REPORTS FROM LOCAL
i
HITH INCOME SETHS
j Listening in from the side-lines
at the Citv Council session last
night, which was of brief dura
tion owing to the small amount
of busines coming before the of
ficials, one gained an idea that
bv far the most important sub
ject of the evening was that of
I tax due the city from commercial
j establishments.
Important from this stand
point; that too long have many
local business firms either ne
glected to comply with the law
and paid in notAing or, it was
thought, filed valuations of gross
| business at too low a figure.
To make a long story short
a survey of every local concern
is to be made and both the esti
| mate and owner’s valuation of
( gross business for the year check
{ed against the income tax re
ports filed at Tacoma, Wash.
It was said that where irregular
ities are revealed same will be
sent to court headquarters for
final action. It was pointed out
i that insofar as the reports sub
! mitted, upon which tax is fixed,
i they are attested by a sworn state
ment by owners, and perjury
(charges face those who do not
!comply to the letter of the law.
The final analysis is that all
tax money turned into the city
offices remains there and goes
into the city’s treasury; that
an injustice is done the firms who
return a true accounting and pay
tax accordingly, as against those
firms which may be shaving
total gross business and paying
a smaller tax. In this case the
city loses much needed revenue.
Claims totaling $1,511.05 were
ordered paid and warrants drawn
for same. Work is going forward
as to making a few necessary
repairs to the Fourth Avenue
bridge. The expenditure of $40
for special street work was or
dered returned to the treasury
upon report property owners
could not come to an agreement.
Mayor P. C. McMullen presided
over the council session with all
councilmen present with the ex
ception of Councilmen’s Mel Hor
ner and Otto Schallerer.
RIO JANEIRO, Nov., 4. (^-Ob
servers from the United States vis
iting Brazil since the trip of Presi
dent-elect Hoover last December
have suggested that the greatest
need in promoting closer relations
between the two “United States” is
that of student exchange, espciaiiy
of sending young Brazilians to in
stitutions of learning in the north
land.
At the same time, it is argued,
American professors with a knowl
edge of Portuguese should lecture
in Brazilian universities.
The need of this latter is evi
dent by the number of Europeans
who come to South American coun
tries on lecture tours at various
universities, and teachers from
Latin-Europe who are employed in
the more progressive schools here.
| These teachers naturally have a
! tendency to draw the youth of
! Brazil to those countries of the Old
i World whose cultural roots are of
I the same origin.
