr.. Becker's talk, Auditor
Joe Yoder of Stark county NOV
ed that the chairman, host Audi
tor Glenn R. Mickey of Harrison
county, who had called the meet
ing, name a committee of five to
draw up definite plan; that it
be submitted to the next district
meeting of county auditors and,
if approved, then be submitted
to the auditors of all 88 counties,
to cover all minerals mined.
This was passed with the pro-
viso that the final approved plan
be given to the State Tax Board
with the agreement by it that it
would enforce tax appraisals
under the system of production
valuations. Edward F. Sawicki,
Chairman of the Board of Tax
Appeals, who attended the meet
ing, said he could not make such
promise before the final plan
was approved, but indicated that
the board probably would back
the state auditors recommended
tons.
The first step will be the nam
ing of the committee for five by
Auditor Mickey soon.

our armed services. Prolonged
exposure to cold and wet wealth
er which most servicemen have
experienced must be regarded as
a casual factor in this disease
for some men who suffer from it
in later life. 1t would seem en-
tirely proper to assume that such
conditions would seriously aggra-
vate tendencies toward arthritis
in men already susceptible to the
disease.
Under these circumstances, l
firmly believe that the present
regulations which provide a pre-
sumption of service connection
for arthritis occurring within one
year following a veterans return
to civilian life are inadequate.

ing from this disease in my own

gible.
Auditor c. R. Atkinson, Treas.
urer A. R. Hicks and Commits
sioner Franz McNutt represented
Noble County.
AS result of this meeting and
from recommend ms that
might come from it, all of Ohio
may find large new source
of revenue from the production
of its mineral wealth--to date,
largely untaxed.
Fred F. Becker, of Columbus,
head of the Division of County
Affairs for the tax board, pro-
posed novel plan, which he
said could operate under present
laws, whereby coal and other
minerals would be valued on
production only, the same as oil
and gas have been taxed for
years.
Coal would be placed on the
tax duplicate as it is produced,
Mr.. Becker suggesting that $3.50
a ton under present market con-
ditions would be fair valua-
ton. At the average tax rate in
all the coal producing counties,
this would have brought in an
additional revenue of $1,530,736
to them this year, on last years
production. Estimated taxes on
all Ohio coal last year was but
$211, ,645.
With Harrison county leading
the state in coal production last
year, with 8,515,382 tons, it would
stand to gain the most in the
immediate future under such a
tax plan. At the base value of
$3.50 a ton, the total valuation
would be $22,139, 1893. At our
average rate of 100 mills, this
would bring in $376,379.88. Our
actual assessed valuation of coal,
last year, was $l,660,3l0, which
brought in an estimated $28,225.
Thus our net gain, under the
proposed system, would have
been $348,l54 this year.
AS Auditor Glenn Mickey and
others pointed out, law should
be enacted to permit counties to
invest this mineral tax for the
rainy days that are coming in
the coal stripping areas, when
the coal is gone. If we do not
make a nest egg now, we may not
be able to have sufficient taxes to
operate as a county.
Should this tax on coal produc-
ton become a reality, without
legal ways to invest it for future
needs, collections on other tax
sources, including real estate,
should be reduced proportion
ately.
Other net estimated gains,
should this plan be made effec-
tive, would have been $233,8le
