OVER SEVENTY MILLION
DOLLARS EVERY DAY

Atlanta, Ca, Jan. 23.-Three mil
lion dollars an hour is the stupen-
dous sum realized bv the farmers of
America on the sale of cattle and
the Georgia farmer is every year get
ting an increased share of this great
income.
Many economists have long con-
tended that there is more money IN
the raising of cattle and hogs in Geor-
gia than in raising cotton Whether
this be true is open to question, but
there is no doubt that the industry is
paying big returns to hundreds OF
farmers who have gone into it sys-
tematically and scientifically, taking
all modern steps to improve their
breeding and protect their stock.
The cattle tick, the hog cholera
and the running at large of cattle
and hogs are now the worst enemies
of live stock industry in Georgia.
Through it's agencies the state is
fighting the cattle tick and the hog
cholera and slowly but surely is con-
ouering them. The last named enc
my of live stock industry will not be
conquered until the owners OF cat
tie and hogs realize that the waste
is too great to be tolerated. Prac-
tically nothing is saved from the car
cass of a steer or a hog killed on
railroad track or by an automobile
on a public road.

would be useful, and the cost of the
property is the basis for the compu-
tation. If the property suffering de-
probation was bought or acquired
prior to March 1, 1913, the market
value as that date is used, instead of
the cost, in figuring depreciation.
Contributions or gifts actually
made in 1918 to organizations for
religious, charitable, scientific or ed
ucational purposes, and to societies
for the prevention of cruelty to child
rem or animals, may be deducted, to
an amount not exceeding Is per cent
net of the income computed without
benefit of this deduction.
"After the total of all income is
found, that the deductions allowable
by law have been computed as an
offset, the amount of income in ex-
cess of such deductions is the net in
come, which forms the basis of the
assessment of tax.
eff every person in this District
will examine his own 1913 income
and allowable deductions, in line with
the data that l have given, he will
know beyond doubt whether he must
file his return when the blanks ar
rive. And here is how he will deter
mine his liability to file return. If
he is single he must file if his net
income was 81 900, or more, and this
requirement is enforced whether or
not he is the head of a family. If
he is married, he must file his return
if his net income; including that of
his wife and minor children, was So,
900, or more.
81 want to emphasize the cooper
alton feature of the collection of the
Income Tax this year. The policy of
the Internal Revenue Bureau is to
aid taxpayers to meet the require
ments of the law. We are going
right to the people, not to swing clubs
or to mulct the wage-earner of his
savings, but offering every helpful
governmental function that will as
sist people to do their duty"

NOW UNDER WAY

as the basis of taxation. 1t is clearly
the duty of every person to compile
correct figures and ascertain whether
his income for 1918 was sufficient
to make necessary sworn return.
''The year 1918 was banner year
for salaries and wages, and the high
war prices brought unusual profits
to the average small tradesman, and
especially to the farmer. The opinion
in Washington is that a million citi-
zens and residents will make their
first income tax returns this year.
'All signs indicate that the income
tax this year will reach nearly every
working man and woman, and nearly
every merchant, shop keeper and
farmer. Not all will have to pay the
tax, but nearly all will be obliged to
make a sworn return of the years
income.
81 am, therefore, advising every
unmarried person who earned 1000
or over during the year 1918, and
every married person, who together
with wife or husband, earned $4,000,
to sharpen his pencil and figure out
how he stands.
He must ascertain accurately his
gross income from all sources There's
his salary or wages, including over
time pay and any bonuses received as
additional compensation. A married
person having children under 10 who
are working should include the earn
ings of such children.
''If he sold any property at a profit,
the gain must be enumerated and in
cluded in gross income. If he rented
any property to other persons the to-
tai rents received in the year must
be ascertained, and from that figure
a deduction may be taken for taxes
paid on rented property, the neces-
sary minor repairs fire insurance, and
any interest he may have paid on
mortgage, and reasonable allowance
for annual wear and tear of the rent
ed property. The balance is included
in gross income for the year.
Interest on bank deposits, whether
withdrawn, or added to his bank bal,
anecs, must be included IN all calcu-
lations of income. Bond interest re.
ceived during the year must also be
included, except interest on municipal
county or state bonds. Interest or
United States bonds need not be in.
cluded by the ordinary bond holder
who purchased small amounts. Hold
ers of large amounts of Liberty bonds
however. should ask their bankers tt
write to my Office for the rule ap
plying to tax on such interest.
Dividends on stock shares are in
come, and must be included in the
gross figures, although the law does
not impose the normal tax on dis
tributions made by domestic corpor
ations.
"a person buying and selling mer
chandise must find his profits for th'
year on the following basis: First

