Legion Serves An Ultimatum Upon Congress Four Alternate Forms for ex-Service Men Outlined and Favorable Action Is Demanded Within 60 Days Means Outlay of Billions Land Settlement, Home Aid, Vocational Education and Compensation Proposed i -..-_ From The Tribune's Washington Bureau WASHINGTON, Feb. 18.?National Commander Franklin D'Olier an? nounced to-day that the benecial legis? lation and land and home aid com? mittees* of the American Legion, fol? lowing a three-day session In Washing? ton, h-ul determined upon four alterna? tive forms of help the ex-service men expect of Congress and ;hat favorable action was desired within sixty days. Members of Congress confess some surprise and even resentment that the Legion should thus serve them with what is in effect an ultimatum, but it is probable that the peremptory language of Mr. D'Olier's statement will at least result in early action one way or the other. It is likely that a special committee will be made up in the House of five members ? each from the Interstate Commerce Committee, the Public Lands Committee, the Appropriation Com? mittee and the Ways and Means Com? mittees to deal with the legislation proposed by the Legion. Four Sorts of Legislation According to the program adopted the four sorts of beneficial legislation required are. First?Land settlement projects covering all states. Second?Home aid to encourage the purchase of either rural or city homes by ex-service men. Third?Vocational education for all ex-service persons. Fourth?Adjustment of compensa? tion or extra pay based on length of service. It is Intended that each ex-service man shall indicate which form of ?gMP.PI"?.'

The second means that ex-servico men who desire to purchase farms outside tho reclamation projects or become the owner of a city home shall be financed by the government. The third, which is entiroly new, means that even service men who were not disabled, shall be entitled to voca? tional training. Tho fourth has been formulated already to mean the issu? ance of a $50 bond to each Bcrvice person for each month of service. Altogether, the program will neces? sitate some very comprehensive legis? lation and expenditures running, ulti? mately, into the billions. The League's Attitude Mr. D'Olier made tho following state? ment concerning the legion's position in respect to Congressional action: "The American Legion, nt its na? tional convention, held in Minneapolis last November, called Congress's at? tention to the fact that, although a full year had elapsed since tho armistice had been signed, practically nothing had been done for the ex-service man, especially those disabled during the war. "It required a special meeting in I Washington of tho American Legion I during December to secure satisfactory action by Congress for the disabled j man, to the end that he would no longer be an object of private charity, but receive a square deal from his | country. "The American Legion has waited in vain for Congress to take action to re ? lieve the financial disad%rantages of ex service men and women incidental to their military service, and is quite con? fident that although Congress has had its attention called to this matter it does not appreciate the urgency for immediate legislation, which will show that this government actually is play? ing as fair with ex-service mon and i aSum ^Iss** ? Printing Facts The three kinds of type in use today are ROMAN, Italic, and CtXto The first was copied from the ancient Roman inscriptions, the second from the commercial Italian handwriting of the middle ages, and the third from the ecclesi ! astical lettering used in the manu : script books before the invention ; of printing. | Publishers Printing Company 213 West 25th Street i Telephone Chelsea 7840 women as they always have and still ' will play fair with their government. I "The American Legion again recom i mends strongly to Congress, legislation i embodying the optional "features of land settlement, home aid, vocational training or an adjustment of compen? sation, and now does not hesitate to state that it expects definite action within the next sixty days. "There is no body of citizens more -interested in the future of this coun? try than the American Legion, and it simply asks Congress for as liberal treatment a3 is consistent with the welfare of the country?legislation that | will be fair and square to the ex-ser i vico men and women, and also fair and I square to the rest of the country." Federal Income Tax Questions Answered for The Tribune by MorMs F. Frey, assistant treasurer Guaranty Trust Company Q.?D. B.: (1) Is the amount of Federal income tax deductible from one's stats <n come taxi <2) Vndsr personal taxes allowable for deductions, does this include taxes paid for amusements, drugs, wearing apparel, etc, and is it figured as an estimate for the en? tire y earl A.?