LAW
 INEQUALITIES
 POINTED OUT

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-Through the failure of congress to recognize the depicting character of mining nil ana gas properties in the excess nrof. It's tax act, the mining and oil men or the United States are urging a brief amendment to Section 2O7 of the act to remedy what they consider A very serious mistake. Mining and oil men from East and West have been in Washington since congress assem. bled, and they have succeeded in con. vincing members of the advisory board of the revenue commissioners that an oversight occurred in the fram. ing of the law.
 One of the serious blunders of the revenue act, according to the mine on. erators' is that the deductions which corporations are permitted to make are based upon capital stock instead of invested capital This provision of the law creates very serious fnequali. ties of taxation between mines and oil wells, which possess practically the same status of production.
 For example, two neighboring min ing companies in western state earn about s1,5OO,OOO each. One of these possesses a capital stock of $1S,00O 900 and the other $25O,OOO. The de. duction of per cent extinguishes the taxable income of the $1S,00O, ,0OO company and leaves 1t tax-free under the law, while the other company is entitled to a deduction of only $22,5OO 1 from its earnings of $1,5OO,000 The company possessing the large capital Is entirely willing to submit to a tax burden equal to that of its neighbor and is assisting in the work of chang | ing the law.
 In the case of two contiguous oil companies in Oklahoma, each possess ing 160 acres and producing about equal amounts of oil, one is capitalized at $20,000 and the other at $50.00O The company of small capitalization

must pay a burdensome tax, while the stAsr is exempt
 Numerous instances of such inequal- ities have been brought to public at tention,
 The law provides for the deduction of not less than 7 per cent nor more than per cent of the invested cap ital as a basis upon which the progress sive assessment of excess profits is determined. The higher the capital ization, the greater the deduction, so that the more conservative mining company, with it's low capitalization, is required to pay a much higher tax upon its excess income.
 The common interest in the prob lem mentioned has already welded to- gether a great number of mining men into an effective organization which is cooperating with the American Mining Congress to secure the atten- tion of the treasury department and the national lawmakers. Repeated conferences have been held, and the appointment of committee of sixteen to advise with the commissioner of revenue has taken place. This com mittee was created in response to a resolution asking each of the various branches of the "exhausting" indus tries to appoint a member.
 The objections raised by the mining and oil men do not indicate any desire to evade taxation, but rather a wish to sqnalize the burden among mineral producers possessing similar status

INGLORIOUS FATE
 IF CAYUSE BILLY

Once a prancing steed and now food for a pack of hungry malamutes is the fate of a faithful cayuse owned by our former townsman, D. M. Lynch, a homesteadar living a few miles north of Anchorage.
 MT. Lynch was driving Billy home the other evening and in attempting to cross small creek about two miles from town the animal slipped, fell and broke one of his legs. The only thing left for MT. Lynch was to shoot Billy and put an end to his sufferings. This was done.
 After taking the hide of Billy tC the cabin on the homestead the thought struck Mir Lynch that per haps the carcass of the animal would serve a useful purpose and to this end search was made for prospective buyers of dog feed.
 When the fact became generally known that Billy had passed to the horse heaven, dog mushers who have been experiencing difficulty in pro curing dog feed for their teams, hunt ed up MT. Lynch, with the result that every pound of Billy's carcass is now waiting to be devoured by coracious malamutes. Most of the meat wa. sold to Harry Revell, the mail con tractor, and to Frank Barr, who vii do freighting between Talkeetna ant the Cache creek country for the re mainder of the winter. The mea brought 8 and 10 cents a pound.
 After a careful mathematical cal culation, MT. Lynch has come to tn, conclusion that Billy was worth more when made up into dog feed than whe1 alive.

NEW ORCHESTRA T0
 OFFER BEST MUSIC

Following the announcement of Fransasco Ramos of the Arizona School of Music that he desired to as- sist in the organization of a Philhar- monic society, and his offer to donate his services as director, a movement is now on foot to have all organizations interested, or who would naturally be interested in the providing of good music for the public, to take part in a meeting to elect a basic organization to get the movement under way.
 Professor Ramos suggests that, as the concerts proposed would be not merely a matter of pleasure, but of ed - ucation as well, rendering the best music of the French, Italian and Amer | ican composers, that such a meeting should be participated in by repre- sentatives of the civic bodies school authorities, Y. M. c. A. and all others | interested.
 | He estimates that these concerns can be given by talent to be discovered and developed in Phoenix for a sum of not to exceed $100 per concert. which should be easily met by the sale of | tickets.

