unity depend to an astounding degree
upon the ease of commercial and social
intercourse. Many States are failing
to recognize this simple truth.
The benefits from good roads come
from so many sources that 1t Is almost
impossible to comprehend them all.
For instance, Michigan soap COM

This figure was obtained by carefully
checking the operating costs Of cars

RECENT TAX RULING

Revenue Bureau Decision
Modifies Computation of An
nual Income Assessment.

A second tax decision favorable 10
the motorist in the computation Of his
annual income tax has just been an
nounced by the Bureau of Internal Rev
enue, according TO the legal department
OF the American Motorists Association
calling the same TO the attention Of
the motorists.
The general effect of the decision Is
that motorist may deduct from his
income the damages sustained when his
automobile participates IN a collision.
This deduction may be made irrespec-
tive as 10 whether the automobile was
being operated by himself or an agent
at the time OF the collision. and may be
taken although such damage resulted
from faulty driving. but not where it
resulted from willful act or negligence.
Basis Of Decision.
The decision was rendered in case
where an automobile was damaged while
IN unauthorized possession of the tax
payers chauffeur, who had taken the
car for his own use without the own
er's knowledge and against his orders
The automobile was overturned on an
icy roadway.
The Circuit Court Of Appeals. which
sustained the taxpayers contention
that he was entitled 10 the deduction.
held that IAN automobile used for re-
creation and convenience would seem
to be most closely analogous TO
pleasure yacht, and as Congress has
made damages due to the latter de-
ductible loss. the act should be con-
strued to show an intent to cover
wreck TO an automobile similarly
caused, inasmuch as such a construc-
ton can fairly and reasonably be given
thereto
The car. according to the facts. was
wrecked when IL skidded on an icy
street while being driven by, the
chauffeur. the court finding that while
It was attributable TO faulty" driving
it was not done willfully or in such :
way as to amount TO negligence.
Given Broad Application.
The decision closely follows FORM:

that its application is much broader.
the court holding in the latter case
that the deduction could be made even
though the driver was at fault. pro-
vided the fault was not tantamount
to. negligence.
1.-The two decisions taken together
mean that If taxpaying nlotorist ope-
rates his car for business or pleasure
and destroys IL. even though ne Is
guilty of faulty driving. he may deduct
from his next years income the dam
ages sustained" 1t is pointed out by
Thomas j. Keefe, general manager of
the association. THE difficulty Is
drawing the distinction between
faulty driving and negligence The
decisions, however. clarity the law in

the national committee on safety, of
which Col. Roosevelt is chairman.

From Buffalo 1t Is comparatively
short run of 26 miles to Niagara,

motorist also can cross to the Cana
