Supreme Court to
Decide Tax Tangle
Question Involves Invento-
ries for Income and
Excess Profits

WASHINGTON, Jan. 12.-On advice
of the Department of Justice, the Blu
rsau of Internal Revenue to-day de-
cidcd to leave to the Supreme Court
determination Of whether, in figuring
income and excess profits for the last
year, inventories may be made on the
basis Of either original cost or present
market value, whichever is lower.
Income and excess profits tax return
forms are. accordingly, changed and
will be issued next week with provision
for reporting on both cases. Taxes
eventually will be collected under the
optional system If the Supreme Court
sustains it, or on cost if the court de-
cdes against the optional plan. Re-
turns must be filed by March /. but the
court will not hear argument until
March a on case involving the dis
puted point. This case, known as
Mitchell VS.. Doyle, was brought origi-
nally in the District Court in Michigan
The Treasury next week will issue
a formal order embodying the new deci
sion. which is regarded as one Of the
most important under the war tax law
The optional plan Of reporting sccur-
tiles was intended mainly to eliminate
the necessity Of actually selling hold
ings Of deprecated value in order to
record losses. Millions of dollars of
taxes are involved

Production for Previous

U-Boat Toll Estimated

Half of That Turned Out

WASHINGTON, Jan. l2.-Amcrica' 5
merchant ship production in 1917 is
put at 901,22 gross tons in reports
made to the Shipping Board. This was
nearly double that Of 1916 and almost
half Of the worlds output Of 1893, 94a
tons that year.
Figures showing construction in
other countries in 1917 have not been
received in this country, but Shipping
board officials believe America led the
world in tonnage output. England and
Japan, they said, probably were the
only countries that increased their pro-
ductlon over that Of 1916.
Sinkings by submarines in 1917 are
generally rcckoned at 100000 tons.
probably about twice as much tonnage
IS was built.
England now is building ships at n
last rate and Japan xas increased
greatly its construction, but Just now
operations arc hampercd by lack Of
steel. Other countries are building few
ships.
The Shipping Board to-day decided
to remove from the Great Lakes an
additional thirty ships for ocean SER
vice. The vessels will be cut in half
this winter and will be removed
through the Wclland Canal and reas-
semblcd when navigation is resumed
in the spring. Already forty-two ships
have been brought out.

Government experts are rather doubt

say nearly every formula existing for
making dyes is known to British chem
lists and that if any new ones arc put
on the market the formula can be dis
covered. Regarding this point Leyland
said:
"Whilc. VIC knew the bases of the
German dyes we did not know how TO
make use of this knowledge. That is
because the secret was jealousy
guarded by the Germans. At the
badische factories. where more than
eoo expert chemists are employed, each
man is confined to his own special
work and is not allowed to know any
thing beyond it, and in this way the
secret of the formul;c is guarded.
Chemicals Very Valuable
"Although millions of dollars worth
of dye will be sold each year it is pos
sible that the chemicals arising from
the preparation may be worth as much
again"
This is one side of the great dive
story: Meanwhile the disclosures arc
creating little or no disturbance or ex-
element here. either in government
circles or among the public. Officials
are frankly skeptical concerning all the
things claimed for the secret

said, was defeated twice. and after its
second defeat John A. Penton, secre-
