Holds Senate While
Close Draws Nearer
■WASHINGTON. Feb. 2g.—UP)—Enactment of the last three of the big
appropriation bills was the task toward which congressional leaders today
I parted their energies.
|wa»e over night threat of a senate filibuster was dispelled in the early
hours, but other difficulties remained.

the naval measure, cairylng
finds to Initiate the 16 warship
instruction program; the interior
department supply bill providing

Htvitles, and a second deficiency

^nt appropriations.
Of this srouD. the naval bill was

measure were hopeful that before
tomorrow night this measure would
be in the hands of President Cool
idge.
The outlook for the other two
was less hopeful. Senators Walsh
and Wheeler, democrats. Montana,
have refused to abandon their op
position to a provision m the inte
rior bill affecting national parks,
while prohibition enforcement
funds and a $150,000 appropriation
to enable a survey of the proposed
Nicaraguan canal are controverted
sections of the second deficiency
measure.
Senator Dill, democrat. Washing
ton. held the senate in session un
til 2.40 a in. today as a result of
his opposition to the Nicaraguan
item.
Senate leaders .however, gained
some satisfaction today over a gen
tlemen's agreement readied last
night to defer consideration for the
remainder of this session of a bill •
to provide for reapportionment of
the house and also a companion 1
measure to authorize the taking of ,
the 1930 census. The proposed re
apportionment of house members
would be based upon this census.
But the lessening of pressure on
this legislation anparentlv was off
set by the difficulty arising from <
the senates action in side-tracking
the house plan to kill the proposed
$24,000,000 increase for prohibition
enforcement in favor of a 52.700,000
appropriation for this purpose.
The $24,000,000 item was attached
by the senate to the first deficiency
bill. House leaders decided to let

practically all other items out of
the measure and incorporated them
in the second deficiency bill now'
before the senate.
But the senate last night eliml* j
nated from the second bill all items
the house had transferred from the
first measure. Now the house, if l
the transferred items are to be
saved, must revive the first bill and
thereby breathe new life lntq the

Except for agreeing to senate
changes in various bills, the house
has completed most of its work.

YOUR INCOME TAX
No. 21.
De ductions for depreciation for
an important item m the returns
of many taxpayers and are the sub
ject of frequent inquiry. The rev
enue act of 1928 provides “a reason
able allowance for the exhaustion,
wear, and tear of property used in
the trade or business, including a
reasonable allowance for obsoles
cence.” For convenience, such al
lowance usually is referred to by
regulations relating to the Income
ta\ as depreciation.
In claiming -a deduction for de
preciation several fundamental prin
clnles must be observed. The de
duction must be confined to prop
erty actually used in the trade,
business, profession, or vocation,
tn general, it applies to the tax
pavers capital assets—buildings,
machinery, etc —the cost of which
can not be deducted as a business
expense. A building or machinery
gradually becomes old and worn out.
On account of this depreciation the
value of such assets is decreased.
T.CS3 Is thereby sustained for which
the taxpayer Is entitled to recog
nition in making his return of in
come.

ATLANTA. Ga. Feb. 38.—(tfV
While middle Georgia faced the
prospect of its worst flood in sev

the area and in eastern Alabama
and northwest Florida soundan an
ominous note for residents of low

some cases have gone above flood

Ocmulgee river which early today
had risen to 24.6 feet. 6.6 feet above
flood stage. Spreading over a wide
area, the high waters threatened
lowland homes. Police rescued one
woman who was trapped in her
flooded home.
From Macon northward for a dis
tance of twenty miles, flood waters
from the Ocmulgee and Ocone*
rivers were up to the tracks of the
southern railway, and trains were
moving cautiously.

MONROE. Mich.. Feb. 28.—<JP>—
Aided by the dynamiting of the ic

bridge, floodwaters of the river
Raisin appeared to be slowly reced
ing today. The dynamiting was
carried on throughout the night
and early today in an effort to open
a way for the ice and waters to
flow into Lake Erie.
The flooded area, which yester
day extended along a 15 block sec
tion paralleling the river and for
from two to three blocks on either
side of it. had narrowed down con
siderably this morning.

Swollen by freshets from the

further rains contributed to the
flood.
Today the river approached a
stage of 32 feet and inhabitants of
bottom land fled to safety. Farm

warning.
