Testing The Income Tax
Iron the Washington Postl

The Chamber OF Commerce of the
United States will earn the gratitude
Of most of the business men of the
country if Il carries out its announce
ed purpose OF testing in the courts
some OF the features Of the income
tax, as defined by the internal
revenue bureau.
Until recently the attitude of most
Democrats toward the income tax saw
ored somewhat OF gloating. II was
as if they had put something across"
on the Republicans-som something so
popular among the great majority of
people that no one would dare criti-
cize Il.
II was on the general theory that
only very small percentage of the
population would be affected by the
income tax that the Democrats adopt
ed their boastful attitude. They over
looked the fact that even taxes of this
kind usually are passed along Even
the corner grocer is apt to pass some
of the tax 10 his customers.
The particular anomaly of thesin-
come tax which the Chamber of Com
merce intends to test in the courts is
the regulation of the administrative
officers. which. for the purpose OF the
law taxing net incomes, requires bus.

DREAM. A BOAT, PROVES
herself NON -SINKADLE

Mrs Oliver r. lngersoll, widow OF
the inventor, yesterday held a sue
cessful test of the Dream non-sink-
able life boat in the Christiana river
near the Thomas c. Mum and Cos
wharf. The boat did everything that
was claimed for il and the test was
witnessed by a large number OF per-
sons.
Colonel A. L. Smith, depot quarter
master Of New York, who was here
about month ago and superintend-
ed the test of boat built by the
local firm for the department which
he represents, but which failed to
self-right, witnessed the trials yester-
day.
The boat was shipped from here to-
day to the Panama Canal where II
will be put on a collier.
The Dream model which caused
so much comment by its wonderful
stunts was capsized close to Third
I street bridge, and in four seconds II
had righted itself, in II seconds lat
er had also bailed itself. The engine
in charge of Edwin r. Wilson, rep
resentative of the Standard Engine
Company. was also given thorough
tryout and found TO be in perfect con-
dition. Later on 40 men were plac-
ed in it and the floor was found to
be a good eight inches above th'
water line, which is considered very
| high record.

mess men to account for gains from
all their transactions, but permits
them to deduct only such losses as
occur in a regular occupation.
Returning TO the corner grocer
again. if he sells two pieces OF real
estate at the same time, at pioiit
of 81 900 for one. and a loss of Sl,OOO
for the other, he must report the Tor
mer as "income" and is not permitted
To offset It with the loss of $1,000. In
other words, while one transaction
actually offsets the other, his state
ment must show that he made $1,000.
He pays the tax on a fictitious income.
There are many other incongrultles
in the income tax law, and these,
rather than the imposition of the tax
itself. have made il Objectionable TO
thousands of persons who do not mind
bearing more than their share OF taxa
tion. The fact that railroads and all
other corporations are competed 10
employ extra men TO collect the tax
for the government is simply one OF
the many Objectionable features. But
the countless clerks In many cities
who have to miss their supper IN
order to do this work, have no love
for the income tax, even though they
do not have to pay it.

ORR NEW POLICE COMMISSIONER.

JUDGE RICE has appointed William b. Megear.
prominent and popular business man, to be Po-
lice Commissioner to succeed Thomas ~ Sayton whose
term will expire ON May l.
Like Commissioner Stayton Mr. Megear is Demo-
cra although not particularly active partisan So
far as expressions opinion have been heard the
psntment meets with public favor Judge Rice had
many men under consideration He finally decided
that Mr. Aegcar better suited for the place than
any of them and that the public would be we'll served
by his appointment
The new commissioner is not Wilmington man.
He has been here only six years He born and
raised in Smyrna. Prior TO coming to this city and
opening wholesale grocery store he was retail mer-
chant in that town succeeding to business that had
been established by his father.
Some persons may be disposed to criticize Judge
Rice for having selected of such comparatively
short residence in this city assist in administering
shortness of his residence had much to do with the
selection Mr. Megoar may be free from the factiona
and other bitterness that has existed in and about tho
Police Department and caused much of the trouble ex-
listing therein.
When Mr. Megear asked yesterday what his
policy would be- said he would stand for efficiency,
first last and all the time If he lives up to that policy
the department should be benefited greatly by having
such a man on the commission. The people Of our
city will be quite disposed to give him every oppoT-
tunity possible to put that policy into effect
The new commissioner is man OF pleasing person
ality He many friends in all sections of the State
They will wish him well when he takes upon himself
the responsible duties OF the Office which he has been
appointed.
