In" 3 Times As Much They
Did on Previous Returns

Of approximately $4,000 Wash
ingtonians who must pay income
tax on March Is, more than half
of them will have to pay three
times as much tax to the Gov
eminent as they did last year.
The increase is the result of
the return of the 1923 income tax
rates after a l per cent reduc.
ton on incomes of 1929 payable
in 1890.
The present rates on normal
income are IL per cent on the
first $4,000 as compared with only
one-half per cent last year. Those
having from $4,000 to $4,000. must
pay 3 per cent instead of 2, and
taxpayers above $4,000 must pay
per cent instead of 4.

Based on statistics for 1928, the
last complete year available, 32,O49
persons paid income tax in the
District.
OF this number, 1874 we're non

taxable was $197 ,439,8O5 while
they paid tax of S7,474,643.

GOES IN
EFFECT THIS
WEEK
Officials Not Yet Agreed Upon
Plan for Distribution Of
Tickets or Books for Pupils

An order to traction and bus
companies is being prepared by
the Public Utilities Commission
to make the new Scent car fare
for school pupils effective.
Starts This Week
HarIeigh II. Hartman, vice
chairman of the commission. said
today the new law will be put
into operation this week.
Maj. Gen. Mason M. Patrick,
chairman of the commission. is
out of the city but is expected
to return late today on his re-
turn preparation of the order to
the companies will be completed.
Five days have now passed
since President Hoover signed the
bill making the Scent fare, law.
Conference with traction and
bus companies have failed to
result in any agreement for ad-
mlnistering the law.
Officials Don't Agree
Officials have failed to agree
over a plan of distributing tickets
in books or in strips.
The commission. it is under
stood. plans to place the Scent
cash fare in effect pending an
arrangement over distribution of
the tickets.
DiSclaim Responsibility
Although claiming to be vitality
interested in the speedy settle
ment of the new three-cent fare,
school authorities today dis
claimed any responsibility for
the administration of the law.
The new law, which has beeB
placed in the hands OF the
Public Utilities Commission nv
the terms of the act, in no way
makes it incumbent on them to
suggest any plan to the Corn
mission for its administrators
according to Stephen E. Kramer,
ssh tant superintendent u
schools.
Their action in requesting that
the schools be free from handing
the funds accruing from the sale
of tickets resulted from a policy
of the school system. according
to Mr.. Kramer and not from
any indifference to the subject.
