The Income Tax
BY I. A. FLEMING
Washington. D. C.
The internal revenue bureau has is
sued some very plain regulations that
set forth many conditions covered by
m-jch technique in the two revenue acts,
under which the income tax is imposed.
Pensions and the pay of retired arn.y
and navy officers are liable to income
tax. if exceeding the exemptions al
lowed.
Farm produce is not treated as ia
coine until sold. A farmer is free from
very many things in the taxation
scheme. He may make deductions for
abor. cost of seed, fertiliser, pay of la
bor for the care of live stock pur
chased for resale, but must report the
entire proceeds of sale as income.
A farmer does not report products of
the farm as income until sold. Products
of the farm produced in 1916 and sold
in 1517 become port of the income of
1917; no report is made of product of
the farm for 1917. unless sold in 1917.
The farmer may make no deduction for
the labor used in producing garden
truck for his own table and does not
need to include it as income
Must Allow Fair Rental
In paying an employe room and board
plus a salary, a fair rental must be al
lowed. also a fair value on the meals
furnished must be reported by the em
ploye as income, but if services are
used in the employes' business the lat
ter-May claim deduction for the rent of
the room, if any. and a. fair valuation
fbr the meals furnished, under the head
of business deductions.
Overdue salary must be returned for
the year in which it was finally made
good.
Payments on account of contract for
work to be performed entered into do
not figure in income account until con
tract completed, as the extent of the
profit cannot be estimated until finish
ed. This is especially intended for con
tractors.
Contributions and gifts to individuals
do not constitute allowable deductions.
Contributions to organizations for re
ligious. charitable, scientific or educa
tional purposes: for the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, or
the Society for the Prevention of
Cruelty to Children, are deductable *f
no more than 15 per cent of the in
come of the giver.
A renter of a farm, reports as income
his share of the produce for the year in
which it is sold.
An exchange of farm produce for mer
chandise. groceries, etc., requires the
Inclusion of a fair price for the grocer
ies, etc., in the farmer s Income.
Report Cost of Repairs
A tenant, under the terms of a lease,
is expected to pay cash rental and make
certain repairs. The cost of the im
provement!! plus the cash rental must
be made part of the landlord's schedule.
Recipients of bonus, intended to stim
ulate zeal and enthusiasm or a reward
lor past services must include bonuses
CATARRH
New and Curious Remedial Discovery
That Never Fails to Give
Immediate Results
Here is a safe and easy method for getting at catarrh that invariably sur>
prises chronic sufferers because of the immediate and pleasing effects it produces.
There is no waiting for results. Just to cite an instance, take the experience
of Mr. H. Elser. Lexington, Neb. who writes: “Dear Sam Katz: I received
your catarrh treatment, and in two days my catarrh
was gone. lam now cured.”
The Sam Katz method which this gentleman
and thousands of others have used, is different from ft ft
any thing you have ever known of. There is nothing
to smoke, spray or inject; no salves, creams, vibra- tjv Bl
tion or massage. Everything about it is natural
and healthful.
The exact remedial combination of thia method is a secret rwyST\
known only to myself and my associates, although I will say Kgf '<>, Eva
this much: it is based on the modern scientific dis- $ 11- Ja Vj

Merchants to ascertain amount of
gain and profit should take an inventory
at the close of each calendar year of the
goods on hand, at the cost price, add to
the total cost price of all goods on hand
at the opening of the year the cost of
all goods purchased during the year,
and the difference between the amount
thus obtained and the inventory taken
at the close of the year, plus his total
gross receipts, is to be reported as his
gross income.
Gross receipts should not be given
under gross income and the cost of the
goods purchased, claimed as a deduc
tion.
The wage of a minor child is to be re
ported in the parents’ income.
Payments under the employers’ liabili
ty act are subject to income tax, and are
also applicable to any amount received
from accident insurance policy.
Maturing endowment policies are not
subject to the indome tax laws. A sales
man. selling on commission, may make
deductions of railroad fares, sleeping
car berths, taxi or street car fare, show
rooms. assistants, advertising, etc., if
he is not reimbursed for these items by
the concern for which he is selling, but
he must report the gross amount of
commissions earned, after which he may

"•A salesman may also deduct amounts
expended in entertaining out-of-town
customers if the purpose of the busi
ness man is to cultivate the good will
of his customers and secure an increase
in trade. The same ruling would apply
to merchants and business concerns gen
erally.
Items of personal expense cannot be
deducted.
Repairs on a farm, fence, buildings,
etc., may be deducted.

ance policy and premiums on residence
property are listed as personal expenses

Gerard to Testify
WASHINGTON, Jan. 12—The senate
military committee today decided to
hear former Ambassador Gerard testi
fy to what warnings he gave the gov
ernment that it was likely to be drawn
into the war against Germany. The
former ambassador will be heard at his
own request.
The request was made in a telegram
. from Mr. Gerard to Senator ’W’adsworth
I who submitted it to Chairman Cham
berlain. Owing to the fact that Sec
retary Baker is now appearing before
the committee, it was decided not to
call Mr. Gerard at present but to give
i him an opportunity to appear later. No
■ date has been fixed.

