MINING CONGRESS DEMANDS
 EXCESS WAR TAX CHANCE

talization, the greater the deduction, so that the more conservative mining company with its low capitalization is required to pay much higher tax upon its excess income.
 The common interest in the problem mentioned has already welded together a great number of mining men into an effective organization which is CO., operating with the American Mining Congress to secure the attention of the treasury department and the national law makers. Repeated conferences have been held and the appointment of committee of sixteen to advise with the Commissioner of Revenue has taken place. This committee was created in response to a resolution asking each of the various branches of the "exhausting" industries to ap- point two members.
 The objections raised by the min ing and oil men do not indicate any desire to evade taxation, but rather a wish to equalize the burden among mineral producers possessing a simi- lar status.
 The committee of sixteen has sug- gested to the Excess profits Advisory Committee an amendment to Section POT of the War Tax Law. This pro- posed amendment is based upon a rec ognition of a different principle of taxation necessary to the depicting assets of mining and oil corporations. The Advisory Board seems to acknowl- edge that this class of corporations should have been especially considered in the drafting of the law and diff ferentiation of regulations provided. The mining men assert that in numer- ous instances the effect of the act is to invite mine operators to sacrifice time and capital for the sake of full filling their patriotic duty to the gov ernment in the production of raw ma terials.
 The committee of sixteen met last week with representatives of the Treasury Department, at the head quarters of the American Mining Congress, and the recommendations and proposed amendment were draft ed after prolonged conference. The mining men say that, at a time when the nation is in exceptional need of metals, it is unwise to discourage their industries by the enforcement of in i equitable legislation.
 Another point which has caused much concern is the ruling of the revenue commissioner that so-called treasury stock sales, as generally un- derstood in the west, are to be classed as income, subject to the exceptional rates of taxation borne by other forms of income.

WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. l. 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 urging a brief amendment to Section POT of the act to remedy what they consider a very serious mistake. Min ing and oil men from east and west have been in Washington since con- gress assembled and they have sue ceeded in convincing members of the Advisory Board of the Revenue Com missioner that an oversight occurred in the framing of the law.
 One of the serious blunders of the Revenue Tax Act, according to the mind operators, is that the deductions which corporations are permitted to make are based upon capital stock in- stead of invested capital. This provi- sion of the law creates very serious inequalities of taxation between mine and oil wells which possess practically the same status of production.
 For example, two neighbOring min ing companies in a western state earn ing about S1,5OO,0O0 each. One of these possesses a capital stock of S1S,- 100000 and the other S250,000. The deduction of nine per cent extin- guishes tha taxable income of the S1S,OOO,O0O company and leaves 1t tax free under the law, while the other company is entitled to a deduction of only S22,5OO from its earnings of S1,5OO,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 changing the law.
 In the case of two contiguous oil companies in Oklahoma, each possess ing 16O acres and producing about equal amounts of oil, one is capitalized at S2O,OOO and the other at S5QOOO,- 900. The company of small capitaliza- tion must pay a burdensome tax while the other is exempt.
 Numerous instances of such ln- equalities have been brought to public attention.
 The law provides for the deduction of not less than per cent nor more than g per cent of the invested capl- tai as a basis upon which the pro gressive assessment of excess profits is determined. The higher the capl'

YELLED THREAT IN
 FUEL BOSS UkASE
Non-ESsentiaI Plants Should Cut
 Coal Consumption One-Fourth

Thomas W. Russell, United States fuel administrator for Connectcut and chairman of the coal conmittec of the Connecticut State Councll or Defense. has issued q. statement strong ly recommending all manufacturers who arc not working on government orders to reduce their consumption of coal by at least 25 per cent. The recommendation is followed by the significant statement that 'it would as these to shorten their hours of labor or reduce the number of their working days than to keep up their present rate of operation for a timo and be forced to close entirely in the near future"
 MT Russell also warns people who are disrega rding the fedaral order in regard to lightless nights that con tinuance of their present attitude is likely to result in the entire cutting off of their suppy of electricity.
 Administrators Statement.
 The statement follows:-
 "In view of the present critical coal supply situation and the fact that it appears likely the situation will con- tnuc critical for some time to come The United States Fuel Adninistra- ton for Connecticut thinks that a statement regarding the present out look Is due the people of the state The first consideration of the admin lstratlon is that the homes of the people be kept warm and that hospi- ta.ls and similar institutions be sup piled with enough coal to keep them comfortable. The public utilities must also be kept in operation. The people must have gas to cook with trolley cars to ride in and electric
 Tn addition to this, factories man. ufacturing equipment for the Army and Navy or the Red Cross must be kept in operation so that the men who are fighting for us may not be handicapped by lack of adequate equipment But in view of the fact that there are so many factories in government orders it is getting to be increasingly difficult to keep them supplied with coal enough for their operation without robbing homes and public utilities of their necessary supplies.
 ''It now appears. therefore. that 1t is going to be extremely difficult to secure adequate supplies of coal for the operation of factories and power plants which are not working on gov ernment orders, and the fuel admins

GARDNER TO LIE IN STATE
Former Congressman's Body to Be Buried in Arlington National Cemc- tcry, Following Ceremonies.

Macon, Ga, Jan. 15.-Preparations were completed here today to take to Washington the body of Major Augustus Peabody Gardner, former Massachusetts congressma an. who died of pneumonia at Camp Wheeler late yesterday. It was planned that Mrs. Gardner, accompanied by Major Keenan of the 106th sanitary division, should take the body to Washington, where it will lie in state. Burial will be later at Arlington cemetery.
 Shortly after the outbreak of war MT. Gardner gave up his seat in con- gress. where he was known as a staunch advocate of military pre- paredness, to go into the army and was commissioned a colonel. At his own request he was reduced to the rank of major in order that he might see more active service.
 Major Gardner contracted a severe cold a fortnight ago on the rife range here and last week pneumonia de- veloped. Mrs. Gardner came here from her home in Hamilton, Mass.

The remarkable and record
