Means of generally lessening the business man’s burden of making in- come tax returns will be one of the principal topics taken up at the an- nual meeting of the American Insti- tute of Accountants to be held here September 15 and 16, according to lo- cal members. The accountants are trying to figure a way of simplifying the procedure of levying and collect- ing the.taxes. Invitations have been extended to Government officlals and to other au- thorities on taxation to take part in the discussions. Accountants from all parts of the country who have been working on tax problems for years will make suggestions. Taxation Is Studied. The accountants are making a de- taled study of the Federal income tax law as the result of which it is ex- pected that definite recommendations Wil be 1ai before Congress as to steps that may be taken to simplify the process of levying and collecting the fix. When the recommendations are ready for presentation to the public the opinion and comment and possibly | the indorsement of chambers of com | merce, trade organtzations, civic, pub- lic and quasipublic bodies will be heked, it 1s said in an oficlal state- ment. Will Limit Recommendations. Controversial and political ques- tions, the institute announces, will be avolded in its recommendations, and no effort will be made to suggest Tates of taxes or the forms that tax- ation might take.

Motorcycle Policeman Elmer A. Skinner, breezing along last night on the lookout for traffic law violators, fatled to see the sign, which is in the middle of the street and stends less than a_foot high, sloping toward the rear. His headlight, which was due to strike the red reflector of the stop sign and {lluminate the word ‘“stop” failed to do so, or if it did, Policeman Skinner did not see it. He banged into the sign, hit the pavement and was taken to Emergency Hospital in an automobile operated by R. F. Con- ner, 1126 Twenty-fifth street. Later he went home. There have been predictions that the small signs, which are placed directly in the center of the street, would be the target of more than one motorist, but it took a_policeman to register the first direct hit.
