Cliff Bolton, the Griffmen's
supposedly ailing catcher, has yet
to test his arm since the opening
of the training camp.
"I'll let Early ano these young
fellows" Cliff said today, "cut
lose with their arms. I'm not
risking a sore arm, and will
continue to take it slow until
10 days or so have passed"
Bolton has never looked better
in any spring training drill. The
little catcher seems stronger than
ever despite the fact he complains
of myriad maladys, mostly which
must be imaginary. He is hitting
the ball cleaner than ever and you
can't find any member of the
Griffmen who is driving the ball
further and more often.

special joint committee will meet
next on Tuesday morning.
Undersecretary OF Treasury Roswell
Magill describes this device as both
artificial and amusing" He explains
its working as follows:
AN insurance agent forms a for
eign insurance company with only
nominal assets. He persuades a few
men to buy policies for $1,000,00 or
more on single premium basis.
These premiums are not actually paid
because the insurance company is not
q real insurance company. The fiction
Of payment OF the premiums Is ac-
complished IN this way. The taxpay-
ers give checks to the insurance COM
pany for the amount OF the single
premium.
Immediately the insurance COM
pany gives them back checks for the
amount Of the surrender value which
is nearly the same as the premium
This Is done under the guise of a
loan. Since it Is dressed up as a loan,
the taxpayer claims in his return that
he Is paying interest on 1t. That in
terest he deducts on his income tax
return. and thereby greatly reduces
his net taxable income"
In one case, Magill said, an indi-
vidual made tax saving OF $4,000
in return for an expenditure OF about
$4,000.

Ia SoAA4N " nLINnxs
Possibility of expediting appeals and
litigation involving Federal tax obliga-
tlons was being studied over the
week end by participants in the con-
gressional inquiry into practices Of
tax avoidance and evasion, it was
learned yesterday.
A speeding up Of these processes is
much-needed corollary to legisla-
ton blocking loopholes in the revenue
laws, 1t Is contended by some who cite
the backlog Of tax cases always pend
ing before the Board OF Tax Appeals
and the Federal courts.
For instance, on June 80, 1895, the
end Of the latest complete fiscal year,
there were lO,102 cases pending be-
fore the Board OF Tax Appeals. On
the same date there were 5,24l civil
sax cases pending in the various
courts.
Reduces Collections.
While the boards backlog OF cases
has shown gradual decrease during
the past few years. the same trend
has not been evident in the court
tabulation where the total Of last
June 80 was nearly 1000 cases more
than were on dockets of June 30,
1895.
Many Of the cases thus in a state
OF suspense involve obligations OF sew
eral years with consequent difficulty

one OF the most fagrant cases cited
by the Treasury Department to the

Illexality Has Been Upheld.
The case in illustration is that Of

November, 1888. and assigned Amer

Disappointing tar returns last

that much revenue had been lost
through use of certain deuices for
evasion or avoidance of tar obliQa-

Py the Associated Press.
GENEVA, June 19.-United States
delegates to the International Labor
Conference today supported proposals
for 40-hour work-week in the textile
industry Of all nations.
A. Ford Hinrichs, chief economist
Of the Bureau OF Labor Statistics, said
the United States had tried the plan
four years and found 1t good A vote
against the proposal, he asserted,
would deny hope of improvement for
100000 textile workers.
Robert R. West, director Of the

the law required it, but since the law
was invalidated they have continued

liability, but no personal income tax,
which would have been considerably
larger.
The probability OF an eventual court
decision against this device springs
from the fact that the Supreme Court
has held in two instances, those Of
Lucas VS.. Earl and Burnet vs.. Len
ninger, that a taxpayer may not be
relieved Of liability for income tax
on salary or other income by as
signing it to somebody else. In ef-
feet, the court has held that there
is moment Of time, however brief,
when the income belongs to the as
signor before being passed on to the
assignee.
The long delays sure to crop up in
establishing illegality in the particu-
lar circumstances of the case cited,
encourage the effort, however, and
the ultimate result probably will be
loss OF revenue to the Government.
Easy Remedy Seen.
One legislative correction that
would effect such a case as that re-
ferred TO above, and which already is
being commented on favorably by
members of the joint committee Is
an increase in the so-called with
holding tax rate. Applicable to in
come received from this country by
nonresident individuals and foreign
corporations, this levy at present is
fat 10 per cent Of the income.
BY contrast. in such an extreme
case as that of IS 900 900 income, the
surtax rate which would be imposed
upon a resident individual is rs per
cent. The tax difference IN this ex-
aggerated illustration is that between
levy OF $500,000 and one Of $780,

By the Associated Press.

GOSHEN, N. Y, June 19.-l,epre-
sentative Fish. Republican, of New
York before the Orange County Re-
publican Committee today renewed
his demand that the congressional
committee studying tax lodging
look into President Roosevelt's income
tax returns.
Il believe this investigation should
not be restricted to just a few indi-
viduaS selected by the administra-
tion," Fish said, but in all fairness
should likewise include the President
and certain members OF the cabinet"
Lists Suggestions.
He said these suggestions" would
be given the investigating commit
tee.
Examine income tax returns of
President Roosevelt for deductions for
farm losses and depreciation on Hyde
Park and his Georgia cotton planta-
ton
Alleged payment of rental on
Hyde Park property to Mrs. James
Roosevelt by the Federal Govern
ment for maintenance during occupa-
fion by the President as a Summer

Alleged avoidance of income tax
payments by Mrs. Franklin D. Roose-
welt for charity. The law provides
that payment OF taxes cannot be
evaded by payment to third persons
and permits deductions from in
come for charity up to Is per cent
OF income but does not allow entire
sums paid for services (broadcasts,
syndlcated articles, etcD to be con-
tributed to charity without payment
OF taxes"
Includes Members Of Family.
Fish, who represents President
Roosevelt's home congressional dis
trict, also advocated examination Of
the income tax returns of James
Roosevelt, Mrs. Anna R. Boettiger
and Elliott Roosevelt, the Presidents
sons and daughters; Postmaster Gen.
eral Farley, Secretary Morgenthau
Harry L. Hopkins, John L. Lewis and
Henry L. Doherty.
He contended the inquiry should
embrace political contributions and
tax payments of labor unions, particu-
aarly the c. I. o. and the United
Mine Workers Of America, and Meri-
Eether Reserve. Inc, a Delaware cor
poration, OF which Fish said Mr..
Roosevelt is president.
Fish said he could not believe that
the Federal Government paid any
rental for Hyde Park as a Summer
White House, but that he had re-
ceived so many communications car
rying that report he believed it should
b studied by the committee.
