MUSIC EXCHANGE
HELD IMPRACTICAL
Free Flow of Copyrights
"LoveIy in Theory" Mills
Declares.

A free flow of copyright music be-
tween various countries is lovely" in
theory, but impractical in reality so
long as Italy, Germany and other
foreign countries enact restrictions
against foreign composers, E. c. Mills
general manager of the American So
ciety Of Composers, Authors and Pub
fishers, told the House Patents Com
mittee today.
He objected to the provision in the
Duffy bill amending the copyright act,
which would admit the United States
into the Berne Convention and In
ternational Copyright Union, and
described conditions in Europe, which,
he said, would prohibit reciprocity"
among copyright holders.
With a noticeable absence of Broad
way luminaries robbing the hearing
of some Of its previous glamour, Mills
was allowed to speak without interrupt
ton. Committee members who have
hitherto bickered among themselves
over some of the testimony Of the
witnesses, were quiet and the caucus
room was comparatively empty Of
spectators. .-..
The star witness tomorrow will be

wright and song writer.
The question whether the hearings,
which have brought testimony from
notables whom people ordinarily pay

ceedings had become Q show was

Your Income Tax

Deduction for Losses Other Than From
Sale or Exchange of Capital Assets.
Deduction for losses are divided into
four classes, and to be allowed must
follow closely the wording of the in
come tax law Losses are deductible
If incurred % in the taxpayers trade,
business, or profession; (2) in any
transaction entered into for profit;
90 from fires, storms, shipwreck or
other casualties, or from theft; and
a. from wagering transactions.
Business losses result, usually, from
the purchase and sale of merchandise.
Such losses usually are ascertained by
means of inventories, which are re-
quired whenever in the opinion of the
Commissioner of Internal Revenue
their use is necessary to determine
the income of any taxpayer.
Given Broad Meaning.
The term transaction entered into
for profit" means any kind of busi-
ness proposition. For example. tax
payer purchases an automobile to be
used solely for business purposes, and
which is sold at a loss. AS this is a
business proposition from start to fin
ish, the loss is deductible. But if he
had purchased the automobile to be
used for pleasure or convenience, the
deduction would not be allowed; it
was not transaction entered into for
profit.
A loss sustained in the theft of an
automobile purchased for pleasure or
convenience is deductible, as it falls
in class 3. If, because of faulty driv-
ing but not of "willful negligence"
an automobile maintained for pleasure
is damaged, the taxpayer may claim
the loss sustained, as it comes within
the meaning of the word casualty"
Where damages result from the faulty
the automobile of the taxpayer collides.
the loss ocoasioned the taxpayer like
wise is deductible.
Deduction Limited.
Losses from wagering transactions,
whether legal or illegal, are deductible
only to the extent of gains from such
transactions. The excess of such
losses over the gains is not deductible.
All losses are deductible only to the
extent to which they are not compen-
stated for by insurance or otherwise.
For official advice and help in your
income tax problems call at room 1902,

Constitution avenue, the Office of the
deputy collector of internal revenue,
where Government experts will help

turn, administer the oath, and the

LIBERTY LEAGUE RAPS
ATTACK ON HIGH COURT
Without Supreme Tribunal There
Is No Constitution, Its
Lawyers Assert.

BY the Associated Press.
Maintenance of judicial review Of
congressional acts was urged last
night by the American Liberty League
Lawyers Committee.
Assailing proposals-one of them by
the American Federation of Labor-to
deprive the Supreme Court of power
to declare laws unconstitutional, the
committee said:
THE members of this committee be-
lieve that without Supreme Court
for the final Interpretation of the Con-
stitution, there is no Constitution; that
RICHNESS or wrongness of the decision
is less important than its certainty;
that there is a rational and orderly
remedy for erroneous Interpretation,
but that there is no remedy for the
disorder and uncertainties which
would accompany the curtailment of
final review by the Supreme Court of

