Ct. n. S. Staff Correspondent
WASHINGTON. Dec. 12.-Congress
was today taking an inventory of
American progress in the European
war. 1t has given the administration
nine months of complete and unques-
tioning support in the conduct of the
war. 1t is going to continue doing
so. But it has a lot of questions to
ask and it has decided to ask them
in no hostile spirit, but with a de-
termination to obtain for itself and
the country just how and where the
United States stands today in the great
war.
A veritable epidemic of inyestiga-
ton has set in. Today Investigations
were actually under way, or ready to
be begun, in these important questions.
The condition of the army particu-
lar in training camps.
The reason for the shortages Of
sugar and coal
What steps can best remedy the
railroad situation.
How far the right of free speech per-
mits a senator to go in expressing his
views on the war, with particular ref
erence to the utterances of Senator
Robert NJ. LaFollette
Much of the probing has been mi
tiated on the Republican side.
The military affairs committee is
ready to proceed at once with the in
quiry into the military situation. 1t is
going to call in Secretary of War Ba-
ker, practically the whole general
staff and many officers and men who
have knowledge of the situation in
the various cantonments.
They have varied assortment OF
other questions to ask. The military
oil fha nncifinD
that the country and congress will
both be better fitted to face the ne
cessities of the war if it knows just
how matters stand in the army.
The senate manufactures commit
tee met today to map out its program
for it's probe into the coal and sugar
shortages This investigation will re
open the feud between Senator Reed
of Missouri, and Herbert G. Hoover
food administrator, and they are al
most certain to clash on the witnes:
stand Senator Reed is chairman O
the investigating committee and Mr.
Hoover will be one of the first wit
nesses. The investigation was inaug
urated by Senator Lodge, of Massachu
sets, one of the Republican leaders.
The joint congressional railroads
committee today renewed its efforts tC
learn what is wrong with the rail
roads. 1t had numerous members o.
state railroad commissions scheduled
to appear before it as witnesses.
The senate privileges and elections
committee is still maneuvering to dis
cover the best way Of proceeding C
the investigation of Senator LaFol
lette's disloyal utterances. 1t may b'
forced to sit during the Christmas hol
idays. Members today denied Their,
was any intention of abandoning the
inquiry and declared their intention
of going to the bottom of the big ques
tons involved in the case.

united effort is made towards getting the excess profit tax law strengthened out on the tax schedule and on this matter of depletion deduction.
 Personally, l believe that the proper basis for depletion is the actual prop erty investment plus the initial devel- Cpment prior to actual production, plus interest at the rate or 6 per cent an- nually upon the total mine investment up to beginning of actual production.
 There is no doubt that the general public and even a large percent of the stockholders of mining companies have a very vague understanding of the mining business and to this misunder- standing is due considerable of the present ambiguous mining laws. In my opinion one of the reasons for this confusion in the minds of people in general as to the mining business is the lack of uniformity and definite ness in reporting the results of yearly operations by the companies of costs, production and sales. etc, as set forth in the reports of the general managers and of the treasurers.
 l believe that it would be to the in- terest of the mining companies to get together and endeavor to agree upon some uniformity ill expressing the re- suits of operations and to definitely set forth the meaning of the mining terms used in expressing the result: of operations.
 The above is my interpretation oi the War Tax Law as applicable tC domestic corporations and on those points only as set forth. There has been no endeavor to cover the matter completely. but simply to give an out line nf this very complicated and rath- CT ambisuous law

 To strike out the words "at the time of such payment" in Section 2e1, which is particularly to the disadvan- tage of small operators, who are de- barred by it from any benefits from money expended in exploration before they make mine.
 To secure interpretation of the words earned surplus in Section 297 to mean inclusion of the values of ores and mineral deposits discovered and devel- oped since organization of the company and therefore to be reasonable consid- cred as invested capital.
 Unless these constructions can be secured, the mining industry will be seriously crippled in it's most serious part-the legs-whicn the small pro- ducers represent

