The net profit has no relation to
the mine tar law; for instance, the
tax of 1919 against this company
was upon a valuation of 1890
334; the net loss for the same year
was $442,65l.2s, the taxes for 1918
was upon the valuation of $l44l6,954,
was $2.283,lz.1O. the taxes for the
year 1917 was upon valuations OF
sic, 85l ,533. for the same year the
net profits were $4.728. l3469; the
present production tax S in effect
a sales tar undertaking to fix gross
values in the ground and measured
by daily production. l agree that
the ad valorem or cash market value
of property should be the minimum
basis for assessment. ! further favor
as a remedy for equalizing values
and production against possible con-
fiscatory taxation limitation of the
rate of taxat on by constitutional
amendment. which limitation should
be far below the present tax rate.
During the war patriotism and a
willingness to sacrifice was one OF
the nations chief assets and source
Of strength. This company meas
ured up TO the American spirit in
time of need when b lions were re-
CURED TO finance the exptnse OF
sending our brave boys over seas.
They subscribed for Liberty Bonds
as follows:
First issue, 100000, allotted
Second issue, 100000 allotted
Third issue. 100000, allotted
Third issue EMPLOYEES, allotted
$4,000; subscribed $650.000
Fourth issue, allotted 100000
Fourth issue, employees allotted
$4,000.
Fifth issue, allotted $4,000.
So that total of $5,68l $50 OF
Liberty Bonds were actually pur-
chased by tn S company and its en-
ployes in aid of financing the nation
during the war.
Can it be possible that the fair
thinking people of this state who
love a fair, square deal will justify
and approve the demagogic politics
Of the democratic party and is
candidates, and especially Mr.. Rich
ard Hanna, in an attempt to ride
into office by undertaking to create
class prejudice BY mis-statements OF

corporations which have done SO

Ny Dear Sir:-The publicity CIV
en- my letter in your issue OF Octo-
Der. 3, 1920, was most gallant'--l
congratulate you.
In your editorial of October 9Th,
1920, you say: "Mr. Bursum is evil
IDENTIFY v sibly worried, he is Jared
out of his usual serene ~taciturnity
by the terror of certain defeat
which confronts him"
This conclusion is entirely er-
roneous, any person who is tit to
win possesses the courage to lace
defeat; the political fate of any in
dividual is OF no consequence as com
pared with the public welfare.
Ny real concern is the reckless at
tacks on legit mate industry which
has played an important part in the
preliminary development OF our ma
-tural and the tendency of
such u~nwarranted attacks to dis
couraged future operations in the
state and suggestive of a policy OF
hostility toward investment of cap
ital from without the state, n the
absence of which no substantial
measure Of development commensu-
rate with the needs of the state can
be hoped for.

You are always safe in CLASSIFY
ing Mr.. Bursum as being ready and
willing 10 defend what he believes
TO be the quare deal on the basis
of truth and to denounce false
statements purporting to be facts
whether the same involves a TWEEN
~ million dollar corporation or tn
humblest citizen of the land.
The most dangerous element 10
orderly government and a positive
obstacle to commun ty prosperity is
the person who attempts to array
class against class incite class hatr d
between its citizens and especially
the attempt to capitalize prejudice
and convert the same into a political
asset, this is intensely true when the
basis is formed upon false and mis-
leading prem ses.
In your editorial OF October 9TH
you say: "Mr. Sully admits that the
average net earnings of the Chino
Copper company for three years past
have been in excess of $l0,0OOOD a
year"
This is a wild statement.-far
from the truth. ! can not conceive
that a public spirited citizen like
yourself, engaged in the laudable
function of moulding pubic opinion
upon public questions, would know
ingly mis-tate the facts. For YOU
information permit me TO inform you
that during no year OF the operation
of the Chino Copper company since
it's existence has il shown a net
profit of 100000. During the year
1919 the production of copper
amounted to 40,488,76 pounds, con-
ia ming a gross value of 81 308 5o7.S9,
the expense of mining and market
ing the copper amounted to $751;
