many conferences among members OF
the house interstate commerce COM
mittee.
The democrats expect this measure
to command substantial republican
support and an effort probably will be-
made soon to bring about concert OF
action between the senate and house
on this phase of the administration
antitrust legislation. t#
Publicity Well Guarded.
TIL new bill was unanimously agreed
up by its trainers, subcommittee or
democrats and republicans, headed by
Representative Covington of Maryland
and 1t is approved by practically the
full committee
"The whole theory of the creation OF
the commission" said Mr.. Covington,
'has been to make 1t an efficient, inde-
ters of publicity 1t has control Of the
facts gathered. Publicity Is left to its
discretion and the bill contains ample
authority for 1t to prevent the dis
closure of those necessary trade se-
crets, valueless to the public in pro-
noting lawful competitive business
but which when disclosed simply af-
ford opportunity for injurious use by
competitors.
Powers Of investigation, safeguard
ed by proper constitutional limitations
against unlawful searches and seiz-
ures, are taken from new subordi-
nate department under the control OF
the executive and given to this nom
partizan body"
Salaries $4,000 a Year.
The bill would transfer all tho pow
ers and duties Of the bureau of corpo-
rations and the commissioner Of cor
porations to the proposed commission
of three members, presidential APP
pointees, subject to confirmation,
whose salaries would be SO 900 an
nually each. Only two of the commits
sioners could be from the same polit-
ical party.
The bill defines as corporations all
bodies incorporated under the law, and
joint stock associations and all other
associations having shares Of capital
or other capital stock or organized to
! carry on business for profit.

EXPLAIN INCOME TAX Law
RULES TO BE OBSERVED BY IN
COME TAX PAYERS OF
COUNTRY.
Treasury Officials Issue Booklet to
Clear Up misunderstanding
About Law.

Washington.-After weeks of study
of the complexities of the income ta1
law, treasury officials issued 9O-pagt
booklet, christened it Regulations No
49," and sent it forth to collectors Of
internal revenue in the expectation
that it will clear up many of the mis-
understandings concerning the law
which have arisen throughout the
country.
1t takes twenty-three pages Of the
book to set forth the law itself, but
sixty pages are used in telling how
the net income to be taxed is ascer-
tanned by the taxpayer, when and
where tax must be paid, what penal
ties will be imposed for non-payment,
what exemptions and deductions will
be allowed. Many pages are devoted
to an explanation Of that part Of the
law imposing l per cent. tax on the
income Of all corporations, which re-
places the old corporation tax.
Although officials are confident that
this booklet will prove guide to tax
payers which will settle many appar.
emily difficult problems, there will be
other regulations in the future when
new points are raised. The book does
not contain a new set of regulations,
but is a compilation in compact form
of the ones already issued, with eXpla-
nations of points never before dis
cussed
Under the law, partnerships are not
subject to the tax, but the regulations
provide that annual profits from a
partnership paid to members shall be
included in their returns, and where
such profits are undistributed and un.
paid they must be ascertained and in
cluded in the individuals returns for
taxation just the same.
When persons taxable refuse to
make the proper list or return or
makes false return, the regulaitnos
provide that the proper collector of
internal revenue shall, after due no.
tice, make the return for such person
and the tax shall be assessed on this
return, with so or 100 per cent pen
atty added. Returns must be verified
by oaths or affirmation. Returns shall
be sent by collectors to the commits
sioner of internal revenue in Wash
ington by registered mail. Taxes un.
paid after June 80 shall bring a pen,
