Various experiments are being made to determine the comparative value of the materials and details of the methods followed by other countries in collecting stones designed for use on high- ways and in testing them in fields and laboratories have been called for. The State Department has been asked to trans- mit carefully prepared inquiries to the proper burcaus in France, England, Ger- many, Austria and Italy.

THE TAX ON INCOMES Officials and Residents Who Are Made Liable. NO COLLECTOR APPOINTED YET But the Work is Going on Just the Same. PROVISIONS OF THE LAW There is evidently some hitch over the selection of an income tax collector for the District of Columbia. The appointment is vested in Collector Vandiver, whose dis- trict embraces the states of Maryland and Delaware and the District of Columbia. Under the recent act of Congress making special provision for the appointment of over 200 additional deputy collectors for the collection of the income tax, Collector Vandiver was allotted five assistants. The allotments were made by the Secretary of the Treasury. Although the assignment to localities was left in all cases to the re- spective collectors, there seems to have been a tacit understanding that one at least of the additional deputies allowed to Collector Vandiver would be specially as- signed to the District of Columbia. It is known that that particular section of the country numbers among its residents many persons who are subject to the tax. It is estimated that there are more peo- ple whose annual incomes exceed the $4,000 limit residing within the bounds of the ten miles square constituting the national cap- ital than ia any other locality of similar dimensions in the United States. Not the least of these, numerically, are the officials of the federal government. Chief in this class is the President of the United States. He will be taxed at the rate of 2 per cent on $46,000, representing his official salary, minus the deduction of $4,000, and at the same rate on his private income from rents, investments, etc., in addition. All the members of the cabinet, justices of the Supreme Court, the higher officers of the army and navy stationed in this city, many of the federal bureau officers, the District Commissioners, the members of the District judiciary, the Court of Claims and not a few subordinate officials, who, by judicious investments, are in receipt of taxable incomes, are liable to the tax. Mem- bers of Congress are liable to the tax, but the collection from them will probably be made at their respective homes. 2 The Local Collector. Collector Vandiver has already apointed four of his five deputies and has assigned one to the state of Delaware and the other three to the state of Maryland. He fre- quently runs over from his headquarters at Baltimore and spends considerable time in consultation with the officials of the internal revenue bureau in regard to the execution of the income tax law. His last visit was day before yesterday. He was questioned about the income tax collector for the District of Columbia and said he had not yet fully made up his mind with respect to that appointment. He said he was attending to that particular business himself for the present and that all returns made by residents of the District were being forwarded direct to him unopened. Although the time for making such returns for the year 1894 has been extended until April 15 next, he had aiready received quite a number of them. At his sugges- ticn, all returns from residents of his dis- trict, filed at the Treasury Department, have been forwarded to him at Baltimore, and a similar course has been followed in the case of returns entrusted to his regu- lar deputies in this city. He made no ex- planation of his failure to assign an in- come tax collector to the District, but inti- mated that he would make an appointment of that kind in the course of a week or two. According to his view of the case, there is no, special necessity for haste in the matter, inasmuch as Congress has ex- tended the time for making returns. Status of the Law. The probabilities are that the United States Supreme Court will pass upon the test cases involving the constitutionality of the income tax law» before April 15 next, up to which time returns for 1804 may be legally made. If the law shall be declared unconstitutional and hence void, there will, of course, be no occasion for returning incomes. But until that point is judiciully determined it must be assum- ed that the law is valid, and that it must be complied with in every particular. As has been already stated in The Star, there are two classes to this tax, the per- sonal and the corporate income. In_ the first, or personal class, tax is levied on all incomes above $4,000, whether derived from fixed salaries, professional fees, profits in business, investments, gifts or inheritance The tax is 2 per cent on the excess of 400 per annum. For the cal- endar year 1594 the return must be made by or before April 15, and the assessment made thereon by the collector must be paid on or before July 1 next. Every citizen of the United States, whether at home or abroad, and every person residing in the United States, whether citizen or alien, having an income of more than $4,000, re- gardless of its source, is subject to this tax. Any person, neither a citizen nor a resident, deriving such an income from Froperty or investments in the United States, is