Carbon Solon's Scheme To Regulate Mining In Utah Debated Senator George M. Millers bill to place coal mines under regulation by the public utilities commission was warmly debated at public hearings held Monday and Tuesday. It was apparent Tuesday that the bill will come from the senate mining and smelting committee without recommendation. At the hearing Tuesday, it developed that one of the largest coal producers of the state, the Utah Fuel, subsidiary of the Denver and Rio Grande Western, is against the move and another, the United States Fuel, allied with both the Utah railway and the United States Smelting, Refining and Mining company, while claiming to take no stand, was virtually hostile. The small mines, known as wagon mines, were also fearful of the proposal,- claiming that utility control would make it virtually impossible for wagon mines to continue operation and would raise the price of coal to the consumer. Backed By Associations. The bill had the support, however, of the Utah Coal Producers association. J. B. Smith, president of that organization, claimed that the people interested in the coal industry purely, and without any railroad or smelter to fall back on in time of trouble, supported the bi. Regulation, he said, would prevent wasteful mining, with entire loss of a considerable portion of the coal resources in the small mines. It might also result in stabilizing the coal market at a price that would be fair to all concerned. Hie deqfed that the pnn ducere association desires to increase the present official prices of coaL Witnesses Differ. ' L. & Karrick, formerly with the United States bureau of mines, contended that coal, one of Utahs greatest natural resources, should be regulated and preserved. H. J. Binch, for the Utah Fuel company, asserted that regulation would probably result in higher cost of coal to the consumer, and opposed the bill. D. D. Muir, for the United States Fuel, did not know whether he was for or against the bin. If it would mean an increase of, say 40 cents a ton in the price of coal at the mine, he as a producer should be expected to favor it The author of the bill said his object was to preserve the coal industry in Carbon county, and to keep the mines on the tax rolls of the county and atate. "This measure, said Senator Miller, author of the Mil, has been introduced for the purpose of feeling out the ground ahead of us and seeking if there is not some way of stabilizing the industry far the benefit of both capital and labor. Ruin faces the coal industry, according to W. WL Knerr, chairman of the industrial commission, unless operators plan production to keep astride with consumption. M.

Mr. Gudmundsen may be readied at the Tavern hotel. All returns must be in on or before March 15, and by filing applications early, load residents will be certain to avoid penalty and interest Gudmundsen will make no charge for assisting taxpayers to make their returns. All persons who have a net income of $1000 or a gross income of $5000 and who are single or not living with husband and wife are required to file a return. A return la also required of taxpayers who are married. living with husband or wife, and who have a net Income of $2500 or a gross income of $5000. Under a new revenue act, the exemption far married persons is reduced to $2500 from the former figure of $3500. Income tax blanks are mailed to those who filed returns last year. This does not provide far new taxpayers, who should make application for Income tax blanks in order to avoid penalties. Failure to receive a blank form for return does not excuse a taxpayer from filing a report, or prevent the assertion of the penalty fixed by law for failure to make return. During the past week, Mr. Gudmundsen has been interviewing taxpayers in the various mining camps of the county. ' Postmaster Lauds Service Given By U. S. Mail Trucks A report was issued'by Postmaster J. F. MacKnlght Tuesday praising the service maintained this winter by the government mail route operating out of Price. According to Mr. MacKnlght, there was not one instance where a mail truck failed to deliver first class mail into Emery county or the Uintah Basin on schedule or failed to make connection with the train at Thistle. This record was compiled despite heavy mows during the past two months. The local mail service is the largest of its kind in the United States. 2-3- -4 Strongest ;Fives In East Utah to Play Here Jn Six - Game Schedule Eastern Utahs colorful athletic event, the lagkmf round robin basketball tournament, win be held in the Carbon Ugh gymnasium March 2, 1 and 4.
