Washington will cessity this threat or warning in its appeals to the House appropriations committee Rut the Capital community positively refuses to believe that it cannot bring to the immediate attention of the House committee the injustices application and the amount of the nine millions lump sum payment, without exasperating some members of that committee into abuse of the great power over the District intrusted to them, Certainty of Fair Play. The appropriations committee is in the very front rank in importanc Ar' and power among the congressional committees. Its members are care- fully selected on the basis of ability, force and influence. Membership upon it is prized, and once won is not willingly surrendered. Long serv ice and experience in handling the| Nation’s finances have given this committee an accumulated treasure of pertinent facts, figures and prece- dents and have made its members ex perts in meeting real National need: by ‘adequate appropriations. ‘Washington does not now ask this commiftee ta,abandon the lump-sum paymeht ‘practice, but it does appeal with confidence for just and even sympathetic consideration of its peti- tions that in equity the lump-sum jyment of nine millions be increased n this year's District appropriation bill. The District has no real cause w0 :Sa.r that its petition will be ig- mor because of pre-existing prej-| udice or pride of preconceived opinion. ‘We of Washington urge: (1) That existing substantive law authorizes increase of the nine miilion lump- sum payment up to an amount equal 10 40 per cent of the total sum car-| | spondence of The W And to them, do not | h and| ask to or of heed in | i inadequacy I HEREBY CERTIFY THAT AT A ME! ing of the trustees of the University of T'njted States, held on January 14. 1927, | with all the frustees present and Yoting. was voted unanimously to dissolve the co ration. listed as No. 18719 in the records o ihe Recorder of Deeds of the District of Columbia.

The current ratio i the substantive law b, ganic act of 1922, and still unre pealed. The wholesale exceptions to the 60-40 ratio involved in the tempo- | rary lump-payment plan of 1926 and | 7 ely suspend the substanti for the year during which | y and do not re- peal or permanently amend the sub- | stantive law, “ Add $400,000 to Basic Lump Sum. ,: The Park Commission law clearly | contemplates (and provides) that the | authorized annual appropriation of a million dollars shall be made, $600,- 000 from the District revenue and $400,000 from the National Treasur If the District appropriations for 1928 were to be made at the 60-40 ratio in accordance with existing substan- tive law, this apportionment of the parks expenditure would result auto- matically. But since tentatively and for only the year, a lump-sum pay- ment is to be substituted for the na- tional 40 per cent contribution. the Nation's contribution of $400,000, or {hereabouts, ~ought lawfully ‘and equitably to be added specifically to the nine millions of basic lump-sum paymient. R The Park Commission appropria- | tion is made unmistakably as a sup- plement to the current maintenance and development appropriation, with its nine millions of lump-sum pay- | ment in accordance with last year's tentative precedent. If the 60-40 ratio is not applied to the whole ap- | propriation and if the lump-sum pay- | ment is not increased as suggested, it is generally recognized that every cent of the Park Commission’s mil- | lion dollars per year (or whatever | part of this amount is appropriated) will come from the District taxpay- er 60-40, fixed in | the new or-| Cohgress will not permit any tenta- tive juggling with the ratio of na- tional and local community contribu- tion toward Capital development to throw the whole burden of Park Com. mission expenditure upon the loc taxpayers. 1. The law specifically forbids this procedure by directing a division of | the cost. 2. The project is broadly national. | The terms of the law suggest the patriotic interest in it to the extent of a cent a year contribution of every man, woman and child in the Repub- | lic, Congress will detect the gross | perversion of law and equity which results in a denial to 109,500,000 Americans of all participation in the | patriotic privilege of parks contribu- pennies, representing the whole Na- tion, from the half-million Americans | (at more than $2 annually per head) of the District of Columbia. 3. The title to all the land purchased | by the Park Commission is vested in | the United States. The Park Commis- | sion can purchase land in adjacent Maryland and Virginia as well as in the District. If the whole cost falls upan local taxpayers, their tax mone, will buy for Uncle Sam exclusive title to land outside of the District in Mary- land and Virginia. Since there is to be a lump-sum | payment contribution for 1928, proximately $400,000 should clearly added by the House appropriations committee and the House to the basic ine million Jump-sum payment. Logically of this million dollars ex penditure there would be contributed | by the Nation in additional lump- un pa on dollars which the basic nine ded should be paid | or in part from the Na-| District bill and under the | plan as practi- | nof the | 1p sum bears to the total | lump- > perc automati upon the X money ted ox resulted, and this che opriation of District nless accompanied by a 1 nenditure of national tax n the main benefit derived by dofinit hy v th propor ottty When ion pla tentatiy ested upon Disi ation tof it extravag economic ased. fact no more 1« expendit its taxes u nt plan thay proportionate er the jnflexi plan Congress expenditures < mioney con the Nation which it rep removes the limit upon and expenditure of th by the District, which it not represent and to which it 10t at all responsible. And as a result we have appropriati from | District tax