same about $500. No new building
has been erected; simply making nee
essary repairs on old ones. Can this
amount be deducted from my gross
income, the same as the taxes, In max
ing my returns to the government I'M
der the income tax law?
Aft the value of your property has
been increased in the sum of $500 by
the repairs made, you may not make
the deduction. The charge of $500 Is
excessive for depreciation clearly ex-
tended over period Of years; to mass
all the allowance for depreciation TN a
single year under the head of repairs,
would be obviously unfair.
OIL bought piece of property In
1909 for $4,000 and sold it in October,
1918 for $4,000 Is this profit taxable
under the new law?
Alt will take ruling by the de-
partment to which I have submitted
the question, to decide this. I think,
however, it is taxable. If you had an
$4,000 building which was destroyed
by fire this year, and your loss was not
compensated by insurance, or other
wise, you would claim the loss as a
deduction. Isn't 1t only turn about to
tax you on your profit? 49,.
Q.-Is everyone required to make a
statement or establish his exemption,
If he be exempt under tie law?
A.-No; only those whose net in

Q.-This bank Is cOpartnersnlp OF
private bank; some shareholders live
in other states. Should the officers OF
the bank withhold the tax or should
each partner make his own return.
A.-Your private bank will not, as
bank, make return under the income
tax law, it being partnership. The
partners themselves, having each net
income exceeding $4,000, will make
separate individual sworn returns.
Q.-There are three members OF this
corporation and we wish to know
whether or not we are required to pay
the corporation tax as heretofore, and
also a tax on the income from this
property above the prescribed amount.
A.-Your corporation is required to
pay the NORMAL tax of one per cent up
on it's entire net earnings, with no 3d.
600 deduction as heretofore. This is
all the tax you will have to pay. On
dividends exceeding 100000 less deduc-
tons to which they may be entitled,
individual members Of your corpora
ton will have to pay an additional
tax of one per cent on the amount OF
income exceeding $4,000 received by
them. You will make no deduction OF
the tax on dividends, which will have
been paid in your tax on net earnings.
Q.-How is a man for the purposes
of the income tax to Keep track OF his
expenses as well as those Of his wife?

Heart toHeart
Talks
BY JAMEs A. EDGERToN

WHY THE WORLD GROWS BETTER.
People go up a hill by marching and
climb bling.
The world is constituted Of the peo-
pie who are In 1t. We are among these
people, and the world il what we col
lectively, make 1t.
If the world is growing better, as
we so often hear, 1t Is because we are
making it better
Are we individually doing our part?
Can we each Of Us say, 81 left the
world a little better for my being
hereY'
If not, we are a hindrance rather
than a help to mankind.
That is about the worst thing that
can be said of man.
1t convtcts him of getting something
for nothing.
He receives the advantages Of civil
zation. culture, free government. en-
Iightenment, great inventions, religion,
art, literature, humane institutions and
general advancement.
The only way he can make repay
ment for these blessings is by adding
something to them.
He cannot pay the past. That Is
gone. But he can pay the future.
This Is the course of life.
We repay our parents for their care
of US by our care of our own children
If we shirk, we are getting some
thing for nothing.
Here is a story of some people who
are doing a very definite service tG
make the world better:
The Babies Welfare association O.
New York city recently reported that
the death rate Of infants under one
year old had fallen in the past year.
During the year 1912 there were
14,2S9 deaths Of such infants as against
1903 the previous year.
Yet the births in 1912 exceeded those
of 1911 by 1851.
The decrease in infantile mortality
was due to the work Of eighty socie
ties banded together in a common cam,
paign.
We may not be able to work in the
same way, but every one of US can
work In some way to make things bet,
ter.
That is the way to pay our debt for
the blessings we enjoy.
That Is the way to balance the &C.
count and be square with the world.
