NEW COLLECT|ONOF
 CORPORATION TAX
Important Amendments To
 Be Announced Today
CHANGE TAX ON MINES
Method of Taxing Deposits of Nature Is Solved By Experts-Many Provisions Are
 Changed

Washington, February 15.-Importasi amendments to the regulations governing the collection of the corporation tax have beeen approved by Secretary Mac. veagh and will be officially announced tomorrow.
 Principal among the changes is pro- vision for the depreciation of mines, oi or gas wells and other deposits of na- ture. The problem of how to tax prop erly a well or a mine which was being exhausted by continual working was q knotty one and to solve it some of the noted mineral experts in the country were called in to confer Hereafter ir such cases, in computing the net income deduction will be allowed for deprecia- tion from ore and mineral deposits upon the basis of the original capital invest ment cost. A further deduction will also be allowed, though not including the same in the item of gross income, for the unearned increment represented IT such properties on January 1. 1909
 This will be determined from an esti. mate of the fair market value of the deposits on that date, which will be based on the total disposal value of the deposit exclusive of the value of improvements and development work and will be re- duced to the unit of value, per ton or barrel Deduction will then be allowed on that basis at the rate of the original cost
 Other amendments affecting deprecia- tion are:
 Depreciation of company's stock Is a loss to the stockholders, but not loss to the company issuing it and cannot be allowed as a deduction
 Deduction owing to depreciation of prop. erty must be based on the lifetime of the property, its cost it's value and it's use
 Good will represents the value of a busi- ness over and above the value of the property and is chargeabe only to capital investment account. and is not an allow able deduction from the income.
 Removal of timber from lands merely by cutting will not be allowed as a depre- ciation. but will be considered a change of form of assets.
 The other amendments affect many classes of corporations.
 Charitable institutions supported by voluntary contributions or state appro- rriations will be exempt from tax
 Building and loan associations whics lend money to others than members are not thereby removed from the exempted class.
 Pensions paid by corporations to retired employees or their families or others de. pendent upon them or on account of in Juries received will be proper deductions under ordinary and necessary expenses ' But gifts or gratuities to employees of a corporation will not be allowed in that class.
 Donations made for persons connected with the operation of a property when limited to charitable institutions, hos pitals or educational institutions, conduct ed for the benefit of employees, will be allowed as deduction.
 Returns for the current year are now being compiled. and Commissioner Cabell of the internal revenue bureau estimates the government will collect about s25- o0o,0o0 this year from the corporation tax.

speech of MT. Clark as merely the ex- pression of an individual
What Clark Said

The annexation doctrine as preached by Representative Clark, speaker-to-be ot the next House, came in the course of his speech in the House yesterday in favor of the agreement. He said
 "I am for it, because I hope to see the day when the American flag will float over every square foot of the British North American possessions clear to the north pole. They are people of our blood. They speak our language. Their insti- tutions are much like ours. They are trained in the difficult art of self-govern- ment My judgment is that If the treaty of 1854 had never been abrogated the chances of consolidation of these two countries would have been much greater than they are now"
 Representative Norris said, as he un- derstood it. MT. Clark favored the bill for at least one reason; that it will have a tendency in the end to bring Canada into the union.
 Yes" answered MT. Clark, 'I have no doubt of it."
 Asked whether that would have a tend- ency to preserve peace with Great Brit ain. MT. Clark said:
 "Why, certainly it will. I do not have any doubt whatever that the day Is not far distant when Great Britain will joy fully see all her North American pos sessions become a part of this republic. That Is the way things are tending now"

WHITE SOx MAY PLAY
At TERRITORIAL FAIR
Great Pitcher Addresses Letter to
Phoenix Fan.-Planning Western

