J W Walker of the State Tax Commission notes, in a letter to Hele na Independent, that in 1923 Montana farmers paid 8.45 million in land taxes and over 2 million on buildings and tools. Had they paid on net proceeds, savings would reach 5.5 million with a small surface tax. gross production would yield 1.098 million. Mines taxed on net production of 5.185 million from 55.33 million gross produced paid 842,521.51. If gross production law passes, mines would owe 756,236.98, plus land surface and machinery taxes, a rise of 393,709.47.
