PROFITS AND TAXES ON THE RAND.

PROFIID AND IAAES OA M HIND.
The question Of taxation in the gold region OF
the Transvaal threatens TO cause some trouble
for the British Government Our London cor
respondent tells us that the gold mining mag
rates Of the Rand are astonished ut the impo-
stion Of a tax Of 10 per cent upon the profits
Of their mines. and have limited that they Will
not 20 on developing new mines and new reefs
unless they receive better treatment at the
hands of the government Such an attitude on
the miners part is not surprising, of course. 1t
seems 10 be pretty general human character
istic 10 desire to avoid taxation. But it is not at
all clear that their attitude is justifable. Some
body in the Transvaal has TO pay taxes, and
pretty heavy taxes too, and the chief question
is upon whom the heaviest taxation can Justly
be laid.
Recent reports from the Rand seem 10 indi-
cate that the mines have largely recovered from
the prostration Of industry caused by the war
and are being operated in q highly profitable
manner. The Bonanza. for example has already
paid this year dividends of So per cent, its total
dividends to date aggregating 365 per cent. The
Crown Reef has paid 125 per cent this year,
with total of 1,1O4 per cent GeIdenhuis Deep
and Geldenhuis Estate have each paid % per
cent this year; Rand Mines have paid so Der
cent Village Main Reef %. and Wemmer 70.
Some Of these are paying profits of from $780,
600 to $125,oO0 a month. Some, of course are
not paying so well. ranging as low as 10. and
in one case only ~ per cent dividends this
year, while one we believe, reports an actual
deficit But on the whole the figures indicate
such profits on investment as can be found in
few other places in the world
No profits. however great, would justify op-
pressive and unjust taxation. But concerns
which are paying from % to 125 per cent divi-
dends year can scarcely with good grace plead
poverty as a ground for exemption from taxa
ton. In the face Of such figures as those which
we have quoted, the gold magnates warnings
to the government against killing the goose
that lays golden eggs sound a good deal like
what the worldly call "bufing" and we shall
not be surprised if Mr.. Chamberlain so regards
them when he gets TO the scene Men are not
going to abandon or to refrain from developing
an industry that pays cent per cent year lust
because it is taxed 10 per cent of its cent per
cent to pay for a war which was waged for its
benefit.

SMOKE PREVENTED
TwELVE-HOUR TEST AT NEWTON
CLAYPOoL BUILDING.
Witnesse by Mayor BOokwalter and
commercial Club committee
Municipal Affairs.

At the Newton Claypool building, yester-
dav. from 6 O'Clock in the morning until
6 O'Clock at night, there was made a test
of a smoke preventing compound which.
in the opinion of Mayor B~ookwalter. dem
onstrated conclusively that dense smoke
can be prevented. with the mayor, mem
bers Of the Commercial Club committee on
smoke prevention witnessed tho test, and
they were also encouraged by the good re-
suits obtained.
The compound, a black powder. which
has been described In the Journal, was
mixed with water and then thoroughly
sprinkled over the nut and slack coal TO
be burned. The hremen were instructed to
use the same amount of coal as under
ordinary conditions, and to adjust their
fires in the usual manner. The mayor
and the members Of the ommitte then
went to the top of the building to note the
results.
Except for the first few minutes there
was absolutely no dense smoke visible.
The smoke which came from the stack was
brown in color, thin. and quickly dissi-
pated itself in the atmosphere. The OBJ
servers watched the stack closely for half
an hour and at no time. they say. did the
volume OF smoke increase or become more
sooty.
The engineer OF the building reported that
the compound was valuable not only In
preventing density OF smoke. but also IN
saving OF fuel. With it's use. he said. there
were practically no clinkers and the waste
i'm coal was far less than without the use
OF the chemical. He stated that careful
stocking was necessary with the compound,
IL order that the best results might be
obtained. He estimated That from 20 10 70
per cent. OF the smoke was prevented.
AS to the use Of the chemical with other
kinds OF coal than the ordinary kind used In

All Peace Propositions Must BE Sub
mitted to the Burghers by the
Commanders of the Troops.

THE HAGUE. March 31.-Mr. Kruger, DR..
Leyds and the Boer delegates in Europe are
expected TO hold an important meeting at
Utrecht April 2 TO consider the situation
in view Of acting President Schaikburger's
peace movement. Well-informed people
here say General Sc~halkburger was evil
IDENTIFY influenced by the receipt OF the news
of the result OF the Dutch note TO Great
Britain on the subject of peace I'm South
Africa and other dispatches sent him from
here. 1t is known that his communications
with President Steyn and General De Wet,
which have heretofore been easily carried
on, were interrupted by the recent British
military movements, and as it was neces-
sary to communicate with Mr.. Steyn and
General De Wet before any peace PROPOSE
ton could be formulated, General Schalk-
burger had to apply to Lord Kitchener for
a safe conduct.
Considerable surprise is expressed here at
Schalkburgers delay in getting in touch
witt De Wet, and 1t is thought that some
thing unusual must be behind it. But even
If the Orange Free State and Transvaal
officials agreed to peace terms it would
be necessary for both republics to call a
general meeting of the commanders and
submit the proposals to the burghers be-
fore they could be submitted to Lord
Kitchener. In any case unconditional sur
render, it is declared. is out OF the question.

indianapolis Company's Plans.

The bills to be sent out to-day by the In
dianapohs Gas Company will not cover the
quarter ending July l, as is usually the
case. but Will be only for the time up TO
May /. 1t is believed that this action on
the part OF the company is the natural
sequel Of the letter TO the mayor and Coun-
Gil, asking for meters, and in which IL was
stated that il the ordinance were not passed
the company would go out of natural gas
business in indianapolis. The bills TO be
issued to-day are an indication, il Is be-
lieved. that II the company does not obtain
the remedial legislation 1t seeks IL may dis
continue service after May /. The Con-
sumers' Company has made no change in
the time covered by it's bills. AS stated by
John P. Frenzel. it's position is different
from that OF the Indianapolis Company in
that Indianapolis is it's only market, and
although IL may ultimately quit business if
meters are not made compulsory, until that
time IL will continue its affairs In the same
manner as before.
