L BILLION VETERAN
AID SEEN BY 1910
Bureau Has Already Spent
5000, 900, 600, Gen. Hines
Says in Forum Talk.

Declaring that already the Veterans
Bureau had spent more than $5,ooo,-
100000 in discharging the Nations
obligation to its soldiers, Director Frank
T. Hines of the United States Veterans
Bureau last night predicted that under
present laws this cost by 1910 would
total approximately $11, 600, 000, 900, in
an address in the National Radio
Forum. Gen. Hines continued that in
little more than another decade this
figure would probably equal the original
cost of the World War to the United
States up to April, 1919, which was
$21, $50, 000,0 900.

relief or tending to do away with the

nection Of their disabilities will un-
doubtedly apply to large percentage

UTILITIES BODY
OFFERS TAXI LAW
Transmits Proposal Which Would
Require Applicant to Show
Necessity for Service.

The Public Utilities Commission to-
day transmitted to the Senate District
committee a proposed law under which
new applications for taxicab service in
Washington would have to obtain from
the commission certificates showing
that public convenience and necessity
require their operation.
Under the measure, these certificates
would be issued for all vehicles actually
in operation on May of this year, pro-
vided they had complied with all regu-
lationS of the commission. In the case
of future applications for new service
filed after that date, the commission
would determine whether a certificate
Of public convenience and necessity
should be issued.
The commission suggested this pro-
posal as an amendment to a bill al
ready pending in Congress under which
the commission would be given power to
regulate taxicab rates and also to re-
quire operators of cabs to show financial
responsibility.
A certificate of convenience and
necessity would furnish a means of de-
termining the number of cabs that
should be operated in the city.

Government Owes
BOrah $l2,5OO on
His Back Salary
Idaho Senator Never Has
Collected Annual In
crease Due Him.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
It was disclosed today that Senator
Borah of Idaho never has drawn the
increase of $4,000 a year in salary au-
thorized for members of Congress five
years ago.
This came to light today during dis
cussion Of whether a law prohibiting
members of Congress from holding an
office for which they have voted an
increase in salary would make the
Idahoan ineligible for appointment to
the Supreme Court bench as successor
to the late Edward T. Sanford.
Borah has voted against all recent
salary increase bills and is certain, as
are his friends, that he voted against
the measure increasing Supreme Court
salaries. He, however, does not recall
the vote and there was no recorded bal
lot on the bill.
But there are other reasons than
that why I am ineligible" the Idahoan
said today. He only smiled when asked
to amplify.
AS result of refusing to accept the
congressional salary increase from
$500 to $4,000 a year. Borah has
$12,500 to his credit in the Treasury.
He may draw it any time, but If he
does not it will stay there. There have
been previous cases of members refus-
ing to accept increases, one being Henry
st. George Tucker of Virginia, now
member of the House.
tucker refused to accept the in
crease for one year, saying he had been
elected to an Office paying $500 and
had no right to vote himself a higher
salary. He insisted at the time the bill
was passed that the increase should not
20 into effect until after the next
election.

GARNER HITS TAX
REFUND METHOD
Holds Decision Should Be
Made by CourtS-Attacks
Chairman HaWIey.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Announcement today of approval of
a tax refund Of $33,555,356 to the
United States Steel Corporation,
brought a sharp attack in the House
on present methods Of tax refunding by
Representative Garner Of Texas, the
Democratic leader.
The Texan said the refunds should
be decided by the courts and not by the
Internal Revenue Bureau and a joint
congressional COMMITTEES as under the
present system. He charged that the
joint committee had not given proper
consideration to the report on the steel
case.
AsSaiIs Chairman HawIey.
He said that so little consideration
had been given the matter that most
of the Republican members did not
attend the meetings, and. assailed
Chairman Hawley of the Joint commit
tee, maintaining that he only called
it together when he felt it necessary to
prevent unfavorable public sentiment
and comment"
Garner suggested that a special at
torney be named to look into the mat
ter of refunds and said he did not
want the people to become suspicious
of these continued refunds to great
corporations"
He added that tax refunds to the
Steel Corporation had amounted to al
most $l00,000,000.
The refunds announced today were
for the tax years of 1918, 1919 and
1920. Secretary Mellon said that as a
result, the Steel Corporations suit
against the Government for tax re-
fund of $4,000, 900 would be dropped,
as would the Government counter
claim against the corporation for
$77OO0,O 900 of additional tax payments.
Controversy at a Close.
Chairman Hawley announced the re-
fund, an action that brings to close the
LONG controversy which has been carried
on between the corporation and the
Treasury Department on overasSeSsmentS
claimed for three years. Hawley said
the refund probably would be formally
executed not later than tomorrow and
would either be paid to the company IN
cash or in the form Of q credit on its
taxes for other years.
Suit to Be Dropped.
secretary MCllUkly All OOkA4h AAAAAS WAC
announcement, said arrangements had
been approved whereby the Steel Cor
porations law suit against the Govern
ment for the recovery of approximately
$3.50, ZOO, 00G as a tax refund for the
years in question will be dismissed, as
will be the Governments counter claim
against the corporation for $77,000,000
of additional payment.
It was said at the Treasury Depart
ment today that Secetary Mellon has
arranged for the Steel Corporation to
accept the refund in the form of a
cash payment and credit against its
1929 income tax payment.
Thus, it was understood, the corpora
ton viii probably make no payment in
1890, since it was estimated its tax
would amount to approximately ST.
100000, while instead of paying a tax
this year the corporation would receive
from the Government approximately
$16,500,000. This would virtually equal
the refund sum.

LONDON, March 14.-The govern
ment Of ]. Ramsay Macdonald, victor
in one fight with its opposition, today
looked forward to an impending and
more dangerous tilt q week from now.
when the coal mines controversy Is re-
sumed.
The Conservative motion Of censure,
blaming the government for the gen.
eral depression, failed to pass the House
of Commons last night after a lengthy
debate by vote of 308 to 235, ma
jority of 70 for the government.
Baldwin Predicts Victory.
In opening the debate, Stanley Bald
win. Conservative leader, predicted that
the government probably would win,
and about rs Conservative members abb
sented themselves from the House Just
before the division was taken.
Sir Herbert Samuel, speaking for the
Liberals. in an opening address an
nounced his party would support the
government, but he predicted that I'M
emnioyment would wash away" the
inclusion of the safeguarding. or pro-
tective tariff issue, in the Conservative
motion of censure alienated Liberal
support.
Mr.. Macdonald himself was not pres
ent at the debate and was said to De
in no wise perturbed in expectation OF
a defeat, since a tacit truce seems TO
have prevailed until after the Naval
Conference shall have been concluded,
when the Labor prime minister almost
certainly will have to fight to maintain
his government.
Snowden Flags Opposition.
Philip Snowden, chancellor OF the
exchequer, laid a large part OF the
blame for unemployment directly al
the door of the opposition and declared
that there was deliberate conspiracy
to discredit the government, an example
of which was to be found IN almost
daily circulation of stories about rae
tory closings.
He said that there would be nc
further applications of safeguarding
and that existing duties would expire
at the appointed day.
