American asphalt and pavini,
concerns would make fortune in
Moscow If they could induce the
Soviet government to give them the
job of repairing the thousands of
streets in the Red capital that are
rutted and broken. Most of the
streets are paved with cobblestones
that make walking a positive dis
comfort. Only one or two of the
principal streets are laid with
asphalt.
Pedestrians experience not only
discomfort and inconvenience
through having to use the broken
roadways. but often positive injuries
as well. Not long ago a Russian
woman fell into an open excavation
in one of the principal streets apJ
was drowned in the water that haI
collected.
During his recent visit in Moscow,
Isaac +. Marcosson. the American
writer, fell into an opening in the
sidewalk and suffered painful in
juries about the face, arms and legs.
He was returning from an interview
with Leon Trotsky, the Soviet War
Minister.

Upon specific request of Pres.

whether the internal revenue
bureau will be permitted TO con.
tinue its discrimination against
California income tax payers under
the community property law of that

day.
OF the eight States with com.
munity property laws under which
a wife is half owner OF her hus-
bands property, in all except Cal
ifornia widows have had to pay
estate taxes on only one-half of
property left by the husband on
other half before the husbands
death. Also, in the other seven
States, husbands and wives are per.
mitted to file separate income tax
returns.

againct, said Shortridge, for de.
spite the community property laws,
California widows have had to pay
estate taxes upon the whole
inheritance. This policy was
adopted upon the opinion Of Mrs.
Annette Adams. of San Francisco,
who was the first woman assistant
attorney general of the United
States, with the result that Cal
ifornia women are millions Of dol
lars out of pocket.
Shortridge took the matter up
with Secretary Mellon, the Commits.
sioner of Internal Revenue, the At.
torney General and the Solicitor
General Of the United States, and
finally with President Coolidge. II
Mrs. Adams former opinion is over.
ruled by the expected new opinion OF
the Attorney General. it will mean
refund Of from $50 0,000, 900 to $780,.
100000 to California taxpayers. The
Attorney Generals office today
would give no information as to the
character of the expected opinion.
