UTILITY EYES
ON new RIVER
POWER TRIAL
Newton D. Baker Helps in
Battle Against u. S.
Regulation.
BY RUTH FINNEY
Times STAFF Writer

ALEXANDER. Va, Jan. 24.-Rep-
resentatives of many of the largest
utility groups in the country are
gathered in this little Virginia town
to watch a battle which may go
down in legal annals as the most
important in the history of govern
ment regulation.
Newton D. Baker. representing
the Appalachian Electric Power Com
pany, today will attack the con-
Stitutionality of the federal water
power act he once helped admin
lister as secretary of war, arguing
that his company should be allowed
to erect a power project on New
river, free of all federal regulation.
Legal Barrier Erected
Huston Thompson, special coun-
sci for the government, spent Mon
day building a legal barrier against
this attack.
Legislation of this type had been
before congress twenty years be-
fore it was enacted" he said. II
question whether any other measure
had been discussed so thoroughly.
Congress unquestionably has a
right to build up power dam in
this river itself, and so it certainly
has right to delegate that power.
If it can delegate the power it can
supervise the method of exercising
that power, and, therefore, the
method of building and financing
the dam"
Mr.. Thompson cited past financial
transactions of the Appalachian COM
pany as reported by the federal
trade commission, to sustain his
contention that the power commits
sion acted reasonably in insisting
on regulating the new river project.
Protection for Public
eff company reports a total book
value of $72,821 ,455.2O on one day,
and, on the next, a book value of
$139, 039 ,848, an increase overnight
of $6,6418, 1872, is it not a reasonable
requirement that some agency of the
public see to the capitalization of
this project?" Thompson said.
"Once you decide the government
has the right to recaptL- a project,
the government has also the right to
fix the terms Of recapure. If COM
pany puts figures like these on its
books, hasn't the government a
right to come in and protect itself
and the public until some state takes
over the taSk?"l

Frees Man Who Drew Gun
in Relief SquabbIe.

Municipal Judge William H.
Sheaffer today withheld judgment
in case of Charles Tyre, 2743 North
Olney street, charged with drawing
deadly weapons in connection with
fight Saturday with two men over
allotment Of food by the township
trustee.
Tyre, whose wife is an investi-
gator in Office of Miss Hannah
Noone Center township trustee, is
alleged to have threatened with a
gun Jesse M. Green, Al, of 2138
Eastern avenue, and Marion Green,
SO, brother, of 1865 Parker avenue.
The two were said to have come to
his home to ask Mrs. Tyre why re-
lief could not be obtained for Jesse
Green.
The argument is said to have
started when Mrs. Tyre told Jesse
Green, father of three children,
that supplies are not allotted to
persons driving autos. Tyre inter-
coded in his wife's behalf. Jesse
Green was driving an auto, police
said they learned.

Busch Gave Favorite Print
to Thousands of
His Patrons.
BY JOSEPH MITCHELL,
Times staff Writer

NEW YORK, Jan. 16.-Nine years
before prohibition there hung in
the fly-specked front window or
over the frosted bar mirror of al
most every gin mill and saloon in
the United States an admirable
Autograph showing the hearty,
tragic General George Armstrong
Custer and his 264 center column
riders engaging in their last brave
fight with the Indians.
A generation of honest, beer
drinking citizens remember this
Autograph. In their recollection,
the highly colored picture stands
out as symbol of the more enjoy
able days when dark, ceremonial
book rose up in the April schooner
and made thorough collar and
when barkeeps took an honest pride
in their products.
The Autograph, briefly, is a SYM
Dol of their drinking youth, a
mnemonic prod to their memories
of the days when plugged lager and
kitchen sink gin were unknown.
Last week a conscientious repre-
sentative of the New York World
Telegram looked over the walls of
l29 of Manhattan's best speakeasies
and cider-stubes without finding a
single Custer Autograph.
He made a futile search through
the papers of the prosperous bar
manufacturing concerns on the up
per BoWery.
He found many copies of THE
Old Drunkard," the celebrated pho
tograph of a marketman standing

WASHINGTON. Jan. 24.-If you
are a married man and you paid
income taxes to Uncle Sam last
year. get ready to pay perhaps sew
eral times as much tax on the same
amount of income under the new
law on which you must make your
return by March IS.
And if you are one of many who
took salary reductions in 1892, you
may pay still more tax, though your
income is smaller. Moreover, many
married men who paid no tax at all
in 1882 must pay in 1888.
The married persons exemption
has been reduced from $500 to
S2,5O0 His tax rate has been in
creased from IL per cent on the
first $4,000 above exemption, 3 per
cent on the next $4,000 and per
cent on tie remainder, to t per cent
on the first $4,000 and per cent
on the rest.

INCOME TAX TO
HIT HARD EVEN
IF PAY is CUT
Married Man Discovers His
Exemption Is SIaShed
and Rates Boosted.

This Is the second of six articles de-
failing the new federal income tax regu-
lations that upwards Of three million
more citizens must meet before March ;.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1933-01-24

Or, take the case of John Smith,
a married man with two children
uuder 10 years Of age and net in
come of $4,000 a year.
S7.S8 Tax Now $6S
Last year Smith got an exemption
of $500 as a married man, plus
S400 each for his two children, or a
total of $4,000 exemption. On the
remaining $700 income he paid a
tax Of IL per cent, less 25 per cent
credit for earned income" or $788.
This year Smith gets an exemp-
ton Of only $500, plus the $500 for
his two children, or $1,000 On the
remaining $1,700 income he will be
taxed a per cenJ, receive no allow
anCe for earned income" and
therefore will pay tax of $68.
If, in 1882, Smiths salary was cut
20 per cent. reducing his annual in
come to $4,000 on his reduced
amount, and under the same setup,
he will pay tax of $23.
Loses Even on Baby
Suppose a new baby had arrived
at Smiths home during the last
year Under the old law he would
have got another $500 credit if the
baby had been born by Dec. 81. IN
der the new law the period of the
dependency must be prorated;
meaning that if the baby was born
June 30 Smith can only get credit
for half of the year, or 5000.
Let's take the cases of some mar
ried men with bigger incomes to see
how the new taxes work in the
higher brackets, where the surtaXes
begin to be felt. Again, we will use

On incomes up to $4,000 a year,
as has already been shown, the tax
may increase many times. Above
$4,000, the increase is only about
twice. The million dollar year

than doubled, will pay $57l,OOO
