"*cins Really that Mining is the Cas Ontario Industry Paying Double Taxes, It is easy to see that objection is most probable these days from any industry on which additional burden of taxation is placed. At the same time it must be recognized that the governments findâ€" ing it necessary to raise extra revenue to carry on the various services of the country must place the necessary taxaâ€" tion somewhere. It would appear, however, that it is unfortunate that the mining industry should be singled out in this province for special taxation at this time. There has been an underâ€" standing generally held that the Onâ€" tario Government was inclined to aid the mining industry rather than to hinâ€" der it. +In these days of worldâ€"wide deâ€" rwession the mining industry has been one of the specially bright spots in this province. This was ably shown some months ago by Hon. W. A. Gordon, Minâ€" ister of Mines for the Dominion, in the course of an address at Timmins. He pointed out that while other industries had been closing down, reducing staffs or lowering wages, the mining industry had been carrying on with increased staffs and with the wage rates at the same levels as before the depression. It is surely not difficult to see the value of this to the country at large. The business created by the mining industry, carrying on business as usual, has been a decided factor in allowing Ontario to escape the fullest measure of depresâ€" sion, such as has struck some sections of the country. The fair attitude of the Ontario Government to the mining industry has been of much value in helping the industry to take the good position it now occupies. The outl0o0k for the mining industry was still more promising until recently when the proâ€" posal was made to include the mines in the Capital Tax levy by the legislature of Ontario. The inclusion of the mines in this new taxation looks like a posâ€" sible reversion to the old plan of "milkâ€" ing the mines." The Farmer Governâ€" ment in Ontario "put a crimp‘" in the mining industry by this milking policy. The present government followed a plan that has been fairer to the mines and more profitable to the country. Of course there are those who loudly proâ€" claim the policy of "soaking the mines" for every cent possible. . This policy may have had some grounds when rich men were chiefly concerned in the finâ€" ancing of mines. In recent years, howâ€" ever, the mining industry has been supâ€" ported by the public in general, and there does not appear to be any reason why it should be singled out for special handicaps. The mines @lready pay aA plrofits tax on the production beyond a certain stated figure, and if to this is added the levy under the ‘Capital Tax there is justification for objection on the plea of double taxes being asked. It may be noted that the objection to the taxation in the case of the Capital Tax is more to the principle involved than to the actual amount of the tax. The amount that will be paid under the Capital Tax levy in Ontario will not be very large. It is estimated at around $50,000 a year. It hardly seems enough to warrant the procedure. The quesâ€" tion is discussed editorially last week _ _ _ ... un css ces citinen Smsce ue uo i mm nc smm uen cesc mm uen ns mm e o n mm on se | | GREATER VYVALUES THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTAR 8 611 Con by The Northern Miner, the editorial in C l S d that paper saying:â€" att e tl‘aye at "Enactment, by the Ontario Legislaâ€" M h * ture, has been given a bill authorizing at ESOH ll\ 1922 the Provincial Treasurer to levy a s tal Tax of oneâ€"tenth of one per cent.| Diary Tells of Incident When Animals Its exact application to mining comâ€" Lived in Bush During Winter panies is to be made known later, but when â€" Thermometer Went i+ is iunderstcod that it will apply in | Down to 38 Below. their cases to that portion of their capiâ€" tal which is deemed to be not engaged in earning profits under the Mine Proâ€" fit Tax Act. In other words, it will be levied on capital in reduction works such as concentrators, smelters and refineries The Mine Profit Tax, which yields the Ontario Government several hundred thousand dollars anâ€" nually, is based upon the value of ore at the pit mouth. To all intents and purâ€" poses, however, the new imposition imâ€" poses double taxation and sets the minâ€" ing industry up as the only industry in the province which has double taxes. For that and other reasons the piroposâ€" al was opposed by mining men. "The amount of money that will be paid by the mines under the new enactâ€" ment will probably not be large, perhaps $30,000 to $50,000 a year. But mining men object to the principle of the thing, particularly to the breaking of pledges. Having started to add taxes to those that were settled upon a great many years ago, they do not know how far the government will go. Nor have they any assurance that the carlital tax will not be raised next year. "The Mine Profit Tax is administered by the Department of Mines. The new Capital Tax will be assessed by the Treasury Deparitment. Apparently deâ€" "Taxes paid by Ontario mines direct to