DOZEN T|LTSlURE
HALF MILLION FANS
Major Intersectional Games
Held Likely to Provide a
Number of Upsets.

n YEW YORK. October 9.-The
boys who like to reach into
" the hat and pull out surprise
winner of foot ball game
had their biggest chance Of the season
to turn the trick today.
With big games holding the center
OF the spotlight from coast to coast
and more than a half million Gus
toners expected to watch a dozen or
more of the leading contests, it was
hard to name even a few favorites
Which seemed certain to come through.
On the list were such major inter-
sectional contests as Southern Cali
fornia-Ohio State, Rice-Louisiana
State. New York University North
Carolina, Manhattan-M Michigan State,
Auburn-Villanova, Southern Meth
odist-Washington University tSt.
Louis). Carnegie Tech Purdue, Mssis-
sippi State-Texas A. and NJ. West
Virginia-Washington and Lee and
MiSsissippi-St Louis.
Some Slight Favorites.
MOST of these could be called toss
ups with Ohio, Louisiana, North
Carolina, Michigan State and Purdue
rated as slight favorites. Villanova,
S. M. u, Texas A. and M, West Vir-
ginia and Mississippi were granted
slightly wider margins.
In the informal Eastern group,
Cornell was generally expected to whip
an untested Princeton team and Army
to wear down Columbia, but Yale was
given only the thinnest edge over
Pennsylvania. Also in the East were
Pittsburgh's clash with Duquesne, an
other close one, Holy Cross George
town, Harvard Brown and Penn State
Bucknell.
To the South, Duke and Tennessee
both about tops in their respective
conferences, clashed at Durham be-
fore an expected crowd of $4,000
Other major clashes included Ken
tucky-Georgia Tech, Georgia Glenn
son. Alabama-South Carolina and
Navy Virginia. The rest of the South
ern leaders had comparatively soft
games in sight.

RIDERS GRID WIN
FIRST IN 10 YEARS
Speed, Spirit Displayed by
Roosevelt as 1t Beats
Wilson High, 60.
BY BURTON HAWKINS.

~ OOSEVELT HIGH SCHOOLS
~ foot ball followers today felt
tingle Of the mah-jong and
happer era Of past decade
Exactly 10 years ago Roosevelt, then
Business, defeated Western 60, and
until yesterday the Rough Riders suf-
fered through the years trying futilely
to duplicate that interhigh series VIC
tory.
Patience's honey-dipped reward was
presented in the form of 60 triumph
over Woodrow Wilson before 1000
spectators at Roosevelt Stadium. Fur
thermore. Roosevelt definitely estab-
lished itself as a title threat. If the
words of Coach Lynn Woodwork ring
true. and that, to scholastic devotees,
borders on miracle.
We'll have better team as the
season wears on" ventured the frank
Roosevelt mentor following the game
Those boys are fast, but haven't
learned to utilize that speed yet. One
OF our best backs. Billy Mundy. WAS
out with thigh injury. Yes. l think
the boys will improve rapidly now"
Roosevelt Not Sluggish.
THERE is nothing sluggish about that
Roosevelt team. What it lacks in
experience, heft and ability seems to be
offset by sheer determination and
spirit. The Riders are popped up over
their prospects and expect to cash in
with the championship. They prob
ably won't. but at least they're
stamped as dangerous and that In itself
is a novelty.
Ihelr first series triumph in 10
years appropriately enough was re-
corded in the waning moments of

other specific deductions provided
are:
Property having a clear market
value Of $4,000 which is trans
ferred to the widow: similar prop.
erty of a value Of $4,000 trans.
ferred to the husband Of the de.
ceased: of So, 900 value transferred
to a brother or sister, Of $4,000
transferred to any lineal de.
Scendant.
The tax is applicable to any es.
tate which has been transferred
within two years Of the date Of
death unless it can be proven that
it was not so transferred in con
temptation Of death.
The only residents Of the city
who would escape these taxes are
high Government officials, as the
measure provides that it shall be
applicable to all save those either
elected or appointed for definite
terms to the Government service.
While there is no provision in
the Collins bills calling for it, the
MiSsissippian has asserted that
should this income measure be en-
acted it is his purpose to abolish
the existing tax on intangible per.
sonal property.
He also is seeking, by the entire
program, to pile up a surplus in
the District treasury with a view
to eventually reducing the present
real estate tax rate.
Another of the proposed tax in
creaSeS, an outgrowth of the
MapeS Committee study, and
which will be felt in nearly every
home in the city as well as by
visitors here, is that amending the
gasoline tax law by increasing the
present two-cent-a-gallon tax to
four cents gallon. Coupled with
this is provision that all local
importers Of fuel shall pay an an
nual license fee of SIS.
Automobile owners would be hit
even harder by the fourth Mapes
Committee proposal calling for q
tax on motor vehicles on the basis
Of their weight. The rates under
this proposal are:
Automobiles weighing up to
$500 pounds-75 cents hundred.
$500 to 1000 poundS-$1.0O a
hundred.
1000 to 4,OO0-$1.25 a hundred.
1000 to 6,000-$1.5O a hundred.
5000 to 8,000-$1.75 a hundred.
5000 to 10,000-$200 q hun.
dred.
10000 to 12,OOO-$2.25 a hun
dred.
Over 12,000-$2.50 hundred.
Motorcycles would be required
to pay flat rate of IS a year, and

