NG SONGRESS AKES UP TAXATION ews Will Be Presented to ¢ Joint Committe at Ses- sion Next Week. | With a speclal Congressional Com- mittee scheduled to meet Tuesday on questions of mine taxation, the Ameri- €an 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, s0 as to avoid as far as possible discriminations regarding which com- plaints are now made. But if provision for percentage de- bhtlfln is adopted, the mining congress red, “it should be at a rate of not less \‘,hAn 33% per cent of net income before depletion, and should in no event be le&! 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. ; H. G. ‘Thompson of Miami, Okla.; J. of Chicago and H. B. Fernald of New YurkA B. Pernald of New York outlined Incon.sl.suncles 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 a great num- ber of cases more attention to deprecia- | tion accounting is desirable and from '-he lhndpolnt of sound finance is nec- Kl.ne disasters oceupled a 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 mak- 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- cers 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- slon at a luncheon will consider plans for the coal mining exposition in Cin- cinnati on May 18, 1931. The session ends tomorrow. Possibilities of mine development in the South were discussed Jast mgm by the Board of Governors of the South- ern Division of the Mining Con . Plans for the mnnczmznt of the co- ordination advanced by Gov. Bibb Graves Alabama for Southern industry, 'hlch previously had been ap- proved, considered in exetutive session. ‘The Southern Division’s annual con- vention will be held at Louisville, Ky., next March. This will give the; con- gress an rtunity to review the work of mine development in Kentucky, in which it has been operating. Capt. R. M. Watt of Pineville, Ky., is chairman of the Southern Division. 1 GUILTY PLEA ENTERED BY EX-U. S. OFFICIAL| & Clarence W. Johnson Admits One Count of Embezzlement in Illinois Court.

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- erine 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 “Today.” The philosopher recognizes the ex- istence of curiosity which on oc- 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 “Today,’ the final elu'nlx, which evidmuy 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 a 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 a hus- band who appears to have been im- Catherine Dale Owen.
