Employers Taxed
Under the tentative regulations
each person who employs one or
more persons in commercial, mer-
camille or industrial pursuits must
make a report of all salaries,
wages, commissions, tips, bonuses,
fees and similar expenditures. The
law requires the employer to pay
l per cent of each payroll in 1886,
2 per cent in 1887 and 3 per cent
in 1888. The tentative regulations
place upon the employer the duty
of learning each week just how
much his employe collected in
tips and similar contributions and
compels the employer to pay the
tax on such amounts collected.
The regulations classify as en-
ployers all individuals who en-
ploy on or more persons for
hire, with the exception of the
Federal, District and foreign gov
ernments, householders or employ.

monthly or yearly basis, or
whether time is designated such
as in the case of tips and bonuses.
Included in the employe exemp-
tion class are persons on work re-
lief and golf caddies. Newsboys
are divided into three classes. The
newsboy who buys and sells his
own papers is not an employe, the

OPPOSE REPAIR
OF ARLINGTON
COURTHOUSE
Civic Groups Protest
$6O, 900 Cost While
Pupils jam Classes

ARLINGTON COURT HOUSE,
Va, Oct. 18.-Several hundred
citizens, representing virtually
every civic organization in the
county, appeared before the
county board here last night TO
protest the expenditure of $4,000
for improvements to the court
house until the present congested
condition in the public schools is
relieved.
Unless immediate action is
taken to relieve the condition, Ar
lington's high school will lose its
accredited rating with the South
ern Education Association, the
board was told by Mrs. Russell B.
Clapper, president of the Arling-
ton county council of Parent
Teachers Association.
Most DeplOrable"
Conditions at Westinghouse
High School this year were termed
by Fletcher Kemp. superintendent
of the county schools, as most
deplorable." He pointed out that
there we're not enough seats to
care for the present enrolment
and warned the board to expect
another substantial increase i'll
enrolment next fall in view Of
the present building boom.
Collection of taxes in excess Of
the estimated amount has given
the county's general fund a sur.
plus of nearly 100000 and 1t Is
from this fund that the n 'mbers
of the board had expected take
the money for the court mouse
improvement program.
Cost of a Junior high school,
which would relieve the present
condition at Washington-Lee and
at the same time permit the school
board to- divide its high school
into Junior and senior work, was
estimated at $l50,000.
Would Hold Fund Up
A joint resolution from civic
groups and the P..T.-A. Council
asked that this surplus either be
transferred to the school fund or
left unexpended so the incoming
board next January may have it
relieve the crowded condition Of
the schools.
Bigger and better jails or big
ger and better schools" was
adopted last night as the theme
song of those fighting for the
school. Doctors, lawyers, minis
ters and laymen, along with more
than a dozen women civic lead
ers, pleaded with the board mem
bers to hold the fund for the
inevitable school need.
Arthur Orr, president of the Ar
lington County Civic Federation
League and spokesman for the
Joint groups here last night, de-
| clared that unless the county gave
immediate relief to the schools it
would be necessary to build sew
eral additional jails.
Use Of Money Waits
The Rev. Clark w. Main, pastor
of the Arlington Methodist
Church, pointed out that Airing
tons citizens didn't have to go to
jail, but that it was necessary for
the children to attend school.
Disposition of the fund was
ordered held over by the board
after hearing arguments. While
some spoke in favor Of the cour1
house program, those lining up
with the school program far out
numbered them.

CAN SAVE
S56,0 100000 Eastman Aide
Says

Washington, D. G. (ILNS)-After
long Investigation, V. " Boatner, of
the staff of federal co-ordinator of
transportation, Joseph b. Eastman,
has reported that the railroads of
this country can save minimum of
$56,000,000 year by pooling their
freight and passenger terminal facil-
tiles.
He estimates that $10,0O0,000 could
be saved each year in Chicago alone.
From $7500,000 to $10,000,000 could
be saved in New York Detroit ter
minals offer chance to save $1,000
600 a year; Toledo S1,000,000; New
Orleans and Birmingham $750,000
each; and from this point the sums
vary downward until it is held that
$4,000 year could be saved by this
means in Phoenix, Arizona.
In giving the report to the public,
Mr.. Eastman said that the spade work
on investigation had been done, and
the time had come for direct accom-
plishment. He admitted that many
obstacles lie in the way.
Communities must be shown that
they have more to gain that lose from
anything that will improve the fnan-
cial and competitive health of the
railroads, and enable them to build
up traffic" hesaid.
"The legal rights and welfare of
railroad employees must be considered
and respected. The extent of these
difficulties, however, is certainly not
a reason for failure to grapple ag
gressively with them.'
