Business Locals
Bisbee daily review., 1918-06-30

The War Tax Law will require a more universally standardized form of report from treasurers to stockholders than heretofore has been the practice and directors and managers Of metal producing companies will have to make at least one published report yearly to their stockholders. In read ing and analyzing current reports from the different mining companies. one is impressed with the lack of uniform ity in the presentation of operation re- suits; and to this fact may be attrib- uted the false impressions of profits made in the mining business apparent ly entertained by the majority of mem- bers in law-making bodies.
 Company Reports Often of Little Value
 Some annual reports are clear. con- else and complete as to the fundamen- tals of operation and production re- suits fer the year. while others are meagre in facts but complete as to unimportant details. Many reports show that there was not a clear idea in the minds of the directors as to what constitutes an intelligent report As an instance in point, some yearly reports devote more than half their space to details such as the character and assay value of each ore stringer and body of ore found in each drift. crosscut and raise, but state nothing as to the actual tonnage developed during the year and remaining avail able in the mine. All the details of production are often given. but nOth- -E...e .l for the production. or what proportion of the production was sold and deliver ed and what is being carried at inven- tory prices. Again, an average price may be given for copper sold. but no information as to whether or not it is the net or gross price. whether for cop per delivered or for yearly sales con tracted or whether it is the price Ob- tained by dividing the total of the cop per sales account by the pounds of copper produced Other reports con- tain all the necessary facts. but give them in such detailed and elaborate form as to be confusing to the average stockholder.
 Therefore. the question that natural ly arises is: What is a yearly report, and what is the purpose of such a re- port? The logical answers are as fol lows:
 A yearly report of board of direc- tors to the stockholders of a company should be an account of the manage ment by the directors of the stock 1 holders property. The purpose of such a report is to show:
 l. The condition of the business of the company at the close of the year
 ?. The results of operations for the year in profit and loss. and in divi- l dends paid or assessments levied.
 g. The setting forth of necessary details and fundamentals of operation in such manner as to permit any intel ligent stockholder to acquaint himself with the expense and cost, production and earnings, etc. of his property; to enable him to make an intelligent com parison of the years results with those

of other properties of like nature and to allow him to judge correctly the future possibilities of his investment fsln making report to the stockhold- CTS. the board usually submits a state ment by the president, presenting: First. the report of the manager GOV ering the details of operations for the year; second. the report of the treas urer. or other official, stating the total costs and earnings for the period and calling attention to the income account as showing the results of the years operations: and, last. the balance sheet. showing the condition of the business at the end of the period. While this is the reverse of the Ratur- al order. 1t is the accepted order gen orally recognized.
 Most companies. in their yearly re- ports. give a balance sheet that shows the true condition of the business a, the time specified. with the possible exception. in the case of the vein mines. of the property account and the surplus account. which are gener- ally excessive because of failure to make proper charges TOT depletion of ore reserves. However. according to the requirements Of the War Tax Law. this probably will be remedied. Also. most companies show a true income statement. but with the objection uSu- ally that it shows net earnings only. instead of the net profit. The reason for this is that deduetionsl are seldom made for depletion of ore reserves and depreciation of equipment. Therefore the disbursements as dividends appear as dividend earnings, when the fact is that a certain percentage of such diyi- dends is in reality invested capital re- turned to the stockholders. This. also. should be Iemedied under the provis- ions of the War Tax Law.
 Lack of Nniformity in Presenting
 Costs
 Many producing companies show some kind of a cost. some only mine production cost, others the operating cost. but few indeed show the total production cost When it comes 70 giving full, complete and intelligent facts from operations, showing eN- pense, costs. productions. sales. etc. that can be of use to the stockholder. there is either such a scarcity of real information or such a confusion of de tails that the average stockholder Is unable to arrive at correct or intelli- gent conclusion as to the merits or de merits of his investment
 The forms submitted herewith are presented as suggestions as to the facts which should be given in a re- port to stockholders. The informstiOn specified should be detailed in the general managers report and the treasurer's report. and these are the important parts of the yearly state ment to stockholders. The income ae- count and the balance sheet are shown in order to give continuity and uni formity to the yearly report. and to indicate the income. dividends. and the statement of the condition of the business. as required by the War Tax

WAR TO END THIS YEAR
SAYS NOTED ASTROLOCER

1t can be stated more or less re-
liably that the war will end in the
summer of 1918. We have the word
of an eminent astrologer for it, He
reads it in the stars.
While there has been considerable
discussion as to who started the war,
where it started and how, this as
trolOger settles the matter by blam-
ing the whole thing on the solar sys-
tenn. Hear him
THUS the beginning of the great
war came in 1914, when together the
sun and moon struck adversely on
the chord of the conjunction of
Jupiter and Uranus in the proceed
ing spring, symbolic OF the warning
forces.
ITO those who look below surfaces
the determination Of the end lies with
the United States and Japan, said to
be ruled respectively by Gemini and
by Libra, sym bols of the power of
thought, the guiding intelligence and
work Of the hands, and the Libran
ability 20 perceive both sides of a
question, throwing its weight on the
side OF the just cause"
After commenting on the facts that
last July there was "a major CON
junction of the forces of law, order
and endurances with the forces of
ura, ersaI love and sympathy work
ing through chaotic disorder, the as
trologer says:
Thus it would seem that the
world war must be ended by the sum
mer of 1918, though it would be folly
to expect Utopia until 1914"

HOW MANY GENERALS
HAS u. S. ARMY HAD?

Promotion of Major General Per-
shing to the rank OF General has
caused considerable discussion as to
the number of men who have held
that rank in the United States Army
It is contended by some military writ
tiers that only three men, Generals
Grant, Sherman and Sheridan, held
the rank prior to the elevation of
General Pershing, while others insist
that George Washington should be
added to the list.
Commenting on the subject the
Army and Navy Journal has the fol-
lowing to say:
THE U. S. Army was organized
September 20, 1888, but it was not
until nine years later, July 8, 1898,
that Washington was appointed lieu
tenant general and commander of the
Army, which rank he held until his
death, December ID, 1899 This was
the highest rank Washington ever
held in the U. S. Army. The rank
of General and Commander-in-chi
of all the forces raised or to be
raised otherwise the Continental
Army was held by him from 1875 to
1888, but this was in the Continental
Army. Heitman puts Washington as
among the Generals in his list of
general officers in the Army OF the
United States from June, 1878 to
1903 but it must be understood that
the Army of the United States in
cluded all troops raised in this coun-
try, whereas the United States Army
was not organized until 1899, six
years after Washington resigned his
rank OF General of the Continental
Army"
