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 intentionally 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 economic principles involved. The essay is intentionally informative. 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 moderately 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 acknowledge his obligations to Professor E. R. A. Seligman and to Dr. Murray Haig of Columbia University for reading the manuscript and to Professor J. H. Underwood of the University of Montana for many helpful suggestions. The author also takes this occasion to express his since rest 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.
