Deductions for business expenses
form a large item in the return of
many taxpayers and must have GER
tain qualities to be allowed. Such de-
duction must be for an expenditure in
connection with the maintenance and
operation of the taxpayers business or
business properties, it must be an ordi-
nary expense and it must be a neces-
sary expense. In insisting upon the
latter qualifications, the Bureau of
Internal Revenue is upheld by the
Board of Tax Appeals and the courts
Ordinary and necessary expenses are
only those which are usual and essen
tial in the case of similar taxpayers,
and do not include extraordinary and
non-essential expenses"
Typical business expenses of a mer-
camille establishment are amounts
paid for advertising, hire of clerks and
other employees, rent, light, heat,
water, stationery, stamps, telephone,
property insurance and delivery ex-
penses.
The expenses of a manufacturing
business include labor, supplies, re-
pairs, light and heat, power, selling
cost administration, apd other similar
charges
The farmer may deduct all amounts
paid in the production, harvesting and
marketing of crops, including labor,
cost OF seed and fertilizer used, cost
OF minor repairs to farm buildings
(other than his dwelling) and small
tools used up in the course of a year
or two. A taxpayer may conduct more
than one business and claim the BUSH
ness deductions of each.

Most of the 16 committee members
present-Senators Borah, Republican
of Idaho and Van Mugs, Democrat, Of
Indiana were absent-paid close at
tention.
To help committee members in

P. w. A. FINANCING
POLICY is REVISED
Federal Grants for Construction
Work Based on Wages
Paid.

Under continued White House pres
sure, the Public Works Administration
today sharply revised its financing
policy in the form of proposal to
make Federal grants of money for
local construction work solely on the
basis of wages paid to workers taken
of relief rolls.
The new policy, which would have
the effect of greatly reducing the GUS
tomary Federal grant meeting rs per
cent Of total construction costs, was
enunciated in an offer to aid the
financing of a ST 654,000 bridge across
the ST. Johns River at Jacksonville,
Fla. Administrator Ickes proposed to
limit the grant to an amount equal
to the sum paid in direct wages to
relief workers, plus a is per cent
bonus, provided the total grant shall
not exceed s295,25O
The P. w. A., in other words, would
pay only about II per cent of the to-
tai construction costs, compared with
the customary 25 per cent.

SPEEDY HUNTERS
POISED FOR RACE
Annual Cross-Country Gal.
l0p at Warrenton Slated
Tomorrow.
BE staff Correspondent 81 The Star.

WARRENTON, Va, March l2.-Ap-
proximately half hundred of the
speediest hunters in the northern Vir-
glnia hunting country were stabbed
here today awaiting post time tomorrow
in the fourth annual point-to- point
races staged by the Warrenton Hunt.
More than a score Of entries have been
recorded for the first event, according
to Capt. Richard kirkpatrick, hon.
orary secretary, and an even larger
field was expected to start in the
second.
The initial test will be five mile
gallop across country, while the Sec
ond competition will require teams
of two horses and riders to cover a
six-mile route. The pairs will be
drawn by lot, lady and gentleman
to comprise each team.
In. the individual race the advance
favorites are Mrs. Robert C. Winmill's
Rain Hawk, which the former M. F. H.
of the Warrenton pack will ride her
self; William B. Streets Independence
Boy, to be ridden by William Emory,
and B. OF Randolph's Lippan Lad.
former steeplechaser that recently has
returned to action in the hunting field
Lippan Lad will be handled by Graham
Doughery of Boyce, Va.
Modelled after the old-fashioned
cross-country races that preceded for
malized steeplechase meets in this
country. the Warrenton tests are run
over an unflagged course, the riders
merely being told where to start and
where to finish and having thereafter
free choice of route between start
ing line and the finish flags. The
only restriction is that none may ride
road for more than a quarter of a
mile and that all gates must be closed
and bars put up again after lowering.
The time and place of the races is
not to be announced until tonight at
Z o'clock.

AIRLINE TO BLAZE
7,0QO-M|LE TRAIL
Huge Flying Boat Will Hop
From California to
New Zealand.

One Of the greatest air-transport
trail blazing flights in history-from
San Francisco to Auckland, New Zea-
lands about to be undertaken by
Pan American Always after more
than two years of preliminary work
by the airline and the Bureau of Air
Commerce.
The first part of the flight may de-
velop into a race between the four
engined flying boat now being groomed
in California for the 7,00O-mile trip
and Amelia Earhart Putnam's Lock
heed landplane.
Miss Earhart and the clipper crew
will follow the regular Pan American
Always transport route to Honolulu
There their courses will diverge, the
famous woman flyer heading south
west to Rowland Island and New
Guinea, while the clipper bears of
in more Southerly course to King
man Reef, Pago Page, Samoa and
Auckland.
At the time the present trans-Pacific
route from San Francisco to Hong
kong, China, was laid out, field studies
were begun on the route to Australasia.
The pioneering flight now about to
begin is one of the final steps in these
studies.
The route to be followed by the clip
per in its pioneering flight lies from
Honolulu to Kingman Reef, HOO
miles; to Pago Page, 1000 miles; and
to Auckland, 1900 miles. The San
Francisco Honolulu leg is 2.400 miles.
Kingman Reef, on which a small
observation party has been stationed,
is tiny dot located in almost the ex-
act geographical center of the Pacific.
Its sand surface is less than the size
Of the average city residential building
lot.
AS part Of the preparatory pro-
gram the Commerce Department two
years ago undertook the colonization
of the American islands of Baker
Rowland and Jarvis, which lie within
few hundred miles on either side OF
the direct air route to New Zealand
The "colonists" for the most part are
young Hawaiian graduates Of the
American College at Honolulu

Ashurst Reprimands
Norris for Swapping
Rubber Band on Pad
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Senator Norris. Independent of
Nebraska, drew a diplomatic
reprimand - muffled in polite
verbiage - today from Senator
Ashurst, Democrat, Of Arizona, the
supercourteous chairman of the
Senate Judiciary Committee.
AS the committee listened to
testimony on the Presidents court
program, the snowy-haired Me-
braskan began absent mindedly to
snap a rubber band against his
scratch pad.
Ashurst-Who has repeatedly
deplored the miserable acous-
tics Of the hearing room-finally
rose to his feet and said:
The members of this commit
tee are among the most polite
men in the Nation and they hesi-
tate to raise their voices in speak
ing to witness.
will spectators and Senators
kindly stop moving about the
hall, shifting chairs, ruffling pa
pers = and swapping rubber
bands?"

Walsh Reveals Position.

about the Roosevelt bill-Walsh, Dem

against it tonight in addressing a
mass meeting in New York along with
Senators Burke, Democrat, of Ne
braska. and Copeland, Democrat, of

in an interview today that, when ST.

Constitution go counter to social legis-
lation. he believed the proper way to
change the situation was by constitu-

Senator Van Nuys, Democrat, Of In
diana, also opposing the administra-
ton proposal, said the opponents were
trying to get together on phraseology
of an amendment to offer in place of
the bill to increase the number of
Supreme Court justices if members
over 10 do not retire.
Although disagreeing with state

General Jackson before the Judici-

praised Jackson for poise, frankness
and forceful presentation.
