There was an additional $4,000 out

The qlestion is-How will these items
affect each partners Income Schedule.
Now the law states that salaries and
commissions and other forms OF COM
pensation for services are considered
income when received. regardless of
when earned; also that living quart
ers, board, lodging. rent or expenses
allowed in lieu of salary is income.
The law is clear that accounts receiv-
able are to be listed as income and
Furthermore states that partnership
gains are income when earned,
whether distributed or not. Therefore
the answer to the above condition is
that each partner must determine the
include the amount as part of his
income. Each partner must also in
count which in this case is $500 and
one-half of the accounts receivable
which again in this case is $1,000, as
gross income. in addition to the
$1,000 drawn out during the year
which we stated in our example.
"These cases are merely illustrative
of how fair and indiscriminate the in
tention of the law is. 1t has been esti-
mated that the United States this year
will raise twenty percent of the War
Revenue from war taxes. This is
considerable larger percentage than
obtained in any of the European
raising a small proportion of it's war
revenues by taxation because its taxes
before the war were almost more than
the people could bear; and Germany
expected to win the war and collect
from the conquered nations a big. in
demnity with which to meet the bond
ed debt it was piling up. By raisinga
large part of the war expenses by tax
alton, the United States will be in a
good financial condition after the war
Is over, ana also READY TO nelp In
building up the devastated countries
of Europe.
Business generally is likely to con-
tinue to be good. but it will constant
ly readjust itself to war conditions.
The more generally this fact is recog-
nized the better it will be for business
men and for the nation. However
heavy the tax burden may appear to
corporations and individuals, the fact
should always be kept in view that
the needs of the Government and it's
allies come first. The nations re-
sources may be taxed to their utmost
to meet these necessities, and people
should acquiesce in undertakings
which have for their object the sue
cessful prosecution of the war.
The Allies of Europe have had to
bear a tremendously heavy tax burd-
en-, and the people of the United
States can be equally patriotic and
efficient in the present emergency"
