BUILDING SURETY BOND
PREMIUM RULING MADE
McCarl Holds Contractor Cannot
Collect Such Sums in Early
Stages of Construction.

The cost Of q premium on a surety
bond cannot be included as something
to be paid for by the Government in
the early stages of construction work
on Government building, it has been
ruled by Controller General McCarl,
who held, however, that this would not
AFFECT the total payment to be received
by a building contractor doing work
for the Government.
The decision was rendered to the
Consolidated Engineering Co., which Is
building the new Department of Com
merce Building. This company asks
the Government to include in the early
part payments, which are made regu-
larly by the Government, a payment of
$237. 1880, as a premium paid to a
surety to secure performance of the
building contract.
The McCarl decision, which held
that this sum could not now be paid
to the contractors in full, was inter-
preted In all quarters, however, as a
bookkeeping decision" which will In
no way affect the total amount which
the contractor will receive for putting
up the building, $13,567,0o0. McCarl
said that the cost was necessary ex-
penditure by the contractors, but I'M
der the law he could not be reimbursed
for all Of it now.

DECREASE IN TAX
REFUNDS EXPECTED
Settlement of Revenue
Claims Before 1922 Prom
ises Big Cut.

A big decrease in the annual appro-
priations necessary for tax refunds is
ANTICIPATED as a result of the settlement
Of cases originating before 1922, ac-
cording to the report ofA joint congress
sionai committee on internal revenue
taxation.
The committee points to an average
rate Of settlement of S15.224,270 a
month for the seven months between
June and December 81, 1928. and
says that ~ per cent of these refunds
were due 10 provisions of law which
have not been applicable since 1922.
Tax refund claims aggregating 81. =
900 100000 are still on file with the Blu
reau OF Internal Revenue
Reduction Hoped For.
Eighty-nine per cent of the refunds
and credits reported to the committee
which passes upon those above SIS, 600
were for the years preceding 1922, and
1t pointed 20 this a. Offering the hope
that with the final :,ttlement of excess
profits tax years, the annual amount
required for the payment of taxes err
roneously collected will be very Substan-
TALLY reduced"
The three provisions which the COM
mittee said accounted for AZ per cent OF
the refunds were taxes on invested cap
ltal. special assessments and amortiza-
ton. These have not been IN force
since 1921.
SimplifcatiOn Needed.
The report said The most trouble
some provisions in our present revenue
act are those necessitating the valuation
OF estates: the consolida ton Of returns
for ahfliated companies: the determine
ton Of depreciation, obsoleScence and
depletion; the valuation of inventories
and valuations for determining gain
and loss"
1T is evident" it continued. that
the future simplification of the income
tax law must OF necessity rest largely
on more simple and definite method
Of determining valuations and other
questions of judgment"
The report reviewed at length numer-
Gus settlements. including the S15.752.-
600 United States Steel refund, and the
81 1887 600 Aluminium Co. of America
settlement.
L. H. Parker. chief OF the bureau of
investigation of the committee. said the
method of determining the amount of
invested capital which was involved in
the United States Steel case not only
affected the taxes of that company for
the years 1918 to 1920. but would arise
in other important cases for the tax
years involving invested capital returns.

provided for In the settlement and Con-
greSs has authorized the poStponement

1T was in the best interest of France
to approve the general debt settlement
and 1t will be help to her and the
whole world" said Senator Smoot of
Utah, chairman of the Senate finance
committee.
Although he opposed the other debt
settlements between this country and
her allies, Chairman Borah of the Sem

pressed the view that congressional APP
prevail would be given the agreement.
Last Pact Made.
France has waited three years to
ratify the settlement worked out by the
American Debt Commission headed by
