Car License.Fee
and Gas Tax Are
Held Tax Factor

WASHINGTON, Jan. 81. (UP)
The international Revenue bur-
eau held that automobile license
fees are ordinarily taxes and are,
therefore, deductible from gross
income reported on income tax re-
turns.
The bureau also handed down a
detailed. ruling on the deduction
| for tax on motor gasoline.
BUSINESS GAS
'Where the gasoline purchased
is used for business purposes the
tax may be added to the cost Of
the gasoline and deducted as a
business, expense; but where that
is done, the gasoline tax cannot
be deducted separately under the
item of taxes" the bureau said.
If an automobile is used for
both business and pleasure, all Of
the maintenance and operating
expenses connected thereW,i t h
which constitute allowable deduc-
tions for Federal income tax pur-
poses, should be allocated to the
two, uses on the basis of the time
that it is used for each. r
For. example, if the total ex-
pense of operation and mainten-
ance, plus depreciation, for the
taxable year amounted to $500,
and the car was used three-fourths
! of the time for business and the
balance for pleasure, the allow
able deduction for Federal income
tax purposes would be 5000.
GAS TAX DEDUCTION
The bureau held that individual
deductions for taxes paid on gaso-
line applied as follows:
eff law which imposes a tax
on gasoline shows that the tax is
imposed on the consumer and not
on the dealer, the consumer may
deduct as a tax, for, Federal in

what will Mr.. Breadon do about

You might say to yourself that

cause it might be reflection on
Mr.. BrcadoR's books, and the next

: RALEIGH, Jan. ,31.-lf the
North Carolina General Assembly
persists in biennially increasing
: the tax burden on railroads., the
government ownership of rail-
roads will inevitably result, thus
eliminating one Of the states larg-
est sources of tax income, the
Joint senate. and house finance
committee was featured in the
testimony the past week, g. yen by
w. L. Stanley, representing the
receivers of the Seaboard Air
Line. * - :u. =.
Representatives of all the rail
roads operating in North Carolina
appeared: before the committee
and painted about the same pic
ture, predicting that unless North
Carolina gives them some tax re-
lief all the railroads now solvent
will be insolvent before the end
of 1888. They pointed out that
the railroads paid to the state
$13,750 daily last year, and chal-
| lenged the committee to find any
other industry contributing that
much to the states upkeep.
Spokesman for the railroads
painted a dark picture for the rail
carriers. The general trend Of
the depression, together with COM
petition from highway carriers,
have, made their struggle a hard
one, they said. If the bus and
truck owners cannot stand any in
4 crease, certainly the railroads,
many Of which are not even able
to pay their back taxes, can stand
no further increase, they contend
ed, the proposed increase in
franchise and other taxes would
result in the utter collapse Of the
railroad SYSTEM, the spokesman
agreed - ..-
| Pointing out that the Sea-
boards operating revenue had de-
creased from nearly S12,000,000
in 1929 to less, than a million dol
lars in 1882. Mt. Stanley said that
the company's franchise taxes paid
to North Carolina had jumped
from SCI, SAB in 1928 to $780,
l708 in 1882, and declared that if
the present legislature didn't re-
lieve the railroads, none of the
now solvent railroads would be in
that condition very long.
! Other spokesman Of the. indus
try were equally foreboding, of
| fering the committee masses OF
| figures showing how their COM
lpanies had been suffering from
drastically reduced revenues and
alarmingfy increasing taxes. They
were all insistent that for the
states own good it would have to
reduce the railroads taxes. and
place the burden elsewhere. : =.
".The onlv way we can pay the
| present high taxes" declared Col
! w. B. Rodman. general counsel for
receivers Of the Norfolk and
Southern Railway "is to borrow it
from the Reconstruction Finance
Corporation, and / am doubtful
whether we can do that or not"
! Among other railway represen-
tatives. appearing before t h c
committee were; W.. Y. Joyner,
assistant, solicitor general of the
| Southern railway; Thomas w,
Davis, solicitor general of the At.
lantic Coast Line; James J. Nc.

Reorganization Of Circuits
Throughout Country Promise
Successful Year

New York. April 6.-ReMino1
league baseball appears to be going
through q definite revival this spring.
Efforts have been made all through
the country, with the backing Of the
major leagues, to bring back the min
ors. In the middle Atlantic states
and in the south especially the situa-
ton Is very hopeful.
The New York-Pennsylvania League
and the Mid-Atlantic circuit have
blossomed out as faster circuits and
with the breakup of the Central
league the Mid-Atlantic has found
itself with more prospective members
than it can handle.
The New York-Penn League boosted
its classification from B to A in order
to give its fans q better brand OF
baseball and shifted one franchise
from Hazleton to Reading, q former
international league city.
Down in the south the Piedmont
league also has improved its standing
q bit with the admission Of Richmond.
A new Dixie league also was formed.
The big chance In southwestern
baseball was made some months ago
when the Texas League took over
Oklahoma City and Tulsa, Okla,
from the western league, q move
which undoubtedly gave the Texas
circuit strong lineup. Despite this
loss and Omaha's franchise difficult
ties. President Dale Gear has an
nounced the western league positively
will operate" this year.
