Johnson is a big, strong, well pro-

with Burns, the moving pictures Of

Statements of Business Trans

Filed Before March |

Local firms have received from the
treasury department at washington
elaborately prepared regulations rela-
tive TO the payment of the corporation
tax. This tax was made part of the
new tariff bill. 1t requires the pay

Collections. will be made through the
internal revenue department. State
ments must be filed before March l of
next year and must contain a COM
plete summary of the business done
during 1909.
The regulations have been drafted
with the idea of causing the least pos
sible interference with ordinary COM
merciat methods. No set system of
accounts is prescribed, but the depart
ment insists upon a. lucid method Of
book keeping.
For the purpose of administering the
law. the 100000 corporations of which
the department has record will be
divided into five classes, as follows;

service, (c) industrial and nanufaetur-
ing. Id mercantile, (e) miscellaneous.
The regulations explain that all re-
ceipts must be included in gross in
come whether from subsidiary invest
ments or from stock holdings in other
corporations. Provision is made by
which the latter will not be twice

The elucidation of the penalty clause
shows that the government retains it's
faith in the honesty of corporations.
The causes of inaccuracy will be

it will be corrected if possible, and
even if not corrected in one year, it
would more than probably correct it

is discovered, vigorous prosecution will
follow. This bureau feels that in deal

lations are drawn sufficiently rigid to

STOCK MARKET PRICES
SHOW SOME ADVANCE
Favorable Deductions Are Made
From Presidents Message

NEW YORK, Dec. 12.-The stock
market made favorable deductions last
week from the presidents message and
the reduction in the Bank of England
discount rate. A considerable broaden
ing out OF the speculation and conf
prehensive advance in prices followed.
There was conspicuous revival,
with stimulating effect, of rumors of
various financial consultations, in
cluding one of copper producers.
There can be no doubt that the forced
attraction of gold to the London mar
ket. due to aggressive measures of the
Bank of England. operated to interrupt
financial and speculative projects In
New York.
The shortage of cotton implied by
the government report is almost
caiamitous The large acreage planted
in winter wheat gives some counter
balancing comfort.