RASPUTIN
Devil or Saint?
By the Princess Kadziwill
(Copyright. 1917. Public Ledger Ccmpany.
AllKigbts Reserved. >
\
A Warm “Tribute” to Itaaputin
“You all know,” said Mr. Goutschkoff
in this memorable address, “what a ter
rible drama Russia is living through at
preseht. With sorrow in our hearts and
with terror in our souls we have fol
lowed its developments, and we are
dreading its consequences. Standing in
the very heart of this drama we see a
mysterious, enigmatical, tragi-comical
figure, who seems to have come out of
the dark ages, which we believed had
passed away forever, into the full light
of the twentieth century. Perhaps this
figure is that of a sectarian of the worst
kind who is trying to popularize
amongst us his mystical rites; perhaps
it is that of -an adventurer seeking to
hide under the cloak of religious fa
naticism and superstition his numerous
swindles. By what means has this in
dividual succeeded in rising to such a
prominent position and in acquiring
such an influence which even the. d gni
taries of our church, together with the
highest functionaries in our state, ac
knowledge and which they seek to pro
pi tate?
“If we had had to do with only this
one figure which had made its way on
the field of religious superstition and
which has thriven, thanks to an exalt
ed spirit of mysticism, a state of mind
which, though not perhaps bordering on
insanity, is yet not quite normal, then
we should have said nothing. We might
have regretted the fact; we might even
have wept over it, but we would not
have spoken about it.
“But unfortunately this figure is not
standing alone. Behind it there is a
whole crew, strong and varied, unscrup
ulous and grasping, which is taking ad
vantage of its position and of the tal
ents of persuasion which it may pos
sess. Amongst this crew there are to
be found journalists in want of copy,
shady business men, adventurers of ev
ery kind and sort. It is they who are
the moving spirits in all this sad his
tory; it is they who inspire it, they who
tell it what it is to do. They consti
tute a kind of commercial enterprise,
and they understand how to play their
game in the most clever manner.
"Before such a spectacle it is our
duty to cry out as loud as we can that
one ought to beware of all those peo
ple, and that the church—our church—
and the country—our country—find
themselves in imminent danger, because
no revolution and no anti-Christian ro
paganda have ever done them more
harm than the events which are daily
taking place under our eyes for the
last twelve months.”
CHAPTER VXX (Continued)
TWO years later, in 1914. a few
weeks before the breaking out of
the present war. another deputy,
this time a clergyman. Father Fllonenko,
spoke about Rasputin in the duma, and
did so in the following strong terms:
“As a faithful and devoted son of our
holy Orthodox church, I consider it my
painful duty to mention once more what
has already been discussed here by so
many orators better than myself, and
to recur to a subject which is at pres
ent talked of at the corner of every
street, in every town and in every vil
lage, no matter how distant and how far
from any civilized center in our vast
empire. We find outselves compelled
to look upon this unexplainable influence
of a common adventurer, belonging to
the worst type of those sectarians whom
until now we have known by the name
of Khlystys, and despised accordingly.
We are obliged to reckon with this in
fluence of a man upon whom all the
sane elements in our society look with
contempt.”
Wherein the Menace of Rasputin Lay
On that same day another deputy be
longing to the group of ultra-conserva
tives. Prince Mansyreff. also spoke
about Rasputin, with perhaps even more
energy than any one had ever done be
fore in the duma. Said the prince:
"The adventure of Illiodore ended in
ridicule, but we have now in his place
another adventurer, with the personality
of whom are connected the most nefa
rious and disgusting rumors, the most
unnatural and contemptible crimes. It
is useless to mention his name; every
one knows who he is, and of whom 1
am talking. He has been let loose on
our society to acquire some influence
over it by men even more shameless
than he is himself; one has used him
to terrorize all those who have dared
to express their opinions against the cur
rents which prevail at present in our
administrative circles. This adventur
er, whenever he travels and whenever
he arrives in St. Petersburg, is met at
the railway station by the highest dig
nitaries of the church; before him pray,
as they would do to God, unfortunate
hysterical ladies of the highest social
circles. This individual, who only seeks
the satisfaction of the lowest Instinct
of a low nature, has introduced himself
into the very heart of our country and
of our society, and we find and feel
everywhere his disgusting and filthy, in
fluence.”
A few days after this memorable s't
ting of the duma the government issued
instructions to the press never to men
tion Rasputin's name or to speak of any
subject connected with him in the news
papers. As soon as this became known
the Octobrists put down on the crdey
>f the day in the duma an interpellation
on the matter, and Mr. Goutschkoff in
mov'ng it exclaimed:
“Park and dangerous days have ar
.l and the conscience of the Russian
>in h n has been deeply moved by the
< v its of the last few months, and is
.-nt sting against the appearance
: r.jrs' us of symptoms proving that
•• returning to the darkest periods
of 'o middle'ages- It lias cried out
;h ’linsrs are going wrong In our
sit'd that danger threatens our
ii • :ol> national ’deals.”
Pi, ice l.woft seconded the motion, and
<sked the government to explain who
was ’his “strange personality who ban
been taken under the special protection
>f the administration, who was cons’d
red as too sacred to be subjected to the
ritfeism of the press, and who had been
■ut upon such a pedestal that no one
vas allowed to touch or even to ap
roach him.”
I would no* have quoted these speeches
but for the fact that they all bore on
he same point, the one that I have
ried to make clear to the mind of my
readers. This point Is that the danger
which Rasputin undoubtedly persoin
ied in Russian society at large did not
-iroceed from his own personality, but
r roir the character of the men who sur
rounded him. who had made out of him
heir tool and who were trying through
urn to rule Russia and to push it into
‘.he arms of Germany. There is no
loubt that Germany had been carefully
'oilowing all the phases of the drama
* which culminated in the assassination
if ’he "prophet." and had been helping
*y her subsidies the underhand and mys
crious work of men like Mr. Mantisse
.vitsch Maniuloff and his satellites, and
ike "Mr. Sturmer. Sturmer believed
uite earnestly that he would secure Im
nortality for his name and for his work
f he contrived Io conclude a peace which
Cotton
NEW YORK. Jan. 14.—An irregular opening
was followed by renewed steadiness in the
cotton market today on covering and continued
trade buying. Some of the people who had
sold toward the end of last week on the in
troduction in congress of the bill to restrict
trading in futures, appeared to be among the
buyers aud there was evidently a feeling around
the ring that there was title probability of
drastic legislatuon. January was 15 points
higher at the opening while other months were
1 to 13 points lower, but prices very soon
rallied and before the end of the first hour
were about 10 to 12 points net higher with
March selling at 31.30 and May at 30.95. The
weather map was considered favorable and
showed some rain in the southwest. Liverpool

