Federal Taxation of Mines--.A Notable
Discussion of Vital Concern~to
Mining Industry

mining engineers, and geologists-fo,
the advice and help with which to put
the deal through. The government is
in frame of mind to trust you as re-
potable engineers, to trust not only
your technical talents, but to trust
also your motives and integrity; and
you are invited and indeed urged to
contribute, for the sake of the gem
efal welfare of the industry, such
help as you can. In what follows, |
Shall try to indicate, in outline, some
OF the principal problems involved,
though most of you no doubt have by
necessity become familiar with them
through your professional connec-
tons,
The federal taxes on incomes and
excess profits are heavy. In 1917 the
value of the mineral production of
the United States was little over S.
000,O00,000. The total of federal taxes
for that year on the mineral produc-
ing companies amounts to about
comprehensive group of mineral and
metal industries to about $4,000 000
which figures represent respectively,
9,5 per cent and 35.1 per cent of the
total paid by all corporations. For
1918 the taxes are still greater, but
no compilations are yet available.
Taxes at a high rate are to continue
indefinitely. The subject is clearly of
grave import to the mining industry.
In view of the peculiar conditions
that attach to the tax program as APP
piled to mines and other wasting in
dustries, like OIL gas and timber the
commissioner has resorted to profess
sional advice and assistance by man
ming a subdivision of natural re-
sources with competent engineers,
brought in from the several industries
into whose hands he has placed the
teohnial questions involved
The problems of mine taxation
must necessarily be approached from
a clear understanding of mining eco
nomics, of which the prominent and
distinctive features are the hazard
and the exhaustible character of the
assets Closely related to the latter
feature is the necessity of maintain
ing efficient mining organizations in
definitely instead of limiting their ex
stence to the life of the particular
mine now being worked.
The principal questions to be set
tied revolve about the matter of mine
valuation, but they are complicated
by the fact that most of the values
must be established as of a date sew
methods that might be employed, the
one direct, professional and estab-
lished method is that which capital

emit value of total expected earnings
For the general application of this
present. vafue method, there must be
a set of factors intended
to adjust it to those examples which
afford fewer data than the amount it
requires ideally. Investigations must
be conducted in more or less detail
and thoroughness into a variety of
subjects which enter into the appliea-
ton of the method such as relation
of interest rates to hazard, ratio of

Al UHe TcSeHt Injecting Oh the Am
erican Institute of Mining ard Met
ai.urgical Engineers in Chicago, per.
haps the most important paper pre-.
scented was that by l.. c. Grafton on
the federal law taxing the net profits
of mines The Miner will publish the
paper In full, the first installment OF
which follows:
The fundamental object of taxation
is not to impose burden or pen
atty on the taxpayer; rather the op-
posite; to secure the funds by means
of which the government may be en-
abled to extend to the taxpayer those
benefits which he could not so well, if
at all, secure for himself Conse-
quently, any program of taxation
should be administered with the ut
most sympathy and consideration, and
with the least possible disturbance of
the taxpayers normal activities.
Until recently the internal revenue
bureau has been a relatively subor~
dinate branch of the government, and
has had little attention from the av-
erage citizen. Since the passage of
the income tax amendment in 1913,
however, and particularly since the
rise Of needs for enormous war funds,
the revenue bureau has become "an
arm of the government reaching out
to every citizen and establishing a
direct fiscal relationship with every
business enterprise in the United
States"
As all are aware, the revenue laws
insofar as they specifically touch IN
the matters which relate to the min
ing industry, are nearly always brief
and frequently not clear. These, like
all other portions of the revenue laws,
are made subject, for their interpra
tation and application to regulations
established by the commissioner Of
internal revenue. 1t is most illumin-
ating to observe how, as the import
arce and responsibility of the COM
missioner's duties in this respect have
expanded with the increasing magni-
t,lde of the taxes, the regulations with
regard to the mining provisions of
the law have with successive years
reflected a greater and greater ap-
proach toward that fairness and
equity which alone can be satisfact-
ory and can lead to decisions that
will hold. l beg of you to believe
that every earnest effort Is being
r AIDE to eradicate and abandon all
those things which have caused con-.
fusion, evaporation, or alarm to the
fn nest and well-intentioned taxpayer.
This message from the inside is a
f remost object of my paper. 1t is
moreover, a necessary preliminary to
the successful attainment of the sec
ond object, which is the securing of
your cooperation and your help in
solving a job that is as much yours as
the governments and that is no more
t.. it's advantage than to yours to have
solved correctly. For notwithstand-
ing every reasonable effort the gov
eminent may make, the job that con-
fronts us is so big and difficult, has
s, many ramifications, that believe
the government can not master 1t
single handed, but must look to the

