FAvCRS MINING

For several .years back operat.
ing mining companies have
strenouusly resented the federal
corporation tax more than any
other form of organization that
was made ameable to that
revenue producing measure.
Mining concerns base their com.
plants largely on the basis that it
would be impossible for them to
pay tax on net earnings without
being allowed to strike off a
prorata depreciation of the
diminishing assets that follow as a
matter of course where mining
operations are pursued. The sub
jcct matter from which their
earnings are derived cannot be
replcnished by anything that may
happen in that portion of the
property from which the ore has
been taken.
One Of the first mining corpora
tons to push its case through the
courts on this question was that of
the Nlpi>sing company, which
received favorable ruling on its
contention through decision
rendered by Judge Lacombe.
Judge Lacombs in an opinion
favoring the position taken by the
company counsel based his deci-
sion on the ground that the
government had not the right ia
collect tax on the net income of
Il company as measured by tia
dividends to Stockholders, but
must allow for the depreciation
on the cGmpany's mining property
caused by the exhaustion of the
ore supply. 1t was a partial ad-
mission that mining dividends are
in part refund of capital derived
from the exploitation Of wasting
assets.
In Gaze the decision is upheld it
is estimated that the government
may lose bout 80 per cent of the
revenue drcruing from the appli-
cation Of the CORPORATION tax t.
mining concerns. Ii the case is
upheld ~ the Supreme court it is
figured that the United States
government may lose between
100000, and SIS. 100000 in
annual tevenues. Mining Age.

THE DIFFERENCE

1T is refreshing and significant
to note" said Congressman James
7. Lloyd, Chairman of the DemcO-
ratio Congressional Committee,
that with all the clamor and
ratcket that is going on incident
to the campaign for delegates to
the National Convention, nobody
is accusing the democrats of using
money to corrupt the primaries.
We have the evidence in the form
of sworn statements, that the
Roosevelt managers spent 81 for
every vote they got in New York,
and that twJ million dollars was
spent by the Republican candidates
in the Pennsylvania primary, and
that money was spent like water
by the Republicans in their fight in
Maryland"

of elephant.

The following is an instance OF an
elephants good manners and of the
l'tenaci;y with which an idea once re-
ceived by him adheres in his men,
DRY.
When visiting the London Zoo, an
Enslishman who had seen service in
India got permission for his children
to ride on one of the elephants. After
The ride he wished to give the beast
bun and to make him say Please"
using in this connection the phrase
"Salaam kuro" (make salaam).
The man animal regarded the man
gravely for some time, eagerly eyeing
the bun in his hand. At last memory
came to the pachyderm's aid. and I'D
went his trunk, and he made Il most
correct salaam.
inc beasts keeper was much as
tonished, asking what the performance
meant. The Britisher explained that
1t was point of good manners for an
elephant TO raise his trunk up to his
forehead If anyone was going to feed
him, and that frequently elephants
would ask in this polite manner for
something when they encountered
anyone who seemed likely 10 offer
them food.
The keeper assured the visitor that
he had never seen the elephant DO this
hefore, and that he had been ia
charge of the beast since its arrival
from India long time since. For II
years this animal had never heard
these words, and had always taken
his food without this mark of good
manners.-The Sunday Magazine.
