WASHINGTON, Jan. S.-Ratifca-
ton of the peace treaty. with or
without reservations, and no govern
ment ownership of railroads were
the outstanding points Of an address
by Sen. Pomerene of Ohio Thursday

demand of the hour and ratification

ward reaching this condition.

tions should not forget that there
already is a league of information
alists, bolshevists and l. W. VS."
Railroad Problem.
Turning TO the railroad problem,
Mr.. Pomerene said: 1T is with eX-
IRENE regret that 1 learn an effort
may be made TO commit the demo-
cratic party to government owner
shin OF railroads
IF there ever was any substantial
sentiment in this country for gov
eminent ownership, it has disap-
peared in the face of experiment we
have had in the last two years"
The Plumb plan, advanced by the
railroad unions. was denounced as
"A scheme $50 akin 10 Russian soviet
ism" that the speaker was amazed
that any American believing in the
institutions of this country could
suggest IT, Detailing his objections
to government ownership, Mr.. Pom
creme said such a scheme would
mean the sale OF billions in bonds
which would depress other govern
menU obligations and would involve
intricate legal questions between the
states and the national government.

ACCOUNTS BOARD
MODIFIES ORDER
Would Compromise With For
mer Coroner on Refund
of Fees Collected.

When the Indiana state board OF
accounts demanded that DR.. T. J.
Swantz. former St. Joseph county
coroner, refund to the state s1,S1AsO
in fees collected by DR.. swantz in
holding inquests during his term OF
office. It overstepped its authority
and did not follow Indiana supreme
court decisions. according to brief
in defense Of DR.. Swantz, filed by
his counsel. State Sen. Charles A
Eagerty.
Although alleging that DR.. Swantz
during his term Of Office collected
S1.8149O In Illegal fees, the board
Of accounts now offers to compro-
mise with the former coroner on the
refund 10 the state OF s365.25 OPP
proximately one-sixth Of the original
amount demanded by the board
from DR.. Swantz.
Holdings OF Board.
The board holds that whenever a
was found that the deceased over
whom the inquest was held did not
come to his death by violence, any
fees collected by the coroner for
holding such inquest were illegal
and should be returned to the state.
All coroner's fees are paid by the
board Of county commissioners upon
the presentation Of the account by
the coroner.
The brief in DR.. Swantz's defense
sets out that the purpose of a cor
oner's inquest is TO determine the
cause Of death when there is
reasonable presumption that the
cause may have been violence. The
brief cites a long line of Indiana SUI
preme court decisions in support OF
its contention. some of the decisions
cited being handed down in similar
suits brought by the state board OF
accounts against county officials.
The brief further points out that a
coroner would have no way of find
ing out the cause OF death until an
inquest was held, and that the Off
cial cannot be held responsible for
the cause.

IN the preparation Of a return on
any trade or business Il must be de-
termined just what constitutes
trade or business" SAYS Mr..
Hess. In explaining what a
trade or business OF an individual
is. he stated. that Il is de-
fined as the pursuit OF an occupa-
ton which the individual devotes
all or part Of his time and attention
for the purpose OF livelihood or
profit A single transaction or a
series OF Isolated transactions IS not
regarded as a business.
4 person may carry on more than
one business II he devotes sufficient
time TO each and may claim as de-
ductions the business expenses OF
each. Mere investment OF capital
for profit is not enough 20 permit
such a claim. An example CT this
IS the man who invests In oil stock
