What may I properly deduct from
my gross income. incident to my owner
ship of an automobile? This question
will soon confront each owner Of an
automobile in Washington. who must
file his income tax return with the
Federal Government not later than
March Is.
All automobile owners may deduct
from gross income the amount they
have paid for license fees. which In
the District Is ST. for plates, and which
in Maryland is 80 cents per horse
power. and in Virginia Is based on 70
c.nts per hundredwcieht gross tonnage.
They may also deduct under the
heading of taxes" the tax on gasoline,
which is 2 cents a gallon in the Dis
trict of Columbia. 2 cents in Maryland
and Az cents in Virginia. The aver
age gasoline tax is on 460 gallons per
year.
Under a decision Just announced by
the United States Board of Tax APP
pcais. motorist may also deduct for
damage done his motor car In an. accl-
dent. even though sustained when the
automobile was used by member OF
his family for pleasure. provided the
loss is not compensated for by insur-
ancc or otherwise.
Despite the fact that the motorist
indirectly pays an excise tax in the pur-
chase of his new car. ne cannot. how
ever, deduct in his tax return this B
per cent which he has paid The Gov
ernmcnts theory Is that the tax is paid
by the manufacturer and not by the
purchaser of the car The same was
true as to the Federal excise tax on
accessories. although the excise tax on
this item has been repealed by Con-
gross.
The cost of gasoline. ordinary repairs
and upkcep of an automobile. includ-

poses. deductible as an expense to the

Although the middle OF February has

toward the warm weather of Spring,
there is still time for radiators to freeze
and engine blocks to crack. provided the
anti-freeze mixture is not adequately

Most persons may not know that Feb

When the mercury begins TO seek the

a hydrometer test Of the solution in his
cooling system If he uses volatile
anti-freeze this precaution is especially
important, because alcohol. due TO its

the protective strength Of the solution
decreases very fast as mileage increases.

Automobile Owners Allowed to Deduct
Certain Upkeep Costs From Income Tax

A physician. lawyer or other pro-
fcssional man Is entitled to similar
deduction II the car Is used primarily
for professional purposes. If the<>ItO-
mobile Is used partly for business or
professional purposes and partly for
the pleasure or convenience of the tax
payer or his family, such cost may be
apportioncd according to the extent of
the use for purposes OF business and
pleasure or convenience and only the
proportion of such cost Justly attrib-
utablc to business or professional pur-
poses. Is deductible.
A salesman who maintains his own
car in order to perform his duties to
his employer and earn his salary. may
deduct as business expense" the
actual expenses satisfactorily shown to
have been incurred in the operation Of
the automobile for business purposes.
plus a proper allowance to cover de-
probation.
II business or professional man,
who uses his car for business or pro-
fessiOnal purposes. also uses it to drive
from his home to his office, this is
not considered business use. but
rather a matter of convenience. and
in apportioning the use of the car as
between business and pleasure uses. he
should not make any deduction for
operating costs incident to such use
Can taxpayer deduct as a necessary
expense Of the business, fines paid by
him for operating his automobile
tcither by himself or employee in vio-
lation Of the traffic or motor vehicle
laws?
The Internal Revenue Department
has answered that amounts paid for
violation of laws are not Ordinary
or necessary expenses" incurred in the
course of a business, and therefore, do
not constitute allowable deductions for
income tax purposes. Likewise. a fine
paid for violation while the car is being
driven for pleasure purposes is not a
deductble item.
If one borrows money for the pur-
pose of purchasing an automobile, the
interest paid on such obligation is prop
erly deductible from gross income in
determining net income. whether the
car is to be used for business or pro-
fessional purposes. or for pleasure.

SUPERCONFIDENCE

Special Dispatch to The star.

Special Dispatch to The star.
BALTIMORE, February ia study
of thousands Of accident reports and in
vestigations of highway disasters clear
ly brings to the front the fact that a
large majority Of the operators involved
| were superconfident as to their expert
ness In operating motor vehicles.
This Is the opinion of E. Austin
Baughman. commissioner Of motor We
hicles, who, in connection with the situ-
alton. says further:
Generally speaking. each operator
lays the entire blame for the occurrence
upon the other party involved. State
ments in accident reports frequently
| emphasize the fact that If the other
party to the disaster had conducted
himself in different manner nothing
would have happened.
This is especially true with regard
to accidents at intersecting highways, -
type of accident frequently resulting IN
death or serious injury.
IN comparing the reports OF both
operators 1t Is not uncommon to ma
each operator declaring that they slowed
down and had their vehicle under con-
troll while the other operator was COM
ing at a fast rate of speed
"Of course, sober reflection imme-
diately refutes these statements because
1t is readily apparent that If either OF
the two operators had actually slowed
down to a point where their vehicles
were absolutely under control no acci-
dent would have happened.
Truly it is a rare occurrence to find
an operator who does not consider him.
self an expert. and rs his driving ex-
perience accumulates apparently there
is further imitation of his self-confidence
until point Of suporconfldence Is reach
ed. and then comes the inevitable dis
aster.
Evidence Of cxpertness is not in
avoiding accidents by inches. but in
anticipating their possibilities and 50
operating that no emergency measures
are necessary"

SLIGHT CHANGE
SHOWN IN CITY
SCHOOL COSTS
Teachers Pay, Utilities and
Janitor Supplies on
Upward Range.

Cost per pupil for running the In
dianapolis public schools shows little
variation for the last three years.
according to a report just compiled
by A. F. Walsman, business direc-
or of the schools, which will be pub
lished Wednesday in "Our City
Schools" house organ Of the school
system. 70
There is a total increase of about
$1.45 for each pupil shown last year
over the two previous years, the re-
port indicates --.
Teachers salaries, janitor supplies,
fuel, electricity and gas are the
only items for all schools in which
the variation has been upward.
Variation Is Slight
Actual variation has been Slight
in school administration, instruction,
operation, maintenance and fixed
charges. oHu
The statistics were compiled
through dividing total costs of in
dividual items by the average daily
attendance in elementary schools,
in high school and in all schools.
A decrease is noted in administra-
tive costs, salaries of janitors and
engineers, water costs, and costs of
building and repair during 1928
over the same period for the two
previous years.
Range is Wide
A large range in actual costs in
various items at individual schools
is shown by the report. Janitor's
salaries in 1928 ranged from a
low average Of $304 at School IS to
a high average of $25.70 at School
II, an indication of the wide range
in all items.

those which efficient administration
of individual elementary schools
should cut to the average or below.
