Lesson No. s on
Income Taxes

Numerous INQUIRIES have been re-
ceived by the bureau of Internal rev.
enue concerning depreciation and the
allowances therefore in line Hing OF Az
income tax return. The rate at which
depreciation may be claimed is depend
ent upon local conditions. 'the use 10
which the property is put and it's prob
able lifetime under normal business
conditions.
No specific rates at which 1t may be
claimed have been established. The
law states that a reasonable allow
ance" may be claimed including rea-
sonable allowance for obsolescence and
it is for the taxpayer honestly 20 de-
termine what constitutes n reasonable
allowance To compute the amount
which may be claimed, the taxpayer
should determine the probable lifetime
Of the property. then divide it's cost to
him by he number of years OF such
the am CUNT which may be claimed each
year as a deduction.
For example, q frame building the
probable lifetime Of which without re-
pair is twenty Ave years. cost $1,000.
Divide s., 900 by twenty-five and claim
5000 each year as depreciation. II is
estimated that the avrrag" lifetime OF
a frame building is twenty-five years.
brick building thirty five years and
u stone or concrete building fifty to 100
years. The estimated life OF ordinary
machinery is ten years and that Of
automobiles used for business or farm
purposes. four TO Ave years.
If a taxpayer claims the full amount
of depreciation he can not claim as
deduction the cost of repairs to the
property during the same year which
offset or make good the depreciation.
IL he wishes to claim deduction on
account OF repairs, their cost must be
deduct ed from the full amount Of de-
probation, and the balance may be
claimed under the heading OF .depre-
citation"
For example, il the taxpayer eN-
ponds 81 90 in repairs TO a building
which will depreciate $500 in value
during the taxable year he may claim
500 as n business expense and 500 as
deprec lat ion, or he may ella i'm 5000 Tor
deprec iation and nothing for repairs,
In short the aggregate deduction
claimed on account OF repairs and de-
prec:a ton must not exceed the fun
amount Of deprecated. Repairs" in
this connection means repairs ami re-
placements of a kind tending to make
good the depreciation such as new
flooring or new roof. Small items such
az replacement Of broken window
panes, paperins and minor repairs are
allowable, even tho the full amount Of
dcrr ecia,ion Ia claimed.
In claiming depreciation the follow
ing fundamental principles must he
observed
only such depreciation as -esnI.s
.:c:. exhaustion. wear and tear nf
property arising out OF its use in bus
mess or trade can be claimed Depre-
citation In the value of a home or prop
erty used for pleasure or convenience.
such as an automobile, can not be
claimed.
No depreciation Is allowed upon the
value Of land or upon good will.

PROHIBITION TO BRING
COMMUNITY PLAYHOUSE
Hazel Mackaye Advises Using Build.
lnos az centers for Drama, Com
munity Sings and Enter
tainments.

Why not turn the corner saloon into
q community playhouse when the law
effects the closing Of these gathering
places, asks Miss Hazel MacKaye, d.
rector of the Department Of Pageantry
and Drama Of the Rational Young Wo-
mems Christian Association?
II went over on the West Side Of
New York one night recently to attend
community drama meeting" Miss
MacKaye says in explaining her theo-
ry, "and as I was riding along noticed
how many saloons there re-one on
every corner and another in the mid
die Of the block, it seemed, all just
blazing with lights Those lights ought
not to go out with prohibition. They
ought to shine for something worth
while to all of the people, and what
better than community drama and
sings?"
Miss MacKaye feels that the war
has given great impetus to popular
interest in drama and that through
pageantry and drama great deal in
the way of Americanization can be eff
fected.
Through the community center, IL 1t
be in district populated largely OF
one foreign nationality, these people
could present pageants of the life in
their mother countries, translating
them into English, SO that Americans
and also the younger English speaking
members Of their household could I'M
derstand and appreciate their tradi-
tons. American art would be greatly
enriched thus through the drama of
all Of the nations whose peoples have
settled in this country. On the other
hand American ideals, American his
tory and American festivals, even laws
such as child labor and minimum wage
could be interpreted to these people
by means Of pageantry.
'Peopie have been learning not only
to work together, but to play togeth-
err" Miss MacKaye says, particularly
since the war, when the people stood
together in drives and large patriotic
community entertainments The OPP
portunity to build up great commu-
nifty organization is now at hand, and
the time is ripe for it. Why not utilize
the corner saloon?"
