WORLD BREAKS
RECORD DEMAND
FOR j. 6. COTTON
Spinners Rush to Get Stock Of
Raw Material and Rise in
Price Follows.

MEMPHIS, April denomination
Of the worlds cotton spinners in their
efforts to get as much of the raw
material supply as possible, with the
consequent elevation Of prices. has
been the chief feature of the market
during the past week. Developments
still point to the largest consumption
of American cotton on record, al
though there have been used several
hundred thousand bales more of other
kinds than usual. For some time it
has been practically certain that min
imum figures on consumption would
be 14.750,000 bales, and during the
week the International Federation Of
Spinners. an Organization composed
of spinners in all countries using cot
ton, issued a report in which it was
said that at least 1j.050,00O bales of
American would be consumed. The
same report said that these spinneHs
had in stock about 300,0 bales less
of American than at this date year
ago. making the statistical position
even stronger than had been thought.
Shorts Cover Freely.
The report of the British Board of
Trade, showing large excess in eX-
y
ing March from Great Britain as COM
pared with a year ago, also lent con-
firmation to bullish consumption fig
ures and belied some of the private
claims OF unsatisfactory trade.
The speculative market has had an
upward tendency and shorts have
covered freely, especially in the old
crop months Recent buyers have
supplied most of this demand. Talk
of much higher prices has been plen-
tiful but as yet there has been no
evidence Of any bull leadership that
would indicate a speculative cam
paign,
In the belt spot quotations have
worked higher. and sellers have main
tanned an independent attitude, feel
ing confident Of their position. The
fear of successful hammering of
prices through the contract market
and delivery of low grades has almost
been eliminated, thanks to progress
in legislative programs and the
change of the New York exchange
contract and many expect to see flu
lures in that center work to their
proper level compared with the ac-
Jual in the belt.
New Crop Slow
Demand for spots has come chiefly
from buyers under contract TO spin
ners, though new orders have not
been lacking. Low grades have con-
/ tinued in improved demand and the
unsold supply has dwindled rapidly,
for receipts have fallen off consider
ably.
The new crop has not made the
progress hoped for and complaints
have been quite plentiful There were

News of Finance, Industry, Crops, Commerce
Income Tax Mtricdcies
Puzzle Farmers Most
Mass of Detailed Computation Necessary fol-
Rural Man to Figure TaxableHunds.

WASHINGTON, April 11.-Worse
than the tabled riddle of the Sphinx,
more tangled than the Gordian knot,
the intricacies of the income tax have
befuddled financial brains in all sec
tions Of the country, and the Treas
ury Department is practically swamp
ed by the flood of letters which daily
pour i'm to inquire concerning some of
the more abstruse points of the law.
To the layman who does not have to
pay the income tax the fact that his
richer brethren have TO contribute !
per cent of their incomes above $4,000
Cor $4,000 if they are married and
living with their wives) TO the sup
port of the Government does not seem
to be so intricate But once man
tries to compute his actual income
the difficulties present themselves In
neVer-ending row.
Task Is Appalling.
To the professional man who lives
on steady salary there is not much
trouble, but to the lawyer who must
make returns of the fees he has col
lected, to the doctor who must in
form the Government of the bills
which have been paid him, TO the
merchant who must take into account
a thousand and one different items in
computing his profit for the year, the
task is an appalling one. complicated
by the fact that the man who makes
a false return of his income is liable
to be imprisoned for perjury.
But there is another class of busi-
ness man for whom it is even more
difficult to determine the exact in
come and the precise amount OF the
tax which he must pay to the Gov
is, the farmer.
Farmers Task Hard.
Realizing the obstacles in the path
Of the tiller of the soil who Is fortu-
nate enough to make over $4,000 a
year (for most farmers are marrled)
l recently made inquiries at the
Treasury Department concerning this
class of income tax, and found out
number of interesting things con-
corning it.
In arriving at his net income, !
was told the farmer should start
With his gross income, only the for
mer being taxable, however. HIS
gross income would consist of all
items which would add to his per-
sonal profit, particularly all receipts
from the sale of products of every
description from the farm. This
would include all money received
from produce and animals sold, and
for the wool and the hides of animals
slaughtered, if the latter are sold; but
the farmer may deduct from these
items the amount actually paid as
purchase money for the animals sold
or slaughtered during the year. When
Atlanta Georgian. [volume] (Atlanta, Ga.) 1912-1939, 1914-04-12

