YOUTHFUL VOICES HEARD AT SESSION More Than 1,000 Sing at Convention of Federation of Music Clubs. By the Assoclated Press. INDIANAPOLIS, April 24 —Youth- ful voices—more than 1,000 of them in all—swelled the music-laden breezes today at the twentieth biennial con- vention of the National Federation of Music Clubs. From the cotton mills of South Carolina to the Bacone Indian School of Muskogee, Okla., came groups of young musicians to provide the festi- val's junior day program. A chorus of 400 children from the rural schools of flood-stricken Jeffer~ gon County, Ky., presented Edgar Stillman-Kelley, octogenarian com- poser, & musical birthday gift by sing- ing his operetta, “Alice in Wonder- land.” ‘The white-haired, rosy-cheeked com- poser, who observed his 80th birthday anniversary April 14, radiated his pleasure, From Birmingham, Ala., came the Apollo Boys' Choir, which twice has sung before President Roosevelt at Warm Springs, Ga Dr. Nikolai Sokoloff, director of the Federal music project, spoke at a din- ner tonight. “The Federal music project,” he said, “is definitely enriching the life of America and doing much toward the development of an American school of music.” A nation without music is an “inert nation,” he said, addin, “The Federal music project is striv- ing to make music as easily attainable as the other cultural pursuits which have become a part of our accepted civic and cultural system.” GROUP TO COMPLETE FORMATION DETAILS Display Club Will Hear Several Speakers at Meeting Wed- nesday Night. Organization of the National Cap- {tal Display Club will be completed at a meeting at 8:30 p.m. Wednes- day in the Pan-American Room of the Mayflower Hotel, it was announced vesterday by Miss Tina Marranzano, executive secretary.

YOUR TAXES of Woodward & | will be held at a combined | $200,000). PURPOSE—To raise additional to taxable companies. What You Would Pay and How Under the Bills Proposed in the House. Article No. 12—Insurance Company Tax. ESTIMATED YIELD—$675336 (an increase over present yield of revenue, simplify existing tax, add AFFECTS—AIl insurance companies doing business in District of Columbia. AXES on insurance companies operating in the District would be increased roughly 33 per | cent by passage of H. R. 6032, one of the series of revenue measures offered by Representative Collins of which has been referred Mississippi, to the House District Committee. The bill has three major purposes. increase the present rate of tax on net premium receipts nd on policy fees, from 1.5 to 2 per increase the nominal franchise and license fees First, it would ent. Also it would charged by the District. Second, the tax by bringing into the picture the fraternal insurance companies and the mutual fire insurance companies, which heretofore have been exempt from the tax. ‘Third, applied to the marine insurance busi- ness transacted in the District and substitute for present formulas the same simple rate on net premium receipts which would be applicable to all other types of business If adopted, the bill would affect all types of insurance business, including | domestic and foreign, fraternal, stock and mutual, the reciprocals, Lloyds, | insuring against loss of life or health, or by fire, marine, accident, casualty, | title guarantee or | fidelity and surety, other hazard not contrary to public The yield is calculated to be roughly $200,000 above the revenues taken from the present system of levies. | Some think the additional revenue may go slightly above this figure. There are now 382 insurance com- panies engaging in business here which now are subject to the present tax levy of 15 per premiums. The effect of the bill would be to add to this list a total of | 110 companies now exempt. These would be 42 foreign and 3 domestic mutual fire companies and 59 foreign and 6 domestic fraternal insurance companies. Premiums collecied by the 65 fra- ternal companies in the calendar year 1934 (the latest for which the Dis- trict Insurance Department has pub- lished official figures) was $543,802. It may be assumed the total of premium receipts of these companies has gone up since that year. But, for the purposes of conservative esti- mates, a tax levy of 2 per cent on the net premiums at $543,802 would pro- duce additional revenues of $10,860. The 45 mutual fire insurance com- panies, which are not subject to the tax imposed on other insurance com- panies, took in $254491 premiums in the calendar year 1936 on risks written in the District, ac- cording to a current calculation. The proposed 2 per cent tax on net premiums would bring to the District additional revenues of $5,089. There would be a much larger boost in revenues from the proposed increase in the rate from 1.5 to 2 per cent in its application to other concerns, now subject to this tax. the calendar year March 1, 1936, amounted to $475,- 336.35. To increase the rate by one- third is expected to boost the revenues by $158,445, and with the application of the tax to the futual fire and the fraternal companies, plus the pro- posed higher franchise fees, the grand total would go to about $675,336. The present system of taxes on the marine insurance business written in the District is described by insurance experts as a “riddle.” Onme official said the triple system is as much of a headache to the insurance com- panies as to the District officials, in making the annual calculations. ‘The mere description of the series of taxes and the formulas against which they must be applied requires @ statement of no less than 1,700 words. This outline is contained in Sections 8 to 13, inclusive, in the marine insurance act, approved March 4, 1922, This preseni tax system may be First, there is a 5 per cent tax on the un- derwriting profit made by marine insurance companies on risks writ- described broadly as follows: ten in the District, this to be ap- plied to the average profits over Second, there is a 5 per cent tax on the aver- age earnings on reserves for unpaid losses and unexpired premiums and for the p rposes of this tax such aver- the preceding five years.

