Kelly addressed u large crowd at the Roman Theatre on Wed nesday, October 22nd. speaking for two hours on the subject of the taxa tion of mines. Mr. Kelley has been making speeches throughout the state in an effort to inform the voters us to the true facts pertaining to the taxes paid by mining compnie*. Hu explained that he was appearing un der the auspices of the Montana Min ing Association, and as he was an em ploye of the Anaconda Company and familiar with their operatons, ho would use the Anaconda Company as his basis for figures. Mr. Kelly said; "The question of taxation is a very acute one in the state. Bunks have failed from one end of the state to other and many people have lost their savings, period of depression gone through in the last six or eight years makes us realize that the question of taxation is an acute one, but I want to say in just a preliminary way a few words about the burden of increased taxa tion. In 1880 the tuxes per capita in Montana were $9.80 for every man, woman and child. In 10323 the tuxes hud increased to the enormous sum of $50.00 for each man, woman and child." Mr. Kelly said that he did not be lieve that the people of Montana would treat the mines unfairly, If they had the facts, but that every mghl the governor of this state in bis speech us was misrepresenting the facts, claiming that the great Anaconda Company paid |IJK) of taxes in 1921 arid |i. documentary evidence to show that the Anaconda Company paid $914, 121.00 in 1921! $8(50,748.00 in 1922. He handed out cancelled checks to the audience signed by the Anaconda Cop per Company to substantiate this statement. Mr. Kelly also stated that the Anaconda Company had paid an' average of nearly a million dollars a year in taxes, and at tjie same time the company lost on its Montana opera tions more than $13,000,000. He stat ed that it was unfair for the Governor of this state to try to deceive the peo ple. THIr 00 in 1922. Mr. Kelly produced Mr, Kelly, pointed out that 1916 waa an average year; that business in ail lines was good; hanks were pros perous, farmers had crops und receiv ed good prices and the total taxes col lected for that year was $13,849,000. From-1916 to 1923 the taxes had Notwith a I doubled to $20,799,000. standing this the cry has gone from one end of the state to the other, not by I the tax-payers but by the tax-spend ers, that we must have more taxes. Sheep men and cattle men have gone; I broke, there is no demand for copper land the markets of Europe are closed to us because of conditions resulting from the war; that Montana has but 7 per cent of the world's supply of cupper and yet we must compete with the world; that if additional taxes were imposed, that the mining com panies, if they operated at all would iiave to operate at a great loss. Mr. Kelly explained that the Ana conda Copper Company is but one of 460 such operations in this state, sep arate and individual. He said these mines pay four or five dfferent kinds of taxes, which include a surface tax, a tax on al! implements and machinery, m ji| s and sme lter*. a license tax and a on proceeds of its pro ductions, which is assessed at 100 per cent. "The corporation license tax goes directly to the state, and with those other taxes which the mining companies pay, state county and city receive the.'r just share." Mr, Kelly said that one fifth of the population of the state or 100,000 were dependent upon the operations of these mines. He urged, instead of increas ed taxes, economy on the part of the 1 state administration and the abolish ing of many useless boards and com missions.