ascertain the gross sales or total cash
receipts. Then add together the in
ventory at the beginning of the year
and the purchase of goods for resale.
From this latter sum subtract the
inventory of goods on hand at the
end of the year, and the hesult is the
cost of goods sold. This cost, plus
necessary expenses incurred solely
through conduct of the business, is
to be deducted from gross sales, and
the result is the net earnings of the
business.
"a professional man arrives at his
professional income by ascertaining
the total of fees for services and de-
Quoting there from all expenses con-
nected directly and solely with his
practice.
"a farmer must figure up all in
come derived from the sale or ex-
change of products during the year,
whether such produce was raised on
the farm or purchased and resold.
He is al lowed to deduct from his
total expenses of the year connected
with the planting, cultivation, har-
vesting and marketing of the crop,
or the care, feding and marketing
of live stock.
"He is not allowed to deduct the
amount expended in 1918 for the
purchase of stock for resale, but when
such stock is sold it's cost is to be de-
Quoted from the sale price in ascer-
tanning the gain to be included in his
return of income The cost price of
stock bought prior to 1917 cannot be
deducted as in the case just cited, if
such cost was included in the deduc-
ton made in the year of purchase.
"The farmer is not required to in
clude in his income tax computation
the value of produce consumed by
himself and family. But in cases
where he exchanges produce for mer-
chandise, groceries, ETC., the market
value of the articles received in ex-
change must be included.
"AIl other items of income arising
during the year through personal ser
sonal service, business or trade, or
through use of property or money,
should be added into the gain for
1918.
Everybody wants to know what
income is exempt from tax. Very
few plums that fall to the average
man may be legally disregarded in
figuring up his 1918 income. Gifts
and requests can be eliminated; also
proceeds of life insurance received
by the beneficiary of an insured per-
son. A person who cashed in an en-
dowment policy need report as in
come only that portion which exceeds
the total of the premiums he paid in
all years on that policy. Annuties
are not taxable, unless the person re-
ceived in the year payments which
represent, when added to all prior
payments on the annuity, an amount
greater than the original cost of the
annuity. Dividends on uneXpired
life insurance policies are not taxable
income; but dividends on paid up pol

Reinstate 225 Men of
Hollidaysburg Shops

Success has crowned the efforts
of the committee representing the
furloughed Pennsylvania railroad
shopmen at Hollidaysburg, who
went to Washington to enter a pro-
test with the federal railroad ad-
ministration, and according to a
communication received yesterday
morning by John n. Drass, secre-
tary of the Hollidaysburg Chamber
of Commerce, from the assistant
director general, the men laid off
on February 8 and II, about 225
will be reinstated.
1t is quite probable that there
will be material reduction in the
number of working hours or days
per week.
1t was stated yesterday that the
standing of the men with reference
to the relief and future retirement
and their other relations with the
company particularly with reference
to passes. will not be affected by
their furloughing.
The reinstatement of the shop
men will make it necessary to make
some changes in the operating
policy. Very little traffic has been
hauled over the New Portage and
Petersburg lines since the Inaugural
ton of the economy policy OF the
company and in order to provide
work for the men reinstated it will
be necessary to divert more of the
traffic to these lines again.
