General Observations


General Observations
while it is too early in the prog
ress of the collection of the income
tax and corporation invested capital
tax to state the probable revenue
from these sources, it seems certain
that the conduct of the public
schools, to which these taxes are de-
voted, cannot be maintained as at
present without this revenue or
some substitute. On the other hand,
there is reasonable hope that these
taxes will be sufficient not only to
complete the amount now necessary
for the current operation of the
schools, but to support, in addition,
a financial plan for rebuilding of
those schools now condemned as un-
fit for further use. Probable con-
tinuation of the tax law makes care
full and reasonable enforcement ad-
visable to the end that notifications
may be prepared and submitted with
equal care and reason. The most
difficult problems of the existing law
are found in connection with those
sections that were of necessity add
ed during the last hours of the ses-
sion of the General Assembly, with
out time to analyze their effect in
detail. No such hasty action should
be tolerated in the future.
"There is now ample time for
study and preparation of the exact
NOrding of desirable changes. To
this work all interested should give
attention. Taxpayers who are now
called upon to review the payments
of past years and who are about to
report for the year 1925 will confer
a favor and be helpful in the stu
alton if they will address to the de-
partment their criticisms of the law,
pointing out features that appear
unnecessarily burdensOme or unfair.
In doing this one should have in
mind that the most just and lasting
law will be the one that bears even
ly on all the people; that is, reason
able in it's exemptions, careful in its
avoidance of double taxation and
fair in not placing extraordinary
burdens or a few citizens. Annoy
ance of taxpayers without necessity
or good reason is to be avoided and
the State should submit to addition
al administrative outlay if convent
ence and Tightening of burden may
be attained for its citizens. The
corporation invested capital tax is

recommended to the Department
that a lenient policy be adopted in
the coming reorganization. This re-
cOmmendation was approved unani-
mously and was made effective by
advertisement in the newspapers of
Delaware. Although this notice Of
fered to accept all delinquent pay
ments without penalty, no general
response was forthcoming.
Since that time the Department
has endeavOred to reach every tax
payer directly. Through the courtesy
of many corporations of the State
thousands of notices were sent to
their employees and the Department
has contacted with many persons
by correspondence.
Though there are a very great
many delinquents the Department
has devoted its efforts to examining
and correcting returns already made
within the two-year limit set by law
for the work. Failure to file a re-
turn is classed as fraud and there
fore, there is no time limit for the
pursuit of this form of delinquency.
4, "The notices for 1925 returns due
March 18th, 1926, will be sent out
during the month of February. 1t
is proposed to follow up all accounts
for that year promptly so that fur
ther delinquency will be avoided.
Examination of Accounts
Apart from the payers of filing
fee, about 10000 persons have made
return of taxable income above the
exemptions allowed. Six field audi
tors are now engaged in examining
the accounts of the years 1928 and
1924 (those of 1921 and 1922 are
now exempt from revision unless
fraud is discOvered). About half of
these accounts have been examined
and corrections made. Notices to
taxpayers will be sent out as rapid
" as possible. Almost without ex-
ception some change has been made
in every account. Had the returns
of the years 1921 and 1922 been
checked promptly, probably nearly
all of the errors now being detect
ed would have been avoided and
100000 to 100000 added to the
States income. Conforming to the
policy of leniency approved by the
Department Board and in recogni-
ton of the almost entire RESPONSE
bility of the State in the pad condi-
ton of the offices of the Department,
the following rule has been adopted
with respect to penalties.
Il. Where underpayment is due
to lack of Department rulings that
should have been made promptly
and recorded for the guidance of
taxpayers, no penalty is oxacted and
interest at the rate of 6 per cent.

"2. Where underpayment is due
to reasonable misunderstanding of
the law. but where no ruling was
necessary to make the law clear, a
penalty of 5 per cent is imposed and
interest at 6 per cent per annum.
"3. Where underpayment is due
to carelessness or omissions of
items clearly taxable but with no
evidence of intent to defraud, espec-
tally where the error has been al
lowed to continue year after year
without notice from the Department,
a penalty of per cent and interest
at the rate of one per cent per
month is charged.
a. The full penalty of doubled
tax and interest at the rate of one
per cent per month has been reserv-
ed for those cases where informa-
tiOns has been refused; where tax
able items have been concealed in a
manner to preclude the excuse of
misunderstanding or fOrgetfulness;
or where the items of the Federal
return do not correspond with those
of State return. 1t is recommended
that, when the period of leniency in
adjustment of the affairs of the De-
partment to a satisfactory basis has
passed, those who still remain de-
linquents and who have had direct
notices of their delinquency shall be
charged the full penalty.
Rulings of Department
Examination of returns has
brought out many points on which
definite rulings were necessary.
These rulings have been reduced to
writing and have been approved by
the Attorney General, whose prompt
and willing cooperation deserves
the hearty thanks of the department
and of the taxpayers. Through the
department rulings are of record,
they are not yet in proper shape for
quick and satisfactory examination.