near months.
There was enough Wall street and western
selling to cause reactions of several points but
the market firmed np again before midday on
continued trade buying and renewed covering.
The western belt forecast for generally fai
weather in Texas seemed to disappoint some of
the early sellers, and stop orders were uncovered
on the advance which carried March up to
31.62 and May to 31.24. or about 35 to 45
points net higher.
After mildav the market was less active,
but in the absence of any increase in offerings,
prices held generally firm on the basis of
31.57 for March and 31.24 for May. Southern
spot market reports indicated that holders ware
refusing to make any price concessions.

NEW ORLEANS COTON
NEW ORLEANS, Jan. 14. —Moderate sellng
pressure, inspired to some extent by the con
tinued rains in Texas, caused a recession of
21 to 27 points around the opening of the cot
ton market here today. A fair demand sprang
up at the decline and the market recovered,
standing 1 to 3 points down, net, at the end of
the first half hour of business.
Continued firmness was reported in the spot
department and thia made for a better feeling
in contracts. In the trading up to noon prices
went 22 to 24 pointe over the last quotations
of Saturday.
In the trading up to 1 o’clock the advance
was widened to 24 to 28 points. Small buying
was sufficient to support the market.

CHICAGO. Jan. 14. —Corn prices eased down
n little today, owing to milder weather that
promised some abatement of tbe railroad block
ade. Opening prices, which ranged from un
et-anged to % lower, with January $1.27% and
May $1,254X1.25%, were followed by a slight
further decline.
The market closed unsettled at the same as
Saturday’s finish to %<A^A e lower, with Janu
ary $1.27% and May $1.2514.
Ots tended to weaken with corn.
