What's What
Behind News
in Capital
Politics Held the Answer
oEverything In Wash
ington Right Now. !.
BY PAUL MALLON.

YF THERE is anything you do moi
understand about Washington de.
velopments Of the day, just con-
i slider that this is q campaign
year. Mine times out Of ten that
will give you the right answer. Every
four years the primary problem OF
Government is the election, but this
year the problem is developing more
priority and primitivity than usual.
It is the motivating power which
animateS all.
You tDiu neper find more
evenly balanced example than the
inside events leading up to Presi-
dent Roosepelt's yes-and-no veto OF
the seed loan bill.
The White House spread the word
among congressional leaders several
days before that Mr.. Roosevelt was
going to crack down on such expeudt-
lures. Not only would he veto the
$50.000.000 idea, but he would use
the bill to promote the economizing
line upon which he has been quietly
working. It was a good opportunity
because even the congressional leaders
last year thought the seed-loan policy
was so bad that they promised 1t
would never happen again. It puts
the Government in the very un-
economical position Of handing seeds
to the farmers with one hand while
also paying him to curtail his produc-
ton with the other.

Your Income Tax
Denreciation Allowances.

DGQISCIoIlUu SAAUW0uCESs
The amount to be recovered by de-
probation is the cost of the property,
if acquired after February %. 1918.
If acquired by purchase prior to that
date, the basis is the cost of the prop
>rty, less depreciation sustained prior
to March /, 1918, or the value on
March l, 1918, whichever is greater.
The proper allowance for depreci-
alton is that amount which should be
set aside for the taxable year in ac-
cordance with reasonably consistent
plan (not necessarily uniform rate),
whereby the aggregate amount so set
aside, plus the salvage value, will at
the end of the useful life of the prop
erty equal the cost or other basis OF
| the property.
The depreciation rate Of building
is not based upon the number Of years
it will stard before being condemned
and razed, but on the number Of years
it will remain habitable or service
able for the purpose for which con-
structed.
If the taxpayer builds new build
| Ing, the period over Wnlcn QepreClatlon
may be claimed begins at the time
the building is completed and capable
of being used. Buildings under con-
struction are not subject to depre-
citation allowance.
| If it is clearly shown that, because
of economic or other conditions, prop
erty must be abandoned at a date
prior to the end of its normal useful
life, so that depreciation deductions
alone are insufficient to return the
cost or other basis, a reasonable de-
duction for obsolescence may be al
lowed in addition to depreciation.
No deduction for obsolescence is
permitted because, in the opinion Of
the taxpayer, the property may be-
come obsolete at some future date.

D. c. VOTING PLAN
WILDE. .SPEEDED
Virginia House Committee
Also Due to Act on
Boundary Bill.
BY LESTER N. INSKEEP,
Staf Correspondent Of The Star.

RICHMOND. February 28.-Rushed
for time, the House Committee on
Federal Relations and Resolutions this
afternoon will take up two measures
Of Importance to the District Of Co
lumbia and Northern Virginia.
The measures are the bill ratify-
ing the report of the District of Co
iumbia Boundary Line Commission
and the resolution memorializing Con-
gress to pass and submit to the
States for ratification the proposed
constitutional amendment giving ma
tional representation to the District
of Columbia.
Peery Submitted Bill.
It was necessary to have. Gov.
Peery submit the boundary line bill
directly to the Assembly, since the
deadline for the introduction Of gen.
eral legislation has been passed. The
resolution was offered before the dead
line was reached.
Patroned by Delegates william D.
Medley of Arlington County, Maurice
D. Rosenberg of Alexandria. and
John c. Mackan Of Fairfax County,
the boundary line bill was prepared
yesterday under the supervision Of
Former Senator Frank L. Ball, coun-
sci for Arlington County during the
boundary line hearings.
The bill, passage of which will be
sought Immediately, ratifies the boun-
dairy line between the District and
Virginia as set up in the commission
report, provides that 1t shall become
effective upon ratification by Con-
gress, and authorizes the Governor
through the proper State agencies to
cooperate with the Federal Govern
ment in making surveys and placing
permanent markers so the line will
be forever established.
Congressional Ratification Fought.
Congressional ratification Is being
fought by Federal authorities who
think Virginia was favored In the
report.
Patrons will seek immediate passage
of the bill, since after Tuesday the
House can consider only Senate bills
and House bills with Senate amend
ments.
Should officials of the National Cap
ital Park and Planning Commission
or other Federal agencies wish to be
heard this can be arranged on the
Senate side. patrons said.
The resolution memoralizing Con-
gress to provide the means for national
representation for the District Is In
a favorable position because the
patron, Delegate Ralph H. Daughton
of Norfolk, is also chairman of the
Federal Relations and Resolutions
Committee.

CRIME DECREASE
IN us. IS MARKED
Decline in Robberies in Past
Three Years Is Nearly
80 Per Cent.
BY REX COLLIER.

MAJOR crimes are on the decrease in
this country, according to an analysis
OF crime statistics made public today
by the Federal Bureau Of Investiga-
| ton.
The decline is marked during the
past three years for such offenses as
murder, robbery, assault, larceny and
automobile theft.
Reports from "a police departments
in cities whose aggregate population
represents nearly one-sixth of the
Nations population show that murders
have decreased from l,778 In 1898 to
LASS in 1885, assaults decreased from
12,104 to 10,765, burglaries from 87,846
to $4,000 and automobile thefts from
1927 to 62,406
The decline in robberies, the bureau
said, Is "heartening." In 1888 reports
were received Of 20,025 robberies, while
in 1885 a reduction of nearly 80 per
cent, to 14,248, was noted.
Larcenies in Lead.
Larceny predominates in the field of
law violation, the figures revealed, but
this type of crime also is growing less
popular In 1888 total of 1s1, 1925
larcenies was reported to the bureau,
whereas last year the total was 179, ,703.
A study of police statistics sub
mitted by 1923 cities with a total
population Of more than $1,000 900
persons disclosed total of 3,423 mur-
ders last year. 2.967 cases of man
slaughter, 37l.796 larcenies, 1881
burglaries, 121, ,045 automobile thefts,
37.967 robberies and 26,178 assaults.
A comparison of figures for urban
communities indicated that the crime
rate is considerably higher in cities of
more than 100 900 inhabitants.
OF all persons arrested by police last
year, 81 per cent were under Is. with
1s-year-olds leading all other age
groups.
An examination of 392,251 arrest
records for 1885 showed that 75.l71
were of persons under 81. Approx
mately 18 per cent were between 81
and "a. inclusive.
Serious charges most frequently
placed against persons under IS, the
bureau said, are larceny, burglary,
automobile theft, robbery and assault.
Many Murderers Young.
Persons under 81 committed nearly
II per cent of all the murders in this
country last year.
Recidivists, viz, persons who have
committed prior offenses, numbered
142, STA last year. In other words, that
number of persons arrested had pre-
vious fingerprint records on file at the
F. B. I. Identification Division here.
The bureau statisticians observed
that murders and assaults occur most
frequently in the hot Summer months,
while robberies and burglaries are
committed most frequently in the
Winter months.
