any other agency could do toward
solution of the vexed tax problem with
which many if not all of the states
are confronted.
The trouble with our tax system is
not so much statutory as administra-
tive. No state, / think, is suffering to
a great extent because of too little tax
legislation. 1t is not new tax legisla-
ton that we most want, but a simplifi-
cation of the laws we already have and
improved methods of their administra-
tion.
''In nearly every state, we find the tax
doctor who. whenever any tax bill APP
pears to him, runs TO the legislature for
a remedy. The result is that we are
almost constantly enacting new tax leg
islation, which becomes more and more
confusing to the tax-paying people. The
influences of a national association OF
tax officers would surely work for inn
provement in such conditions"
Mr.. Lord cited the present association
of state tax officials of the New Eng
land states as in evidence of the bene-
fetal results to be obtained,
"There is no question: he said, "that
these meetings of taxing officials. where
administrative problems are freely dis
cussed are productive of much good in
that there is an apparent improvement
in administrative methods and better
understanding of the governing tax sta
tutes. II is hoped that those states
which have not yet formed similar or
ganization will soon do So"

II TAXATION
REFORM MOVES
Committe Submitted Recommendations
to National Tax Association at
San Francisco.

San Francisco, Aug. l3.-The report
of the committee of the National Tax
association on the federal income tax
law was made to the national conference
on taxation last night, setting forth
seventeen district recommendations,
which received the support of all the
members OF the committee. Prof. L. R.
A. selignian, of Columbia university, is
chairman of this committee, which in
cludes a number of men prominent as
students of taxation systems. The chief
recommendation of the committee were
summarized as follows:
"That the system of collection-at
source be abandoned and system of in
formation-at-s source substituted except
as to nonresident American citizens and
as to nonresident aliens to the extent
that they are taxable.
"That partnerships should be treat
ed like corporations in the collection of
the normal tax.
THAT individuals should be allowed to
deduct all losses whether incurred in
trade or not; also all expenses of man
aging investments. This recommends
ton would meet widespread present
criticism.
THAT the exemption should be low
cred TO $1,000 on the ground that the
tax should rest upon larger proper
tion of the population.
"That all persons having gross in
come equal TO the minimum exemption
should file return instead of as now only
those who themselves decide that their
net income is over the exempt amount.
THAT corporations ohould not be
taxed on dividends received from other
taxable corporations"
Following the specific recommends
tions, the committee discusses general
matters which IL thinks should be con-
sidered in any general reconstruction of
the act when that shall be undertaken.
Ii refers 20 the departure in various in
stances from the fundamental concep-
tion Of income and instances the omis-
sion OF rental value of a house as in.
come 70 the owner thus giving him an
unfair advantage as compared with the
renter. IL oritieises the injustice OF the
present law in relation TO double taxa
ton in the case Of aliens and non-resi-
dent American citizens. IL notes the
failure in the income tax law 10 take
account Of the possibilities of differn.
tiation in rate on different kinds Of in
come, for instance, learned" or "un-
earned" and suggests the possibility
that in this country such differentiation
NAV not be necessary to provide just
taxation on account OF the heavy state
and local taxes.
The final general discussion relates
TO the taxation Of corporations and is
suggested BY the peculiar and much com
planned Of limitation on interest deduc-
ton by corporations. The committee
submits the two views. one that an in.
come tax should be- q tax on persons
only. the other that IL should be in part
q business tax and that thus i is unfair
to tax both the individual and the cor.
poration on the same income. IL makes
no recommendation on this point.

Russia and Japan.

War, as does politics, makes strange
bedfellows. Only few years ago Rus
sia and Japan were at each others
threats. Now they are planning to-
gether for the defeat of a common Zoe.
Japan is reported TO have sent all the
big guns she can spare from her coast
forts for Russia's use at the front. In
the manufacture of war munitions, cloth
and leather materials used for the equip
ment of troops and in other ways Japan
is contributing to Russia's needs. That
.Japan's trade and Industrial conditions,
which had suffered much on account OF
the war, should now be much improved
because of her ability TO sell supplies
is TO her good fortune as well as to that
of Russia, which is very eager to get
the goods But Japan's desire to as
sist cannot be all set down to the COM
mercial gain. Doubtless she is praying
that Germany be defeated. II the lat
ter nation should prove triumphant, she
will no doubt recall some unfinished
business she has with Japan. The Eu-
ropean object lesson having taught Jap
an the necessity of laying in, at great
cost. a great stock of arms and ammu-
milton, while she sells some to Russia,
she doubtless hardly knows whether she
wishes the allies would open the Darda-
nelles and give Russia all the ammuni-
ton she needs, or that that waterway
may be kept closed so that she will have
a good market for all the war goods she
can turn out. But in the end, whatever
the Russian arms fail to accomplish the
Japanese arms may be called upon to
do.-Boston Traveller,

MORE PLATINUM PRODUCED.
Placer Miners of California and Oregon
Saved More.

The placer miners of California and
Oregon saved $40 ounces troy of crude
platinum in 1914, as compared with ass
ounces in 1918, according to statistics
collected for the u. S. geological survey
by J. NJ. Hill The greatest increase in
production was in Oregon, which showed
a gain of So ounces.
From this crude platinum 525 ounces OF
metallic platinum was extracted, valued
at S23,625 figured at the average market
price SIS an ounce. The Boss gold

Clark county. Nevada, produced TIC
ounces Of platinum.

The Pope Is Rebuilding His
Efforts to This
= End
PROSPECTS OF END
OF WAR IMPROVED
Germany Is Believed to Be
Holding Out Olive
Branch

Rome, Aug. l3.--Prospects of peace
which until a fortnight ago were con-
sidered remote in well-informed Vatican
circles, now are unexpectedly. improved.
The pope is reported to be optimistic
and is rebuilding his efforts in the hope
that peace by Christmas may be pos
sible.
The impression prevails in the pope's
encourage that the "olive branch" Is Of
fered by Germany--which, unvanquished
and still sufficiently powerful to continue
the war, is able to take the initiative in
a peace movement without assuming the
role OF suppliant. A Lember OF the
papal household who wishes his name
withheld though it may be said that it
is not M. Gerlac, the only German pa
pal chamberlain now at the Vatican
says that, according to indirect infor-
nation available couple of days ago,
Germany expected to propose acceptable
terms OF peace to the allies.
These terms, according to my inform
ant. prove that it is Germany's intention
to end the war without obtaining great
territorial advantages or increasing its
power; that they viii merely safeguard
complete liberty and insist on equal
rights with other nations. If the terms
are accepted by the allies, peace will
follow as a matter of course; but pos
sibly the main difficulties consist in the
lack of sufficient guarantees by the pow
ers to abide by the conditions, since the
war has unfortunately increased distrust
among the nations. 1t is thought, how
ever, that this difficulty might be over
come by finding the requisite formula
especially since the pope is determined
to use his utmost influence in striving for
peace when the outlook is hopeful.
Possibly Germany's terms will be mod
flied in the course of the negotiations;
but once these are opened they are bound
to lead TO practical results because, as my
informant added, all belligerents dread
a second winter campaign, and even If
the war ends in a draw, with nobody
victorious or defeated, all will be willing
to sheathe the sword.
