Cornelius l. Kelly, president OF the Anaconda
Copper Company is out with statement in reply
to numerous critics Of the Pittman silver purchase
act and quote follows.
During the past few months criticism has been
directed toward what has been termed and 10 doubt

protestatons that are being made against what is
designated the imposition OF an unnecessary
burden on depleted treasury. In instance

such criticism disclosed accurate information ii

which the statute enacted and the crcunl-
stances that led to it, although il constituted a

TAXATION AND HAZARDS

All taxation systems, when applied to the oil or
mining industries, should consider the hazard in
involved in investments III those industries and not
alone tie reward being earned at the time OF the tax
,evy.
That reward must compensate with the risk IN
1ertakcn If the consideration suggested is not
shown. then still more difficult will it be to finance
such hazardous enterprises with consequent loss
o the world of much new wealth.

CANADA

Friendly relations between Canada and the
United States matter OF course. In the late
elections no party in the Dominion had the least
hostility toward us No party or group OF men
on this side OF the border had any interest in the
success defeat OF any Canadian party in spite OF
the TACT that trade with Canada is Of npor-
lance and that the amount OF it might be affected
BY any change i'll Canadian tariff rates
The tariff supposed to be the chief issue in
tho elections but whether the party leaders were
tnlid, or whether they did not know what the peo-
pie desired, there was both an astonishing vague
ness and suspicious similarity in what they de
clarcd 20 be their purposes. All OF them limited
that duties were to be lowered but all OF them also
assured the voters that there would be no reduc-
ton that would expose Canadian products to the
runous effect OF free trade.
Oh coure the tariff that Mr. Mackenzie King
will propose will be different from that which
Conservative government would offer. but Amer-
cans need not fear that high tariff would cut
thcm of from Canadian trade 1t might reduce
their markets in Canada but it would not reduce
shem much. Experience shows that whatever
Canadians must buy abroad they will buy here if
| We have 1t for sale. They will pay the full amount
Of their general tariff which is assessed on Amer-
,an goods, rather than buy British goods on which
he tariff is perhaps quarter less because they can
get things more easily here and more quickly. and
because they prefer American goods and American
tlcs TO the English