with spouse, $4,000 df separate re-
turns are made, the exemption
shall be $1,000 for each); for each
child under 10 or other dependents,
$500; dividends received from ma
tional banks, trust companies, mu-
tual or incorporated savings banks
and building and loan associations
in the District; amounts received
under life insurance contracts paid
by reason Of the death of the in
Sured.
MarylanderS and Virginians who
work in the District would receive
different treatment, in view Of the
fact that the former State has no
income tax law, whereas the latter
does.
The bill provides that a person
who derives his income in the Dis
trict, but who resides in another
State which has similar income
tax law shall be given credit in the
District for the tax he pays in his
State.
Thus if a person living in Vir.
GINA and deriving his income from
q source in the District pays 500
income tax in Virginia and his tax
under the District law would be
levied at $12O, he would be COM
PEELED to pay the District $40.
Marylanders working in the
District, however, would be sub
ject to the full payment to the
District under the proposed bill,
as there is no Maryland income
tax law.
Included in this bill is an in
come tax provision on corpora
tions. This would be levied at the
rate of per cent per year on
the net income of the corpora
ton. Deductions similar to those
allowed under the Federal income
tax law on corporations would be
permitted, and the bill provides
that these corporations shall file
with the District Assessor the
names, addresses and amount
paid each employee whose salary
is above $1,000.
Hand in hand with the income
tax bill is one providing for tax
on inheritances. The rates under
this tax would be:
Up to 50,000-1 per cent.
100000 to 5000, O00-3 per cent.
100000 to $500, 000-4 per cent.
100000 to $500,000-5 per cent.
100000 to $3.50, 000-6 per cent.
$750,000 to $1.250,000-7 per
cent.
$1,25O,OOO to $4,000, Ooo-s per
cent.
100000 to $4,000, OoO-1o per
cent.
Over $4,000, 000-15 per cent.
On any inheritance a deduction
Of $1,000 would be allowed, but

NEW TAX PLAN
YIELD PUT AT
100000
Statisticians Busy As
D. G. Chiefs Refuse
To Comment

District officials today declined
to discuss the new tax bills intro
duced in the House by Represen-
tativeS Ross Collins, of Mississippi,
chairman of the House District
Appropriations subcommittee.
Commissioner George E. Allen
said he was engaged in a study
of the bills and had no comment
to make. Commissioner Melvin
C. Hazen was i'll at home. Au-
ditor Daniel j. Donovan also said
he had no statement to make.
However, District Building stat
isticians put their heads together
and figured new taxes yielded un-
der the proposed bills would more
than make up the $4,000, 900 def
cit anticipated under present tax
rates during the 1888 fiscal year.
The statisticianS figured the
proposed taxes would enrich the
municipal treasury by more than
So, 900, 900. The additional rev.
enue was calculated as follows:
Privilege tax on corporations,
$500, 900; additional tax on motion
picture and vaudeville theaters,
81 200, 900; increased public util-
tiles taxes, $1,000, 900; parking lot
taxes, $25, 900; motor vehicle
weight tax, $1,500,000; income
taxes, $4,000, 900; inheritance tax,
$3.50, 900; increased gasoline tax,
$4,000, 900; and tax on insurance
companies, 100000.
The estimate made on the in
come tax yield, it was pointed out,
is a gross figure since it is pro-
posed that this tax replace the
present Intangible personal prop
erty impoSt, which yields the Dis
trict approximately 100000 an
nually.
The Washington times., 1937-04-01

even bicycles would be taxed at the
rate Of 50 a year.
Vehicles used exclusively for in.
terState commerce transportation
would pay registration fee which
would be based on the weight tax
but payable in comparison to the
number of miles they travel in
the city as compared to the total
number of miles they travel in a
calendar year. The minimum
would be $25.
Operators Of motion-picture es-
Establishments and combination mo-
ton picture and vaudeville estab-
lishmentS would be taxed at the
rate of per cent on the monthly
receipts on admissions, less deduc-
lions for the amount Of Federal
amusement taxes paid.
It is stipulated in this bill, how
ever, that "it shall be unlawful for
such operator to increase the price
of admissions by reason Of this
tax"
u A privilege tax on foreign and
domestic corporations doing bust
ness in the city would be required
at the time Of filing or registering
articles of incorporation. This
would be sum equal to mill on
the dollar for each dollar Of the
authorized capital stock.
In the case Of the foreign cor
porations, the fee would be COM
puted on the portion of the stock
represented by the property owned
or used in the District. If the
capital stock is increased, the tax
is increased proportionately.
These corporations would also
be required to pay an annual fee
of two mills on each dollar of
paid-up capital and surplus, but
in no case would the privilege tax
be less than $50 nor more than
$4,000.
Surplus. under this bill, is de-
fined as the net value of the cor
poration property here less the in
debtedness and paid-up capital.
Each share of no-par stock shall
have the minimum value of 81 or
such value fixed by the corpora
ton for sale or book value deter
mined by the assessor.
Capital and surplus represented
by property used exclusively in
interstate commerce is not sub
ject to this tax.
