Labor Bureau statistics have strikingly indicated the extent to which prices have ad- vanced in the lumber industry and in agriculture. A bushel of corn or wheat will buy more lumber now than before the war, as will a bale of cotton or a raz- or-back hog. It is true that prices are high- er than they were three years ago and that a dollar will not| buy so much as it then would, | but it is also true that the lum- berman’s dollar has less pur- chasing value. Bringing out these facts is| timely in view of the urgent necessity, felt throughout the country, for greater building during the present year and dur- ing the coming year. The price of lumber has ad- vanced and probably will go higher. This naturally irritates the man who desires to build and he experiences a desire to wait, to “hold off” in the hope that there will be a reduction. Behind this hope is a vague} idea that the lumberman is “profiteering.” The farmer is among those who entertain an idea that this “profiteering,’ exists, Yet the farmer, for a given quanity of products from his acres is able to obtain more lumber than the same quanity of his products would have as- sured him prior to 1914. Tn the northwest $300,000,000 is invested in lumber manufact- uring, 125,000 men are employed and 7,500,000,000 cut annually. The lumber industry is one of the foundation stones of pros- verity in the Northwest and] Pacific coast states. FIGURE OUT MINE TAXES, Fred W. Badley, president of the Bunker Hill & Sullivan com- pany, has been appointed one of | three mining ‘engineers in the} United States representing the silver and gold industry , to help | the government unravel the ap-| parently hopless tangle in which | the mining industry is involved over the war tax and excess pro- fits tax on mining properties. Few if any , of the producing companies have paid taxes since 1917, but are holding vast sums in reserve pending the govern- ment’s conclusions as to what amounts are due. The uncer- tainty of the amount to be paid, | resulting from no clear interpre- tation of the law to guide the tax payers, has caused millions of dollars to be held in reserve, much of which will go to the stockholders after the law is ad- justed and the tax basis estab- lished. Throughout the nation from this source the government will probably receive between $100,000,000 and $200,000,00. During 1917 the combined taxes of mining, mineral and metal in- | dustries paid over $766,000,000, or 35.1 per cent of the total cor- poration taxes of the nation. The committee of 21 leading mining engineers and mining lawyers, which was named to straighten} out the tangle and work out an| equitable basis of federal taxa- tion of mines, has representa-| tives from each of the leading metal industries. Some idea of the magnitude of mining industry can be gained | from the amount of taxes it pays. From the standpoint of general prosperity in the west, the importance of establishing equitable taxation rulings for this industry cannot be over- estimated.
