§ The same observations apply to the case of mineral royalties. There all the expenditure is incurred by the capitalist, who runs the risk of losing his capital, while the miner risks his life; and I do not think it is too much to ask the royalty owner, who has contributed no capital and runs no risk, to contribute in this emergency to bear the large burden that is cast upon us for the defence of the country, and to help to pay the large sum of money needed to make provision for social needs, for the aged, and for those who have been engaged in digging out mining royalties all their lives.
