DECISION OF THE COMMISSIONER OF IN
TERNAL REvENUE-THE TAX ON SMOKING
ToBAcco.-Otice Internal Revenue, March
%, lS69.-Sir: Your letter of the 18th in
slant has been received. You state that
leaf tobacco in its natural state-that is,
neither stemmed nor butted-being put
into cutting machine, is cut up-butts,
stems, and all. 1t is then run through o
riddle or sieve, and the heavier or thicker
portions Of the stems, with part of the leaf
still attached, are separated from the finer
portions of the leaf. These thicker por-
tons Of stem are again run through the
same cutting machine or through another
riddle, by which it is made as small as that
portion OF the leaf which had previously
passed through the riddle; and having
been thus broken or cut up small enough,
it is mixed with that portion of the leaf
which first passed through the riddle, thus
completing smoking tobacco made of leaf
with all the stems in, no portion of the
stems excluded; but all butts, stems, and
leaf, mixed in one mass.
Tobacco manufactured in the manner de-
scribed by you implies g separation of the
stems from the leaf, and renders it possible
for the manufacturer, whenever he pleases,
to put upon the market class of tobacco
containing more or less of stems at plea
sure. | am, therefore, Of opinion that
tobacco thus manufactured is liable to q
tax Of thirty-two cents per pound. Yours,
respectfully, 7. HARLAND,
Deputy Commissioner.

Internal Revenue Decision.
OrFrcE OF INTERNAL REVENUE,
WASHINGTON, February II, 1869.

WASHINGTON, FEBRUARY II, 1869.
sir,-I reply to yours Of the 4th instant
relative to the deduction by you in estima-
t;no your income Of the cost Of lumber
used in making tobacco hogsheads, the cost
nj manufacturing same, the expense Of
shoeine horses and mules with new shoes,
amounts paid for screws, taps, bolts, pillow.
castings, etc., for repairing implements and
teams, that where the sales Of tobacco in.
cludc the box OF hogshead containing it, in
cost of the hogsheads or boxes may be de-
Quoted If never before deducted from some
previous return. This does not, however,
contemplate any deduction for labor Of the
taxpayer or that Of his minor children.
If a sale of tobacco does not include the
hogshead, no deduction should be granted,
and when included, the assessors must be
satisfied, before allowing deduction, that
il has not been allowed, as an expense of
business or otherwise, In some former re-
turn.
The deduction by the farmer Of the ex-
pense Of shooting his horses and mules
which are used by him in the prosecution
of his business should be governed by the
same rules. Nothing can be allowed for
his own labor, or that of minor children.
If farmer performs this kind of labor for
others, receiving pay therefor, he should
return the "profts" Il. e., the difference
between the receipts and cost Of materials
and hired labor as income. 4.,a
So much may be deducted for expense of
"usual and ordinary repairs" as is neces-
sarily expended by the taxpayer in keep
ing his various kinds Of property in IS good
condition as they were when purchased by
him. So much of the cost Of screws, taps,
bolts, plowshares, etc., as is necessarily
incurred by the taxpayer in keeping his
tools, implements Of various kinds. and
teams, in the condition above stated, is de-
ductible, but nothing more.
Old and useless tools, implements, etc.,
may be replaced by new of the same gene
ral character and value, and the cost of
same deducted. If, however, anything is
realized from sale Of that which has been
replaced it should be returned as income.
