Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Taxation of Mines in Montana The author of this essay on mine taxation has endeavored to bring within the compass of an accessible and readable volume the facts and principles which may be considered the accepted and standard ideas on the subject. There are many phases of the subject, such as the relation of mine taxation to conservation, the theories of the single tax, etc., which the author has in tentionally avoided because of the purpose which this volume is expected to serve. In brief, the purpose is to give to the citizens of Montana the available information on the situation in the state as well as the elementary and generally undisputed eco nomic principles involved. The essay is intentionally informa tive. It is not to be interpreted as an expression of the author 's ideas on the subject. In general, it may be said to point the way to the solution of the problem in Montana along the mod erately progressive lines followed by other states. The author is indebted to many persons for assistance in the preparation of this monograph. He wishes particularly to ac knowledge his obligations to Professor E. R. A. Seligman and to Dr. Murray Haig of Columbia University for reading the man uscript and to Professor J. H. Underwood of the Univer sity of Montana for many helpful suggestions. The author also takes this occasion to express his sincerest appreciation of the many kindnesses and of the generous assistance given him by the state Officials at Helena, by members of the State Temporary Tax and License Commission, by the county and city officials of Missoula, Butte, and Helena, and by many others.

This book was released on 2017-12-20 with total page 278 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Mine Taxation in the United States The mineral industry of the United States had an output which was valued by the United States Geological Survey at two billion four hundred million dollars in 1913 and at two billion one hundred thousand dollars in The average value per annum during the period 1909 to 1914 was approximately two billion one hundred million dollars. A large amount of capital is invested in the industry and in certain communities the mines comprise the principal form of wealth. In such districts and in those states in which mining is one of the leading industries the problem of the taxation of mines and of mineral lands has become of great importance. During the last decade considerable attention has been directed to this subject by the taxing bodies of a number of states, and important legislation directly affecting the problem has been enacted in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Oklahoma, and in a number of the Rocky Mountain states.

