URGES APPROVAL
Of AIRPORT BILL
May to Ask Roosevelt to
Sign Bill to Close
Military Road.

Chairman May of the House Mill
tary Affairs Committee announced
today he would 60 to the White House
this week to urge President Roosevelt
to sign bill providing for closing OF
Military road through the Washington
Hoover Airport reservation in Arling-
ton County, Va.
Passed by the Senate January 5. the
measure cleared its last legislative
hurdle yesterday when it went through
the House without amendment.
The President last year opposed a
bill which not only would have closed
Military road but would have annexed
So acres Of the Arlington Experimental
Farm of the Department of Agricul-
ture for the use of the airport.
Road Held Hazard.
Secretary of War Woodring has told
Congress the road to be closed Is no
longer necessary for military purposes
It's closing is regarded as necessary
to remove the principal hazard at the
airport.
The bill authorizes the Secretary of
War to lease to the National Airpor,
Corp, operators of the airport. that
portion of the road which actually
divides the airport for so years at the
rate of 81 year. The airport corpora
ton, however, would be required to
turn over $25,00O to the Arlington
County Board for construction of q
substitute road
Some advocates of a new and mod
ern airport for Washington fear that
passage of the bill may stop legisla-
ton for this purpose at the present
session of Congress. These views are
shared by Representative Smith, Dem
ocrat, OF Virginia, who has a bill pend
ing to establish the airport at Gravelly
Point on the Potomac.
Other bills provide for an airport at
Suitland, Md, and at Camp Springs,
Md. Extensive hearings have been
held on both measures, but they have
not been reported out of House COM
mittees.

PAROLE EB0DY WINS
JURISDICTION CASE
Court UphoIds Authority to
Take Prisoner Freed for
Good Behavior.

The authority of the United States
Parole Board to order the apprehen-
sion of prisoner convicted in the
District but incarcerated and later
released for good behavior from a
Federal penitertiary was upheld yes
terday bv the United States Court
of Appeals
The courts decision concerned Will
liam S. Story, who was released Sep
tember 80. 1886, after serving a five
year robbery sentence, less time of
for good behavior. The following
November the Federal Parole Board
caused a warrant to be issued for his
apprehension on the ground he had
violated the conditions of his condi-
tional release by committing another
of1ense. The alleged second offense
led to his indictment, trial and con-
viction on a charge of assault with
intent to rape. For this offense he
was sentenced to serve nine months
in the District Jail.
While he was in Jail the Parole
Board lodged its warrant with Jail
authorities as detainer for him
after he had completed his second
sentence. He petitioned the District
Court for habeas corpus writ to
free him from custody of the board
The trial justice dismissed the petit
ton, and the Court of Appeals af-
flrmed its judgment.
Citing an act passed June 90, 1892
the appellate court said the law pro-
vided that prisoners released for good
behavior should be treated as if re-
leased on parole and hence are SUBJ
ject to recommitment for subsequent
misbehavior before the expiration OF
the sentence
Assistant United States Attorney
John j. Wilson defended the jurisdic-
tion of the Parole Board in the srgu-
ment before the court.

This is the fifth and final of q
series OF articles andlystng the pro-
posed District income tar.
BY JAMES f. CHINN.

There are going to be some nice Jobs
available in the District government
after July l if Congress enacts the
1899 revenue bill in its present form,
and the applicants will not have to
be residents or even have civil service
status to get them.
The three choice jobs will be those
OF members of the board of tax ap-
peals which the bill would create. The
chairman will receive $4,000 a year
and the other two members $1,000 a
year each.
In addition there will be number
OF other jobs in the Office of the board
OF tax appeals for clerks, stenogra-
pliers and the like, whose salaries will
be fixed in accordance with the classi-
fication act, although these employees
will be appointed without regard to
the civil service laws.
The Commissioners will have the
power to make all the appointments
members of the board as we'll as the
clerical staff. No qualifications are
set forth in the bill for the boards
employees. but two of the three mem
oers must be attorneys and in active
practice for five years preceding ap-
pointment. The third will have to be
a certified public accountant. None of
the members, or the clerical help.
however, is required to be resident
of the District.
Would Review Protests.
The board would be set up pri-
marily to review protests against tax
assessments, other than those relating
to general and special real estate taxes
and the income tax. It's only author
ity in connection with the income tax
would be to consider appeals of tax
payers whose claim for refunds for
overpayment had either been fatty
rejected or only partly allowed by the
tax assessor.
The District now has a board Of
equalization and review which will
not be abolished under the bill. This
board, composed of the assessor and
the assistant assessors, would continue
to equalize valuations and review ap-
peals from real estate assessments.

the final court of resort for an ag-
grieved taxpayer. The bill specifically
provides that appeals may be carried
from either Of these boards to the
courts.
The courts also are to be the court
of last resort for final determination
of questions raised by taxpayers in
connection with the assessors admin
istration of the law. Some complica-
tlons already are anticipated when
the assessor begins to interpret some
close questions as to who is a resident
and who is nonresident Both resi-
dents and non-residents who have a
source of income in the District are to
be taxed.
Defines Resident.
The bill, for instance, defines as a
resident every person domiciled in
the District on the last day of the
taxable year, and every other person
who for more than six months of the
taxable year maintained a place of
abode In the District, whether domi-
ciled in the District or not"
Many knotty questions are almost
certain to develop in the interpreta-
ton Of this definition. For example
How would the tax assessor handle
the case of Department of Justice
agent attached to the Washington bu-
reau who spends a total of seven
months of the taxable year outside
the District on investigations and the
other five months living in Washing
ton hotels?
Not Resident.
This particular agent would not
have maintained a place of abode in
the District for the necessary six
months, so he's not resident. Would
he be classed as a nonresident and
taxed on the same basis as the non
resident whose source of income is
derived in Washington and who lives
in nearby Maryland or Virginia?
And how about a salesman for a
Baltimore firm who lives in Washing
ton about five months out of a tax
able year and in various MARYLAND
communities the other seven months
He's not a resident and he can't be
classed as nonresident for the pur-
pose OF the income tax. Yet a large
portion OF his income may be earned
IN the District. How much would he
pay, if anything?
