ROOSEVELT VETO
GIVEN TWO BILLS
Tax Claim Rejected as "Spe-
cial Treatment'-Postal
Grants Hit.

BY the Associated Press.
Two bills. one involving tax claim
and the other postal privilege, were
returned to Congress today with Presi-
dent Roosevelts veto.
The President disapproved the
Tydings bill authorizing payment OF
$50. .2O8 to the Sanford g. Brooks Co.
of Maryland, which would have sat-
isfied q claim for refund Of income
taxes collected for 1920 on money
the company received from the Gov
eminent for losses sustained in dredg-
ing the Delaware River. The COM
pany contended 1t did not derive
net profit from the transaction.
In a brief veto message, Mr.. Roose-
welt expressed opposition to special
treatment" for a particular tax
payer" saying that to accord such
treatment would be to discriminate
against the whole body of Federal tax
payers.
Vetoing q bill permitting religious
periodicals that publish local informa-
ton to be included as second-class
mail matter, the President said the
present excess cost of 100000 a
year for handling second-class mail
would be materially increased" un-
der the proposed legislation.
He noted that general church and
religious publications already have the
right of second-class rating and added
that any exception would constitute
a precedent under which other social
organizations and associations. such
as clubs, chambers Of commerce, char
liable organizations and many others,
would no doubt request legislation
conferring upon them similar bene-
hts"

Right to Construct Plants
With Federal Funds.

DENVER, August 21.-The United
States Circuit Court of Appeals ruled
yesterday municipality has the right
to construct a municipal electric
power plant with funds borrowed from
the Federal Government under the
P. w. A. program.
Attorneys here said the courts de.
cision will affect billions Of dollars
worth of projects now under construc-
ton in connection with the P. w. A.
set-up.
The ruling was on the application
Of the Kansas Gas & Electric Co. of
Kansas City for an injunction to pre-
vent the city Of independence, Kans..
building a city-owned electric power
plant with Federal money.
The case was heard by Circuit
Judges Orie L. Phillips and Robert
Lewis of Denver and George T. Nc
Dermott, Topeka, Kans.
Discussing power of Congress to
make the loans and grants, Judge
Phillips said: Congress must be ac-
corded wide discretion. There was
general unemployment. Millions were
dependent upon private charity and
public relief for food and shelter. The
situation was national. Two of the
declared objects of the act were to
'rehabilitate industry and to reduce

sorb industrial unemployed, Alexan-