This book was released on 2015-08-04 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Proceedings of the Second Annual National Mine Tax Conference: At the Twenty-Fourth Annual Convention of the American Mining Congress, Chicago, Illinois, October 17 to 22, 1921 The federal taxes are uniform all over the country. The state taxes are far from uniform. One state levies taxes on certain industries at the rate of 1.7 cents per pound, another state levies them at the rate of one-half a cent per pound. How can industries in those two states compete on equal terms with those conditions? The three great things that are worrying the mining industry today are: high cost of wages and labor, high cost of transportation, and high and discriminatory and un-uniform taxes. The railroads are recognizing that and are endeavoring to make their rates uniform. The illustration of that is the long and short haul. For example, the mines get a rate on copper, with which I am familiar, to the seaboard, to the East, of $16.50 per ton. That rate is almost uniform in Montana, in Arizona, in Utah, and elsewhere. Wages are mobile. They take care of themselves more or less. If there is a tendency to equalize wages in different states, the taxes have no such tendency unless the mines themselves initiate some sort of a movement, some sort of a concentrated effort to make taxes uniform. There are two ways the states accomplish the penalization of mines: They raise the tax rate directly against the mine. They put on an ad valorem tax and add to that a tonnage tax. Minnesota has distinctly penalized mines. It has an open policy of penalizing mines. In the first place it has an amendment to the constitution which taxes mines to 50 per cent of their value, other property is taxed to 30 and 40 per cent of its value. In addition, it has an occupation tax which is added to that. Another way to accomplish this result is to increase the value of the mines, to gradually add on valuation, increasing it by different methods, increasing it by changing the factors of valuation until the mines are paying a greater share of the tax in that particular state than in other states. Now these conditions have moved the Mining Congress to invite here their representatives to discuss this question and it is a most serious one now. It is far more serious, in my estimation, than the federal tax is. We are going to discuss this and see if it is possible in any way to arrive at some sort of uniformity in state taxation, to arrive at some principles of uniformity and to initiate some movement toward the accomplishment of that result to mold out the unfair discriminatory taxes of some of the states against mines. Mr. Kriegh of the Tax Division of the American Mining Congress has prepared here as a basis of this discussion a summary of the state taxation and revenue systems of the various states. I will ask him to explain that briefly. This summary is here for distribution among you gentlemen. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Depletion of Mines in Relation to Invested Capital: A Paper Read at Conference on Mine Taxation, Annual Convention of the American Mining Congress, Denver, Colorado, November 16, 1920 At the beginning of the taxable year 1917 the company had an accumulation of surplus earnings, in excess of derived mainly from the operation of its mining property. Under the rule adopted by the bureau, it is claimed that this company's invested capital for the taxable year 1917 should be reduced by over for alleged impairment of the original paid-in capital of This deduction of from the invested capital was reached by multiplying the number of pounds of copper mined during the seventeen years between January, 1900 and December, 1916 (approx. 600 millions) by a constant unit rate of cents per pound. This unit rate was obtained by dividing the original capital value of the mine by the number of pounds of copper estimated to have been in the mining property in 1900, based upon the figures available as of March 1, 1913. We see then, by the actual case above cited, that the administrative rule adopted by the bureau is based upon the proposition that, although the commercial value of the mining property increased during the 17 year period by nearly it is necessary to deduct from the invested capital in order to recognize impairment of the original invested capital value of the mining property, which is regarded as having occurred during this identical period. By this rule of actual profits arededucted in order to recognize an impairment of original commercial value which is wholly imaginary.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Gold Dust to Dollars: A History of Federal Tax Administration in Montana, 1864-1993 The story of tax collection in Montana is only one small part of the development of this vast area Of the western United States. Yet it is a fascinating story. Unlike the metropolitan population centers of the east, the early settlers of Montana were not used to the some times rigid rules ofa government structure. They were independent men and women, in search Of wealth, opportunity, and adventure. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Mines of the West written by Rossiter W. Raymond and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-03-24 with total page 276 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Mines of the West: A Report to the Secretary of the Treasury Sir: An appropriation having been made by Congress to enable the Secretary of the Treasury to collect reliable statistics of the mineral resources of the United States, a special appointment was conferred upon Mr. J. Ross Browne, under which he performed this service in the States and Territories west of the Rocky mountains. To Mr. James W. Taylor the duty of collecting similar statistics east of the Rocky mountains was assigned. The position held by Mr. Browne having become vacant, and it being in the opinion of the department important that the work should be continued, you have this day been appointed a special commissioner for the collection of statistics in the western division above specified. A copy of the instructions under which Mr. Browne performed his duties is herewith enclosed. Inasmuch as his preliminary report, printed by Congress in 1867, and his subsequent report for 1868, now in the hands of the public printer, cover the material points embraced in the instructions, it will be unnecessary for you to enter into similar investigations in detail, except in cases where omissions may have occurred, or where the information obtained may appear to be erroneous or imperfect. The most important subjects for inquiry at present seem to be - First. As to the different processes of treating the ores, their chemical combinations, and the system demonstrated by practical experience to be the most successful. Second. The relative merits of the various inventions, machines, and mechanical contrivances now in use or projected for the reduction of the precious metals, and for all other purposes connected with the business of mining and metallurgy. Third. The special needs of the great mining interest, how it can be encouraged and rendered most productive, how far individual enterprise should be left untrammelled by legislative action, and to what extent and in what instances government might properly lend its aid to facilitate the development of the mines and thus arrest the present annual decrease in the production of bullion. Fourth. What has been the experience, of other countries, resulting from the establishment of national institutions for the education of miners, and how far would the systems prevailing in Europe be applicable to our people or appropriate under our government? General suggestions of this kind cannot of course always be implicitly carried out, but it is expected that your scientific and practical experience will enable you to furnish valuable information on the subjects indicated. It will be necessary, in the performance of the duties assigned to you, that you should visit in person the principal States and Territories embraced within your division. You will be pleased to submit your report to this department on or before the first day of October next. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

This book was released on 2017-11-16 with total page 1138 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Treatise on the Law of Mines and Minerals Since the publication, in the year 1867, of the Third Edition of the Author's Treatise, mining industry has, upon the whole, and notwithstanding occasional variations, enormously increased e and the law, also, of mines and minerals, from having been more frequently before the Courts and from other causes, has received a corresponding development. The principles of that law are now more definitely settled, and its details are much more accurately ascertained or ascertainable, than they or either of them were at the time the Author wrote. In the present or Fourth Edition, the Editor has endeavoured, while founding upon the old edition, to express these more definite principles, and to arrange these more accurately ascertainable details of mining law in a form at once convenient and logical, embodying them in the Author's Treatise in their appropriate places, and generally carrying forward that Treatise to the stage at which mining law has now arrived. For the better attainment of the objects above ex pressed, the Editor, although averse to taking liberties with either the method or the matter of his Author, has found himself compelled to take, and has also taken in fact, very considerable liberties with both. He has greatly altered the method; and he has greatly altered the matter also. Firstly, as regards alterations of method, - the Editor has made the following alterations, viz.
