Washington, March SI.—A plan for tbm placing of all rsvsnue from taxm tm automobiles and motor equipment htto a special fund for hlghvi^ay Im- provem^t is proposed by Senator Rob¬ ert N. Stanfleid of Oregon.. The plan
the amendment of the present law for l^ederal aid to highway construction. /Ktring tbe fiscal year, ending June SO, 29Jro, oOGordlng to a statement made by J|«lUttor Stanfleld, the Federal revenue dertred from the tax on motor trucks, atifomoblles, motorcycles, tires, tubes, etc^ amounted to $146,963,000. These taiima were directly levied upon manu- liietiireirs but, of oourse. eventually paid by purchasers. Juat as the user of water or rail trannports.tlon pays ac¬ cording to the extent of his use, so Senator. Htanfleld t(clieves the user of tas highway should he required an near¬ ly as practicable to pay according to his use of the hlghA'ay.

R. A S.:—We are a coriViratlon. In
highway users are already contributing Id the cost of construction and upkeep. SUice the development and Incrensetl use of the automoblle has resulted in the establishment of fnter-State high- waj^s, it is argued that there shoulfl be ft Federal tax on automobiles and ac- ssMmrles. the procefds of which should go directj^^ into the Federal highway fund. Since the buyers of automobiles indirectly pay the tax, the burden would fall upon the several States In propor¬ tion to the numb<tr of automobiles they buy. Senator Stanfleld's plan contem¬ plates the apportionment of thc greater part of the fund thus raised among the States In proportion to tho number of automobile licenses is.sued.

Lsddltlon to our salaries rt<) wo have to report tho net profits of the con¬ cern? If so. would a net loss In the biislness be deductible from Income? In other words, we imderstand that u cor¬ poration tKiys a franchise tax and therefore the members of the firm do not report the corporatkm's net In- oame In their Individual refurn.s.
Ans.:—Corporations are taxable on their net ineome and file returns with the State Tttx Con^nilsslon. Tho stml?- holdors are taxnblo on their dividends and salaries from the corporfttirm un¬ der the personal income tax law, and should file returns before April I'l.

Secretary:—Are contributions to tho following deductible In the State re¬ turn: 1—The Town Hall, New York City; 2—Memborshiii dues In the D. A. R.?
