Italy Near Complete
Break in Relations
With CzechosIoVakia
X washington, ID. &.
FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER IA, 1851
By the Associated Press

ROME, Sept. 14.-Italy moved
closer today to an outright diplo-
matte break with Communicated
CZechoSlovakia.
The situation was intensified
last night when the Foreign Min
istry announced Italy had called
her consul general home imme-
diately from Bratislava and or
dered the Czechs to close their
consulate in Milan by tomorrow.
A firmly worded announcement
by the ministry declared "a long
series of offensive actions" by the
CzechoSlovaks had made it "prac-
tically impossible to operate" the
Bratislava consulate.
Sources at the Palazzo Chigi,
1taly's Foreign Ministry, told re-
porters that Italy would no longer
put up with "this treatment of her
diplomats"
"Offensive Actions" Listed.
The said offensive actions" at
Bratislava, capital of Slovakia, in
cluded:
l. Frequent police detention and
interference with the Italian con-
sui general himself.
2. Constant and rigid surveil-
lance of the consulate under the
guise of a police guard.
g. Intimidation and interfer-
ence with employees of the con-
Sulate.
4. Refusal of normal service
even medical treatment.
Cited as an example was the
time recently when the Italian
consul general needed to consult
a specialist about a heart disorder.
He finally had to go to Prague,
Italians said, because Bratislava
doctors refused either to call at
his home or take his case for
treatment.
Informants said another time
the consul general was halted by
police when he was driving from
Bratislava to Prague to meet an
Italian diplomatic courier.
Protests Unavailing.
HE explained to police who he
was and what he was doing" these
sources said. Police replied We
know perfectly well who you are,
and we have orders to seize every
thing you are carrying, even if it.
Is diplomatic correspondence"
He refused, the sources said.
Police held him for an hour. but
finally let him go with his diplo-
matte envelopes unopened.
The Foreign Ministry said pro-
tests in each of these instances
had been made to the Czech For
elgn Ministry without avail.
Czech consular officials in Milan
"a city in the so-called Red
North where the italian Commu-
nistS are strong-expressed sur
prise and disappointment at the
order to close their consulate. The
Italian consulate at Bratislava is
not one of major Importance, but
the Czech Office in Milan was i'm
portant to Prague because of
CzechoSloVakia'S BILE

Strip Mining
Continued from page one)


part, the value of lands contain
ing or producing such minerals,
or any of them, or the value of
any right to such minerals, listed
and taxed separately from such
lands, shall increase in value to
the amount of one hundred dol
lars or more, the auditor shall
increase the assessment of such
land or right to the minerals
therein to its true value in money
IN the name of the owner there
on" From hypothetical case
lets do just that and see what
happens.
John Q. Public, a farmer in
Center Township has a 100 acre
farm of which 20 acres is under
laid with strippable coal. He
leases his farm, all 100 acres, to
the ABC Coal Co. and as a con-
sideration he receives a flat fee
of say $l00 per year and SIS per
ton royalty. Lets assume that this
particular vein of coal is approx
mately # thick, thereby having
about 5000 tons of coal to the
acre. This coal is all mined out
during the calendar year, thus
Mr.. Public receives around S18.-
100000 Therefore Mr.. Public's
right to this coal was worth
$4,000 to him, and would be
assessed at that value. Under our
present system his assessed value
would be only $4,000 of 10th of
its true value, using market
value as being true value.
Nov, let us suppose that the
ABC Coal Co. is unable to mine
out the 20 acres of coal, due to
other commitments, until 10
years later. 1t would seem unfair
to assess Mr.. Public's right to this
coal at its true value, $18,000.00
every year for ten years. He
would be paying on $18,00000 for
10 years before the coal is re-
moved. Here, the time element
is factor. In other words we
have "active" and inactive" or
reserve" coal.
Our system of determining
the tax used at the present time
is based on a value of $4,000 per
acre for the reserve" or Gin
active" coal and $4,000 per acre
for the "active' coal (coal remov-
ed during the last tax year, The
rate applied to these values to
determine the tax is the same
rate used to determine your real
estate tax in your particular sub
division or taxing district.
From the figures released by
the States Department Industrial
Relations the coal mined out dur
ing the year 1949 in Noble county
(99.7@o strip coaD was valued by
the coal producers, themselves,
at $685., ,265. Under our system,

taxes on tipples and buildings,
personal taxes on their machinery
and equipment. The personal tax
was much greater than the tax
paid on the coal.
I'VE coal producing counties
have come to realize that taxable
property is being removed from
our land practically tax free. In
Noble county the strip coal has
been tax free until last year. The
County Auditors Association of
Ohio in conjunction with the
State Department of Taxation is
now studying the problem of the
validating of minerals justly and
fairly to every one concerned. We
hope to come up with a practical
solution. Only time will tell.
Following are statistics for
those interested, which give you
an idea of the possibilities of
spreading the tax burden over
greater number of tax payers.
By doing this it would decrease
the burden as it is now distribut-
ed.

"A man who is not at peace with

peace on the education and en-
