Organization Alone CQm Get Aid Miners NeedFyom The Us.

In the absence, due to illness. Of Dr. Joseph A. Holmes, director of the federal bureau of mines. the evening session of the American Mining con- gress, which was to have been devoted to a general discussion of bettering mining conditions in the west, was turned over to a series of talks on hoA to improve the influence and standing of the organization That without organization was pointed out by both Secretary Galbreath ad by Assistant Secretary Walcott. The meeting was of members of the con- gress and not as a convention, so 1t came to vote on the question of fin ishing the work by Thursday or per hitting the present program to hold The vote was in favor of hurrying it through.
 Then it was that Walcott rose to ask that every delegate consider the opportunity offered here of studying Arizona mining. ''It is chaotic, but interesting to you men from the high lr organized eastern states he said. In further pursuing the subject, the assistant secretary pointed out the odd situation that conironts the Ari- zona mine owner. owing 10 what he termed freak legislation. Here is one law which says a mine owner may not employ over 20 per cent. of for eign labor. and another which penal izes him if he asks an applicant for d job if he is a foreigner
 Professor William Phillips. the breezy gentleman from Texas, was
 called upon to raise the optimism of
 the meeting with one of his now fam
 ous casually witty dissertations. To
 this speaker had been given the sub | feet of the congress finances, and he
 managed to handle the ordinarily dry subject in a manner that evoked con 1 siderable serious thought. The stand | he took was that the mining industry gets much less aid from the federal l government than the agricultural in dustry. because the farmers have or ganiZed and gone after il, and the
 miners have not-or not so strongly
 as have the farmers. I've need about | four million dollars, and l propose to get it. You never get anything like
 this if you don't first expect to get
 it."

 J. II. Mulholland, a western Cana dian, described the method they use there. Improvements are not a proper subject of taxation Right here. President Sholz in jected an experience of his own with still d third system of mine taxa tion. "I heard Friday the Supreme Court had knocked out the Oklahoma gross s-income tax law, which we have i been fighting for a number of years" :" Chancellor Hereford of the state university wanted to know if mines should not be considered for the pur- poses of taxing as they are in law, as two separate entities-the land and the orc body and it machinery for handling. Allen replied that t9 1 set some arbitrary amount to be raised by mine taxation. and then lpro-rate that amount against the pro ducts of the mine, would not be in any sense an equalization of a states

BRITON'S PREPARE
 FOR 3 YEARS WAR

London, Aug 26-In the House of Lords yesterday Earl Kitchener, as secretary of state for war. intimated that Great Britain. if the emergency arose, was prepared to call sufficient men to the colors to equal Gernanys S immense army. In the House of Com mons, the prime minister admitted the gravity Of the latest dispatches from the front, saying that the British cas- ualties were estimated by Field Mar sshaI Sir John French at over 1000. Two, or even three years of war are discussed as the probable prospect be- fore the world. High authorities are cited as supporting this view. Lord Kitchener, in his appeal for 100000 men, pointed out that he might want many more, and everything that is still being done by the war office indi- cates that several hundreds of thou sands will be required. All ab1e-bod- jed men under 30 have been called upon to enlist for the period of the war.