animals raised by the owner are sole
or slaughtered, however. their value
should not be so deducted.
Taxable Assets.
From the gross income there should
be deducted amounts Of money ac-
tually paid as expenses for operating
the farm and producing the farm
products live stock. etc, This would
include farm labor and supplies that
are necessary to carry on the bust
ness and are not investments that
represent principal. Expenses for re-
pairs on farm property may also be
deducted, provided the amount taken
off does not exceed the amount ac-
tually spent for such repairs during
the year for which the return is made.
The cost of replacing tools and ma
Chinery may also be deducted TO the
extent that the cost of the new artt-
cles does not exceed the value of the
old.
No deductions may be made for the
cost of additional farm machinery,
but credit may be allowed for the an
nual depreciation in the value of such
machinery. For example, if ma
chine cost 500 and is regarded as
good for ten years Of service, the an
nual depreciation would be 10 per
cent and deduction of $40 each year
could be made on this account as part
of the expense of operating the farm.
Family Expense Included.
It must be remembered. however,
that the expense of supporting the
family can not be deducted from the
gross income. Among items for which
credit is not allowed are medical at
tendance, life insurance insurance on
dwellings, store accounts, family sup
plies, wages Of domestic servants and
cost Of board. room or house rent for
family and personal uses. In case an
individual owns his own residence he
can not deduct the estimated value of
his rent. But a tenant operating a
rented farm as proprietor may deduct
the rent of the farm as a part of the
expenses of the business
Farmers are not required to include
in their income the produce taken
from the farm and consumed by the
family Only produce sold off the
farm is to be included. A farmer is
not entitled to a deduction for his
own labor or for expenses of feeding
live stock He may, however, deduct
such items as cost of fertilizer and
other supplies and materials which
are used in the course of his opera
tions.
Uncle Sam, having passed his in
come tax law. intends to see that it is
carried into effect, for it will deduct
from the revenues of the we'll to- dc
and contribute to the good of the
poorer classes, thus working for real
democracy

TOLD
RAILROADS WILL
GET RATE RAISE
President Wilson Is Reported as
Believing Industrial COndi-
tons Justify Advance.

WASHINGTON, April 1.-The In
terstate Commerce Commission prob
ably will grant the Eastern railroads
substantially what they ask-a s per
cent increase in freight rates.
This is the information given to
small group of Senators most closely
identified with interstate commerce.
According to their information, the
testimony laid before the commission
has been convincing that unless the
increase is allowed, the receipts Of
rearly all of the roads involved will
make it practically impossible for
them to produce earnings that will
justify the payment of dividends.
Wilson Approves.
President Wilson, it is understood,
believes conditions justify the in
crease. 1t viii be remembered that a
few weeks ago the President had a
conference with Commissioner. Clark
then chairman of the commission.
The President made no suggestions to
Clark, but it is no secret that in his
talks with other public men he has
strongly minated his belief in the
business of the demands of the rail-
roads
There is one phase Of this ques-
ton that has been brought sharply to
the attention of the President, al
though it apparently has played no
part in the hearings before the COM
mission.
President Wilson and Secreatry
McAdoo are discouraged over the
Treasury situation. The income tax
falls short of official expectations. Re
ceipts under the new tariff law are
disappointlng and Expenditures are
piling up daily. with every prospect
of a huge deficit.
U. S. Finances Short.
Meanwhile. Congress is passing ap-
preparation bills that promise to eX-
coed those enacted by Republican
Congresses in the heyday of the
PAYNE ldrich high tariff
With receipts Iessening and eXpen-
ditures growing, the people complain
ing that the tariff mas not lowered
/ the cost OF living, railroads laying OF
men by thousands in all sections o.
| the country and threatening loss Of
dividends. the industrial situation
may soon affect the political situa-
ton.
It is the fear OF bad times that has
led public men and the President to
lcok with favor upon the application
of the railroads, on the theory that il
the railroads are in fun operation
other lines of industry viii receive the
reflected benefit and hard times may
be prevented
According to all reports, cold mat
ters of dollars and cents are worry
ing this Administration quite as much
as Mexico and other foreign prob
lens.
