Radium Now $70,000 Per Gram;
$120,000.
Producers of "commercial" radiunH
have recently advertised their product
at about $70,000 per gram (about 15.4
grains) of elemental radium, whereas
the former price was $120,000. The geb
logical survey officials have explained
the reason s for this new price as being
the discovery in Katanga, in Belgian
Congo, of large deposits of rich, easily
worked radium ores and to the erection
of a plant at Oolen, Belgium, about 40
miles from Antwerp, for producing ra
dium from those ores, says the i.ngi
neering and Mining Journal-Press of
New York. 'V . "' '
These deposit are at Luiwishi and
Kasolo, near JUizabethviile, in the ex
treme southern part of Belgian Congo,
and consist of veins on the property of
the L'uiun Miniere du Haut-Katanga, a
British-Belgian company operating one
of the world's hugest copper-bearing
properties in hatanga. The veius carry
pitchblende, winch is in large part al
tered to uranium minerals. A sub
sidiary company has been formed to
extract the radium, and a considerable
quantity of ore carrying many times
as much'radium as the rarnotite ores
that have heretofore governed the
world's markets has been shipped to
Belgium. No data are at hand, how
ever, to show that in the aggregate
the newly found deposits will event
ually yield as much radium aa the de
posits in the Rocky mountain region of
the Lnited Mates, though a consider
able quantity can be produced from
the Katanga deposits at a much lower
cot-tj and it is that cost that is ruling
the rudium market to-day.
American companies, closing down
their own mines, have undertaken to
market the African product, and ra
dium is, therefore, now offered at a
price lower than any that has pre
vailed since it became an object of
commerce, and an opportunity is thus
given to branches of government, hos
pitals, doctors and philanthropists to
obtain the precious material at a min
imum expenditure, for it seems prob
able that the prite will go no lower.
Eventually the principal source of ra
dium may again be the oarnot.te de
posit of Colorado and I'tah, and when
that time comes, if not before, the
price will again rie.
Washington, 1.)., C, Dec. C Reduc
tion of the maximum income surtax
rate from the present 50 pyr cent to
not more than 25-per cent. Snd the
closing up so far as possible.of exist
ing avenues of escape from federal
taxes are urged by Secretary Mellon in
his annual report, transmitted to-day
to Congress. No general revision of the
revenue laws is proposed nor are addi
tional taxes suggested, Mr. Mellon ex
pressing the hope of meeting any indi
cated government ' deficit through col
lection of back taxes and income from
other sources. .
The treasury secretary informs Con
gress that to attempt alone to stop the
gaps through which there is. an avoid
ance of tax payments to the govern
ment will not be enough because the
existing rates of surtax "put such
heavy pressure on the larger taxpay
ers to reduce their taxable incomes
that new ones would surely be found
He adds that the high rates "sound
productive," but that the fact remains
that they are becoming increasingly m
effective and are yielding less and less
revenue each year,
Then bluntly he tells Congress the
time has come to "face the facts
squarely", and to correct the artificial
conditions Which now prevail and
which, he asserts, are not wholesome
from the point of view of business or
industrial development, and, at the
same time, are impairing the revenues
of the government.
The more important of the methods
used by the taxpayer to reduce the
amount of income subject to taxation
are listed by Mr. Mellon as follows:
. Deduction of losses on sales of capi
tal assets, with the failure to realize
on capital gains.
Exchanges of property and secur
ities so as to avoid taxable gains.
Investment in tax-exempt securities
ami
Division of property, creation of
trusts and the v like.
"Not all of these things can lie con
trolled by law or by regulation," he
continued, "and most of them lead to
unnatural and frequently harmful eco
nomic results. To reach the evil the
thing most necessary is the reduction
of the surtax rates themselves, in or
der to reduce the pressure for avoid
ance and maintain the revenues derived
from the surtax..
Until some such readjustment is
made the yield of the higher surtaxes
will tend, in the ordinary course of
events, to drop toward the vanishing
point. The wise course is to reform the
surtaxes now while the system still
functions and at the same time to
close, as far as possible;-the gaps which
now exist. On this basis the revision
can be made without loss of revenue,
and, in the long run, with material
benefit to the revenues."
To support his argument that the
high surtaxes gradually are "defeating
heir own purpose, tie calls attention
that while net incomes of all clusne
during the pl-riod from 1916 to 1MJ0
increased from $60877,80 in 1!16
o $2.-1,735,610,183 in 11)20, and the mini

turns of . income over . $300,000 de

Are You the Man Who
44 Never Reads Advertisements ?'
Some men; who are neither bind
nor illiterate, claim sincerely
that they "never read advertse
ments." Yet, if you could, investigate,
in each case you would find that
the man who "never reads ad
vertisements" used an adver
tised tooth paste or shaving
cream or soap. If he owns an au
tomobile it will be an advertised
car. If you ask his opinon of any
automobile he will reply in words
that might have been lifted bod
ily from an advertisement of
that automobile. (
Advertising has formed his
opinions to a great degree. He
may have received his informa
tion ''through others who ob
tained their knowledge from ad
vertising. But it is a fact that
no man can escape the effects of
advertising even if he does say
he "never reads advertisements."
Not one of us ever reasoned
out entirely from his own mind
that the earth .is round. If we
had not read it or heard it we
would never'have. known it
In these days of good, truthful,
helpful advertising to say "I
never read advertisements" is
merely your way of saying, "I
don't read all advertisements.
