government obtains its taxable return therefrom in the form
of property taxes, income taxes, and ‘sales taxes on everything that producer uses. When the value which the mineral producer has added to the surface value of the land by the,
expenditure of his time, money, and enterprise, has been dissipated through the exhaustion of the mineral deposit; then indeed the land returns to its former value as non-mineral: land.
But the government has not. suffered. It has received the
proper taxes on the added value so long as that value existed. .
That value existed only because of the possibility of extrac-j

land and incapable of being extracted, they would add no .

Whythen should the mineral producer be singled out .

adopted ‘which distributes the burden equitably among all. .
Paticularly unfair is the proposal to include gold in the category of taxable minerals, because, while the gold miner adds to
the wealth of the state and takes nothing from it, he cannot
pass along to his sole customer, the United States Government, in the form of an addition to the price of gold, taxes
which are levied on his output. Engaged in one of the most
hazardous of all industrial enterprises from the standpoint of
probability of return, the gold miner must resent the proposal
