New Fight Between Democrat

House.
OVER REVENUE LAWS
Both Sides Agree There Should be
Revision But Wide Apart as
to When to do
Il.

limited Press Leased Wire Service.
WASHINGTON, Dec. A new
contest between the democratic adj
ministration and the republican con.
gress over revision Of revenue laws
was apparently approaching today
Both administration and congress
sional leaders agree there must be
revision to meet record peace time
expenditures, but agreement ends
there.
Secretary of the Treasury Glass,
backed by President Wilson, wants a
revision started at once.
Republican leaders say 1t will not
be done at this session of congress
Glass wants excess profits taxes
abolished and an increase in the nor
NAL income tax rate and the surtax
rate on intermediate incomes. Re.
publican leaders say they are doubt
full about raising sufficient revenue
If this is done. The revenue bill for
1920 was enacted at the last session
of the sixty-fifth congress. Glass
contends that the present session
should frame a bill for 1921. so that
business will know in advance what
taxes it will have to pay.
There is tradition that the party
which frames revenue measure just
before election fares badly at the
hands of the voters, but congress.
sional leaders deny they have this
possibility in mind in delaying.
Glass, in his annual report to con.
sress, declared the excess profits
tax encourages wasteful expendi.

zation and a penalty on brains, and
discourages new ventures and con-
firms old ventures in their monopo--

the blame for hign prices.
II do not think the ways and
means committee is likely to follow
this suggestion" was Representative
Green's answer to Glass. Green, next
to Chairman Fordney, is ranking
member OF the committee.
"There are many Objectionable fea-
lures connected with the excess prof
it's tax, but the reduction in rates
will mitigate its application Green
continued. .It has one merit that
ia often overlooked, namely, that
only those who are making hlgh
profit pay it
To make up for loss through abolt-
tion of the profits tax, Glass sug-
eested a raise in the normal income
tax rate and raise in the surtax
rate on medium sized incomes. To
this, Green says:
"It would be extremely difficult to
obtain the amount produced by the
excess profits tax from incomes. 1t

aires are already transferring their
holdings to tax exempt securities.

REPORTS MADE
BY MINE MEN
Actual Earnings Of Operators Reached
Four Thousand Percent on
Capital Stock, Report
Shows.

WASHINGTON, Dec. Actual
earnings of coal operators, reaching
as high as 4,349.23 percent on the
capital stock, are shown in the gov
ernment report on corporate earnings
and government revenues for 1917.
It was on this report that former
Secretary Of the Treasury McAdoo
says his information relative to ex.
cess profits charged against coal
operators was taken.
The report contains the income
tax statements of corporations max
ing more than Is percent on their
capital stock 1t was prepared by the
secretary of the treasury IN response
to senate resolution.
Names of the companies are not
given. They are designated by code
numbers as they are known in the
department records. The large earn.
ings appear to be made by the small
mines or by operators with small in
yestments. The operators contend
that earnings should be calculated on
the capital invested rather than the
capital stock.
The report shows, in the Appala-
chan region, that earnings based on
ca pital invested range from 1892 to
!328.92 percent This percentage is
computed on earnings after the in
come and excess profits taxes ni'e
deducted.
AS a basis of comparison, one OF
the largest mines in the Appalachian
region with invested capital of $2,-
600 900 made profit in 1917 of 1890
percent, A mine showing 328.92 per-
. invested
ported but 1882 as the amount IN
vested.
Another large mine in the Appala-
chian region with S4,1S3,309 involved.
showed a profit of $2626 on the in
vestment.
In the mid.continent district the
earnings were less ana more evenly
divided among the operators.
The highest was 160 percent on an
investment of $4,000, while the lowest
in the report was 12.47 percent, on
1864 .266 invested. There was one ex-
ception in the mid-continent field to
the general rule OF small profits for
large investors One operator with
an investment of $1400oO showed a
profit of 1889 percent.
The western district returned the
lowest profits. One mine. with an
investment of $7,892,161, returned
but 5.S5 In profits. The largest profit
In this zone was 34.43 on capital of
500 900. No report was made on the
money invested.
The operator showing the maxi
mum profit on capital, that is, 4,349.23
per cent, was located in the Appala-
chan region. The capital Of this
corporation was $4,000. They claim
ed investments Of $1.274,364, which
would lower the earnings on invested
capital to what might be considered
normal rate compared with the
other operators.

