three flaming planes out of the
hangar in time to prevent damage
to three other privately owned ships

The fabric of the three damaged
planes, Stinson, Taylor Cub and
an Aeronca, was completely burned,
leaving the metal frames warped.
Damage to the three ships was
placed at $500. Damage to the

The field had been privately op-

provisions in August, 1899.
Regulations 106 govern the
application of these taxes on
and after January l, 1910, and
supersede Regulations 81, relat-
ing to the employees tax and
employers under Title VII! OF
the Social Security act. The
taxes to which the new regula-
lions relate, it was emphasized,
apply to all employers who have
one or more employees engaged
in the performance of services
not specifically expected, and
should not be confused with the
federal unemployment tax
which applies only TO employers
of eight or more.
Copies of the new regulations
will be available through the
offices of Collectors of Internal
Revenue as soon as it is possible
to obtain delivery from the gov
eminent printing office. The
text of the regulations appears
today in the federal register.
Major changes in the law re-
lating to the employees tax and
the employers tax, all OF which
are treated in the new regula-
lions, are as follows:
Cd The rate of each tax has
been fixed at l per cent on
the employer and l per cent on
the employee for the Swear
period beginning with Janu-
airy /, 1910, as against the "
per cent rate provided under
the old law.
(2) Beginning with January
1, 1910. the taxes apply to wa,
ges of employees of" national
banks, state banks which are
members of the Federal Reserve
system, and certain other fed
eral and state instrumentalities
which were exempted prior to
that date. The wages OF sea-
men and other employees
aboard American vessels lex
cept certain types of fishing
vessels) are now subject to the
taxes.
60 The exemption of agri-
cultural labor has been broad
ened, effective January l, l94O,
so as to exclude numerous types
of services heretofore taxable.
az Beginning January l, 1910,
exemption has also been grant,
ed to a number of types OF SER
vices which were taxable prior
to that date. Included among
these services performed by en-
ployees receiving only nominal
amounts Qess than $45 per
uuarter) from various nonprof-
it organizations exempt from
federal income tax, such as, for
example, certain labor unions,
fraternal beneficiary societies,
