October, IA, 1920.
Mr., Carl Magee,
Editor Morning Journal
Albuquerque. New Mexico.
Dear Sir: | note your challenge
of October -, 1920. on October
7, you stated editoriaIly as follows:
Mr. Sully admits that Net
Earnings of the Chino Copper
company for three Years past
have been in excess of ten mill
lion dollars n year.
Three years past means 1919
1918 and 1917. 1t is evident from
the above quoted editorial that the
words Net Earnings. cas-, used by
YOU Of the chino Copper company
mean Net Profits. and that You so
intended to convey that meaning
to the public.
I 50 Construe your meaning for
the reason mat you said in your
editorial of the Morning Journal on
sunday. October 3. 1920, as follows:
But look here, the Chino
Copper company makes Net
profits annually OF some ten
million dollars or more, and
pays about three, hundred
thousand dollars in taxes,
which is about per cent on
net income"
For these mentioned years the
net profits and losses and the as
Sesscd valuation for taxation pur-
poses We're substantially rs follows:

The law of 1915, being the mine
tax law and rulings Of the tax com
mission, does not provide for COM
putation Of tax upon the basis OF
net earnings, but provides that the
net Value Of the output shall be
fixed in dollars and cents. That no
deductions shall be allowed on ac-
count of machinery, buildings,
lands, improvements, overhead
charges, interest, insurance, taxes,
legal expense, Development pros
pccting, depletion, capital eXpendi-
lures. new units or general office
expense. Therefore, it would be
physical impossibilily for any rec
ord taken as basis for assessment
purposes. to show the amount of
net earnings.
Net values. under the tax law,
have no relaGDT t. net earnings.

The short session of the stock mar
ket today had little in it TO attract

changes were variable within re-
stricted range. Crucible was run up
some ten points following publication
OF a plan for new financing.
Lackawanna and Bethlehem Steel
made good response. United States
Steel, while firm within fractional
limits, was obviously held back in
anticipation of an adverse report of
earnings for the last quarter of 1919,
to be issued Tuesday of next week.
There were numerous strong spots
throughout the industrial list but
the market as a whole was too list
less to be regarded as significant of.

After momentary setback, new
impetus was impaired to the demand

While we were sending boys to

poration made $13.50O,000," Capper
declared I'VE have four million
homeless people in the United States
as result OF melon cutting in lum-
Der. There has been and is shameless
profiteering in that industry, yet week
ly advances OF 81 TO IS thousand
are not uncommon In shameless and
reckless greed the lumber barons now
lead the procession.
All the quotations have referred
to conspire to prove that 1t is pront-
eering in manufactures in the great
Industrial corporations, that has sand
bagged the public. rather than profit
eering by merchants who deal direct
ly with the consumer
These gigantic corporations have
been drunk with profits extorted from
a too compliant public. The outstand-
ing fact is that there Is nowhere the
slightest indication Of any change in
the strategy of the great trusts, com
bines and industrial corporations IN
fattening their profits. A thief has
only to steal half as much property
these days to commit grand larceny
but it seems a profteer corporation
may take all it can get from the peo-
pie and then make them pay It's war
taxes besides.
I'VE deport the reds and ! heartily
approve the governments EFFORTS IN
that direction; but our chief trouble
makers. the price gougers, we sun leI
run Wild" Capper said. IL we were
to put half as many profiteers IN IAN
1t seems to me we should be IN Iar
less danger of contracting the RED ilu
of bolshevism. Our greatest present
menace is s.narchistic greed here al
home. For three years we have per
mitted it to do its worst to the de.
voted people who are the backbone OF
this nation. In that time we nave
made $4,000 brand new millionaires.
II earnestly urge as a remedy 70
meet this emergency an active prose-
cution of profiteers followed by their
Imprisonment and law requiring
every manufacturer to attach to every
article he produces the exact price ne
receives for 1t. The people can help
themselves, too. if they will organize
to boycott the profit hogs by refusing
ia buy goods offered at extorhonate
prices"
