ODD TAX FIGHT
lN.U.S. COURT

The Supreme Court has before
it today the question Of whether
honesty Of conscience shall be
penalized under the income tax
law.
The novel question arose be-
cause Reuben H. Donnelly, after
he made q success in the publish
ing business in Chicago, decided
to pay in full earlier debts.
In 1905, Donnelly was partner
in a brokerage house which Sus-
tanned losses. His father-in-law,
Charles Thorne, advanced $500, 900
to settle creditors claims at from
26 cents to 100 cents on the
dollar.
Donnelly kept record Of the
debts settled for less than 100
per cent. When he became a
financial success he paid all the
creditors with intereSt-even
though they had no legal claiAa.
This was in 1927.
Then he claimed q deduction
of the amount, $273, ,544, from his
income tax return.
The board of tax appeals held
that since Donnelly was under
no legal obligation to pay. credi-
tors, the payments were merely
gifts and are not deductible.
SO Donnelly appealed to the
high court.

iTAKOMA VOTES.
SEPT. 5 ON
LIQUOR

Takoma Park residents win vote
September 5 on the question
whether or not the Commissioners
should make that area bone dry.
A canvass of the district by CWA
workers will determine the voting
list and o committee Of District
officials viii act as teuerS and
judges.
The idea Is Commissioner Al
lens, to whom Takoma Park dryS
appealed after the two other Com
miSsionerS had refused their plea
q. to make the neighborhood q
Sahara.
Allen Hints 1t Ballot
Mr.. Allen is known to have
made inquiries as to whether or
not there are men who can erect
a polling booth or two in Takoma,
and if there is any material that
can be used for this experiment
in self-rule under the District
government.
Takoma dryS invaded the Dis
trict Building while Commissioner
Allen was on his now famous
tramping tour Of the Middle West.
Commissioners Hazen and Got
walls concluded that the dryS were
in q majority in Takoma, but re-
fused to make the section dry,
although Congress gives them that
power.
Instead they gave it out in.
formally that they would instruct
the Alcoholic Beverage Control
Board to permit only beer sales
in Takoma; and the A. B. c. Board,
while waiting for formal orders,
let it be known that there is no
way by which a beer shop can be
restrained from selling wine.
Drys Dissatisfied
Takoma dryS are not satisfied,
and there have been several visits
from their SpokeSmen at the Dis
trict Building recently. These
delegations have now impressed
Commissioner Allen with their
views, which are that q majority
should rule.
Mr.. Allen said:
''When they talk about .
majority ruling, they are talk
ing right down my alley. / be-
lieve in Just that thing. I'm
wondering IL We cannot set up
. polling place out there and
have q real Outand-Out referen-
dunn on the subject"
That's where it stands today.
A decision is expected next week.