Wild Bill Lang, known TO some as
Iron Bill, the famous pitcher Of the
White Sox, was bitten by the flea of
literary composition last week, and
he sat down To write j letter. There
Is nothing extraordinary about writing
a letter, but this letter was of interest
To Phoenix because ii was directed To
q Christensen, city passenger agent
of the Santa Fe, and it's subject mat
ter concerned Il possible trip of the
great White SoX to Arizona this fall
in time to attend the territorial fair.
Yesterday was the proudest day of
Christiansen's young life. He forgot
all about the ticket sales of the Santa
Re. and scared To an altitude of per-
sonal satisfaction that is only known
by ball fans when they receive let
ter from some great celebrity And
Iron Bill is some celebrity He has
won one game better than half Of the
games he pitched this season, and is as
well known all over the east as Mel
lis is known over Phoenix.
An invitation was extended to the
White Sox on July y, through Chris
Hansen, who is well acquainted with
him, to come To Phoenix during fair
week, and play 4 game with some val
lev team Lang replied in the letter
received Yesterday that he would try
To bring the White SoX if possible. and
that. failing to get them, he would try
TO bring out a picked team from the
major leagues. He wants all eN-
penses paid.-and as soon as the
question of expense can be settled,
another letter will be sent east telling
him to get his men together and pre-
pare for the trip.
Nothing has been done about get
ting team together To meet the
White Sox if they come To the Salt
River Valley. but il is thought that
the best the city will be able to do
will be to put them up against the
champions Of the valley. the Fords, at
this time, who will have to have
special score cards made To keep a
record Of the runs made by the SoX-t

RUTH CHANDLER
 MAKES 4 BIG HI

Miss Ruth Chandler, who is appear ing at the Orpheum this week, is in deed one of the best monologists of the many who have appeared at the local theater She is billed as The Unhappy Maid" but her audience was far from unhappy" during any part of her act. In fact the act was far too short for them and she was forced to take several curtain calls at both performances
 She sang a comedy entitled "The Unhappy Maid which was full oi fun and a take-off on herself as the old Maid" this number put her au- dience in fine humor which increased as she went through her monologue
 It is indeed a pleasure to break away from the ordinary run of vaude vile and Miss Chandler's act is many miles above the ordinary.
 Grindell and Henry furnished a talking-singing and dancing act which was well liked
 In Motion Pictures Widow Pog sons Husband" Moss Covered Ruins on the Isie of Wight, Great Britain" For the Honor of the Name" and "Bess Of the Forest" were shown. The program win be re peated tonight and a change of pic. lures will be seen Friday.

 IN LOS ANGELES
Miss Nobody From Stahandn Receives Approval
 of Examiner

The following very favorable criti, cism Of Miss Nobody from starland' which will be presented at the Or. pheum on October II, is taken from the Los Angeles Examiner:
 A musical comedy that is by far the best Los Angeles has seen this or probably any recent season, is at the Majestic theater in Miss Nobody from Starland."
 Miss Olive Vail is the prima donna of the company; as she is a native a local girl who has acquired some distinction, l expected to have to be nice to her from local patriotism; i; but Miss Vail has sufficient voice, plenty of charm, and an appreciation of humor rarely found in women who can sing well, to command local at tention; just as much so as if she had been born in Kenosha.
 There is something of a story, but this is submerged from the beginning in overwhelming fun, clever special, ties and more clever burlesques.
 The second act contains a scene showing the production of a comedy back of the curtain, and here the fun becomes so constant as to approach a surfeit; it is only the alert attention to the captivating bits which dot the scene, that prevent you from hay ing mysteries or hiccoughs.
 But the star of the piece is Miss Beaumonte, who dances in a way that Is equally novel and harmonious; she has stride step and a serpentine sud denness that makes her steps unique and thereby startling. Her dancing as well as her burlesque of an Italian girl are dramtic in the extreme; in fact, her buTlesQue, while full of hu nor. was equally full of dignity.
 And there is a soubrette who dances like a fay. and comedians who are funny without having to work themselves into precipitation it. their effort; and most of the chorus girls are young and good looking, and the fun is good, snappy, honest hu nor. and almost everyone in the cast is particularly clever.
 What more can you ask? You get three hours of solid fun, such fun that even the local managers and actors in the audience said that both the show and the company were corkers.
 There is nothing great in it, but there is lot of what is more enter taining. iEu