However, all endeavor has been
concentrated upon examination OF

not subject to further revision after
March 18th, 1926. The billing of
additional taxes has only just begun
and will not produce revenue until
the months of February and March.
There should be collected at least
$4,000 additional taxes for 1928 and
1924 during these months.

BUNGALOW RESIDENTS
 OPPOSE THREE-DECKER
But Owner Is Within Legal Rights and
 Demands Permit

Residents of Stanley street in the vicinity of Ellis street are taking steps to prevent if possible, the erection of a threc-family house in their neighborhood, in which there are now none but single family houses. but which has been zoned for multiple tenements.
 Pasquale Bombaci has applied for permit and has fulfilled the re- quirements relating to filing of maps and plans but his permit is being held up. Inspector A. N. Ruther- ford declined to discuss the case this afternoon other than 10 remark that he has the privilege of holding up permits for q reasonable" length of time. Bombaci applied yester- cay morning.
 The property owners are of the impression that the zoning map was never intended to include their dis trict in the multiple tenement zone, but it so appears. Five houses north and four houses south of Bombaci's lot are bungalows.
 Bombaci has indicated to the building inspector his intention of insisting that he be given a permit since his house conforms with pres ent zoning regulations.

Wisconsin Politics

Milwaukee, Sept. 9 P)-Two fac- tions of the progressive group will divide power in the state govern ment if Wisconsin ratifies the yer dict of republican voters expressed in Tuesdays primary.
 The La Toilette progressive ma- chine headed by Governor J. J.. Blaine and Senator Robert M. La Toilette, gained the United States senate seat of Irvine L. Lenroot, but lest the governorship in the nom- ination of Secretary of State Fred D. Zimmerman, of the anti-Blaine progressive group.
 With the governorship, the anti Blaine forces may have the upper hand in the state but all other state elective offices will be in the hands of the La Toilette Blaine faction. Complexion of the state assembly still is undecided but a sharp tus- sle between conservatives and pro- pressives is presaged. The conserva- tives made an apparent gain of six seats in the state senate.
 Zimmerman, breaking with the political group of the younger La Toilette, but claiming to be guided by the policies of the late Senator La Toilette. accomplished the un- expected by defeating Attorney Gen. eral Herman l.. Ekern, whom he termed the Madison ring" candi- date.
 Indications today were that Gov ernor Blaine would receive 10000 plurality over Senator Lenroot for the republican senatorial nomina- ton, Although Lenroot played a lone hand and conducted an inde- pendent campaign, forces opposed to the Blaine group saw this vote as the result of Reflection from the former unified progressive forces. Blaine had a plurality of 7S,S47 over A. R. Hirst conservative re- publican two years ago. Young Bob La Toilette made a personal plea for the support Of the entire progress sive ticket, which included Attorney General Ekern.

VETERAN OF l9 GREAT
 BATTLES GAS VICTIM
Daniel F. Mccormick of Roxbury Served With
 Canadian Forces

Boston, Sept. 9 LPl-Gas poisoning suffered in France nine years ago has claimed the life Of veteran of 9 of the great battles of the World war. Simple notices that appeared in the Boston papers recently, announce ing the death of Daniel F. McCor- mick of RoNbury, gave little hint of his heroic record.
 Today it was revealed that Mo- Cormick, who went overseas early in 1915 with the 4th Canadian in- fantry and remained there until after the armistice, fought through the following engagements: Ypres (three times), Festubert, Givinchy. Armentiers. Ploogstreet Wood, Mes- sines Ridge, the Somme, Vimmy Ridge, Wilerval, Africans, Fresony, Hill 60, Hill 70, Pascendaele, Burlon Wood, Canal Du Nord and Cambrai.
 He was first wounded on July 4, 1916, and returned to active service on October of the same year. He was wounded again and gassed on July 15. 1917. On March 1, 1919, he was discharged. He was married in London and returned to this country but he never recovered his health sufficiently to return to his work as a locomative engineer. Physicians said he never recovered from the ef- fleets of the gassing in 1917. Besides his wife he leaves two small sons, one still a baby, The family treas ures his three medals, Mons Sta medals, the long service medal and the Victory medal.

