De- | lays in affording equitable relief were | deplored and recommendation made that prompt legislative action be taken | by amendmont to the mational tax law %o relisve the mining industry of pres- | ent burdensome mining taxes. | Congress also was asked in another | resolution to amend th> income tax| Jaws so as to exempt income from gold | mines due to declining gold production | caused by increased costs of operation. | Committee Authorized. ! By action of the convention, the min- | ing organization was authorized to cre- ! at> a committes to investigate and as- | cemble data concerning geo-physical | prospecting methods with a view of | recommending possible changes in Fed- | eral mining laws to develop prospecting by th-ss methods. Endorsement also was given to the principles involved in | a proposed Federal “high-grade” act in the interest of protecting operators of fold and other mines. A bill to this ef- fect soon is to be introduced in Con- | gress. ! In accord with the plea made by Senator Tasker L. Oddie of Nevada | earlier in the day, a resolution was adopted demanding increased appropri- 1 ations for Federal and State Bureaus of Mines and the Geological Survey and other governmental agencies in the | discovery and development of new min- | eral resources. Senator Oddie had stressed, in his speech before the con- | vention, that millions are beng lost | through the inadequate support given thes> governmental agencies. He placed the blame largely upon the. Budget Bu- | reau, whose officials, he declared, rely | for estimates by clerks and bookkeepers unfamiliar with the scientific work of such bureaus. { Organization of State and local tax- | payers associations and formation of committees to pass on bond issues and other public projects was recommended with a view of ‘curbing the rising cost of State and local government and un- reasonable taxation. $ , At _its session yesterday morning, which brought the convention to a close, Representative Scott Leavitt of Mon- tana and William J. Serrill, president of | the American Standards Associations were among the speakers. Senator Od- die had outlined the outlook for mining legislation in Congress. He particularly recommended reorganization of the Bud et Bureau to provide more liberal funds | or the scientific work of the Govern- ment. Farms and Mining Related. Mr. Leavitt described inter-relation of mining and agriculture, both of which, he said, were faced by similar difficulties of transportation and marketing and ‘both dependent upon general prosperity for a continuance of. their own. Re- moval of tax inequalities in the iron ore mining industry by State Legislatures and governmental agencies was recom- ! mended by S. L. Mather of Cleveland, | who referred particularly to conditions in the Lake Superior district in Minne- sota, Michigan and Wisconsin. Under iis new president, Robert E. Tally of Clarkdale, Ariz., the American Min- ing Congress is expected to carry out an aggressive campaign during the year for removal or alleviation of grievances and handicaps under which the mining industries have suffered in the past. More than one of the speakers during the convention pointed out that the | mining industry, almost alone among | others, has refrained from making con- | certed demands for relief. Under its new president, Robert E. Tally President. Tally, however. the mining ‘body, it was pointed out, has no inten- tion of departing from its regular course of presenting its various proposals to Congress through the ordinary channels.

NEW YORK, December 8 —The New York Herald-Tribune said today that the George Washington-Sulgrave In- | stitution, organized in 1914 to enshrine the English home of George Washing- ton’s ancestors, is winding up its af- | fairs preparatory to ending its existence as an independent organization. ‘The institution has spent half a mil- lion dollars in the promotion of Anglo~ merican good will by holding teas and nners for prominent English visitors to this country. Enrolled among its officers and members have been Presi- dents Harding and Coolidge, Herbert Hcover, Charles Evans Hughes and | other eminent Americans. The branches of the soclety in Eng- land and this country split when the | varied activities of the American chap- | ter caused the Sulgrave Manor under- taking to be overlooked. The English chapter, which had bought the old | Washington homestead, accused the American branch of failure to carry out | fts part of the program, and the Ameri- | can society charged the English with | ingratitude. The controversy ended with the creation of two separately functioning organizations. $3.00 and $3.50 Ties Hand tailored, silk lined, obviously ties of the better caliber.
