George Towne, in the Georgetown,
Kentcuky News, said, “Only in Ameri
ca. . . the America of a bygone era,
we are sorry to say, could a man
shape his own destiny. . . Today, how
ever, while he is still relatively free
to choose his own line of endeavor,
any similaryit between that and shap
ing his own destiny, is purely coin
cidental. At the top of every business,
regardless of size, is some bureau
cratic office of the Federal Govern
mnt . . . manipulating, controlling and
otherwise effectively curtailling the
efforts of free enterprise in a free
society.” :

American business is a constant
challenge. According to Nation’s
Business, “In this couniry there are
4.7 million businesses. . . Some 475,000
will turn belly-up this year and an
other 350,000 will change hands or
become inactive.”

A recent editorial in the Fond du
Lac, Wisconsin, Commonwealth Re
porter says: “The governmknt has
enough business problems without
trying to sell electricity. The yearly
postoffice deficit is just one example.
Private enterprise has been the main
stay in our countryl's growth. We see
no reason why the government should
try to take over a successful private
enterprise like the utility industry.”

According to David Lawrence, pro
hibition cost the nation in lost reve
nue and enforcement expenses an
“estimated 30 billion dollars. Finally,
he says . . . “The Eighteenth Amend
ment was repealed by adop.ion of the
Twenty-first Amendment which turn
ed the problem back to the States. The
princinle of local option was re-es

Homeowners Advised To
Deduct Casualty Dosses
. On Tax Returns
Most homeowners are not likely to
forget big casualty losses, such as
damage from fire hurricane or floods,
when figuring their taxes. But there
are smaller losses which may be
overlooked, according to Changing
Times, the Kiplinger Magazine, |
An article in the current issue of
the magazine noles that “Generally,
to be deductible a casualty must be
sudden, unexpected or unusual. You
can deduct the loss to the extent it's
not covered by insurance.’ The maga
zine advises home oyners not to over
look such small items as:
A hot water boiler that bursts,
Water pipes that freeze and crack.
Nearby blasting or sonie boom that
shatters windows,
Damage to the house caused by van
dals.
Damage to trees or shrubs caused
by storm sudden cold spell or lightn
ing.
Damage from a sudden invasion of
termites, say within a year after the
house was inspected and found clear
of termites,
“The amount of loss, basically, is
the decrease in value of the property
immediately before and after the cas
ualty,” the article states. “Ideally, an
independent before-and-after apprai
sal by an expert would be the best
method of establishing your loss. But
the Internal Revenue Servise will of
ten (though not always) accept repair
bills, if not excessive, as a proper es
timate of the loss. You can claim the
casualty loss even if you do not ac
tually repair the damage. Figure the
loss from an estimate of what repairs
would cost.”