also liable to the tax. Although only incomes above $4,000 are subject to the tax, every person whose in- come last year excceded $3,500 is required to make a return on or before April 15 next. Guardians, trustces, &c., are requir- ed to return the incomes of minors and others for whom they hold trust funds, when such income exceeds $3,500 per an- num. Blank forms for returns are provided by collectors of internal revenue for the va- ricus districts. Some persons may receive these blank forms from the collector by mail or messenger, but the failure of the collector in this respect in no wise relieves persons subject to the law from the pen- alty imposed in failing to make the pre- scribed return, If they do not receive the blank forms in the manner indicated’ it is their duty to apply for them. There ure two forms, one for persons and the other for corporations. Each contains full in- structions as to the method of filling them out. : Under the law if any person having a returnable income willfully neglects or re- fuses to make a return within the pre- scribed time or makes a willfully false or fraudulent return,the collector or his deputy is authorized to make the return, ‘according to the best information he can obtain by the examination of such person or any other evidence.” In case of neglect or re- fusal to make the proper return, the eol- lector is directed to add a penalty of 50 per cent to the amount of the tax due, and in case of a false or fraudulent return he is required to assess a penalty of 100 per cent. The law makes it a criminal of- fense for any official or other person to divulge information about any income re- turns. Rulings of the Department. All sorts of embarrassing questions are presented to the Treasury Department in regard to the operations of the law. The following are some of the recent rulings of the department on this subject: Stockholders of corporations cannot, un- der the law, deduct from their income as business expenses or otherwise assess- ments paid by them to the corporation to make good a deficiency in the capital stock or the reserve fund of said corporation. The gift of a person to his grandchild or to any other person not a member of his family is not an allowable deduction, in the first instances, ffom the income of the person who gave the same, and it is, there- fore, subject to taxation in his hands. The person who receives the same receives it clearly as a gift, and if such gift, with his other sources of income, places his in- come above the taxable limit, he is liable to a tax upon all the excess above said limit. If the father pays tax upon his income and the income of all the members of his family, the amount of his gift or allow- ance to a minor child should not escape taxation, whether computed while in the hands of the father, or by him in making return for the aggregate income of all the members of his family. Profits realized from the sale of stocks STILL IT LINGERS. The After-Effects of the Grip Seem ta Be Worse Than the Disense Itself. There are more weak, tired and run down people today than have been seen before in five years, and owing to one special cause; hat cause is the grip. Grip is not as severe this year as in the past, but it is very prevalent and quite as annoying. It leaves the person weak, subject to chills, with oc- casionally flashes of high fever, restlessness, lack of appetite, bad taste in the mouth and pains through- out the body. The worst thing about grip is get- ting over it, and even after it is broken, it is Weeks, sometimes months, and even years, before the person fully recovers. Here is where the great danger, the great dread which attends the grip arises. It leaves the body Weak, often broken and open to all the attacks = may come in after years, It often ruins the a Now, there is only one way to overcome the after effects of the grip, and that is to build up the system by a genuine stimulant until It regains its health and strength. ‘There 1s nothing which will do this so well as pure whisky, and there is but one pure medicinal whisky in America, and that is Duffy’s Pure Malt. Thousands of statements could be given concern- ing people who have been brought around to perfect health after suffering from the grip tn its worst form, entirely through {ts use. Care should be taken that no other stimulant is used in its place, for there is no other that will answer the purpose so well. Some druggists or grocers often seek to substitute common whiskies, but in a case of after- effects of the grip you cannot be too careful, and shculd secure only the best, or other personul property, made prior to the year 18%, and profits from all business traisactions made prior to said year, are not to be treated as taxable income, with- out reference to the time of payment. Loss sustained by exchange of real es- tate must in all instances be estimated Josses while the property remains in the hands of the original parties,and are there- fore not deductible from income. Profits and losses arising from sales of real es- tate purchased prior to December 31, 1892, ag be considered in any income re- urn. c The instruction as to the trustee's in- come return by trustees must be held to mean, as it states, that the sum received from trustees by the beneficiaries should not be returned as “taxable income.” The same should be, however, noted as income, or deducted as an amount upon which the tax has