Query to Governor Is

'VASHINGTON-The presi-
dents political catechizing of
recent distinguished visitors
to the White House convinces
them that he will be a candi-
date to succeed himself. He
gave no commitments but his
questions had a 1910 ring.
Apropos of nothing in particular,
Mr.. Roosevelt asked the governor
of southwestern state who was
the real political power among
state Democrats at this particular
time. When the name of a rather
unfriendly congressman was men
toned in reply, he pursed his lips
In a low whistle.
He dismissed the caller with
the reminder: "You know, I
have been pretty good to YOU
folks down in that part Of the
country"
II is interviews like these which
stir suspicion that the president
might consent TO be drafted in ae-
cord with the old fashioned
formula.
Anti-New Deal Democrats are
framing a novel WPA set-up on
the basis OF revelations Of extrava-
gance produced before the Wood

reason for the revised system is
the discovery that WPA projects

the same work performed by pri-
vate contractors

for letting WPA contracts To phi

Brookings institution
Loses Refund Claim
In Rental Dispute
Building Held Competing
With Others, Hence
LiubIe for Tux

The Brookings Institution yester-
day lost its claim for a refund of
$191.12 in business privilege taxes
paid the District government, on the
ground that income it received from
rental Of an office building was ex-
empt from the tax, under a ruling
by 10 v. Morgan, sole member of
the District Board of Tax Appeals.
The institution reported it had
received gross rentals of $49,77885
during the calendar year 1896 from
the Office building it owns at 1726 I
street NV, and paid the business
privilege tax bill under protest.
It claimed it was not engaged in
business" and that it was exempt
from the business privilege section
Of the Revenue Act of 1887.
Mr.. Morgan agreed the petitioner
was a non-profit corporation en-
gagged In carrying out the educa-
tional and scientific purposes for
which 1t was organized. He found
that the institution was engaged in
business" although agreeing that
this alone would not make the tax
levy valid.
He agreed also the Office building
was donated to the institution and
the net rental receipts were used for
the scientific and educational pur-
poses OF the organization.
But he found also that the office
building was in direct competition
with other Office buildings, the rents
from which are subject to the busi-
ness privilege tax and that the
petitioner furnished to tenants all
OF the services usually furnished by
owners of office buildings to tenants,
such as heat, light, elevator and
janitor services.