provincial and federal governments, and to municiplal boedies, now amount to more than ten per cent. of the anâ€" nual net income of the mines. Indirect taxes paid by the mines, such as sales and stamp taxes, and duty on imported goods, is additional, and a considerable further percentage. It is claimed that the total of direct and indirect taxes is as high as in any mining country in the worla." Special Effort for Protecting Forests That Canadian commerce has alâ€" ready enough ‘"in the red" without adâ€" ding any forest fires in 1931, is the kayâ€" note of a nation wide educational camâ€" paign just inaugurated by the Canadian Forestry Association. Field lecturers are already at work in British Columbia, the Prairie provinces, and Nova Scotia, and will shortly enter other provinces to enlist the Canadian public in a determined forest protection effort. Fifteen educational parties in all will be utilized, each with a motor truck, motion pictures and electric genâ€" erators to meet the conditions of 1100 remote communities. Where roads are not available, aeroplanes and boats are used to reach mining and other disâ€" tricts where forest fires commonly have their origin. The Association, which belongs to no government or commercal body, has had many years of practical success in organizing public sentiment in the fronâ€" tier country and has built up a memâ€" bership of 32,000, the largest of any similar Association in the world. In the southern Prairie provinces, where shelter belt planting is of the hishest economic importance, and is virtually the key to mixed farming, the Association‘s railway lecture car is now covering Saskatchewan with packed audiences far exceeding the attendance of prosperous times. During the afterâ€" noon and evening, crowds of settlers and their families are instructed in tree planting, and many hundreds of new shelter belts are a direct conseâ€" auence of such educational methods. â€" WHAT ZALEK VERTLIEB THINKS® THE WORLD NEEDS Zalek Vertlieb of Wawbewawa, isl well known in the North for his originâ€"â€" al ideas on many different subjects. Writing last week in The New Liskeard speaker he touches on the twin probâ€" lem of the worldâ€"wide depression and what is wrong with the world to-d-ay.i He may not suggest any remedy, except indirectly by indicating a return to saner living, but what he says is cerâ€". tainly of interest. He writes:â€" ‘ "For some reason or other I have not found anything to write aboui, so will discuss a matter that seems to be the main topic at the present time. Nearly every parer and over the radio everyone is talking about the present world depression, unemâ€" ployment and hard times. One day you read more unemploymentâ€"times are gotting worse; the next day you readâ€"more cars sold than last year, radio sales increase twenty per cent, and so on.Work is hard to get but labâ€" orers want high wages just the same; even if the price of foods has gone down. New theatres are being built, and picture shows are doing great busiâ€" ness. People don‘t know what they want nowâ€"aâ€"days. And after considâ€" ering the matter from all points I have come to the conclusion that what this country needs nowâ€"aâ€"days is more and bigger asylums, as ninety per cent of the have gone bug â€"house and the rest are going and going fast." anardian Foresiry Association Plans to Enlist Canadian Public in Deterâ€" mined Effort for Protection of Forests. new Canadian seaport on James connected by direct rail with the tario capital should be an event worth taking special note of this mer.

THIS PROSPECTOR TALKED HIMSELF OUT OF TROUBLE (From The Northern Miner) Occasionally we are called upon to render assistance to members of the prospecting fraternity, by securing inâ€" formation for them or otherwise putting them right on points of law. Last week the following letter reached us and, at first glance, it appeared to offer a diffiâ€" cult plroblem. But our friend talked himself out of the hole he was in, apâ€" parently, in this fashion: Dear Editor, Northern Miner: Being a friend of the prospectors I come to you for some help. Some skunk has come along and staked my claims in the West Shinning Tree. Since eight years I have staked these claims. I have not been there since. This \feer. heering about the gold finds I went back and had a hard trip and find some skunk has staked my claims. If I ever get my hands on the low down curr i will do to him what the indien did to the beever. He staked my claims beâ€" case I was not there. Now I want you to go to the governing and fix this up. I want you to see Mr. McCrea, who is frend of the prospectors. I ask you pleze to return my claims to me. These claims I staked in 1922 when I was out of town acet of a little truble in town. These ground I did not see, besing winter. But there was hills and rock there and good camp ground. LOts of rabbits thare toco. Maybs there is no gold Anyhow I stake them. What do you think? Maybe no use. And then the work have to be done before spring. Perhaps it is to late to be of use to do anything. So don‘t bother to take the truble. Anyhow I lose the number. Thanks just the same.
