The British view, as given by Sir

The conference will support the
Pope's claim of the freedom Of re-
ligious education in Russia. Mgr.
Pizzardo, deputy secretary of state
for the Vatican, was assured before
departing for Rome yesterday. This
leaves aside the question Of restitu-
tion Of church property. as any ac-
ton on this subject by the confer

as foreign interference in Russia

There are two kinds of church prop
critics in Russia-irst, the actual
church buildings which are indts-
pensable for worship, and second,
such property as the houses for the
parish priests, rectories. seminaries
and the like The former properties
should be returned to the church,
even under a communist regime, Mgr.
Pizzardo believes, while the church
might be granted the use of the lat

plus. and SO it was best to say moth
ing about 1t. but to leave 1t to future
adjustment.
1t was recognized that under the
said law of 1900 the District was not
tax levies until the month of May OF
the fiscal year in which expenses had
been incurred. The proper methods
for determining the amount of the
existing surplus, If any. and the
change IN dates of tax collection to
enable the District to collect at least
so per cent of the tax levy not later
than the month of November were
fully discussed. although it was not
deemed proper by the conferees to
make provision for the proposed
changes in the appropriation bill.
Step. Already Taken.
Steps to bring about the necessary
legislation to cover the proposed
changes have already been taken by
the introduction of a concurrent reso-
luton by Senator Jones, providing
for the appointment of a commission
to determine the amount due the
District of Columbia by the United
States. which resolution has already
received the approval OF the Senate.
and by a separate bill talso intro
duced by Senator Jones) to amend
the act of June 8. 1899, so as to max e
50 per cent of the tax levy payable
November l and the remainder on
May /, with allowance Of a discount
for anticipation OF payment.
Assuming that as of July l there
will be a balance of about S5,00O,eO
due to the District in the United
States Treasury. and that the dates of
tax payments will be changed as pro-
posed. II will be unnecessary for the
Commissioners to collect a larger
amount of revenue than has been
raised during the past two years,
aside from that caused by natural
growth of the city. in order to enable
the District to meet its 80 per cent of
expenditures currently before the ex-
piration OF the f1ve-year period pro-
vided in the amendment.
Your attention is called TO the fact
that the 1.95 tax levy for the year
1921 produced a surplus over ex-
penditures Of about s550,00e.
Even II the District has no bal
auce standing to Its credit on July 1
next. ii Is estimated that the Com
missioners would not need to raise
more than s1.250.000 per year. over
and above current expenditures. dur

get upon the desired cash paying
basis, provided the change in dates of
tax collections Is put into effect.

self-evident that where given
amount of money is to be raised the
rate of taxation on full value will be
correspondingly reduced as against
the rate which would prevail under
the present two-thirds valuation plan,
but 1t is confidently believed that the
full valuation plan OF assessment will
be more equitable as between the
owners OF small dwelling houses and
the heavier investors in real estate
than has prevailed under the present
plan. Small houses are assessed now
more nearly their full value than are
palatial houses. This will be correct
ed to the benefit of the small house
owner.
Your attention is called to the fact
that at one time the rate charged
on intangibles in the District was

1T Is unfortunate that the purposes

that committee gave the amendment
q most careful Consideration and ap-
proved OF it's intent and its form with
a slight modification. The committee
also considered the advisabiiity OF ar
ranging for hearings on the amend
ment, but reached the conclusion that
no additional Information would be
secured by arranging for hearings.
The features Of the amendment had
been fully explained in the House and
to the Senate committee and 1t felt
that the proposed new legislation
would be fair and reasonable. that 1t
does not involve the raising of large
additional sums of money as had been
enormously claimed. ana that II will
insure a stable basis for division OF

MINING AND PROSPERITY

Mining news from many western
states is the most encouraging that
has been reported since the readjust-
ment period started.
Lead has reached 6.35 cents per
pound; zinc is up to about cents;
silver is pegged at 81 an ounce by the
Pittman act; gold mining is increas-
ing as cost of production declines,
and copper is holding it's own at
around IA cents a pound with larger
amounts being used as it slowly re-
places substitutes which displaced it
during the war time period.
The future for the lead market
looks exceedingly good for an indefi-
mite period.
Reductions in railroad rates are
enabling mines to again ship ore
profitably to smelters, with the result
that increasing activity in mines and
shelters is taking place When the
metal industry is producing on a
profitable basis it assures prosperity
in many western states.
