ALUE OF GOLD TAX CASES
(Juneau Empire)
The mining industry will wat
h with a great deal of interest
he outcome of the first court
ctions brought by the Territory
hiv0 reC0Ver taxes under the 1937
;ross tax law, and the result will
>robably have a definite effect
>n what the Legislature conven
. ng in January will do relative
SI to the mining tax.
The gross tax passed by the
Legislature levies a three per
cent tax on the gross output of
gold and platinum operations,
while the levy is against the net
on other minerals, thus raising
the question of constitutionality
based on the principle of a like
tax on taxable sources of a like
nature. This point may be settled |
mIn the cases which the Territory j
_has now instituted.
Likewise, there is considerable
agitation for change in the gold
j 1 tax law on grounds that exemp
tions are not sufficiently high to
protect the smaller operators. It
. is claimed in some sources that
v small operators are being pen
^ alized under the present act with
a tendency toward cubbing dev
rL elopment.
Without doubt these and many
other points will be brought up
r when the Legislature starts three
months hence. Thus the actions
brougt by the Territory now w'ill

prove helpful in determining the
constitutionality of the law it
self, clarifying disputed points
and serving as guidance for the
lawmakers.

“No sound recovery or resump

is possible in the United States

increase of wages among the low
paid members of society would
increase the purchasing power of
the masses out of all proportion
to the cost.”
