II there should be legislation. Con-
gress must either hold with the ma
iority of the court, that there Is no
justification for such action, or with
Mr. Lansdon. that such service Is
benefit and should be extended.
See Cost to Taxpayers.
Some Senators and members of the
House agree with the ma iority. taking
the view that for the Government TO
render such service as general thing
would involve a tremendous addition
to the number of Government employees.
They think 1t is up to the private inter-
ests to pay their own experts, of what
ever variety, instead of putting the eX-
pense on the entire body of taxpayers.
Others agree with Mr. Lansdon. hold
ing that this most useful function can
be performed only by the Government,
especially as 1t is virtually impossible
in many cases for any outsider, how
ever familiar with the law. to be sure

officials will decide In given case. If

The majority opinion OF the Board
of Tax Appeals more than confirmed
the valuation of the stock fixed by
Commissioner Roper In this case, but
stated that his act in fixing the value
was wholly gratuitous, neither pre-
scribed nor authorized by law. and
hence inferentially outside Of his off,
cIal duties.
The dissenting opinion of Mr.. Lans-
don held that Mr.. Roper was authorized
to render this service and that author
ization for his action Is to be found In

ANTI-CHRIST|AN
Bishop Denies Church in
Mexican Politics.
By United Press

By United Press
NEW YORK, April 14.-Denying
that the Catholic church has mixed
in politics in Mexico and that
priests are promoting revolution in
that country, Bishop Pascual Diaz
of Tabasco, Mexico, in an interview
Friday replied to statements made
by President Gales in a recent in
terview with j. w. T. Mason of the
London Daily Express.
Bishop Diaz, until his arrest and
p expulsion by the Mexican govern
ment last year, was the secretary of
the Mexican Catholic EpiScopate
and was regarded as the spokesman
of the EpiScopate in Mexico City
After leaving Mexico, he came to
New York via. Central America and
Panama, and has resided here since
then.
President Gales policy, which is
behind the mask of social advance
ment of the Mexican people," said
the bishop, lis the actual elimina-
ton of the Christian religion in
Mexico. His policy is not alone
anti-Catholic, but anti Christian.
His attempts by false propaganda to
influence the American people
against the Catholic church there
is part of his general scheme to
destroy the church"