(1) No. ?. i (2) So-called "luxury taxes" are deductible I when the tax is payable by the consumer. j This is the case with the tax on amusements j end drugs and also with respect to wearing j apparel, which is taxed under Section 904 o? the revenue act of 1918. Q.?Veteran: Must I pay income tax to both state and Federal governments on my Civu War pension"! A.?Civil War pensions are subject to Federal income tax, but are exempt from state income tax. i Q.?S. F. J.: In the last few years I have ' regularly made out an income return. This j year (1919) my income is less than $2,000. / am married. Having made return before, am I supposed to do so' again despite my not hai'ing any tax to pay! A.?No. A married man HvinR: with his wife on December 31, 1919, is not required to file a return if his net income is less than $2,000. Q.?R. C. P. : I am single and living away from home. Myself and two brothers, who are living at home, are supporting mother, father (who is mentally defective) and three sisters and two brothers, who are all under eighteen years of age. I have contributed $900 in the last year toward their support. My other two brothers have contributed about the same amount. Am I entitled to deduct this amount from my income, and also aro my brothers en? titled to the same deduction in making our Federal income tax return? A.?-The Treasury Department has recently rul?Mi that a dividi?d resporaibility preclnd? the claiming by a taxpayer of an additional $1,000 exemption as the "head of a family." Consequently you are only entitled to a per? sonal exemption of $1,000, with an additional exemption of $200 for each individual who receive? his chief support from you and who is (a) under eighteen years of age, or (b) physically or mentally defective. State Income Tax Q.?F. J. C: Please let me know if school teachers or secretaries to the Hoard of Edu? cation are exempt from tax. Am I permitted to deduct for depreciation or repairs on dwelling owned by me and in which I reside ? A.?The salaries received by schtaol teach? ers or secretaries to the Board of Education are subject to the New York State income tax. You are not entitled to a deduction for depreciation or repairs made to the dwelling owned by you in which you reside. Q.?W. H. B. : I have, a position in New York State, but my home and property are in another state. My income from, tliat state consists of rent and bank stock. Last summer I paid a property tax and an in? heritance tax to the state in which the prop? erty is located. Am 1 entitled to deduct the property tax and the inheritance tax from my taxable income! A.?You are not entitled to deduct the in? heritance tax in computing your net income. \ou are, however, entitled *o deduct the property tax if it was not ass?sed for a local benefit which tended to improve the value of the property. Q.?R. B.: I own a tenement house an which there is a mortgage. The mortgage fell due during the year 1919, and in order to prevent it from being foreclosed I had to pay a bonus of $1,000 to have the mortgage renewed. Ie this a deductible expenso from gross income! A.?Yes. Sails to Hasten Work Of Returning U. S. Dead R. A. Hayes Sent to Europe by Baker to Investigate Conditions Ralph A. Hayes will sail on the New York for\ Southampton to-day to expe? dite the work of bringing back for burial the bodies of American soldiers killed in Europe during the war. Of the 77,000 American soldiers burled abroad, the remains of moro than 25 per cent will never be brought back, because relatives Wave expressed a de? sire they be not disinterred. "Of course, the graves of all the American soldiers have been regis? tered," Baid Mr. Hayes at the Hotel Vandcrbilt yesterday. "About 96 per cent are in France. The rest are scat? tered in North Russia, Belgium, Ger? many. Italy, Serbia and even in Spain. In Franco a number of permanent sol? diers' cemeteries will bo established. "Secretary Baker has sent question? naires to all next of kin, asking for their wishes regarding the disposition of the remains. Their requests will be complied with. So far about 25 per cent have expressed a willingness that the bodies shall remain on the soil whore they fell. About 10 per cent have not given a definite answer. "The work of disinterring the re? mains and preparing for their ship? ment to America or to a permanent burial ground abroad is now well under way, under the direction of American military officers. My mission will be largely to report on the progress of the work." British Air Base at Bagdad WASHINGTON, Feb. Ig.-? Great Brit? ain relies largely upon her air forces for the defense of Persia and Meso? potamia, according to official advices received here. Winston Churchill, Brit? ish War Minister, recently informed Parliament that air bases have been established at Bagdad and Karachi, the latter a port on the Arabian Sea. Military experts here attach great importance to this announcement, as it is the first time, authorities say, that air forces have been relied upon to so large a degree purely for defense. British authorities have feared that Bolshevik troops might enter Afghanis? tan and attack Persia from the flank. It is believed the aerial forces have been organized partly to m?et this threatened danger.
