LEGISLATION is SUGGESTED
TO REMEDY WEAKNESS IN
CONTIGUOUS LAND CLAUSE

how the proposed graduated tax
law violates the provision that
taxes levied upon property shall
be in proportion to the value there
of and uniform upon subjects of
taxation of the same class
Holds IL Unconstitutional.
Mr., Hawkins declared that this
made unconstitutional any gradu-
ated income tax He quoted from
decisions Of state courts and the
United States supreme court to
show that income Is property and
II at therefore the tax upon it must
be uniform.
When asked If the constitution
would prohibit flat income tax,
he said that it would not provided
the income tax did not become n
double taxation.
Charles Springer, who has con-
sistently advocated a graduated in
come tax, differed with the view OF
Mr.. Hawkins, in his Interpretation
of the supreme court decision. A
graduated income tax could be
passed, he believes, as 1t is a tax
on person and not on property.
Public Service Man Speaks.
Edgar l.. Street representing the
Santa Fe Water and Light com
pany, told of the difficulties his
company has experienced from al
legged over assessment, He de-
clared that this year the company
will pay taxes amounting to 81 per
cent of it's income. He urged that
the power of assessment be taken
from local assessors in public util-
tiles and made a function of the
tax commission in view of the mass
of facts 1t is assembling in con-
nection with public service utilities.
This would tend to make asses
ment fairer, he believes.
At the morning session. Mr.. Gull
berson, representing the stock rails
ing interests OF the state, declared
he knew of counties where 90 per
cent of the cattle were on the tax
able lists and that the stockmen
were bearing an unjust proportion
of taxes.
With the hearing today the reve-
nue. commission has finished public
sessions and it is expected that the
first part of its work will be fin
ished this week.

Manager of Coal interests
Would Allow Mines Enough
Contiguous Lands For rs
to so Years Operation.
(By Clinton 2. Anderson }

Santa Fe, Aug. 19.--Definite sug
gestion for legislation to remedy
the alleged flaws in coal mininl
laws were given today by J. A. Var
Houten, general manager Of the
st. Louis, Rocky Mountain & Pa
cific company. before the hearing
of the revenue commission.
Todays session was called fol-
discussion of questions Of taxation
of stockmen and the income tas
law but Mr.. Van Houten took al
opportunity to go out of the bust.
ness of the day to offer his sug-
gestions on the question Of taxa
tion of mining properties In the
state.
Mr.. Van Houten prefaced his re
marks by calling attention to the
difficulties in the early history OF
the state In reaching a basis of as
sessment for mining lands. the de-
termination OF what was and what
was not coal lands being left to the
judgment of local assessors. This
was the principal reason for the
enactment of the tonnage tax law,
he declared.
Contiguous Clause Objection.
THE principal objection" he
said, lis the question of contiguous
lands not being taxed. There is
also the difficulty of arriving at net
earnings. My suggestion as to con-
tiguous lands is that there be al
located to each producing mine a
certain amount of coal lands, the
amount to be dependent on the ap-
proximate mine plant production
taken over period of three years
and basing the amount Of land SO
alIocated SO that there. will be an
area sufficient to last from twenty
five to fifty years.
Then the land so allocated to
each mine should be taxed by TAX
ing such proportion Of the gross
production and using that proper
ton for assessment of the land
The proportion of gross production
should be determined by the taS
commission according to what it
would consider a fair and equit-
able basis.
No Lands Would Escape.
'1n event of law of that kind
being passed all mineral lands
would be taxed. Whenever a mar
ket was found or created there
would be someone ready to develop
the lands.
This sort Of legislation would not
preclude payment of taxes on the
mine plant and improvements and
on the surface of lands adapted for
other purposes"
Mr.. Van Houten also expressed
his thorough belief in the gradual
ed income tax, expressing it as his
opinion that those with incomes
and opportunities should pay a
larger share in the costs of. gov
ernment.
w. A. Hawkins, of FL Paso, was
then called to express an opinion
on the income tax.

DEETS DEFINED FOR
INCOME TAX FILTERS

It is pointed out by the bureau Of
internal revenue that just because
the personal income tax form provides
spaces in which to claim an allowance
against income for uncollectable debts
does not mean that the taxpayer may
search his memory for flock &c
personal loans and put them down
on his return. Attention is called to
the fact that Block "A" for bad
debts" is for use only by business
and professional men who are entitled
to adjust their income. And such ad-
justments can be made only in cases
where certain amounts have been in
Guided in the gross incomes, and have
since, during the taxable year, been
found to be uncollectabIe.
In other words, only those who re-
port their gross income on the actual
