CAPITAL STOCK TAX
Return of Fair Value of Capital Stock
for the Fiscal Year Ended
June 80, 1918
Returns to be Filed With Collector of
Internal Revenue on or Before
Sept. 80, 1918
Especial to the Starr


Jacksonville, Aug. 22.-Comment-
ing further on the above subject the
collector of internal revenue, James
M. Cathcart, says that the new regu-
lations require every domestic cor
poration to make a return on Form
TOT regardless of the par value of its
capital stock. The fair average value
of the stock of corporation and the
tax payable thereon shall be deter
mined in accordance with the instruc-
tions in the form which provides for
statement showing the book value
of the capital stock, the market value
of the stock and the value of the stock
based on capitalizing the earnings.
All of the information called for in
the form must be given in every case.
The tax is not upon the par value of
the capital stock but upon its fair
average value for the preceding fiscal
year ended June 80, 1918.
A deduction from the total fair
value of the capital stock in the sum
of S99, 900 is allowed and the tax is
fifty cents for each one thousand dol
lars above that amount. Accordingly
corporations the fair value of whose
capital stock is not more than $685.
900 are not subject to any tax. How.
ever, for the PURPOSE of avoiding er-
rors every corporation must file a re.
turn even though the par value or the
| fair value of its capital stock does
not exceed $4,000.

FAVORABLE OUTLOOK
FOR THE FAIR
EVERYTHING IS AUSP|C|OUS FOR MARION
C0UMIY'S ANNUAL EXPOSITION

At meeting of the publicity COM
mittee of the Marion County Fair
Association this forenoon at the Office
of President r. S. Hall. many of the
details for this seasons fair were
gone into and the prospects are that
our fair will be far ahead of any
previous year.
Bumper crops all over the county
and the large increase of actual acre
age warrants the assurance that the
agricultural show will be larger than
ever, and that is saying good deal
in the fact of the excellent past per-
formances at our local fair grounds.
The attractions this year, besides
the big agricultural and horticultural
exhibits, are of different character
than those of former years and are of
such a nature as to draw large
crowds of sightseers from not only
the Immediately adjoining counties,
but from distant points in the state.
Contracts are now being let for re-
pairs on the buildings.
AS the live stock business has so
largely increased in Marion county
since the last annual fair it is only
reasonable to suppose that the ex-
hibits in this line will be fully double
that of former years.
The officers of the association are
giving their time and talents to the
making of the best fair that Marion
county has ever had, and when such
publicity men as Richard S. Hall and
Charlie w. Hunter get their heads
together on a proposition it is safe
bet that nothing will be left undone
to make it the biggest event in the
history of the county.

BONDED WAREHOUSE
FOR OCA[A
Possible that Our City May Secure an
Institution Most Favorable for
Its Business and Location

It's Business and Location
One of the most important move
ments set afioat for the betterment
of this particular section in many
months is one to secure for Ocala
bonded warehouse for the handling of
long staple cotton and other commod-
tiles.
Several of our prominent men,
whose names for the present are
withheld, are now in communication
with the treasury department in re-
gard to this bonded warehouse pro-
position, and as soon as the necessary
arrangements can be made the pro-
ject will take on definite shape.
With the unsettled conditions now
existing in the handling of the long
staple cotton of this section the pros
pect of bonded warehouse for Ocala
is an important event, and one that
will mean much to the farmers, many
of whom have not warehouse space
for storing their cotton.
