Will increased taxes bring in more or less revenue from mining and logging? As the "Western Miner & Oil Review" observes, ..the mining industry is already 'one of the biggest taxpayers in KC, In five years, from 1948 to 19!2, mining paid more than $114,000,000 in federal, provincial, municipal and other taxesWhile it is true that most of the tax money went to Ottawa, a good portion of it came back to B.C. through the Dominion-provincial tax rental agreement. Further examination brings to light a little known but startling condition. Although the mining 'industry is kept alive by capital investment, the people of B.C. and all of Canada get directly at least 60 per cent of mining profits through taxes, and a lot more indirectly. The fact is that the mining industry in Canada today is owned not hy the shareholders, who have only a minority interest, but by every citizen. B.C. is richly endowed with mineral resources. At least 40 important cities, towns and communities in the province are entirely or in part dependent on mining. At present the industry is hard pressed to maintain itself. Many properties have had to suspend operations. Under these conditions, it is difficult to attract new capital for the exploration and development of potential new mines. Mining, a depletion industry, must attract this capital or the undeveloped ore deposits will remain in the ground to benefit nobody. Although some politicians in B.C. apparently 'tire not too familiar with the economic law of diminishing return to taxation, they should be familiar with the old saying about "killing the goose that lays the golden egg." which is the same thing. election of the man just repudi ated let us examine the Im (P.D.T.)
