School Building Plan

SPOKANE, Wash.-Adoption by the
state legislature OF q definite building
policy for the state universities and
normal schools will be urged by the
state board OF higher curricula, It was
announced following meeting of the
board here. A resolution urging i'm
mediate adoption of definite build.
ing program will be drawn by j. X.
Mccormack, chairman of the board,
and presented to the state legislature.
Mccormack declared that buildings
are needed by the University OF
Washington, Washington State Col
lege and the Normal Schools at Che
ney, Bellingham and Ellensburg.
Because OF what he designated the
lack OF "a consistent policy for iinanc.
ing buildings for state institutions
colleges and universities OF Washing,
ton are far behind" DR.. Henry SUI
zalo, president of the University OF
Washington, declared in newspaper
statement. He said he YVES speaking
Tor himself and not for the board.
The quality, generally, OF the
buildings OF our educational institu.
lions is disgraceful and in quantity we
are very badly behind" he continued
Because of the lack OF consistent
policy of financing, things are getting
worse all the time. This would not
have been the case If We had followed
policy which provided for small ex'
penditures over period of years."
Dr.. Suzzallo called attention to the
fact that two buildings on the campus
of the University Of Washington have
been condemned, while three build
ings at Washington State College
have been started and never com
pleteS.
THE state college and the univer
sity are just about satisfying the de
mand for teachers in the high schools
of the state" he said. 1.-THE elemen
tary grades need larger supply Of
trained teachers than do the high
schools"

PROCEDURE TO
 M AVOID APPEALS
Plan 10 Lessen the Work of the as High Tax Court

Washington, Aug, s.-With the or banlsaiion Of the new Hoard of lar Appeals, which takes outside Of the Treasury the final decision h disputed tax eases. the Bureau of Internal Revenue has set up rev code Of regulations governing procedure in the handling Of eases before appeal Is taken to the high tar court. This procedure includes the creation of new committee on review within the offiee of the soli- eitor Of Internal Revenue, body largely supplanting the old unofficial committees on appeal that fnne- fioned prior to enactment of the last revenue law,
 The regulations provide that in every case where defeieney anr pears 10 exist, the Internal Revenue Bureau will give the taxpayer nos tics of 30 days so that. If he desires, he may fle protest. request hearing and offer evidence against the proposed increase. The letter of protest should contain the name and place of business Of the eorno- ration and the state In which it vas incorporated. n designation Of the year or years involved, a state ment of the amount of tax in dls- pute. an itemized schedule Of the bureaus findings to which exception has been taken and summary Of statements of the grounds upon which the taxpayer relies in con- nection with each exception 10 the findings.
 If the taxpayer presents no pro- test within 30 days of his notifica- ton, final determination will be made and the taxpayer so notified. The taxpayer then. under the new law. may appeal the case to the Board of Tax Appeals. take 1t out of the hands of the Bureau of In- ternal Revenue entirely and go Into the open with his argument and evi- dence, for the tax law provides that all hearings before the Tax Appeals Board must be public and written record of the proceedings made ie the amount involved exceeds s1o, 1000.
 Appeal to the Board of Appeals must be made within so days after the taxpayer has received notice from the Internal Revenue Commis- sioner that final determination has been made. Accompanying the mo- tice of . final determination will be form of agreement consenting to the assessment and if the taxpayer decides to drop his contention, he hay execute the form and return 1t to the bureau, thus closing the case.
 In working out this arrangement, 1t is the hope of the Treasury to eliminate a vast amount of work that otherwise would go to the Tax Board and jam its docket. In other words, the Treasury. Acting Secre- tary Winston said, hopes to reach a settlement with every taxpayer possible and serve the double pur- pose of.getting such revenue as is due into the Treasury at once and reducing the number of cases to be heard before the Board of Tax Ap- peals.
