asnass Operators to Exhibit,
! y Income Tax Returns

NEW YORK, November 27.-Bitumi-
nous coal operators were accused of
obscuring the issue and again chal-
lenged to produce their income tax re-
turns by William g. McAdoo, former
Secretary of the Treasury. in aformal
answer to their telegram criticising his
earlier statement that they made shock
ing and indefensible profits in 1917" and
should not be allowed to increase prices
of coal.
MIR. McAdoo's Reply.
THE statement in your telegram
said his reply, addressed to the opera
tors committee at Washington and
made public here. that the average
margin per ton of all coal mined in
1918 was 4G cents has no bearing upon
this issue. These averages are fire.
quently used as convenient smoke
screens to obscure the facts. The ques-
ton is what were the profits on the
capital employed by the mine owners
regardless of the average profit that
may have been earned on each ton of
COAL"
Whatever the margin per ton was"
Mr.. McAdoo added, 'ff 1t resulted in
excessive profits on the capital employed
then clearly the public should not be
made to pay higher prices for coal and
the mine owners should absorb the wage
increase TO the men. There need be no
controversy about the matter because
Inc income tax returns speak for them
selves.
Critieixe< Operators Offer.
You state that the bituminous coal
operators will welcome the publication
OF Just as full current tax returns for
the .bituminous coal industry as are
published for any other industry The
publication of returns for any other in
dustry has nothing to do with this case
Coal is vital to the life of the Ameri-
can people and basic to every industry
In this country.
Before the coal operators are per-
mltted TO increase the price of coal
which would mean taking toll from
every factory, every industry, every
tnsiness and from every domestic fire.
SIDE in America, it should be clearly
demonstrated that the increase is
justified. Under the law the Secretary
OF the Treasury may publish these re-
turns, with the Presidents permis-
sfon. and / hope, for the sake of the
american public, that such publication
VIII De made. l am convinced that
the increased wages proposed by Sec
retary Wilson for the mine workers
are Just and reasonable, because they
edualize the miners wages with the
present Increased cost of living. as
SHOWN Ry Secretary Wilson'S figures.
"Offensive Tones Ignored.

telegram. because neither personal-
tiles nor questioning of motive should

Serious Charge.

Deputy Sheriff Powers, of Flag
staff, was in the city Monday
and placed under arrest Ed.
Green and his two brothers-in-
law, the Weems boys, under a
charge that they had butchered
a steer belonging to the Hart
Cattle Co. The hide was found
before the officers reached Wins
low, and the alleged carcass of
the animal was found in the
house occupied by the Weems
boys, with whom Ed. Green is
living. The men were taken to
Flagstaff that evening for their
preliminary hearing.

Detectives Coming.

We have been informed that a
couple of detectives have been
employed to trap the editor and
get something on him to make
him be good. If these detectives
are of the Dead Eye Dick brand
we will get along fine, as it will
be a relief to the soul to uncover
the past we have hidden success
fully all these years. Bnt if the
detectives happen to be the WIN
some Pearl and Sadie, we know
we are going to fall, as we can
feel we are slipping already. 1t
will be impossible to withstand
temptation, as we admit our
frallties, and our moral fiber per-
haps has lost it's elasticity. We
know we will buy a bottle of
beer just as soon as we get in
the room with the ladies, and
we will slip a dollar to the pro
fessor" to play a tune on the
old wheezy piano, but when the
officer breaks in the door he will
not find the editor under the bed;
he will not stop on the order of
his going, but he will be going
through the window with what
clothes he happens to have on.
We would have to retire from the
newspaper business as a moral
force in the community, but we
will make a strong and popular
candidate for county attorney.

ification.

lines. Can't say that | had an
extra good time, as l was on

it is hard to have a good time

situation, though, and threw
snowballs at the German girls.

The executive committee of the
Red Cross held a meeting last
Monday evening to consider an
organization to make a canvass
for funds for the Armenian suf-
ferers, but while the committee
fully endorsed the move it was
deemed inexpedient to take the
matter up through the Red Cross.
The committee trusts, however,
that our citizens will respond lib
orally to the call for aid, and
make their donations direct to
either bank or at Red Cross head
