there might be some question as to
whether gross profits" or gross
earnings" would embrace such items.
Tax on Profits Intended.
A great amount of adverse criti-
cism of this law is due to misappre-
hension of the proper definitions of
these terms. The opinion was adj
vanced that because gross income"
was not gross profits" it must be
gross receipts" and that, in the same
way, because met income" was not
net profit it meant met receipts"
An examination of the law however,
will show that if gross income means
gross receipts the statutory deduc-
tions therefrom would not leave net
| receipts, but would leave merely an
arbitrary sum. 1t also appeared from
calculations that if these interpreta-
lions were given to the law from mer-
camille and manufacturing companies
alone the amount of tax received
/ would be many times the sum which
was estimated to be collected from all
corporations, joint stock companies,
and associations of whatever nature.
1t is clear therefore, that the pur-
pose of the law is not to put a tax
on receipts. but a tax on profits; and
that the terms gross income" and
met income" are used because, while
they are practically identical with
gross profits" and met profits" they
are yet more embrasive and conse-
quently permit more comprehensive
administration of the law

Is feet in.depth and the water,
which is soft and very palatable,
rises to within six feet of the sur
face.
1t is indeed gratifying to see SO
many of our citizens adopting the
plan of having drilled wells. 1t
is the only sure and safe plan to
avoid contagious disease. The
strata of water being struck by
these drilled wells is to be found
at an average depth of 70 feet. 1t
lies in sandstone, is soft and of an
exceedingly good quality. Invar-
iably it rises near the surface,
showing that if the wells were
sunk SO or 100 feet further down,
that water would flow out over the
top of the ground. This is GER
tainly an almost certain sign that
artesian water could be had with
out very much trouble.

Amatuer Theatricals.

The Misses Della and Irene
billiard, the young sisters of Mrs.
w. P. Hays, who are here spend
ing the summer with her, have a
taste for writing and acting plays.
These two young ladies, assisted
by Susie Forney and Nell and Sue
Anderson, gave a performance in
the second story of the Hays log
barn last Friday afternoon. The
play was entitled "What Came of
Hunting Eggs" Boxes with slabs
on them served for seats. A box
at either corner accommodated
two small people. The price of
general admission was 3 cents, but
the box seats were 5 cents each.
The drop curtain WAS a blanket
stretched from rafter to rafter.
You climbed a ladder from the
ground, or went up thru the hole
where they threw hay down to the
horses.
There was a large audience of
small people who were very much
impressed with the performance.
Candy and lemonade were sold be-
tween acts and the box receipts
amounted to S3.95. The actors
entered the stage via the hay hole
mentioned before. Miss Bertha
billiard, an elder sister acted as
prompter and scene shifter. The
play lasted almost an hour and
the acting was of the best There
was nothing stacy or stilted about
the acting, but all was as natural
as real life. The girls all display
ed a great deal of talent; they are
simple and unaffected in speech
and manner and we are unable to
imagine a more healthy way for
young girls to employ their time,
tho we imagine such things must
draw pretty heavily on the house

heavily for parapharnalia.
