GRAIN RECORD Of
DISTRICT GREAT
With N. p. and 500 Garry.
ing Powers, Marketing
Nearly Sixteen Millions

With approximately close to a mill
lion bushels of grain shipped of the
Dakota division Of the Great Northern
railroad since August I, and still Is a
considerable quantity Of grain remain
ing in possession Of the farmers and
in the elevators scattered over the di-
vision, northeastern North Dakota
should be in excellent financial condi--
ton.
The Dakota division comprises a to-
tai mileage of 458 miles, meaning that
each mile Oh the road has yielded ap-
proximately 24.035 bushels Of grain.
Shipping conditions in the north
west are regarded as very satisfac-
tory at the present time. Since the
farmers concluded their fall blowing
operations. roads have remained in
good condition, permitting the mark
citing OF grain to proceed uninterrupt-
ed.
The district that has yielded 10
100000 bushels OF grain for "
Great Northern also is tapped by tho
500 railroad, with a total Of 100 miles,
and the Northern Pacific, which al.
so has a like mileage. On the same
basis as the Great Northern. these two
lines have hauled out $4,000 0 BUSH
els from the district.
This would mean an aggregate O.
15,8O0.000 bushels Of grain already
hauled out Of a territory that COM
prises Grand Forks. Walsh, Pembina,
Nelson counties, and parts o
Trail. Cas-, Ramsey and Towner
counties.

DELAWARE'S SHARE
OF ROAD MONEY

Congressman Shakelford of Missouri,
chairman of the House committee on
roads, reported to the House, last week,
that the State of Delaware's share in
the S25, 600. 900 Federal appropriation
for good roads is S53, $50.
His committee reached those figures
on the basis of one-half in the proportion
which the total population of Delaware
bears to the total population of all the
States, as shown by the last Federal
census and one-half in the proportion
which the total number Of miles of rural
post roads in use in Delaware bears to
the total number of miles of rural post
roads in all of the States, as shown by
the POstmaster-Genera s report at the
close of the second quarter of the last
preceding fiscal year.
In his report, Chairman Shackelford
says: : Whatever doubts may have at
one time existed it is now quite generally
conceded that the general government
has constitutional power at construct
and maintain First, post roads second
military roads and third, roads used in
the transportation Of interstate COM
merce.
ION the general principle that the
greater contains the lesser it follows
that the general government may aid
the States and local authorities in the
cons struction and maintenance of such
roads. To what extent it is expedient
that these constitutional powers should
be exercised presents a question of
some difficulty. Since the road subject
is still in the experimental stage this
has deemed it wise to limit
this measure to most roads
Roads are local concerns and prima-
rily it is the duty of the States to pro-
vide them for their people.
ITO carry and deliver the mail is a
junction of the Federal government and !
t is the duty of the Federal government /
% provide itself with the facilities neces- /
iary to a proper performance of this 1
junction, such as pOstmasters, pOstOf-
ices and post roads. A post road is just
IS truly postal facility as is a postof-
ice as in most rural communities it has
,een found less expensive and more e.
,edient to rent postoffices than to build
hem, so it would be less expensive and &
more eXpedient to use the roads of the Z.
,tates and local authorities as post roads
han it would to construct and maintain
n independent system. In such case it
1ould seem but just that the general
Overnment should make some contribu-
ion to the construction and maintain
nee of the roads which it thus uses.
I'm time past when the volume and
reight of postal matter were eglible

I you raise its value on your books to
/ Sll 900, the $1,000 becomes returnable
income, exactly as it would be a profit
to be included in income had the prop
erty been sold for Sll, 900 and the profit
been realized.
This same principle applies as to in
vestment securities or to dealings in
bonds and stocks, cotton. grain or other
things. If you speculate in any of these
things, the same holds true. Say you
had certain stocks on February 26 last
and still held them, whether owned
outright, or carried on margin, on jan
uary l. In such case, the dividends, if
any, would be income, which, however,
would be taxed exempt. and such interest
as you paid could be deducted from your
gross income.
Now, suppose those stocks are worth
more or less at the end than at the be-
ginning of the period In neither case
does that enter into the return you make.
But, if during the period you sold any
of them, then the profit actually realized
must be given as part of your gross
income, or if there was loss, it can be
deducted from such income.
WHERE IT AFFECTS FARMERS.
Farmers must count as income their
total receipts from all things sold. From
such gross income they may deduct the
cost of animals where they were bought
as of steers to be fattened. The farmer
may also deduct as proper expenses of /
production. wages and all producing
cost, including expenses actually incurred
in the upkeep of buildings and equipment .

Property holders generally can claim
deductions for all taxes of every kind

Tres or storms and not compensated

formal depreciations or wear and tear
# property. When such deduction is
made the expenses of restoring such
property cannot be claimed as futher
deduction.
