"As an illustration Of the operation
OF this act will say that there are two
mines having ground Of equal value
and paying dividends in an equal
amount. One mine, which we will call
A, is capitalized for 100000 and the
other which we will call b. Is capital

paying 5000, 900 per annum. The act
provides an allowance Of per cent
on capitalization and which would give
A, $4,000 and b. 100000. A would
be required to pay so per cent war
tax on the difference between the $780,
600 allowed and 100000 dividends,
thus giving a war tax Of $4,000. while
B would not be called upon as the
per cent, 100000, allowed on capi-

pay any war tax and ] would state

Idaho
1T was the intent Of the act that
freight bills should pay per cent but
conditions In Idaho are such that some
OF the properties have TO pay per
cent and then the consumer pays a
per cent additional freight charge. For
instance. some OF the mines operating
in the state ship their ore from the
mine to the concentrating plants On
which they pay per cent upon the
freight bills. The concentrates are
then shipped to the smelter whereupon

tive Committee Called to
Meet at Wallace to Dis
cuss Need of Remedy.
Producers Alarmed Over the
Drop in Silver Caused by
British Embargo and Re-
port Government Intends
to Fix Price Less Than &c
Cents.

so general Is the alarm among the
producers Of metals in this state over
the provisions of the war revenue tax
act, signed by President Wilson Oct.
and its effect upon the producing
mines of Idaho, that call has been
issued for a meeting of the executive
committee of the Idaho Mining asso-
citation at Wallace, Nov. "a at 2:30 p.
m, for conference on the serious
condition arising with respect to the
fixing the price of lead, silver, etc. At
the same conference transportation
taxes, draft conditions affecting labor
and the need of representation by the
producers in the deciding of these vi
tai matters. rather than by manufac-
turing branches of the industry, will
be taken up. All mining men interest
ed are invited to attend the meeting
of the committee. 1t Is held by mining
men that the setting of prices on silver
alleged to be contemplated would close
down some of the big mines in this
state. Steps will be taken to call the
attention Of the administration to the
enue act. IL
WANT FAIR PRICES.
Speaking of the meeting and the sit
uation that confronts the men en-
gagged In the mining industry. Ravenel
Macbeth, secretary of the Idaho Min
ing association, said:
Producers are alarmed over the
drop in silver which was caused by
the British governments embargo on
the importation of silver into India
where the greatest demand exists, and
what amounts to an embargo on the
expectation of silver recently imposed
by the American government and the
statement which, emanates from high
official sources. that it is the inten-
ton of the government to fix price
for silver much less than SO cents and
which, If done. would result in the
closing down of a number of Idaho
mines that are at present giving en-
ployment to a large number of men.
.As to lead. the federal accountants
have about concluded their examina-
ton Of the cost sheets of the various
lead producing properties in the sew
eral lead producing states. and 1t is up
to the lead producer to see that he
receives a fair price for his product in
stead of permitting the manufactures
to fix the price.
