Corporations of the type of realty
holding corporations in New York with
small capital stock were given a blow
today by d decision of the Supreme
Court of the United States as to de-
duction of amounts from gross income
in arriving at the corporation tax to be
paid.
The question was whether, in deter
mining net income under the old cor
poration tax, payments of interest on
bonds of corporation engaged In leas-
ing and operating an office building
erected by it on it's own realty consti-
tutes on the one hand ordinary and
necessary expenses in the maintenance

erty." and as such wholly to be de-
Quoted from gross income. or. on the
other hand, interest on its bonded or
other Indebtedness, only to be deducted
to an amount not exceeding the paid-up
capital stock of the corporation.
The Supreme Court held the New
York courts had erred in holding the
interest was to be wholly deducted.
The case came up in connection with
the Forty-two Broadway Company,
which has a total capital stock of six
shares of the par value of 500, and Il
bonded Indebtedness of $4,750,000.

will hold that the throwing of the tax
on land alone was responsible for the
French revolution: that much OF the
great burdens of ireland have been due
to the same principle.

FURUSETH NOW WANTS
LEN|ENCY FOR SEAMEN
Urges Department of Commerce to
Let Bars Down to Sailors Taking
Physical Examination.

S. o. s. signals reached the Depart
ment Of Commerce today from Andrew
Furuseth. president Of the Information
al Seaman's Union. and author of the
seaman's law. seeking relief from the
laws stringent provisions.
Furuseth wants the bars let down to
some OF the seamen who have been
undergoing physical examinations. The
physical test is the usual one applied
by the government. and some of the
men have been rejected because OF
poor eyesight. One man was rejected
because he had only one eye, and Furu-
seth wants him passed because he can
see we'll out of the other eye.
Department officials say that they are
helpless. They cannot prepare lot OF
regulations making exceptions in vari-
GUS cases. A standard has to be set
and If the men cannot come up to il
they must be rejected Some of the men
have been following the sea for twen-
ty years. 1t is pointed out in the tele-
gram. but the department can do moth
ing because of that fact The law was
passed for the protection of the sea
men. and they will have to abide by it
according to the governments stand.
How Will Furuseth Standp
When some of the seamen are thrown
out Of work because of their inability
to pass the tests required under the
law the officials are wondering what
stand they will take toward Furuseth
who was the most diligent worker to
have the law passed by Congress
Furuseth now is in San Francisco
where many seamen are endeavoring
to pass the rigid test required by the
law.
The first recommendation for fine

probable that the fine will be miti-
