trict law. the Commissioners said
in their letter, has arisen from tho
ruling Of the United States Court
of Appeals In the case of Sweeney
VS.. District of Columbia. Mr.. Ran

had concluded, following adoption
of the present law, that Congress
had intended that the tax be ap-
piled ito all individuals residing
in the District and enjoying the
benefits of local government ex-
cept for certain exempt classes, in

'Domicile" Defined.
The Allen letter added:
subsequent to the policy outlined
above and adopted by the Commits
sioners, the United States Court of
Appeals for the District of Colum-
bia on March II, 1910 rendered a
decision in a case known as Sweeney
VS.. District of Columbia, No. 1861.
The question in that case was
whether or not Sweeney was sub
ject to the tax on intangible per-
sonal property. While it is true that
the Court did not directly pass upon
the District of Columbia Revenue
Act Of 1899. the decision defined the
word 'domicile,' an dbecause of the
definition it is questionable whether
the Commissioners can follow the
policy adopted by them when they
attempted to reach all persons re-
ceiving the benefits of local govern.

"On Monday, March Is, 1910, you
will recall the House refused to con-
slider a plan which would levy a
combined income and sales tax. Be-
cause Of the Interpretation of the
United States Court of Appeals for
the District of Columbia in the
Sweeney case, and because of the
action of the House of Representa-
tives in refusing to consider COM
bined income-sales tax plan, the
Commissioners believe that it is i'm
perative that the present Revenue
Act of 1899 be amended to remove
all doubt and specifically to levy
an income tax on those deriving an
income from sources within the
District of Columbia. They offer
for your consideration, and the
consideration of your Committee
and the Congress, the enclosed

 The Eagles and Stars clash in the feature set this week. Both teams are within shouting distance of first place and need two or three wins to keep up with the Blues. (When va coming in Eddie?)

 Il The Reds will attempt to drag the Stripes back into the cellar which the two shared up until last week. However, Joe Howwell will have to have his team at it's very best because the Ariolamen have been the best team in the league for the past two weeks.
