STHTES EXPOSTTON BULDICS ReED Commissioners Take Under Consideration Committee’s Request for Aid. The District Commissioners were urged today by a citizens' committee, headed by Robert N. Harper, president of the District National Bank, to it in its project to have each of th 48 States erect a ‘permanent State building in Washington which would be representative of that State's his- tory, achievements and outstanding industries. The appeal was made at @ public hearing which preceded the y meeting of the Board of oners, mmittee s to req invite the 1so asked the Com t President Cool nors of the States to igton for a discussion of the plan in the Spring or early Summer.

Johnson Introduces Bill Setting Time Limit on Decisions. " Senator Johnson of California yes- terday introduced a bill, which was immediatelv referred to the commit- tee on judiciary, to make it the duty of the Federal district courts, in- cluding the Supreme Court of the District of Columbia, to decide every matter submitted in a cause within four months thereafter, and of the Federal Circuit Courts of Appeals, including the. Court of Appeals of the District of Columbia, to decide every such matter within six months. The time limits proposed by Sena tor Johnson's bill are much more iiberal than those imposed under Jaws existing in a number of States, including California, where the max- imum time allowed for Circuit Courts is two months and for Superior Courts 90 days.

Brehon | | H. Somervell, United States engineer ' or this district, that the cost of fill- ing in an area of marshy land be- tween Gravelly and Hunter Points, as a site for the proposed munieipal air- port, would be $495,000. The area would contain about 120 acres, and would be 2,000 feet by about 2,500 along the water front. | With this estimate in its possession the chapter’s airport committee plans |a speedy move to Congress for | authorization and appropriations to | establish _the airport on this site, Henry Berliner, president of the | chapter, said today. | Benning Site Urged. | At the same time it was learned that residents of Benning and Kenil- worth likewise plan an appeal to | Congress for the location of the air- { port in that vicinity. According to officess of the Benning and Kenll- | worth Citizens’ Associations, there an area containing 186 acres avail- |able, and facilities are ready for al- most immediate use to house several | hundred airplanes. The residents of hat section are opposed to the | Hunter-Gravelly Point site on the ground that the cost of constructing the land by dredging would be too high The site selected by the District chapter of the association lies diag- onally off Hains' Point on the Virgin side of the river and is within a few | minutes’ drive to the center of the city. Mr. Berliner emphasized today that the advantages of an airport on | that site include the use of seaplanes, ing almost daily, whereas the Benning ite would be restricted to land craft | alone; the close proximity to the hotel, | business and governmental section of ; the short drive through the | park as’against a long drive through the congested city to and from the airport; unobstructed approaches from | three sides and possibly a fourth, and | opportunity to expand, as the need | arises, to a port 2,000 feet wide by 4,000 feet long by additional deposits of dredging from the river. $§740,000 May Be Sought. | The estimates, as prepared by E. A. Schmitt, assistant engineer in Maj. omervell's office, include a sea wall and the height of the land above the water level of 10 feet. The $495,000 figure, he added, is for the‘'bare fill- in work and does not include the cost of airport construction and mainte- nanc Mr. Berliner and his asso- however, have estimated that a | fund of $740,000 would provide for the | fill-in work, hangars and all other necessary equipment and maintenance for a year. It therefore appeared likely today that that amount would be sought for the airport. The airport committee is composed of Dr. George W. Lewis, national ad- visory committee for aeronautics; Er- nest L. Jones of the Department of Commerce Aeronautics. Bureau; Al- len Smythe, Naval Reserve aviator;| John F.

THE EVENING STAR, WASHINGTON, D. C., TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 8, TOE TO TOE AND VOICE TO VOICE, | FESS AND GOODING SHOUT TO TIE Galleries Laugh as Ohioan’s Strident Tenor Meets Idahoan’s Booming Basso in No-Decision Contest. By the Associated Press. Senate decorum was lost yesterday in a shouting match between Fess of Ohio and Gooding of Idaho, during de- bate on the farm bill. Standing literally toe to toe and voice to voice, the Senators sought to shout each other down, Gooding em phasizing his shouts with a brandish- ed fist o s driving home his with pointed finger. As the strident tenor of the Ohioan and the booming basso of the Idahoan reverberated around the chamber, Sen- ators rocked with laughter, setting the pace for the crowds in the gal- leries. Dawes Hides Smile. Vice President Dawes tried to look solemn as he hid a smile behind his hand, but as the exchange reached the highest and lowest notes in the scale Mr. Dawes sought refuge behind an oversized handkerchief, meantime tapping gently and futilely for order. As the shoutihg died away, appar- ently by mutual exhaustion, Senator Fess sought to illudtrate by telling 'y of a preacher who confided on that when he shouted the loudest he had the least to say. This brought shrieks from Senators on | both sides, while Gooding boomed out 1o his late antagonist that he would 30-50 on the noise.” | " Senator Bruce, Democrat, Maryland, | arose to inquire of the Vice President | “If this is what is called orderly mar- keting” and the Senate was off a on another round of laughter. Duet Is Renewed. was able to pro ceed with his argument against the McNary-Haugen bill, but his state- ments again became too much for Gooding to endure in silence and the duet was renewed. This time Neely of West Virginia intervened “I request the floor temporarily to offer an amendment so that the loud speakers may rest,” sald he. As nearly as any one within range could make out, the exchange between Fess and Gooding was about the tariff and whether it protected the farmer as much as Gooding and other farm leaders had expected it would when the Fordney-McCumber bill was passed | | For a time Income Tax Problems Simplified for All No. 22. To compute the amount of deprecia- tion which may be claimed, a taxpayer should determine the probable life of the property, then divide by the num- ber of years it will be usable in the business in which employed. The re- sult thus obtained will represent the amount which may be claimed as a deduction. For example, a frame building, the probable lifetime of which is 25 years, cost $5,000. Divide $5,000 by 25 and claim $200 each year as a deduction. The value to be cared for by depre- clation is the cost of the property, if acquired by purchase after February 28, 1913. If acquired by purchase prior to that date the value basis is the cost of the property or its fair market value as of March 1, 1913, whichever is greater. Depreciation of a home or, property used for pleasure or conveniénce, such as an automobile, can not be claimed. Depreciation due to changes in the social or business conditions of a neighborhood, or changes of street grade, or fluctuations of market val- ues, can not be claimed.
