If so, I have found a remedy for a racing pulse. «Call again.! In view of the suggestion that further taxation be imposed on the gold mining industry the attitude on the same matâ€" ter in South Africa may well be worth thought and study. On the Rand toâ€"day there is a growing belief that the burâ€" den of taxation on the mining industry has a tendency to retard the industry at the very time that it would be most likely to advance, and that as a conâ€" sequence the taxation is secured at the expense of business in general and so is likely to prove pJor policy. African veterans banguet last Saturday they would have witnessed a scene which would probably have changed their minds.

At present all eyes are centred on Geneva, Switzerland, where the League of Naâ€" ticns are in session, trying to seek a solution to the dispute. Learned diplo« mats talk for hours on the vital quesâ€" tion. All people are earnestly praying for a peaceful settlement and the stand of those wha fought in the last is shown vividly by the closing paragraph of an editorial from this month‘s "Legionary" it is as follows: "That Great Britain has no intention of playing a lone hand in this brawl is now taken for granted The time has gone when the Motherâ€" land can be expected to assume the ro‘:e of world policeman beyond fulfilling the necessary duty of protecting Briâ€" lish interests in the threatened zone. There is no enthusiasm for war in the United Kingdom, and, so far as Canada is cancerned even less enthusiasm for it in the Dominions. The last confflict damonstrated beyond a doubt that the conquering nations lost equally as much as the conquered, and that those whos profited least were the common people themselves. and the soldiers who fought the war. For many months there has been a ecnsistent and insistent demand for a reduction in taxation of tHe gold mines of South Africa, says the Northern Min®r. As is well known, the governâ€" ment there imposed a very heavy imâ€" post upon the mines upon the rise in the price of gold. The South African govâ€" ernment which has very few sources of revenue and which was desirous of subâ€" sidizing the agricultural industry durâ€" ing the perod of depression. seized upon the higher gold price as an Oopportunity to scale upwards the tax collections from the mines. The gold producers were chliged to submit but the results, after two years, indicate that a great deal of employment has been prevented and an enormous amount of mineral development has been forestalled by the weight of the tax. Shareholders of gold mines naturally agitated and conâ€" siderable pressure was brought to bear on the government, which has at last been brought to realize the reactionary nature of the taxation policy. anda shoulted and None of them want came they are ready erland to keep the present all eyes are the opportuniy to decide which they require most, cement sidewalks or a town hall. Thanking you, Rand Seeks to Lower Taxation of Mines Committee Appointed to Consider the Efforts of the Heavy Burden on the Gold Industry. â€"W. A. Devine, Box 1428 Yours sincerely Oldâ€"Timer The members of the committee are: A. Corbett, Commissioner of Inland Revenue, Dr. H. Pirow, governinent mining engineer; Mr. Esnell, Assistant Commissioner of Inland Revenue; H. Deowar, chief accountant of the treaâ€" sury: 8. Hill, chief clerk in the income tax dspartment. The Minister of Mines has recently been active interviewing the Mine Workers Union and the Chamber of Mines, presumably preparing the ground for the committee. fication, reviston or replacement of the present taxes. 3. Analyse all the evidence and sugâ€" gestions offered and report thereon to the Minister of Finance. Mining comment from the Rand anâ€" ticipates that a straight percentage of profits will be settled upon, with cerâ€" tain concessions for low grade minss. It is figured that such a change would be beneficial to the mines, as it would enable them to work closer to the General Meeting and Social of the Cornish Social Club avirage grade of ore reserves. As the situation now stands the Rand mines are actually mining threeâ€"quarters of a pennyweight below the average, beâ€" cause under the existing plan of taxaâ€" tion it is more profitable to work the lowest possible grade, even to the exâ€" tent of putting a portion of unpayable ore through the mills than to endeavor to Increase profits by raising grade of ore. "In taxing the mines," he said, "you are not taxing a dead object, but taxâ€" ing the people. Shareholders of mining concerns are spread far and wide throughout the country; you cannot go ch taxing them indefinitely, for everyâ€" one suffers by restricting mining deâ€" velopment." Notice is given in this issue of a general of the Cornish Social Club to be held in the Hollinger hall on Saturday, Oct. 5th, at 8 p.m. All members are asked to attend for the important business before the meeting. After the general meeting there will be . a social evening â€" one of those pleasant events for which the Cornish Social Club is famous. Members are asked to bring refreshments, and, of course, Cornish pasties will be conâ€" sidered as the finest form of refreshâ€" ments to Je supplised. Members who bring pasties will add to their popularâ€" ity as a matter of course. That the government opinion has lately swung in favour of placating the Rand, though it wishes to avoid any direct taxation cuts which would anâ€" tagonize the farmers, is evidenced by recent moves. All political parties, with the exception of the radicals, are now courting the Rand vote. Mr. Hofmeyr, the Minister of the Interior, addressing a gathering of Northern Transvaal farmers® recently warned the farmers against continued government assisâ€" tance, and stresseq the danger of overâ€" taxing the minsgs, which, he said, were adsquately taxed at present. Commenting recently on the comâ€" mittee and its prcbable activities, the Johannesburg "Star‘‘ points out that there is a conflict of interests between the farmers and the mines and their shareholders. "No one deni¢es the urgent need that existed for saving the farmâ€" ers from collapse," the paper says, "but at the same time, mining taxation, if continued on such a scale indefinitely, will defeatâ€" its own ends. The mining industry qgeserves well of the governâ€" ment, for it would be difficult to estiâ€" mate the value of the contrisution alâ€" ready made to the national welfare. Mr. Duncan, Minister of Mines, in a recent speech dt Johannesburg, stated that while the back country was eriâ€" tically suggesting that the government did not take enough from the mines, "we know capital will not come here unless there is confidence and hope of getting a better return for the money than by ordinary investments. The govâ€" ernment is determineg to keep the gold mining industry in a flourishing conâ€" dition, We don‘t look on mining merely as a source of revenue and we are dsâ€" termined to do nothing to discourage capital coming into the country," the minister stated.