 Again, the shout went up. Answer like man. Think Good Lord! Say we withdraw the suits!'
 "We withdraw the claims against Mexico" Barton sat down to sud den hush. The first blood had been let.
 Once more Babeock's glasses swept the house. He rapped the table.
 "That's not all. We've got more to say to you. Gentlemen, Mir. Marshall" ;"
 Marshall stepped forward to a si- ience which was variety of tribute.
 He bowed. 'I will be brief. Mir. Faraday has asked me to take his place here this afternoon. It's only

fair. If it were not for my interfer- ence, he would not be involved in this situation. I think you will grant that it is MT. Faraday's company which can save the valley?"
 'rTo save it's own tracks l'' yelled a voice from the balcony.
 Marshall sent soft smile heaven ward. Incidentally. And it's traffic Why don't you say it? We don't deny that. The Overland Pacific's no altru- ist."
 There was jeer which rose into a chorus. "Altruist! Octopus. That's what 1t is."
 Marshalls hand went up. 'If you want to hear mel" He waved away Babcock's descending gavel. "I was told 1t would cost two hundred thou sand dollars to close that break of yours. Do you want the actual fig ures? It has eaten already million, and the work is not yet done. You know the history of the undertaking The Desert Reclamation company was in straits. Faraday promised his help on the condition that the affairs of the Desert Reclamation company would be controlled by his company. He took the control. He inherited what? Not good will. Threats, dam age suits. Do you think that snow slide of complaints is going to encour- age him to go on? This is what came here to talk to you about. You ranch CTS don't want to cut your own throats Now, there's a good deal going on about which you are in the dark. Faraday's got right to feel he's shouldered an old man of the sea. He's been trying to dislodge it. He's appealed to the president Ever since we came into this, the cry from Wash ington has been, Do this the way we like, or we'll not take it off your hands," A murmur of angry voices started somewhere, swelling toward the balcony.
 "We don't want the government" began the rising voices. Marshall's voice rang out:
 "But the government wants-you Unless you will help save your own homes, the government will have to, in time. It's got to. Up there at Laguna, have you seen 1t? There's nothing go- ing on. They're watching us. That's a | useless toy if our works are washed out. Faraday says this to you" Not sound in the stilled house. Unless you withdraw your damage suits. he won't advance another damned cent' Sharply he sat down before the au- dience realized that his message was finished. The house had not found its voice, when Babcock's gayel was pounding again for attention. The question, he felt, had not been put to them completely. Perhaps, they did not gather the full import of MT. Mar shall's message Mir. MaeLean would follow MT. Marshall.
 MacLean's superb figure rose from a tree-paneled background.
 "He should sing Brown October Ale" suggested Brandon to Hardin humorously.
 Hardin's eyes were on MacLean. What did he know about it? What could he tell those men that they did not know? MacLean was figurehead ill the reorganized irrigation company. Why hadn't they called on him, Har-

Richards Indians were kept stolidly piling brush and stuffed sacks on the 1evee. This, the word ran, would be the fierce night no one expected to sleep.
 They were preparing for the big battle, the final struggle, when the grade recession passed the town. Spectacular as was its coming, there was an anticlimax in it's retreat. The water reached the platform of the depot and halted. The town held it's breath. There was some sleep that night.
 The next day, the nerves of the val ley relaxed. The river was not cut ting back. The men at the levee dropped their shovels, and went back to the discussion of their lawsuits. Their crops were ruined; too much water, or too little. Whatever way they had been hurt, the company would have to pay for itl
 A small shift guarded the river. Rlekard, in his room at the Desert hotel, and Hardin up the river, slept a day and night without waking.

CCuriing Disaster.

Can it be called an accident
when young fellow is driving
an auto on country road at a
forty or fifty mile speed, and the
driver loses control of the mach
inc, which leaps into the air and
turning over kills three of the
occupants and mains all the
others-father, mother, and
cousin being victims in the trag-
edy. This is what happend last
week to a farmers family near
Aberdeen Oh, the horror of it;
but it won't deter others who
have more gasoline than sense to
run the same chance on the first
provocation. If the fools were only
taking a chance on themselves in
this kind of work we couldn't
worry, but it's the innocent who
suffer and while withal some.
times the guilty ones themselves
escape. 1t can hardly be called an
accident when a motorist makes
a racing track of a country road.
He is inviting disaster and may
congratulate himself if he es-
capes it.

years, for it made ten year ad-
vance during that time. Some of
the things planned for this year
are: maintenance of the indus

in the Hawaiian Islands; work
ia Utah, where the association is
unrepresented; work among NOV.
ie girls and actresses; construc-
tion Of All adequate administra-
ton building in Washington; es-

girls, in Arizona; and a more
thorough organ zation of the
North Central Field with the four
additional secretaries. Through
out the country IS coming the call
for local rganizations and in time
they will be granted but until that
