which is that "a rate of speed exceed
ing fifteen miles an hour shall consti-
tute prima facie evidence of prohibit
ed rate Of speed" or, as the conver-
sation lasted about two minutes, he
might have repeated another paragraph
from his letter of Tuesday, in which
he said:
81 wish you would begin most
vigorous crusade against drivers of all
vehicles, pleasure and commercial
alike, who violate the rules of the road

crossings and through the highways
at reckless rate of speed, and the
rapid driving of motor cars over in

use, must be discontinued

IL ended abruptly, permitting vehicles
waltlng IN the rear to proceed, and the
Mayors car was directed south on
clinton Street-a one-way thorough
tare open only to north bound traffic
according to the regulations.
II Minutes for 51a Miles
1t was 8:18 when the Mayors car.
with its sign inscribed with l The
initials of the Police Department. drew
away from the curb in front of the
mayors home. Seventeen minutes later
1t was at the City Hall, having tra-
versed distance of about five and q
half miles and stopped for ruc runr
with the policeman.
Within two blocks after it left 95o
bushwick Avenue Mayor Hylan's car
was DONG twenty miles an hour, ac-
cordlng to the speedometer of the car
IN whlch Tribune reporter happened
TO oe following behind. When Will
loughby Avenue was reached the
speedometer needle was trembline
at the twenty-hve-mi mark.
AT Johnson Avenue, little farther
along, a trolley car had stopped while
passengers got on and off. Traffic req
ulations provide that under such ciT-
cumstances vehicles must not pass or
approach within eight feet of the troll
ley car. The Mayors automobile, how
ever, swung to the west and swept
past the stationary car at twenty
mile clip.
Down Montrose Avenue the Mavor
sped at eighteen miles an hour to the
Williamsburg Bridge and again the
speedometer needle in The Tribune's
car behind shot up to the twenty-five-
mile mark and, within half a minute,
had leaped to the tnirty-mile mark.
Thirty-one Miles an Hour
1t did not stop there, but edged to
the thirty -one-mile mark, which It held
during most of the trip across the
bridge. Just before reaching the police
man with whom the Mayor stopped to
talk, the machine slowed down to fifteen
miles.
Clinton Street, with it's one-way traf-
TIC regulation, was negotiated in short
order: The automobile which followed
tne mayors was permitted to proceed
down this street also, although Vehicles
behind were signalled to proceed an.
other block before turning south.

In the case of non-residents the tax
is upon the income received from
sources within the state. For the pur-
pose of encouraging investments in New
York securities by non-residents, the
law excerpts the tax interest on bank
deposits. interest on bonds, notes and
other obligations and dividends Of cor
poratlons received by non-residents ex-
cept to the extent to which these shall
be part of income from a busintss,
trade; profession or occupation carried
on in this state. The tax is, however
imposed upon incomes received by non
residents from any business or occu-
patton carried on in the state and for
protlts arising from dealings in prop
erty within the state. The nonresident

or more for salaries, wages, commits

tlon Tor personal services, are required
to withhold two per cent, unless a GER

Under these provisions it is probable
that many persons living in neighbor-
ing states and deriving income from
business or employment within this
stare or dealings upon the exchanges
Will escape payment of any tax.
Other Provisions Like U. S. Law
The provisions affecting the duties
of partnerships and fiduciaries under
the state law are similar to those of
the Federal law. Estates are subject
to taxation in the same manner as in
dlvlduals, except in cases where the
income is distributed periodically.
The first tax is levied upon income
for the calendar year 1919 and the
first return is due on March Is, 1920

Relief From Taxes
On Life Insurance
Asked by Actuar'ies

The Actuarial Society of America. an
organization composed of the actuarial
officers of the principal life insurance
companies Of North and South Amor
ica, opened its thirteth annual con-
vention at the Hotel ssuor yesterday
About 12O delegates. principally from
the United States and Canada, were
present.
The convention was opened by Henry
Molr, OF New York, president Of the
scclety and actuary officer of the Home
Late Insurance Company. Mr. Moir
discussed taxation as it relates to life
insurance and pleaded for exemption
OF llfe insurance from taxes on the
ground that it was vital social force
and should be fostered by the govern
ment. He said it would be perfectly
proper that public funds should be
used III stimulating life insurance.
Fostering Laws Urged
"The power to tax is the nowor -

structure has grown UP as business,

does not alter its character in that it's

Mr.. Moir was followed by Arthur
Hunter, chief actuary of the New York
Life Insurance Company, who dis
cussed the question whether the now
mortality tables, based on war and in
fiuenza, should be the basis for premi-
ums and reserves. Mr. Hunters con
clusion was that it is too early to give
positive answers TO the question.

The new state income tax law, which
is modelled upon the Federal income
tax law, affects all residents of the
state whose annual income is $1,000
or more if unmarried, or $4,000 if
married, and all non-residents of
the state deriving income in any
amount from business conducted
within the state. 1t provides for q
tax at the rate of / per cent upon the
first $4,000 of net income, 2 per cent
upon the amount in excess of $4,000.
but not in excess of $4,000, and per
cent upon the amount in excess of
$4,000.
1t was estimated by Senator Dav-
enport, who introduced the bill in the
Senate on behalf of the Committee on
taxation as part cf the state pro-
gramme to replace the amount of rev.
enue which will be lost because of pro-
hlbition, that this tax will produce
SoO,O00,0OO in revenue. The law affects
both residents and non-residents of the
state, but the provisions applying to
non-resldents exempt from the tax in
come upon investments within the state
which are not connected with a bust
this state.
Effect on Residents
In the case of individuals who are
residents of the state the tax is levied
upon the gross income less allowable
deductions, which are practically the
same as those provided by the Federal
income tax law. AS in the case of
the Federal law, the proceeds of life
insurance and endowment policies, the
value of property acquired by gift
amounts received through accident or
health insurance or under workmen's s
compensation laws, and damages re-
celved by suit or agreement on ac-
count of injuries or sickness are ex-
empt. Interest upon bonds of the
United States or its possessions or OF
this state or any municipal corpora
ton or political subdivision of this
state are exempt; but interest upon
the bonds of other states will be sub.
ject to the tax
Amounts received through the wal
risk insurance act and the salaries
of officials and employees of the United
States are also exempt. Dividends are
taxable at the same rate as other in
come Interest upon investments reg
lstered since June 1917, under the
secured debts law 4 exempt during
the period of years I which the tax
has been paid.
Allowable Deductions
The allowable deductions, which fol-
low closely the Federal law, include
expenses Of business, interest paid
upon personal indebtedness in the pro-
portion which the net income bears
to the total income, taxes paid within
the year but not including either Fed
eral or state income taxes, losses sus-
tanned, including losses upon transac-
tions entered into for profit but not
connected with trade or business,
worthless debts charged off during the
year, depreciation of property used
in trade or business, depletion in the
case of mines. G.! and gas wells and
timber, and contributions to religious,
