the Constitution was adopted. They extend." the Court says, from the horse with the rider to the steam boat to the railroad, and from the railroad to the telegraph"
 In 1844, when telegraphy was but an experiment, Congress made an ap- propriation looking to it's acquisition for the postal service. In 1845 and 1S46 Postmaster C Ceneral Cave John son recommended that it be made a part of the postal monopoly. From the time of the inauguration of the first line of electrical communication in 1S44 until 1S47 the only lines in exis' ence were owned and operated by the Government. The transfer to private ownership was made on ac- count of the indisposition of Congress at that time to provide means for it's operation, and the transfer was op- posed by the Postmaster General.
 Henry Clay in 1844 said of the in. fant telegraph service: "It is quite manifest it is destined to exert great influence on the business affairs of society. In the hands of private in dividuals 1t will be able to monopo- lize intelligence and perform the greatest operations in commerce and departments of business, think such an engine should be exclusively un- der the control of the Government
 By the Act of Congress July A, 1886, which is still in force, provision was made for the United States to hold an option tt the purchase of telegraph properties at an appraised value at any time. Government own ership of electrical communication has never been made a party ques- ton, but has been recommended by nearly every Postmaster General since the civil war It is supported by Charles Sumner, Hannibal Hamlin, President Grant, Senator Dawes, Sen ator Chandler, Senator Edmunds and | many of the leading men of both parties Among the Postmasters Gen.

K R-The new revenue draft bill now under consideration pro- vides that there may be allowed a reasonable deduction for the amor tization of such part of the cost as has been borne by the taxpayer of buildings, machinery, equipment or other facilities constructed or ac- quired on or after April $, 1917, for the production of articles contri- buted to the prosecution of the
 war.

 chances are that you will be proper
 ly compensated for your loss upon cancellation of contracts. If you are
 compensated for your loss, then, of
 course, this compensation becomes
 part of your income and the cost of
 the property may be charged against it
 CONSTANT READER.-Under the circumstances I believe 1t would be advisable to close your books on the basis of fourteen months, but you ! must make an income tax return on | a pro-rata basis for the year. That is to say, if your profits for fourteen 1 months are s14,000 you would return | in your tax statement 12-14 thereof | or SIP, 900. That, of course, must be | dcne in a proper manner, showing in full why and how you arrived at this 1 figure, and why you take your in
 ventory on a different basis now. This answer, however, I must qual- | fly with the statement that it makes a difference whether you are a corporation, an individual ,or CO., partnership. If you will let me know your exact status, I will try to give you more complete information In regard to the inventory, Sec
 ton POS of the proposed new Rev enue Act provides that whenever n the opinion of the commissioner the use of inventories is necessary in or 1 der to clearly determine the income l of any taxpayer, inver tories shall be l taken by such taxpayers upon such | a basis as the commissioner, with the approval of the secretary, may pre- i scribe as conforming as nearly as may be the best accounting practice l in the trade or business and as mos1 ] clearly ref1ecting the income"
 At the present time this sectior
 has not been enacted into law. and
 am unable to say what rulings will be promulgated under that sectior by the commissioner of internal rev enue.