Ell PASO, Texas. Dec. 4.-There
are explosive elements in the Mexi-
can situation today bringing ultimate
! intervention perceptibly closer and en-
dangering the lives of thousands of
! Americans in Mexico. The factors
pressing onward to real crisis be-
tween the nations are:
1.-The Fall committees investiga-
| tion of Mexico's relations with this
country At hearings scheduled in
FL Paso, Los Angeles, and other
cities, in addition to evidence the COM
mittee will make public, Seantor Fall
| is expected to make good his threat to
"astound the world" Interventionists
count heavily on the committees pub
licity to strengthen their position with
! the public.
2.-Enormous shipments OF arms
and ammunition are reported being
/! planned In Spain for the Carranza
| government. Attempts to purchase
these supplies in Belgium were blocked
by the state department in Washing
ton through pressure brought on the
Belgian government, 1t is charged.
Carranza is expected to be more sue
cessful in Spain. Another sequel like
the Vera Cruz occupation of 1914 sim
ilarly caused may follow.
3.-The Jenkins case. This issue Is
not favored by American border Off
cials for show down but contributes
to show Carranza's lack of good faith
they say.
4.-More Americans are in Mexico
than at any time since the exodus
which followed President Taft's first
warning to Americans to leave that
Irevolution-ridden country. Americans
have flocked into the Tampico oil
regions. The boom in the silver mar
ket has resulted in hundreds of Amer
leans returning to Mexican camps and
smelter plants In Parral, the Ameri-
cans sleep tightly behind a stockade,
heavily armed and with sentries on
guard to prevent surprise assault.
The last straw may be another muir
der of an American. Falls charges of
the spread of bolshevist propaganda
in the United States with the con-
nivance of Mexicans and with the
knowledge of Carranza, are said to
be equalled by alleged evidence of
Mexican l. w. w. plots, proGerman
activity, suspicion directed at Japna
and Mexico in the Magdalena bay
case, with which the los Angeles
hearing will deal, and testimony of
Carranza's rabiG anti-Americanism.
Following introduction of Senator
Falls resolution in congress to sever
diplomatic relations with Mexico the
border today figuratively rang with
rumors That the marines would go
in and get Jenkins" and that the war
departments plans for invading Mex
leo were expected to reach headQuar-
ters here today SO preparations could
be made were products of the rumor
factory.
The only visible unusual activity in
the border army was arrival Of a num-
ber of army automobile mechanics
who started work of cleaning out car
bon in the motors of camouflaged
| tanks here.

rama, Is said to be in Spain purchas-
ing arms and ammunition. His activi-
ties are being closely watched by

To Sever Relations.
! IBy L. G. Martin, United Press stan
Correspondent
WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.-The SEN
ate foreign relations committee to-
day Is to take up Senator Falls reso-
luton for withdrawal OF American
recognition of the Carranza govern.
ment and severance Of diplomatic
relations. The prevailing Impression
is that the committee will report
favorably on the resolution, probably
after considerable discussion.
Administration senators are oppos-
ing it on the ground that its passage
at this time would prove embarrass-
ing to the state department which IS
trying by diplomatic means to adjust
difficulties with Mexico. Adoption OF
the resolutions these senators de-
clared would precipitare crisis by
infaming <the Mexican government
against the United States. The dam
ger, they pointed out, lies in the fact
that if the resolution passes and
President Wilson should follow its
recommendations by breaking off le-
.lations with CarranZa and withdraw
ing all American diplomatic agents
from Mexico Jenkins, the subject
of the controversy would probably
not be released by authorities at
Puebla and it would then become IN
cumbent upon this government to try
to go in and get him by force.
This, administration senators held,
would mean nothing less than wal.
With President Wilson's repres-
sive influence temporarily removed,
it is not unlikely, some senators said,
that congress would take some defi-
mite action on Mexico by passing the
Fall resolution or something similar.
Fall today planned to lay before
the committee what he called "un-
disputable proof that Mexican Am