MINING CONGRESS CONSIDERS
 INCOME LAW NOTIFICATIONS

Bringing into prominence for the first time that it is the leaser and the small producers, together with the miner and the Workmen in the copper products factories of the east. upon whom the brunt of hardship resulting from decreased copper production must fall, mining men who have been here from all over the state the last two days, adjourned the sessions of the Arizona Chapter, American Mining Congress yesterday afternoon
 Resolutions were forwarded the gov rrnors of the mining states, the chap ters of the Mining Congress in these states and the departments and boards Interested at Washington in metal price fiNation and income tax law in terpretatiOns, urging that the side of the industry be considered which re- lates to costs of production of metal. Involving the maintenance of the high wages which are necessary to fair profit for the workmen in the mining states. Without the fair considera- ton by Washington of the costs side, particularly as relating to small pro- ducers. it is borne in by the resolu- tiOns that the maximum output of metal cannot be secured and that Ari- ZOna's loss of metal on a price reduc- ton alone would amount to more than 10U, 1000, 900 pounds of copper the year.
 A resolution sent to Washington yes terday morning and transmitted to the various mining states through the American Mining Congress organiza- ton by the Arizona chapter. advanced the following recommendations of

place shall be determined However, if the law and the rulings base de- pletion upon the net value of the ore or mineral in place it should treat all companies alike and when the fair market value Is less than the actual investment in mine property, then the latter should be taken il order not to make the property show profit when it actually had loss.
 To illustrate the difference that the two ways of figuring depletion would make, We will say that Company A
 instead of having acquired it's mine property since Marcn 1, 1913. had ac- qulred 1t prior to that date. and that about the latter date it had had a bona fide offer for the sale of it's property equal to five million dollars net for the mine property itself. Then ac- cordinS to the rulings of the Treasury Department, Company A would be al lowed to base it's depletion deduction
 upon this value of the mineral depos- US and make it's yearly depleutsn de- ductloh at the rate uf five dollars per dry ton of ore mined and treated. in- stead of at the rate of the actual in- vestment in the ore. Therefore on
 lS0,O0 dry tons there would he an in crease in the depletion deduction of i S325,000 above the actual investment in the ore. This would reduce the earnings of Company A $S250O and would reduce the present years war ] excess profit tax the sum of s155.325
 Besides it would reduce the war in- come tax at the rate of per cent on

 some questions that will have to h.. ing companies that have acquired tbair solved. If the distinction between rnin property prior 10 March l. 1913 and those thereafter is not abolished are as follows: ''i
 l: When the depletion deduction winch Is based upon the net or esti. mated lar market value of the min efal Tn place as of March 1. 1913 is greater than the actual investment in pioperty, what is to be done with the lesei Ee lof uepletlon when it shall ex- ceed the original investment in nron- | erty?

 ,. When the depletion deduction i. based upon the estimated fair marl,e- | Naiue ot mineral deposits as of MarcF |, l9l3, and the latter is greater thar the actual investment in mine prop efty, then when the market value n ! metal and the condition of the laboi and materials markets are such as f, make the net actual return Der ton .o ore mined and snelted in any one yea less than the estimated value per to, as of March l. 1913, will a company b, allowed to make its. regular depletion deduction and make the business show , loss?
 4. When determining the capital in vested for the purpose of taxation, vii any deduction be made from the orig inal capital invested to offset that DOT tion of the liquidated capital that ha. been paid back to stockholders in div idends.
 Conclusion
 l will say that it is very evident tha the management of mining companie. should get together, and see that ;

Net earnings -............Sl,6 ,64O,OOO
 Having determined the net income, it is then necessary to determine the capital invested. and therefore in or der that we may determine this we will assume that Company A had an annual pre-var income in excess of 9 per cent of its invested capital; had invested all of it's original cash and property paid in as mine property and equipment; had used only the earned surplus in the business as working capital: and had investments out of the previous years surplus only in securities of the United States govern ment; the liquidated capital or capital returned from earnings having been paid out in dividends.
