 Tax on Vessels
 Section 1903 of the Revenue Act of 1921 imposes a tax upon the use of yachts, pleasure boats, power boats, sailing boats and motor boats with fixed engines, of over five net tons, length over 32 feet. Numerous in. quiries have been received concern ing this tax. These boats are divid ed into three classes with respect to length, and a separate tax is pro vided for each class as follows: Over 5 net tons. length over 32 feet and not over 50 feet, $1 for each foot; over net tons. length over 30 feet and not over 100 feet, g for each foot; over 5 net tons, length over 100 feet, $4 for each foot. The Com missioner of Internal Revenue has held that a vessel must be both over , net tons and over 32 feet in length in order to be subject to the special tax imposed by this section. No re. tun of certificate of exemption will be required in the case of boats fall. ing below both or either of these specifications.

Taxation and the Press.

A MEXICAN newspapers and magazines are
n subjected to oppressive taxation through the
present high postal rates. First increased as a
war measure and even at that time absolutely un-
Justihed they have been continued up to the present
when the slightest excuse has disappeared.
Representative NJ Clyde Kelly of Pennsylva-
nia has bill now pending in the Postof6ces and
Post Roads Committee of the House which pro-
vides for the dscontinuance OF this war tax This
measure probably will be approved. But in these
days OF juggled economics never can tell
the committee members may fail to appreciate the
advantage which the nation gets from an un-
shacked press
Oppressive taxation in itself is a form of CEN
sorship and step backward toward the dark ages

telligence and character of citizens The majority

Will make iliteracy, isolation and superstition give
way to progress and prosperity and thus strengthen
the moral and social fiber of a people To fulfill
this mission it is necessary that the channels Of
communication-the transportation of the mails
be kept open at reasonable rates for newspapers
and magazines.
Continuation Of the wartime taxes upon the
press OF country is a matter which concerns

alton will be carriad by the poor
Under the old ~ per cent sales
tax the burden did not reach the
people in its full weight, because
merchants found it more convent
ent to absorb the tax in the set
price of the goods For instance.
On goods which for years had sold
for cents or so cents, II was i'm
practical to raise the price to 6
cents or to So cents and higher
raises were not justified by the low
ness of the tax Now, however, the
tax has been raised to 2k per cent

Calvert Street Bridge,

To the Editor, The Washington Herald:
Reaching as 1t does all sorts of
men. will The Herald reach out for
one. who can enlighten q puzzled
seeker after facts?
First. a parable:
One went to the postofice to, mail
letter. The clerk handed 1t back,
saying: You'll have to put an
other stamp on: the letter is too
heavy" 81 don't mind the 2 cents"
came the answer. but tell me-if
I put another stamp on, will that
make It lighter"
Then. the application: ..
A few years ago the Calvert
street bridge was pronounced un-
safe, and trolley trafic over It sus-
pended.
Engineers representing the Dis
trict and others finally .concurred in
the finding that the bridge was per-
haps a bit top-heavy. and that IL
would be brought within the mar
gin of safety by narrowing the su-
perstructure. which was done.
The repairs now in progress on
this bridge appear to AFFECT the
superstructure only. and consist of
taking out certain portions of the
wooden track supports. replacing
them by beams Of structural steel.
II is said that the space between
tracks, and perhaps the whole
driveway. will be filed in with a
ceraent flooring.
Now: If the bridge was once top
heavy and was brought within the
margin of safety by narrowing. that
is. making lighter, the supergtruc-
ture; and II now load Of steel
and cement is added to the super
structure that far outweighs the
portions formerly removed
Query: On which side of that
misty and mystic margin of safety
line will the bridge stand Qf in fact
II Is going to stand)?
Yes, / have heard OF center o,
gravity" Let me add that the only
weight carried by the amputated
overhang was that of a few casual
pedestrians-that the real traffic
was centered over the trusses then
as now II unsafe then. how safe
now? AN UN-GINEER.