FARM POWER BILL
CUT ASKEDBY KING
Introduces Substitute Trim
ming Norris Program
to 100 Millions.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Before the compromise S42O, 900, 900
rural identification bill had taken a
half dozen steps on the Senate floor
today Senator King, Democrat, Of
Utah introduced substitute to trim
the 10-year program to $500 900 900.
The substitute came into direct con.
flict with the measure shaped by Sen
ator Norris, Republican, of Nebraska
and administration aides at a White
House conference yesterday. 1t pro-
posed a number of other drastic
changes in addition to the reduction
in expenditures.
Cut to $4,000, goo Annually.
Where the Norris bill would author
lie $5000o,00 year for the next two
years and s40,00O.00o year for the
next eight, the King bill proposed only
$10,000.000 year for 10 years.
1t would limit the duration of loans
Tor generating and distributing sys-
TENS to Is years. The Norris bill had
first proposed 40 years, but was
amended on the floor today to make
the limit rs.
Moreover. the King bill proposed to
limit to $10,000,000 the lending au-
thority of the present rural electrical
ton administration. set up by the
President, and transfer it entirely next
June 80 to the new administration.
Loans to Rural Sections.
Both bills provided for loans to rural
communities, co-operatives and limited
dividend corporations for furnishing
power to rural areas not now supplied
with power.
Already trimmed down in confer
ence from an initial billion dollar es-
innate, the Norris bill had not been
expected by its author to meet much
opposition.
However, Senator Vandenberg. Re-
publican, of Michigan, attacked
proposal to obtain the first two years
allotment from the Reconstruction
Finance Corp, rather than by direct
appropriation. Vandenberg. who says
Congress should control such allot-
ments,' called the proposal as more

|PATMAN APPROVES.
CHAIN STORE FIGHT.
Tells Independent Merchants
Failure Would Mean Their
Extinction.
BY the Associated Press.

Representative Patman, Democrat,
of Texas told 500 independent mer-
chants today that failure of their fight
against chain stores would mean their
extinction by monopolists.
The merchants, from many States,
massed in Constitution Hall, prepar-
atory to visiting their Congressman to
urge support of the Robinson Patman
bill, designed to prevent alleged price
discrimination in favor of chain stores.
You are the first victims of monop-
oly," Patman said. after you, the
farmer. Then the consumer and the
wage earner-and finally. the country
will be victim and the Nation will be
destroyed"
Preus Opens Meeting.
j. A. O. Preus, former Minnesota
Governor and counsel for the National
Retail Druggists Association. opened
the meeting with the assertion its
purpose was ito demonstrate the des-
perate plight of small business men in
every section of the country"
1.-THE issue which we raise here, not
by choice but through stark neces-
sity, is whether big business shall be
permitted to dominate and control the
distribution of the necessities of life
to the consumer in this country
through discriminatory business ad-
vantages," Preus said.
Patman, who was greeted with ris-
ing applause, said the independents
were not asking special privilege, but
equality-"the right Of fair oppor-
tunity to a livelihood in this great
country Of ours"
Warns Of Monopoly.
Warning of monopoly, he added:
IF any one group gets control Of
our retail business then will be
clamor for Government ownership.
Your fight is against Government own
ership, which will follow unless you
win this fight"
Specifically. the independents are
supporting legislation designed to pre-
vent manufacturers from giving larger
discounts to chain stores than to them
selves for comparable quantities of
goods.
Druggists also are interested in
resale price maintenance bills which
would permit manufacturers to fix
prices at which their goods must be
sold at retail.

Garner Fathers Tax Idea.
The fresh idea of tax on undis-
tributed corporation SURPRISES came
from a place you would least expect
under the hat of Vice President Gar
ner. 1t is an old hobby of his.
The case uppermost in his mind is
supposed to be that of Andrew Mel
Ions Aluminium Co. of America. In
fact, Mr.. Melons name was men,
toned specifically when the tax sub
ject was preached at that secret
White House tax powwow.
A corporation non is tared
heavily on undivided SURPRISES only
ii it is trying thus to apoid dim-
dend tares. The trouble las Mel
lon used to tell Garner is that the
Treasury can neuer prove the
avoidance. Consequently the tar is
a nullity.
The really good tax experts gen.
orally oppose taxes along this line.
They know it is necessary for corpo-
rations to have SURPRISES to meet lean
years. Such tax now, however,
might drive reserves out into expendi-
lures for plant Improvements, ETC.,
thus aiding the general business stu
alton.
Is Talmadge Slipping?
Those who know Georgia politics
best seem to agree that the self-made
Talmadge tornado Is running down.
Unless it is wound up again by some
unforeseen developments, the New
Deal will not even need an umbrella
for protection against it.
Indeed, the word is accredited on the
inside that Talmadge may resign as a
result of his latest State financial
plight. His purpose would be thereby
to generate new fury from the people.
