COACH HOFFMAN
Cues TO TULANE
Star Who Coached A. & M. Eleven to
Victory viii be Assistant to
Mason.

Jackson, Miss, March 5.-Arthur d.
Hoffman, assistant coach of the foot
ball squad of the Mississippi A & M.
college, has resigned his position to
become assistant under Coach A. A.
Mason, of Tulane University, of New
Orleans. He will shortly enter Tulane
as a law student, and when the first
brisk breezes of early autumn are felt
he will begin his work on the Olive
and Blue team under Coach Mason.
Hoffman was brought to Mississippi
by Coach Chadwick, last season, and it
was partly through his work that the
3 Starkville boys were able to down the
aggressive eleven of "Ole Miss" Hoff-
man is a graduate of the University of
Chicago, and is one of the fastest
tackles turned out of that institution.
He was picked for the All-Illinois elev-
en-, and on account of his weight of $50
pounds and his aggressiveness he
gained a wide reputation as a tackle.
He has also been regarded as one of
the fastest basketball players in the
country
Hoffman came into prominence in
the south after the notable victory of
the Aggies over the University of Mis-
sissippi, at Jackson, on Thanksgiving
day Coach Mason opened negotia-
tons with Hoffman after the Tulane
A. & M. game, at Starkville That the
Tulane Athletic Association consider
Hoffman the best material possible is
evident by the fact that they allowed
the offer made to him to remain open
since the close of the season.
Coach Hoffman will probably secure
the appointment of physical instruc-
tor at Tulane. He is an all-round
athlete, and with the proper sort of en-
enlargement will turn out fast field
and track team for Olive and Blue this
coming spring.

company's income for taxation pur-
poses. The question is. Of course, as
complex as the problem of mine vaiua-
ton itself and as difficult to decide In
rational way as the future Of an un-
developed ore deposit. The tax is i'm
posed upon net income, and In the de-
determination OF this income certain
deductions are allowed. among them
reasonable allowance for deprecia-
tion of property" Wise investors In
mines are accustomed to considering
their dividends as In part the interest
upon their investment and in part the
return Of their capital, the apportion-
ment being determined by the probable
life of the mine and the possible varia-
tons In the rate of net profit from year
to year. Under this principle the tax
able net income Of mining company
during any year should be the ordinary
net income less the amount thereof
which should be set aside for the amor
tization Of capital. The deduction
should be such as to leave the full cap
tal to the company at the end of the
period in which the mine is exhausted.
The point seems to involve the re-
cognition or unrecognition of the COM
pany's capital account by the govern
ment. II the interests of the capital
accounts are acknowledged it may well
be said that any mine which has al
ready redeemed Its capital should not
henceforth be entitled to consider the
depreciation Of its ore reserves, while
1t would then be possible, perhaps, for
a mining company to initiate its capital
so as to absorb all the taxable income
In this latter event, 1t would be neces-
sary to consider only actual paid-in
capital at the beginning Of operations.
One difficulty is that the corporation
tax law operates only from one year
to another and each years net income
is an absolute item unrelated to any
other years net income.

TAXING NINE INCOMES.

Some difference Of opinion exists as
to the procedure which should be fol-
lowed in estimating the taxable in
come Of mining corporations under the
federal law adopted, three years ago.
1t is matter that will have to come
before the United States supreme
court. as the lower courts are evidently
not as unit upon the issues. The
question reverts to the Interpretation
OF the depreciation of property for
which reasonable allowance may be
deducted from the taxable income un
der the law. The removal of ore from
a mine is commonly interpreted by ac-
countants as measure of deprecia-
tlon in value, and accordingly numer-
Gus contests are being waged by min
ing corporations to secure the recog-
milton Of this form of depreciation in
the tax assessment Of the government.
A variety of views has been expressed,
and the general controversy will prob
ably end in one all-important decision
by the supreme court, comments Min
Ing Science.
A United States Judge has recently
urged that the application of the rule

LAST OF THE EMPIRES.

Kaiser Wilhelm of Germany has said
"All the world will be republican with
In fifty years. Germany will be the
last of the empires. 1t is inevitable. .
The German emperor is said to have
used these words in a conversation
with Karl Won Kroon, the historian.
The emperor added that his son would
be the last hereditary ruler of Ger
many.
The Tacoma Ledger comments as
follows on this prophecy:
Republican tendencies throughout
the world are unmistakeable. Consider
Portugal and China, where radical
changes In form of government have
been achieved or are in process of
achievement. In countries already re-
publican in form, q tendency toward
what is called pure democracy is evil
dent. A great many people have a
desire to do things themselves they
heretofore entrusted to representatives.
Whether machinery of government can
be devised to make pure democracy
successful to countries of large area
and population is serious question.
There is no doubt, though, that con-
siderable number of citizens are ad-
vising the experiment, and the danger
Of the present time is that so much
new will be undertaken that we shall
lose what has been found good in the
old
The emperor of Germany is certainly
right about the growth of republican
Whether his son will be
the last of the emperors is another
question. Great Britain has long had
a government practically republican,
yet there is a king. The power he ex-
ercises is less than the power exercised
BY the president of the United States.
1t does not appear that there is any ,,
considerable demand in Great Britain |

people Of Great Britain seem to be
pretty well satisfied so long as they
rave kings like the present one. and
