JAKESUP TAXATION
Views viii Be Presented to
/ Joint Commute at SEES.
sion Next Week.

With q special Congressional Com
nnittee scheduled to meet Tuesday on
questions of mine taxation, the Ameri-
can Mining Congress, in session today,
took the stand that present United
States revenue laws governing depletion
OF mines should be left undisturbed,
except that some amendment to the
provisions relative to discovery should be
made, so as TO avoid as far as possible
determinations regarding which COM
plants are now made.
But If provision for percentage de-
.pletion is adopted. the mining congress
declared, ut should be at rate of not
less than 33Ha per cent of net income
event be less than depletion under
existing law"
The resolution, which will be pre-
sented to the Joint Committee on In
ternal Revenue Taxation at its hearing
next week, was prepared by the Tax
Committee of the Mining Congress,
consisting of Paul Armitake of New
York, A. P. Ramstedt of Wallace, Idaho:
r. C. Allen of Cleveland, Ohio; H. G..
Mackenzie of Salt Lake City. A. Scott
Thompson of Miami, Okla, j. d. Zook
of Chicago and H. B. Fernald Of New
York.
H. B. Fernald of New York outlined
Inconsistencies in income tax laws and
administration as applied to mining.
In addressing the congress today John
T. keenan,. volunteer engineer of the
Internal Revenue Bureau, declared that
from the audit of thousands of re-
turns, it is obvious that in great num-
Der of cases more attention to deprecia-
D. lAes-- II avRS fr.VN
the standpoint of sound finance Is nee
eSSary."
Mine disasters occupied part of the
attention Of the Congress today, and a
new code, aimed at securing greater
safety in mine operations, which have
claimed so many lives, was in the max
ing for submission to the American
Standards Association.
New members of the board of directors
were to be elected late today, and to-
night, at the dinner of the board, offi-
GERS of the Mining Congress for the en-
suing year will be chosen.
The Coal Standards Committee will
conclude its work tomorrow, and the
Board of Governors Manufacturing Divi-
sion at q luncheon will consider plans
for the coal mining exposition in Gin
cinnati on May Is, 1881. The session
ends tomorrow.
POSSIBILITIES OF mine development IN
the South were discussed last night by
the Board of Governors of the South
ern Division of the Mining Congress.
Plans for the advancement of the CO.
ordination program advanced by Gov.
Bibb Graves Of Alabama for Southern
industry, which previously had been ap-
proved, were considered in executive
session.
The Southern Divisions annual con-
vention will be held at Louisville, KY,
next March. This will give the con-
gress an opportunity to review the work
of mine development in Kentucky, in
which 1t has been operating. Capt. r.
NJ. Watt of Pineville, KY, Is chairman
of the Southern Division.

DAY.
It should be undisputed that life
offers many problems whose solu-
ton might be made easier through
the verdict of q theater audience,
but it appears to be hardly worthy
of argument that in the market
place of marital disloyalty. whore
transactions are on a strictly price
basis, there is no problem except
that which crime and vice present
for the solution of the patrolman on
the beat and his superior officers.
Added to the mockery that is in
evitable in such drama is the pure
theatricalism that assumes that two
artists like Conrad Nagel and Cath
crime Dale owen should employ their
fine qualities IN creating genuine char
acters, which in real life could not
exist in the sordid environment that
is involved in the simple incidents
Of the motion picture To-day"
The philosopher recognizes the eX-
istence of curiosity which on &C..
caSions has caused eminent per-
sonages to engage in the ancient
practice of what is called "slum-
ming" but any effort to transfer the
product of the slums to the world
of social distinction is undoubtedly
wasted. For violations of most of
the items of ethical and moral
codes usually accompany a low
order Of intelligence, and there Is
no possible relationship between the
two worlds, though some of the vio-
lators may be clad in silks and wear
costly gems.
There is one surprise in To-day"
the final climax, which evidently
was intended to clear the atmos-
phere of its humidity, but the fact
remains that the picture presents
a distortion of truth in associating
real people with lower sphere.
Notwithstanding the facts here re-
corded, Mr.. Nagel, who is not in
volved in any of the unworthy in
cidents Of the play except as hus-
band who appears to have been inn

Corbjn Screw, Industrial basket

Corbin Screw, Industrial basket ball league champions, and the Na- tional Guards, a representative team of some of the leagues best baskct- ball talent, will battle for the city championship at the state armory Thursday night, it was decided at q conference last night.
 The usual Thursday night drill of Company II, 169th regiment, C. N. G., will not be held on that night so the game will not be interrupted by any other events.
 The championship will be decid- cd in one game rather than in 8 series of contests, Manager Ralph, Recano announced today. This con- test was under the consideration of the two teams during the greater part of the season. There should be a large crowd in attendance be- cause of the fact that both the Cor bin Screw and National Guards have followngs.
 Included in the lineup of tho Guards are players whose teams in the Industrial league were beaten by the Corbin Screw outfit. An idea of how well the Corbn Screw team will do in the state industrial race may be gleaned in this game. It is not likely that they will meet stronger teams than the Guards. Early in the season the Guards de- feated the Washington Hills team of o tnr nrltI ,ot i- o1, o-t identical with that of the Brass City Industrial championship quintet. | The Corbin Screw team will line- up with the regular men, as follows: Joe Luty, center; Andy Yakubowicz, Joe Luke or Charley Baker, for wards, and Hank Arburr an1 'Hammy" Darrow, guards. Arburr and Darrow are former members ot the National Guards. They finished the season in the lineup of Clarence Lanpher's New Britain team.
 The Guards will use Ray Hoist, center; Elmer Swanson, Emil Kar- bonic, Mickey Luke and Lyman Wiehn. forwards. and Billy Yankas- kss, Aldie Hewett and Georgic Luke, guards. Hornly Schmarr, new ad- dtion to the squad, will be ready to substitute at forward

 Like the Notrc Dame football team, the Tabs team is generally regarded as a team of players who are of Irish extraction but this is not the case.