WITH 3,155 MEN
 RAY CON, COPPERCO,
 |S OV HONOR ROLL

Breaking all records set by any in dustrial concern in the west, if not in the entire country, the Ray Consoli- dated Copper company has gone over the top for the Fourth Liberty loan with 100 per cent subscription on the part of it's 3.155 employees. Every man on the payroll of tn eRay Consoli- dated has subscribed for a bond.
 Word of the remarkable achieve ment of the Ray Consolidated force was received yesterday in a message from W. $. Boyd, superintendent of mines for that company and was hailed at Liberty loan headquarters as one of the outstanding features of the campaign in Arizona and the entire west, for in addition to more than third of a million subscribed by its employees, the Ray Consolidated has purchased s1,000000 worth of bonds of the Fourth Liberty loan. Of the cOmpany's subscription, one half has been credited to Arizona and one-half to the New York office. The 5000 allotted to Arizona has been divided equally between Ray, where | the mines are located, and Hayden, | the concentrator city. This appor- | tionment gives a quarter. of a million ! l to Gila county, in which Hayden is | located
 The report of this remarkable sub | scriptiOn in detail follows:
 At the mines:
 Number of subscribers, 2,360
 Amount subscribed, $220,700
 Average subscription, $9352.
 At the concentrator:
 Number of subscribers, 795.
 Amount subscribed $113,S50. Average subscription, $143.20.
 Totals for mines and concentrator:
 Number of men. 3,155.
 Amount subscribed, $334,550.
 Average subscription, s10604.
 Adding to the above totals tho amount of the Ray Consolidated sub scriptions of s1,000,00O, gives the Ray Consolidated Copper company and its employees a total subscription to tn, Fourth Liberty loan of s1,334,550
 Subscriptions similar in amount have been made by the Ray Consolidated tC previous loans, while the response O the people of Ray has always beer such as to win highest honors, result ing in that continuity going over thu top not once, but repeatedly. In thu third loan Ray went over the top witi an oversubscription of twenty-tw' times the quota assigned.
 In addition to the subscriptions o employees of the Ray Consolidated noted above, about sS0,000 additiona has been subscribed in Ray, putin, i, that community in the front rank O Arizona communities in the Fourtl Liberty loan.

UNCONDITIONAL
 SURRENDE
Unconditional surrender"

'OnCOnQlIlOndl SurrenQer.
 Following the publication yesterday of the answer of President Wilson to the latest peace proposal of the Ger mans the sentiment has swept over the country from all classes that nothing but unconditional surrender by the Huns will be the signal for cessation of hostilities by the allies who now have the Germans on the way to Berlin at no dignified pace.
 Inquiry was received by The Repub lican last night from a leading news paper in New York city as to whether Phoenix yet had her Unconditional Surrender club?" That such an organ ization would be extremely popular in this city was evidenced from the unan- imouS sentiment expressed by all who commented upon the presidents an swer.
 That unconditional surrender and nothing less would be satisfactory to America and justice to the brave boys who have given their lives in this great war and to the hundreds of thou sands who are at the front ready and willing to make the sacrifice to that end was the expression of all. Most decidedly President Wilson should demand unconditional surrender 1 by Germany before there is an armis- tice,' said Judge Joseph E. Kibbey last night. That is the only course to pur- sue"
 | T am in absolute accord with Presi- dent Wilson in the matter" declared George J. Stoneman last night. "Tht presidents last note would indicate tha unconditional surrender is the only course open to Germany if she want. an end to this war"
 Unconditional surrender is the only thing" said Judge E. w. Lewis. T should be left to the generals in thu field to accept surrender on thos, terms and no other"
 Germany must lay down and giv, up entirely" declared Judge A. Baker last night. ''The only way sh should get peace is by .unconditiona surrender. Nothing less will be ac ceptable.'
 Unconditional surrender and quit. said H. B. Wilkinson last night. "Tha is the only course for Germany; ther is no alternative. Only on those term should the allies stop hostilities"

As to Price of Republican Extras.

When the Republican extra edition was brought over to Mesa on last Sat urday night by newsboys who were buying these papers in Phoenix, they were sold here some at 5 cents and some at 10 cents. The Republican management wishes all readers to know that no copy of the paper must sell at more than the customary price of , cents. Hereafter efforts will be made to protect the public against any such graft on the part of too enter prising newsboys. There is no money in these extra editions, and the Repub- lican is not trying to make money out of them. Whenever, in the judgment of the management, there is any mat ter of importance sufficient to justify the issuance of an extra, it is done, the sole purpose being to give the reading | public the benefit without delay of the
 news. Do not pay more than , cents | for your paper.
