u. S. HOLDS LEASE
VALUES TOO LOW
Treasury Asks Texas Pacific
to Add S87,00O.OOO to Oil
Holdings Valuation.
ARE HELD AT S5,00O,000
COmpany's Figure Said to Be
to It's Disadvantage in
Paying Taxes.
ARE HELD AT $4,000, 900

The Texas Pacific Coal Company. has
been requested by the United States
Treasury Department to increase the
valuation of leases which II holds APP
proximately $S7.O00.000. Officials of the
company have for some time been In
touch with Government representatives
with respect to that proposal. which. II
is understood. has grown out or tax
returns made by the company to the
department.
The Government, according to infor-
nation obtained yesterday, while IN
vestigating the companys return round
that the leases were held at an arbi-
trary valuation Of approximately $780,
900 by the company, and experts in the
technical division of the department de-
clared that that amount was too low
by many millions of dollars. II was
pointed out that that arbitrary figure
fixed by the company did not work TO
the company's advantage In the pay
ment of taxes, but, on the contrary,
that q readjustment along the lines
suggested by the Government would
probably result in a return to the COM
pany of hundreds of thousands or
dollars paid in taxes since 1916.
Officials Of the company declined yes
terday to comment on the situation. They
declared that the matter was too In
definite to permit them to talk at THIS
time. From other sources. however, II
i. IS learned that the company and the
Government hoped to have the matter
cleared up very soon after the first or
10 wear. IL not earlier. The figure of
slightly less than $s0.000.000 was fixed
by Government experts and was APP
proved by the technical division. There
remains to be obtained the appraisal OF
the auditing division before the figure
at which the leases are to go into the
property account Is definitely estab-
lished.
In the company's balance sheet as OF
December 81. 1919. the last avaiiapie
statement, lands and leaseholds were
carried at $6,129.919.06. or that amount
it Is understood that approximately
S5,0O0,000 represented the company's ar
bitrary valuation Of it's leases. The total
assets and liabilities shown in the same
statement were $36.479.704. or less thai"
half the additional valuation that tho
Government wishes placed on the leases.
With the Governments valuation In
serted in the balance sheet a revision OF
the entire statement may be necessary In
order that proper readjustments OF re-
serves for depletion and depreciation and
of capital may be made.
The directors OF the company VIII de-
clare another stock dividend Of per
cent. at their next meeting In addition
to its regular cash dividend Of 2h per
cent. Those are the same dividends as
were paid three months ago. The COM
pany has been negotiating for some time
with the Transcontinental Oil Company
for the use of the latter's pipe line and
refineries In the Fort Worth district No
decision on those negotiations has been
reached.

SAYS SOME SHOPS

Major Richard Sylvester. Of the du-

the international Association Of Chiefs
Of Police, and widely known for his
activities in unearthing criminal plots,
stated today that II was of importance
for every loyal American worker and
every loyal American employer TO be
vigilant to keep a sharp lookout for
activities Of revolutionary radicals In
the shops and mills Of the country.
Major Sylvester has been active for
many years in tracing dangerous agi-
tatOrs, and he stated today that Anleri-
cans are often ignorant Of the real ex-
tent OF the propaganda and organization
Of these people in our Industrial life.
His Investigations have shown him, he
said. that the Communists and ot1er
revolutionary radicals have gone so far
as 10 adopt a vermilliOn red button as
their insignia, which they use among
themselves, and they also print and
have ready for distribution innamma-
tory literature.
Much OF this literature in the shape
Of newspapers and pamphlets, is Of the
most dangerous character, and Is such
as TO excite the minds of the ignorant"
said Major Sylvester. Sometimes these
dangerous agitators conceal IL in desks
and boxes in shops and distribute it
when they have the opportunity. The
best way for loyal Americans. whether
they are workmen or employers. when
they find this literature, is TO quietly
notify the nearest government officer
