A Study on the Relationship Between The State and The Salt Industry Development In Taiwan

Salt is one of the most important materials to human beings. To the state, the salt tax is one of the most steady incomes in finance. The state may control the salt industry because of the necessary to his people , or finance. This research, starting from the relative autonomy of the state, tries to discuss the purpose of the state to control the salt industry, and at the same time, the state will take different salt systems for different purposes. Specifically, the state has its own purposes, and to reach them, the state will decide it`s salt system. This research will take three salt systems- the state monopolized system,taxation system,and non-tax system, and take three factors- political business relationship,production and marketing ways,the development of salt industry to realize the the state`s purposes and how the salt system works.
This research discovered that the financial factor was usually the first purpose of the state. In the state monopolized system, durivg the Japanse period, the independence of Taiwan`s finance is the purpose of the state after 1915. In taxation system, the state took salt industry as public enterprise. In order to root in Taiwan, the state authorises the resource in Taiwan through public enterprise. The salt tax is one of the most steady incomes in the state finance.
In the state monopolized system, the state did not control the production of salt products, but bought all kinds of salt products in forces. The state was not a producer, but a distributor. Therefore , the political business relationship was given and taken. This relationship did not change in taxation system, because the state was both producer and distributor, till non-tax system begun. In non-tax system, the political business relationship turns to competitive relation, for the state can not control the salt industry anymore, and the relative autonomy of the the state disappeared. The salt industry had a considerable progress during the periods of the state monopolized system and taxation system, because the salt industry had to coordinate the state policy to produce difference salt products. In non-tax system period , because of the opening of the salt products market , the salt industry turns to technical denseness industry.
Finally, the salt industry was controlled by the state for finance purpose and coordinated the state`s policy.
