gested to the eXees profts advisory
committee an amendment 10 Section
e0T of the war tax Law This proposed
amendment Is based upon a recognL
ton OF different principle OF taxa
ton necessary to the depicting assets
OF mining and oil corporations. The
advisory board seems to acknowledge
that this class of corporations should
have been especially considered in the
drafting of the Law and n diHerentia-
ton of regulations provided. The m:c-
s2E men assert that in numerous in
stances the effect OF the act Is to in.
wife mine operators TO sacrifice time
and capital for the sake OF fulfilling
their patriotic duty TO the government
n the production OF raw materials.
The committee Of sixteen met last
week with representatives OF the
treasury department at the headquar.
tiers % the mining congress in Wash
ington. D. C, and the recommends
lions and proposed amendments were
drafted after prolonged conference.
The mining men say that, at time
when the hatiion is in exceptional
need OF metals. lit : unwise TO dis
courage their industries By the en-
torcement Of inequitable legislation.
Another point which has caused
much concern Is the ruling the re-
venue commissioner that so-called
treasury stock sales. as generally I'M
de-stOod in the west. are to be cIassed
as income. subject to the exceptional
rates OF taxation borne by other forms
OF income.

CHANGE NEEDED IN
THE REVENUE ACT
Is Particularly Unfair to Mining
Companies of Small
Capitalization

Through the failure OF congress TO
recognize the depicting character Of
mining. oil and gas properties in the
excess profits tax act. the mining and
oil men OF the United States are urg.
ing brief amendment TO Section 2O7
:! he art TO remedy what they con
slider q very serious mistake. Mining
and oil men from east and west have
been in Washington since congress as
sembled and they have succeeded in
convincing members OF the advisory
board Of the revenue commissioner
that an oversight occurred in framing
OF the law.
One OF 'he serious blunders Of The
revenue tax act, according to the mine
operators. 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 inequali-
/ ties OF taxation between mine and oil
wells which possess practically the
same status OF production.
For example. two neighboring min.
ing companies in q western state ern-
Ing about Sl,5CO,oO0 each. One Of
these possesses a capital stock Of SIS
7 00O.0O0 and the other S250,G0C. The
deduction OF . per cent extinrulshes
the taxable income OF the $4,000 600
company and leaves il tax free under
the law willie the other company Is en-
titled 10 a deduction OF only S22,5 500
/ from its earnings OF sl.50O,000. The
company possessing the large capital
is entirely willing TO submit TO a TAX
burden equal 10 that OF its neighbor.
and is assisting in the ork OF chang
ing the law.
In The case OF two contiguous oil
companies in Oklahoma, each possess
ing lso acres and producing about
. equal amounts OF oil. one is capitalized
at $4,000 and the other at $4,000, 600
: The company of small capitalization
must pay a buTLensome tax, while the
other Is exempt.
. Numerous instances Of such Unequal
tiles have been brought TO public at
tcntion
. The Law provides for the deduction
Of not less than : per cent nor more
than 9 per cent Of the invested capital
as a basis upon which the progressive
assessment OF excess profits Is deter
mined. The higher the capitalization
the greater the deduction. so that the
more conservative mining company
with its low capitalization is required
TO pay q much higher tax upon its ex,
cess income
The common interest in the prob
lew mentioned has already welded to.

cooperating with the American Min
ing Congress 10 secure the attention OF
the treasury department and the IA
tionaI lawmakers. Repeated confer

A SPECIMEN OF
 AMERICAN PEP'

Paris, June 19.-Under the heading, American Pep," La Liberte recounts an incident or "quiet" sector occu- pied by American troops. After q few days training in the trenches it was decided to carry out little raid under the direction of French sub- lieutenant. The raid was completely successful, all the enemy being killed Or taken prisoner.
 The raiding party devoted itself for some time to the destruction of ma chine gun emplacements and dugouts. But when the time came to return it was discovered that dozen Americans were missing. They could not possib- ly have been captured; so the leader of the party decided to wait a few minutes. Soon the missing men re- appeared, escorting 17 Germans and carrying two machine guns.
 They explained that the raid was a sort of lesson which they had mister ed so quickly that they had gone on and entered the German second line and brought back some samples of prisoners to demonstrate their apt ness.