already been paid. The instruc- tions refer practically to cases of bene- ficiaries who have income in addition to that received from a trustee, and are in- tended to prevent escape of income from taxation. No deduction can be allowed for rent paid for a residence where persons live in rented houses. The exemption of $4,000 is clearly intended to cover such expenses. When a husband engaged in business sustains losses in excess of his income he cannot, for the purpose of evading income tax, Include the separate income of his wife as @ part of said losses, When the wife has a separate estate producing an income above the taxable limit under her control, she must make a return of the same and of the profits derived therefrom, without regard to the business losses of her hus- band. - —————__+0+___—_ APPROPRIATIONS COMPARED. A Comparative Statement by Repre- sentative Cannon of Illinois. Representative Cannon of Illinois, who was chairman of the House appropriations committee during the “Reed Congress,” and a member of that committee in the Congress just expired, has made a compar- iron of appropriations between the Fifty- first, Fifty-second and Fifty-third Con- gresses. He say: “I avail myself of the opportunity to present, for the information of the House and of the country, a statement of the ag- gregate of appropriations made by this Congress—the first half of Cleveland’s ad- ministration—as compared with the aggre- gate of the appropriations for the Fifty-first and Fifty-second Congresses, respectively, under Harrison's administration. For this purpose I insert a comparative statement, which has been carefully compiled and is correct. “From this statement it appears that the appropriations of the Fifty-first Congress, when Mr. Reed was Speaker of the House and the President, House and Senate were republican, were, in round numbers, $58,- 000,000, while the appropriations for the Fifty-second Congress, when the House was democratic and Mr. Crisp was Speaker, were in round numbers $1,027,000,000, and the appropriations for this Congress, with President, House and Senate ali demo- cratic, are in round numbers $0,000,000, Moreover, the late sale of thirty-year 4 per cent United States bonds—the payment of interest upon which is permanent—swells the total of appropriations for this and the next fiscal year by $2,900,000, making the grand total actually appropriated by this Congress in round numbers $103,000,- 000. This exceeds the appropriations made by the Fifty-first Congress, called by our democratic friends *‘the billion-dollar Con- gress,” in round numbers by $5,000,000. “This Congress, furthermore, in addition to the actual increase of appropriations, has authorized public works to be done un- der contract, leaving the next Congress to make appropriations therefor, as follows: For fortification act, $325,000; by sundry civil act, $6,385,000; by District of Columbia act, $261,764; by naval appropriation act, $14,715,000; total, $21,696,764. Thus, the ap- propriations and authorizations of this Congress are seen to be in round numbers . $1,015,000,000."" —____+-»+_____ CONFEDERATE VETERANS. Organizing the So Discussed at the Meeting. - A meeting was held last night by the Confederate Veterans’ Association for the purpose of discussing the report of a com- mittee appointed at the last meeting to in- vestigate the desirability and formulate a plan for the organization of the Sons of Confederate Veterans. The meeting was called to order by Thomas G. Garrett and the report submitted by E. W. Anderson. This set forth that the sons of confederate veterans residing in the District of Colum- bia above sixteen years of age be requested to organize an association to incite fra- ternal feelings among themselves and to take an active interest in preserving an accurate history of the actions of the con- federate veterans during the war between the states and to co-operate with the Con- federate Veterans’ Association in its ob- jects and work. Mr. Mills Dean thought that the organization would be looked upon by the north as an effort on the part of the south to maintain sectionalism. Mr. Totherville excepted to this that the train- ing of the young men in the new organiza- tion would be as patyiotic as any given in any other military organizati They would entertain respect for the flag of their united country, even though their fathers had fought for another. Addresses were aiso made by Holmes Conrad, R. Budd Lewis and Dr. Hammett. A committee was appointed to meet a committee from the Ladies’ Southern Relief Society to con- sider the project of a new building for tho joint, use of the associations. The Ladies’ Southern Relief Society met last night, and the reports indicated that ee would be realized from the late char- y ball. ——__. A Copyright Question. An important question relating to copy- rights has been raised by a well-known publishing firm and is now under consid- eration at the Treasury Department. The old copyright law made it illegal to bring into the United States foreign copies of books copyrighted in this country. The law of 1891 amended the old law in some unimportant particulars, but expressly stated that it was not to go into effect un- til a subsequent date, July 1, 1891. The question involved is whether the new law, not being retroactive, did not release from the importation prohibition all books of American authors copyrighted prior to July 1, 1891.