money abnorn | swelling to. meet whole-cost_exper jtures on tional and semi-nat projects. | To prevent obvious injustice Con- | gress should either (1) increase equi- | tably the basic lump-sum payment, {or (2) exclude great national or semi- | national projects from the District bill ) payment does al |and finance them on some other sup- ply bill, so wording the items thus ex- | cluded as to set forth the exact method | of financing in relation to the amounts of contribution by Nation and Capital | that is thought fo be just, or (3) pro- vide for a local as well as a national maximum of contribution, or (4) by | referendum or otherwise permit the ral taxpayers to have some effective | say in regard to the amount of local taxes and the purposes for which the tax money is to be expended. In appropriating and in legislating | our legislators are urged to recognize by the wording of the law, and in construing and applying it, that since the Nation is in exclusive control of the raising and spending of all Capi- tal revenue, including the District tax money, the United States is the pri- mary and the District only the in- cidental contributor, and not vice versa, as the present lump-sum pay- ment plan seems to assume. District Only Incidental Contributor. Protection was afforded the local taxpayer under the 1878 law not only by the provision that the Nation would ontribute 50 per cent of the total ppropriation but also by the assur- ance that the local taxpavers would | not be compelled to contribute mora than 50 per cent of the total. So in the law of 1922 the effect of the stat- ute was to pledge the local taxpayers that not more than 60 per cent of the total tax would be exacted from them. the 60-40 ratio this pledge was sus- pended, but it was suggested that an effective substitute for this pledge was found in the declared determination of Congress under the Jump-sum pay- ment plan to give the local taxpayers a certain control over their own tax raising and tax spending, involving the power to be extravagant or eco- nomical, and to spend as much or lit- tle of its own tax money as it pleased. But Congress in fact limited its power to expend national tax money, and left undetermined the amount of local tax money that it could expend. And it has exercised this power without regard to the wishes of the taxpayers to raise and spend local taxes not only for strictly municipal purposes, but for semi-national and primarily national projects. It is to correct this condition that ‘Washington now urges the appropria- tions committee and Congress, either to abandon the lump-sum unjustiy one-sided experiment, or to make the Nation's lump-sum contribution flex- ible and to increase it, or to permit the local taxpayers to have an effec- will raise in taxes and how they wiil spend the taxes when raised, or to restrict the kind and amount of appro- priations on the District appropria- tions bill with the result of limiting arbitrarily the amount of the local con- tribution toward Capital upbullding on the same lines as under the lump- sum payment plan the national con- tribution is limited.

The articles, based on the act of 1926 and dealing with all the latest regulations, are written fo clear up all problems connected wilh filing tax statements. The @riicies will run daiiy in The Star for five weelks No. 1. Thousands of letters have reached the Bureau of Internal Revenue rela- tive to changes in tax legislation. Taxpayers desire to know the benfits to which they are entitled under the revenus act of 1926 by way of in- creased exemptions, lower rates, the credit of 25 per cent of the tax on earned net income, and the allowable deductions for business expenses, losses, bad debts, contributions, etc. The purpose of the Bureau of Inte nal Revenue is to answer these ques tions in a series of newspaper state- ments. based on the revenue act of 1926 and the latest regulations relat- ing to the income tax. Income tax returns are required of every single person whose net income for the taxable year 1926 was $1,500 or more; every married person, living with husband or wife, whose net fn- come was $3,500 or more, and every person, single or married, whose gross income was $5,000 or more, regardless of net income. if the combined net income of hus- band and wife was $3,500 or more, or their combined gross income was $5,000 or more, the income of each must be reported on a single joint return or on separate returns showing the income of each. If a wife does not flle a separats return or join with her husband in a joint return, the husband is required to include in his return all income received by the wife in payment of wages or salar: or from the sale of products of h labor. In the returns of married per sons must be included also the income of dependent minor children. Divorcees and married persons sepa- rated by mutual consent are classed single persons for the purpose of the income tax laws. Gross income, as defined by Treas- ury regulations, “includes, in general, compensation for personal and pro- tesslonal services, profits from sales of in property, interest, rent, dividends, aud gains, profits and income derived from any source what. ever, unless exempt from tax by law.” Net income upon which the tax is assessed is gross income less certain specified deductions for busines ex- penses, losses, bad debts, taxes, con- tributions, etc. The return for the calendar year 1926 must be filed with the collector of internal revenue for the district in which the taxpayer has his legal resi- dence or principal place of business on or before March 15, 1927. The tax may be paid in full at the time of fil- ing the return, or in four equal in- stallments, due on or before March 15, June 15, September 15 and Decem- 15, 192 for downtown BUSINESS PROPERTY tract of ground in Montgomery County, fronting on Conn.