Loses Two Finger Tips,
 Fears He May Not Get
 Fire Dept. Appointment

Although suffering great pain, Stanley Gadzik's principal wor- ry as he lies in a bed at New Britain General hospital with his right hand throbbing as the result of an accident at the r. x F. Corbin factory Tuesday, is that his injuries may be the means of depriving him of ap- pointment to the fire depart ment in the fall.
 Gadzik, a World War veteran, is a substitute fireman and was doing vacation duty in the de- partment until he resumed work on a milling machine in the fac tory on Tuesday. He is highly regarded by his superiors, and was said to be favored for a regular berth with the new company for No. ' house on Stanley street.
 At the hospital today 1t was said he had comfortable night and will be sent home today or tomorrow, according to indica- tions. Whether his injuries will maim him to the extent that he cannot pass the physi- cal examination is problemati- cal. The tips of the middle and ring finger of his right hand were taken off and the little finger was badly lacerated.

EDUCATION DEMANDS
 AT NEW HIGH RECORD
New Britain Has 15,673 Pupils in All
 Schools

Approximately 15,673 New Britain children are taking advantage of ed ucational opportunities offered them. Of Of this number ,S49 stu dents are being taught in the high school, and the rest is divided be- tween the four parochial schools and the State Normal school.
 Parochial schools are crowded to their capacities. The Sacred Heart school, with an enrolment of 2,000, this morning had gone far beyond it's capacity, but the principal de- clared that the school will not turn away any of the pupils as long as there is any possible room for them. Every class room is crowded and more students report for their terms work.
 St. Marys parochial school has an enrolment of 1,275, a large in crease over last year. Rev. Raymond J. Clabby principal, announced that he found 1t necessary to turn away over 100 students yesterday and this morning because of the school hav- ing reached its capacity.
 St. Matthew's and St. Joseph's parochial schools reported increases over last year. In the former, 166 are registered, an increase of IS, and in the latter an enrolment of S20 has been reported. Sixty-three New Britain young women are talk ing advantage of the highest oppor- tunity along education lines in the city at the State Normal school. Of this number 35 are in the first year class and 2S in the senior class.
 The combined increase of Sacred Heart and St. Mary's parochial schools is said to be about 800, which is greater than that of the II elementary, two junior highs and the senior high public schools com bined. If the 100 students turned away from St. Mary's schools were included in the combined gain of all the parochial schools, it would prob ably reach 500.
 The exact increase in enrolment of the public schools this year over last year is 110

St. George, Me, Sept. g Pl-A voyage of 4,00O miles that took him to unchartered shores 300 miles be- yond the Arctic Circle ended today with the arrival here of Commander Donald B. MacMillan.

 The 26 members of the party passed their Arctic trip without q single case of sickness or accident, three women who made the voyage were so enthusiastic that they have begged permission to go on a similar trip, which already is planned for next year.
 Explorer MacMillan, the picture of health, will first superintend the shipment of his collection to Chi cago and will then make prepara- ton of his winter lecture tour.
 Remnants Harbor was selected as the first American port of call for partly because MGcMillan is one day ahead of his schedule, which calls for his arrival at Christmas Cove at 3 o'clock tomorrow afternoon.

FUMES FROM GASOLINE
 IGNITE, BURN WOMAN
Connerton St. Housewife Tries to Extinguish
 Fire Unaided

Mrs. Mary kriewenas, aged about 3O was painfully burned on the hands and forearms this morning at her home, 36 Connerton street, in an attempt to eXtinguish fire that started when gasoline fumes became ignitcd from the flame of a portable gas stove in the pantry. Dr. Clement LeLasher dressed the burns, finding one arm more severely affected than the other, but he classified them as second degree and did not consider them serious, although very painful. Had the woman been wearing light, loose clothing, she might have been fatally burned. in the opinion of Chief w. J. Noble of the fire department.
 Mrs. Kriewenas was using gasoline to clean clothes and apparently did not realize the danger of the proxi- mity of the gas flame. Without warning, the fumes burst into flames and caught on to the wall. In few minutes the small room was ablaze. Hoping to extinguish the fire, Mrs. Kriewenas fought frantically, but was forced to stop when her hands and arms were scared.
 An alarm from Box 6S, corner of Olive and Connerton streets. brought the fire department at TAO o'clock. The pantry was burning briskly but the fire had not had sufficient start to spread to the rest of the house. Chief Noble estimated the damage at several hundred dollars. The house is owned by Isadore Birn- baum.
