HOW INCOME TAX HITS
MEMBERS Of CONGRESS
Not Permitted to Deduct Campaign
Expenses in Figuring Net
Incomes.

There isn't the slightest doubt that if
this Congress had it all to do over
again it would nail fast Il provision to
the income tax law allowing senators
and representatives to deduct their
election expenses from their income in
making up their income tax returns
Congress has awakened to the fact that
it must allow the sergeants- alarms of
both houses to deduct the income tax
in advance from congressional salaries
without taking campaign expenses into
consideration. Thus there are several
congressman who have paid out large
amounts to be reelected who must still
pay income taxes on the money they
spent.
The income tax division Of the in
ternaI revenue bureau will not give
help; it has ruled that campaign eX-
penses are personal. and are therefore
returnable as part of net income and
subject to the tax.

Matter Of General Assertion.

This ruling relates to a point which
has been made much of by commuters
organizations all over the country, and
in practically all of the complaints
filed against the proposed increases in
communication rates the commuters have
given much space to the point that the
railroad maintained lower commuta-
ton rates in order to build up COM
munites and to increase their traffic.
In fact, some of them filed as exhibits
pamphlets of the railroads encourag-
ing people to become commuters,
pointing to the low prevailing rates.
J. Raymond Hoover, counsel for the
Metropolitan Branch Commuters Asso-
citation. succeeded in getting an admis-
sion from o. +. McCarty, general pas
senger agent for the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad, who was the first and
only witness on the stand this morn
ing, that in adjusting its rates he. as
a representative of the Baltimore and
Ohio, had consulted the Pennsylvania
railroad officials to determine what
would be their rates to points where
both lines were connective

OIL Being SHIPPED
OUT Of TAMP|CO
Every Company Except One Is

partment Hears.
DESTITUTE AMERICANS
ARE BEING SENT HOME
Fifty, Unable to Find Employment,
Taken Care of by Consul
Bryan.

All oil companies at Tampico are max
ing shipments except the lluaStcca Pc
troleum Company, against which the
rarranza embargo has not been raised
on account of the alleged non-pay ayment
of taxes The State Department was
today so advised.
The execution at MaZatlan of the Car
ranza leader, Gen. Juan DoZal, was re-
ported to the department.
Fifty destitute Americans unable to
obtain employment at Tampico are be-
ing sent back to the United States by
Consul Bevan on one of the oil tank
steamers which ply between Tampico,
Galveston and New Orleans. En-
ployes of some of the oil companies
for whom there is now no work will be
returned at the expense of the compa-
MES.
More Funds for Interned.
Secretary Garrison asked Congress
yesterday to appropriate s1,Ze5 TO
cover a deficiency in funds for trans
porting and caring for interned MeN-
can soldiers and military refugees at
Fort Wingate. New Mexico, and else
where this year.
All of the Mexicans except three at
Fort Wingate have been released ana
points in the United States and on the
Mexican border. The $4,000 already
appropriated for this purpose did not
cover the expense.
Secretary Bryan yesterday gave his
first audience to Enrique Z. Llorente'
Washington representative of the con-
vention government at Mexico CITY MI
Llorente said he went to the State De-
partment by instruction from his gov
ernment to inform the United States
that full protection would be given Tor
eigners and their property.
Wrongs to Be Righted.
Il made declaration" said Mr.. Lilo
rente, ito the Secretary of state on De-
half of my government that in view Oh
the threatening attitude of Carranza
toward foreign interests in Tampico 1t
was deemed convenient to say that the
convention government will be gov
erned strictly by the laws already In
force and those that shall be duly en-
acted in respect of vested rights.
''All the wrongs committed py the
Carranza government at Tampico will
be righted as soon as the convention
government gains control of that dis
trict, I also made clear to the Secre-
tarv that the aim of the convention
government is to gain. for its admin
istration the confidence and respect OF
foreign nations by showing proper
degree Of care for the lives ami u. op-
erty of their nationals.
Mr.. Llorente's visit was sequel to
the conference which Secretary Bryan
had last week with Eliseo Arredondo
Washington representative of Gen.
CarranZa concerning the oil situation
at Tampico.

Might Appeal to McAdoo.


