While La Toilette is going to get

ASK INCREASE SALARY
Voters at April Election Will
Be Asked to Give More
Money to Legislators.

At the coming election in April,
the voters of the state will be
called upon to vote on the consti-
tutional amendment for an in
crease in the salaries of state
senators and assemblymen.
In times past the voters of the
state have been asked to increase
the salary of the state senator
and assemblyman. The voter new
er has understood the question he
was voting upon. Instead of the
state stating plainly in few
words in their election notices
just what was wanted so that the
voter knew what was wanted. a
long, drawn out legal phrased
mass of meaningless words were
published under the caption of
constitutional amendment. n d
there you were. Ordinarily the
voter would not read the amend
ment and digest it in order to
determine what he was asked to
do, but, being unable to fully
grasp the meaning would usually
vote no" and call it safe.
The present salary for the en-
tire two years term of the sena-
tor or assemblyman is $500. He
is asked to stay months at a time
at Madison and help make laws
for the people of the state. Fig
uring that the average expense
of the legislator is $40 day, and
he is in session at least one hun
dred days, the voter can readily
see that $500 is not enough. Us
ually the man sent is not a mil
lionaire, and he is broke before
the legislature gets fairly going.
The result is apparent.
There will be a constitutional
amendment put before the voter
at the April election, asking him
to allow the legislator more sal
airy. If the matter is plainly put
to the voter by the state officials,
there is no doubt but that an in
crease will be granted. If it is
written out in the old-time legal
form, there is a double assurance
that it will be killed by the voter
for he does not then understand
the question he is asked to vote
upon.

DEDUCT AUTO EXPENSE.
Internal Revenue Collector
Gives Rules in the Placing
of Automobile Expenses.

Deductions allowed taxpayers in
connection with the maintenance
and operation of automobiles are
the subject of frequent inquiries
from taxpayers in filing an income
tax return, according to A. H.
Wilkinson, collector of internal
revenue in the district of Wiscon-
sin, who has issued the following
for the guidance of owners and
prospective owners of automobiles:
Such cost for garage bills, gas
oline, repairs, etc.-may be deduct
ed as business expense when an
automobile is used wholly for
business purposes, or in trade,
profession, or farming. When US
ed partly for such purposes and
partly for the pleasure or con-
venience of the taxpayer and his
family, the cost may be prorated
and that part attributable to bust
ness or the other pursuits men
toned deducted as a business ex-
pense.
The same rule applies with re-
gard to the abduction for depre-
citation, which is allowed when an
automobile is used wholly in bust
ness, trade, profession or farming
and must be apportioned accord
ingly, when used partly for such
purposes and partly for pleasure.
If an automobile is used almost
exclusively for pleasure, a deduc-
ton for depreciation is not al
lowed.
The purchase price of an auto
mobile, even when used wholly in
business cannot be deducted from
gross income 1t is a capital ex-
penditure, deduction by the reve-
nue. act. The 5 per cent tax which
attaches to the sale of an auto
mobile cannot be deducted by the
purchaser because it is a tax lew
led on the sale by the manufac-
turer and must be returned and
paid by him.
The manufacturer may reim-
burse himself in the amount of
the tax by agreement with the
purchaser, in manner prescrib-
ed by treasury regulations is con-
cerned, the tax is part of the
cost to him of the automobile.
The manufacturer may not deduct
the tax In his return, unless the
amount is included in his gross
income.
An automobile license fee is re-
garded as a tax, and may be de-
Quoted whether the automobile is
used for business or for pleasure
or convenience.
In the event of a collision be-
tween a truck and an automobile
used for pleasure or convenience,
the owner of the truck may claim
a deduction for damages, provid-
ed the truck was being used for
business at the time OF the col
lision. No deduction is allowed
the automobile, because it was not
being used for business purposes.
Amounts expended by owners of
automobiles used for pleasure or
convenience in repairing damages
thereto caused by negligent opera
ton do not constitute deductib e
losses.
Taxpayers are advised not to
delay in the refling of their re-
turns. To do so results In confu-
sion and congestion during the
closing days of the filing period,
which ends at midnight of March
18th.

When Thomas E. Morris, So, a
Wisconsin backwoods guide and
Trainer. was a boy in Dorchester
# wears ago, he used to go fish
hc. he says in the district where
tbe Hotel Lenox now stands.
Long since thought by his rela-
tives to be dead, he has returned
70 Boston, and for the first time
in more than 40 years, is to be
found at the home of his brother,
John Morris, 81 Woodclif street,
Dorchester being made much of
BY four grown-up nephews and
nieces, of whom he never knew
before.
When he was II years old Morris
succumbed to the slogan urging
young men to go west" and dis
appeared. From that time his
relatives heard no word from him
and long ago gave him up as dead.
Landing in the wilds of Nor
them Wisconsin, he became a
trapper. As the larger Western
cities grew, tourists came and
Morris added to his calling the
duties Of a guide. Among the
tourists there came recently a
man from Boston who had known
his family Their conversation
brought back old memories and
determined Morris to write home.
The answer brought Morris
back to Boston for visit. Once
familiar with nearly every street
IN that city, he finds himself lost,
he says. The elevated, the sub
way electric cars, new streets and
parks add to his confusion and he
will be glad when he starts back
to his woods and traps. Il never
could get lost in the woods" he
3ad but if | 60 block from
me house | have to hire a blue
coated guide to get me back"