Third, there is a tax of 2 per cent on investment income from funds representing capital stock and surplus. To quote briefly from this third tax application, as an illustration of com= plications the bill would remove: “Such investment income shall, for purposes of taxation under this act, be arrived at as follows: assets at the beginning and end of the calendar year and strike an aver- age. Add capital stock and surplus at the beginning and end of the year and strike an average. Ascertain the pro- portion which the average capital stock and surplus bears to the aver- age gross assets. Credit to investment income on capital stock and surplus such proportion of all income, except income taxed under this act, de- rived from interest, dividends, rents and profits on sales or redemption of assets. Charge against invest- ment income on capital stock and surplus such proportion of all losses on sales or redemption of assets.” ‘There would be substituted for this and the other two tax formulas now applied to marine insurance business the levy of 2 per cent on net premiums | on risks written in the District. Just how this change would affect the tax has not been computed exactly, but it is believed there would be no very great change in the total, although the taxes on some companies appar- tax would be less. In addition to the proposed re- visions of the taxes, the proposed new bill would increase the license fees, except as to the marine companies, which now pay a single license fee of $100 if the assets are less than $1,000,000; or $150 if assets are be- tween $1,000,000 and $5,000.000 and | $200 if assets are more than $5,000,000. The bill proposes that all insurance companies entering the field here shall pay a fee for a “certificate of authority,” or what may be called an “entrance” fee of $25. The similar fee now charged to all but marine companies is $10. There would be an annual fee of $20 a year for flling the annual statements of insurance companies. The present similar fee is $10. insurance here without having first obtained a license from the superin- tendent of insurance would be made subject to a fine of $100 per day for each day illegally engaged in business. The bill provides that the proposed 2 per cent tax on net premium re- ceipts shall be paid before March 1 of each year on the receipts of the preceding calendar year. Net pre- mium receipts are described as being “gross premiums received, less the sum of the following: Premiums re- turned on policies cancelled or not taken; premiums paid for reinsurance where the same are paid to companies duly licensed to do business in the District, and dividends paid in cash or used by policy holders in payment of renewal premiums. Any company failing to pay the tax prescribed in the proposed act would be held liable to the District for the amount of the tax plus a penalty of 8 per cent a month until paid. One of the arguments for applying the proposed 2 per cent tax on net premiums to fraternal insurance com- panies is that such associations are business organizations though operat: ing through fraternal bodies.

Proponents of in- cluding fraternal insurance companies in the tax field, however, insist that such companies will write insurance for persons not previously members of the order, but who, in signing the insurance contract, agree to a state- ment they will abide by the laws of the order. .

Incidentally, five of the nine regu- lar departmental supply bills have passed both houses, and in each case Congress already has reduced the total of the bill below budget esti- mates. Committees have gone through the bills, however, and made cuts in particular places, as distinguished from a flat percentage reduction. The present plan of Senator Byrnes, Democrat, of South Carolina, who is taking the lead in proposing the gen- | eral 10 per cent reduction method, is to wait until all the supply bills have been considered, and then bring out a resolution, or an amendment to the last bill, containing authority for the percentage reductions, except in the case of certain fixed cannot be reduced arbitrarily.

At that time certain supply bills were sent back to com- mittee with instructions to take 10 per cent off the total. It led to considerable controversey on the floor. Congress that year reduced all supply bills below budget estimates, but not by a uniform rate of percentage in each bill.

Commenting on a Federal labor offi- cial’s statement that unless the oper- ators agreed to a joint conference he would call a hearing on charges of Wagner act violation, one manu- facturer asserted they would “be no party to conferences which have in- timidation as a background.” Powers Hapgood, a leader of the shoe workers' strike, last night prom- ised to ‘“consider an offer of settlement as a basis for immediate discussion.” National Guard troops continued to | patrol the area as the strike, affecting 19 factories, entered its second month.

Peace was tentative pending can- nery strike mediation efforts, but county authorities indicated the op- posing forces were increasing their potential fighting power.

New wage scales, however, are to be considered next week. In New York a collective bargaining conference between union representa- tives and officials of the Postal Tele- graph Co. adjourned in disagreement over what constitutes a bargaining unit-under the Wagner labor relations act. The conference was one of a series which began March 24 when the Commercial Telegraphers’ Union pre- sented demands for wage increases and improved working conditions which company officials said would add $3,155,168 annually to its em- ploye expenses. No date was set for a future conference.
