ment was made by Thomas w. La
mont that Mr.. Dawson had been re-
moved TO the hospital and that the
operation would take place tomorrow

served at the hospital, where the pa
tient has two rooms reserved. None

pressed against the brain.
The following statement was Issued

MINORITY MAKES
ITS REPORT ON
STATE TAXATION
Two Members of Revenue
/ Commission Submit State
ment that Dissents in Few
Points with Majority
BY STAFF CORRESPONDENT.

ls
Santa Fe, Dec. 31.-Report of
the state revenue commission was
completed yesterday by the filing
of minority report signed by John
Joerns and w. c. Hayden, mem
bers of the commission. Both
signed the majority report but re-
served the right to submit a later
statement.
While this report does not diff
fer greatly from that presented by
the full commission, it does, how
eyer, urge that in the determina-
tion OF an ad valorem basis of tax
alton for mining property that the
present valuation should be the
determining factor, this value be-
ing ascertained by reference to par
ticular economic conditions which
may exist in one year though not
in another.
The minority report concurs in
the recommendation of the major
ity for the employment of experts
to fix the valuation of mineral
lands. The minority report also
favors the repeal of the contigu-
ous land clause of the present min
ing tax law. However, as the de-
termination of a new basis of val
uation will require considerable
time, a continuance of the present
system is favored until the experts
have completed their work.
The minority report does not
concur in that part of the majority
report that relates to the present
cost of gdEernment. 1t points out
that the Increased cost is due to
schools, roads and protection to
person and property.
:. The minority report sfavors q
full time tax commission but asks
the same standards of fitness for
its members as for county asses
sors.
k AS to state administration, the
minority report favors the elimi-
nation of the office of legal ad-
wiser to the governor, opposes the
short ballot, favors a four-year
term for state officers, urges con-
tinuance of the commissioner of
insurance but would pay no salary
to any officer who does not work,
defends the state corporation COM
mission.
Throughout the report of the
minority is objection to the major
ity's criticisms of state officers
who were not called before the
commission to present their sides
of the case. The minority concurs

"C0ST OR MARKET" MAY
BE USED AS BASIS FOR
VALUING INVENTORIES
fBy The Associated Press.

Washington, Dec. 81 Merchants
and manufacturers may adopt
cost or market, whichever is low
err" as a basis for valuing their in
ventories for 1920 income tax re-
turns under regulations also pro-
vide that the difference caused by
the fall of prices during the year
may be deducted in arriving at the
value of stock.
Secretary Houston and officials
of the internal revenue bureau were
without estimates tonight as to the
difference in revenue which may
result at market rather than
"cost." The belief was expressed in
some quarters the difference would
run into many millions of dollars.
Internal revenue officials explained
that the law permits of choice of
basis and under present condi-
tions market reflects more ac-
curately the state of business con-
ditions. To require inventories at
a cost higher than market" it
was added, would be to put tax
on investment rather than on in
come.