This decision, it is said at the Treas
ury, might be altered if congressman
appealed to the Secretary of the Treas
ury and could show Il basis for an in
terpretation of the law more favorable
to their desires and pocketbooks.
Congressman. it is explained, have
hesitated to take this course, for two
rea sons; first. because such an argu-
ment has been difficult to invent. and
second because it might prove embar
RAISING to any congressman adopting
such Il course. The Treasury Depart
ment officials hint that a decision fa-
yorable to congressman might also put
the Secretary of the Treasury in a bad
light.
1t remains now for some congress-
man bolder than his fellows to intro
duce an amendment to the income tax
law allowing campaign expenses to be
deducted from net congressional in
comes. In the House, it is learned,
those responsible for the income tax
law have steadily opposed any such
change.
In Reply to Inquiries.
"In reply to your verbal inquiry"
saws the nearly stereotyped reply of
the income tax division to the many
applicants for information. you are
advised that the expenses incurred by
a member of Congress in conducting u
campaign for reelection are regarded
by this Office purely personal in
character and. therefore, not deduct
able in a return of your income under
the provisions of the income tax law"
The Treasury will not divulge the
names of the thrifty legislators who
have telephoned and written letters on
this subject, but it is a matter of wide
continent and gossip at the Capitol: so
the Treasury ruling has been spread
abou. in the corridors from one con-
gressman to another.

Not on Percentage Basis.


Passenger tariffs are not made on

They are made on mileage basis, lie

crease of 40 per cent on Communication
tickets and 1212 per cent on straight
tickets.
clared that in making the increase no
certain percentage was decided upon.
Each station and ticket was consid-
cred separately.
how did you arrive at the AZ per cent
increase in the rate to Garrett Park,
Md. on the sixty-trip ticket"
I'VE just advanced the sixty-trip
other parts of the line. You will find
that the rate to Garrett Park is less
than a cent mile"
Jackson II. ,Ralston. representing the
Suburban Citizens Association Of Prince
Georges county. sought to get figures
from Mr.. McCarty as to the volume of
traffic to various stations on the So
called Washington branch of the Baltl-
more and Ohio: running between Wash
ington and Baltimore Witness fur
nished a hard problem to counsel, for
the reason that he declined to estimate
the volume of traffic from stations not
appearing in the census reports on the
ground that he had been ruled out for
attempting to give hearsay evidence
He would not admit that the popula
tion at and in the vicinity of the small
er stations had increased.
Counsel for the Baltimore and Ohio
was upheld in his objection to the
line of questioning followed by Mr.
Ralston. who sought to get the per
centages of increases on rates to
various stations. His answer invari-
ably WAS that the roads did not deal
III percentages.
Number of Trains Reduced.
You have sought to c@onomiZe by
cutting off some of the trains said
Mr.. Ralston Then you have increased
the rates. On what basis do you justi-
fy yourself in giving less facilities
and then increase the rate"

munerative rate" said Mr. McCarty

ITO what extent have you cut the

We'll. bring them down in the
morning and get them back in the
evening. That seems to be sufficient"
replied McCarty.
However. Mr.. McCarty sought to side
step the train-service question. saying
he was there to testify as to rates
Counsel for the Baltimore and Ohio de
clared that another witness would he
produced to testify 10 the train

Railroad counsel objected to a question
of Mr.. Rillston as to the reason for MAX

decreased traffic.
Commissioner Daniels ruled the qucs-
ton Il fair one.

ASK EMBARGO ON

CHICAGO RETAIL GROcERS PASS
RESOLUTION TO PRESENT
TO CONGRESS.

on the export of wheat and flour as
well as on arms and ammunition, it
was announced here today. would be
introduced al the next meeting of the
Chicago Retail Ciocers and Butchers
Association.
S. Westerfeld. chairman of the
trades relations committee of the Ma
tional Association of the Retailers,
planned to begin in this manner a de
termined fight against the high cost
of flour and incidentally Of home bak-
ed bread
Leaders on the exchange predicted
today in some instances that if the
price OF wheat went much higher
there would be a general turning to
corn in place of wheat bread both in
this country and in Europe. Other
dealers were of a contrary opinion and
declared that bankers complaints
were unwarranted-th a barrel OF
flour costing 81 would make 27j
loaves of bread, for which the re-
taller collected $13.75 at cents a
loaf Who got the difference, was
asked and the conclusion was drawn
that wheat was still relatively cheap
One we'll known expert put the
breadstuff situation this way:
1T is not so much a question Of
price for wheat as a question of sup
ply. viii there be enough to feed two
continents? If wheat goes to 81 it

fore"
In this connection, one Of the prin-
cipal firms on the board of trade
made public dispatches received to-
day indicating that farmers ideas as
to corn were way up-that many
growers said corn would soon sell at
81 a bushel on the farms. The latest
price of May Corn in Chicago today
was &c 3-S cents.
