George Shannon Joined Police Department
On St. Patrick's Day; Attributes
Notable Career to His Irish Luck

st. Patrick's Day is his lucky
day, opines George Shannon, re-
tired member of the Metropolitan
Police Department.
For it was on st. Patrick's Day,
March II, 1892, that he was
appointed to the department, and
he served 26 years with courage
and distinction before he was re-
tired.
1t took courage and nerve to
patrol the district assigned to him
as young officer-Louse Alley,
Willow Tree Alley, Armory Place
and other spots where thugs and
criminals had their hangout.
Many a tough battle he had
with the gangs Of those days, but
he always came out victorious, and
he made many notable captures.
The last nine years of his service
he spent in the First precinct, and
was assigned to guard banks and
large business houses, and in that
time he safely guarded millions of
dollars.
Since his retirement he and Mrs.
Shannon reside at BAIT Holmead
Pl. N. W., where last month they
celebrated their forty-third we'd
ding anniversary.

ate consideration Of the revenue bill
Of that year:
"Mr. President, the plan which
have suggested has been receiving from
time to time greater support. When the
thought was suggested by me to the
Finance Committee in 1917 it was what
may be called my hobby, and from day
to day in the Finance Committee I
kept, as one would say, pounding it in.
The other day when said was going
to propose it again to the Senate now
tax expert said to me that it was a
subject which required time to soak in.
Reserves Held Real Menace.
"That is what hope to accomplish
now, If nothing more-to present this
question In such way that it will soak
in, not only into the minds of the,
Senate and of the House of Representa-
tives, but it ought to. and in my hum
BILE judgment it will, soak into the
minds of the people of this country,
because the building up of corporations
by the retention of their net income
free from equal taxation is a menace
to the revenue of our country"
In this instance Senator Jones pro-
posed amendments to the tax legis-
lation which started with a 4 per cent
levy on "undistributed net income so
far as the same constitute not more
than 10 per cent of the total net in
come" From that point his proposed
rates graduated up to 28 per cent on
all undistributed net. which in turn
constituted at least 60 per cent of to-
tai net. Again, rejection, and so it
continued until the Senator's death in
Office in 1927.

COMMISSION WING
PLANS CONSIDERED

! of Civil Service.

Plans are under consideration for
construction of a fve-story wing in
The old Patent Office Building, Sew
enth and F streets. to meet the greatly
expanding needs of the Civil Service
Commission, which has been housed
there several years.
The wing, estimated to cost 100000.
would span the large center court, and
furnish about $1,000 square feet of
additional floor space. The commits
sion now occupies about $4,000 feet
outside of its central quarters, with
forces both in the Mather Building
and in Temporary F, wartime struc-
would be more economical than
renting.
Much of the space in the Patent
Office has been diverted from the
commission to the General Account
ing Office. which has Offices all over
the city, even Railways being used for
files.
The building project is only in the
conference stage now. At the same
time, consideration is being given to
some reconstruction work in the in
terror of the building. The installation
of new elevator on the F street side,
where the entrance is being changed
to allow the street to be widened
and repairs to other elevators are in
cluded in the items being discussed.

Americas best-known public official

Lawyer, live stock raiser and former
school teacher, Andrieus A. Jones en-
tered the United States Senate on the
strength of an election victory in 1916.
Named a member of the Senate Finance
Committee, he proposed to that group
in the following Spring a hobby"
among tax theories-namely, that cor
porate taxation might more fairly and
effectively be concentrated in single
levy on undistributed profits. Distrib-
uted profits, he pointed out, would be
taxed through individual income as
sessments.

'The rate on undistributed corporate

graduated and so fixed as to yield ap-
proximately the same revenue as
would be yielded If corporate profits
were distributed and taxed in the
hands Of stockholders"
Only the tendency Of the news
papers and the newer crop Of poll
ticians to refer to the Presidents
proposal as startling innovation"
is disturbing the pleasure OF Senator
