Franchise Tax
Held Applicable
.ToD.C. Brokers
Hibbs Co. Contention
ills Exempt Denied by
Tax Appeals Board

The Board of Tax Appeals held
today that stock brokers are SUBJ
ject to the Districts unincorpora-
ted business franchise tax.
The ruling was made on con-
tention of the w. B. Hibbs g. Co.
partnership that it was exempt
from the tax under a provision
of the statute excluding bust
nesses which "by law. customs or
ethics cannot be Incorporated"
During 1947. the opinion noted,
81 per cent of the firms gross
income came from commissions
on the New York Stock Exchange,
and the rest from interest on
margin accounts and transactions
on other exchanges and "over-
the-counter."
The New York Stock Exchange
and most other exchanges always
have denied membership to
corporations, and Hibbs contended
it therefore came within that
class of business which by custom
cannot be incorporated 1t was
stated.
Corporations Admitted Elsewhere
The board said that the business
of a stock broker can be conducted
by corporations on exchanges
which do admit corporations to
membership, and stock brokers can
also derive income from transac-
tions over-the-counetr. which do
not require membership in any
stock exchange.
Interest on margin accounts, al
though in the case of Hibbs it re-
suited to a great extent from ac-
tivities on the New York Stock
Exchange, also can be indepen-
dent of such trading. the opinion
stated.
The board pointed out that the
word custom" sometimes Is used
in the sense Of habitual or usual,
but that in another sense-the
one in which it apparently is used
in the statute-it can have the
larger meaning of a custom which
has acquired the force Of law.
"Connotes Prohibition.
1.-THE statute does not exclude
any trade or business which is
usually not incorporated but in
stead, a business which by custom
cannot be incorporated" the
opinion said.
THE word cannot connotes
a prohibition, something more
than lack of expediency, depart
ure from the usual. The business
of a stock broker can lawfully and
properly sbe.~.. conducted by a
corporation"
The amount involved in the
case under question was a tax
of $975.29. plus $274.S7 interest.

You and the D. c. Soles Tex
(Fpusth 81 q Sertes5

The boys who pay for thoii
beers as they are served hoping
thereby to avoid the sales tax
are due for q bit Of shock start
ing next Monday.
Barkeepers who play the game
according to Hoyle will be obliged
to collect the 2 per cent tax If the
total bill exceeds 13 cents. even If
the customer pays for each glass
separately.
That's the rule for multiple
sales, as set down in the regula-
tions, and officials of the District
sales tax Office say they hope to
enforce 1t.
Specifically. the rule provides
for tax collection on the total sales
price of all purchases made "on
the same occasion" regardless OF
the value of separate items. "On
the same occasion" Is defined as
an entire business day.
Thus, technically. a man might
purchase. during the morning
any item under IA cents without
paying a tax, but on returning tc
the same place Of business tina,
evening. and buying a similarly
priced article. could be taxed FOL
the combined value OF both.
May Absorb Tax.
OF course. no merchant Is going
to be that eager to drive away
business. And many beer dis.
pensers are expected to go along
with customers who refuse to bt
taxed for pay-as-you go stems
This uncollected tax may b<
absorbed by some taverns In TIN
guise of smaller glasses or al
extra penny added to the sale'
price.
This is only one of the myriad
problems facing restaurateur
storekeeper and consumer alike a
the effective date Of the sales tai
nears. Here are some others:
@. A group Of friends has din
ner at a restaurant. How is tn
check figured for the tax?
A. The entire bill is totaled
then divided by the number o
diners. II the average equals o
exceeds the minimum taxable mea
price Of 1926, a 2 per cent tax j
paid on the entire ticket.
Can Have Separate Check.
@. What If a member OF tn
party wants separate check?
A. Under the regulations. he /
entitled to it, but he should re
quest it at the time the orders ar
takeng,
@. Must the tax be paid OF
cover, minimum and entertain
ment charges as well as meals?
A. Yes. For example, il thu
cover charge is SO and the taxable
amount of the meals S., the diners
would pay tax on an So tab. o.
is cents. In the case of minimum
charge, if it is So and the entire
bill 81, the taxable amount woule
be 81. But If the bill should rur
less than the 81 minimum, thu
customer would pay tax on the 81
Q. What food is non-taxable?
A. Any purchased for humal
consumption off the premises
Since premises are defined as tn
building and grounds of the es
tablishment. food served at
drive-in, for instance, Is taxable

My Brown Skin Doll
BY BeiiY Moorman


! had a little brown skin doll
Her curls were long and black
And upon her little brown skin
head
There sat pretty hat.
And upon her brown SKIN finger
She wore a little unE
And upon her brown skin should
ers
Were 2 pair ~ brown skin wings.
And YOU should see her brown
skin face
Shaped Ike 4 brown skin bowl
When me looks into her dark
brown eyes
They glitter as n gold.
And upon her brown skin face
were lips
With a brown skin chin below
And there inside her pretty
mouth
were teeth as white AS snow
