TAX DODGERS BEAT
 UNCLE SAM OUT OF MILLIONS YEARLY
Enormous Sums Charged. of as "Los- ses" Through Medium Of Wash Sales on Stock Exchange in Times of Depression.

Disclosures of the income tax frauds perpetrated on an extensive scale all through collision between corpora tions and expert accountants have served to call attention to some of the expedients adopted by the very rich to evade payment each year of a sub- stantial portion of their obligations to the Government.
 By means and devices which ap- pear on their face to be legal but which in the majority of instances, are immoral and dishonest, millions of dol lars a year are withheld from the Col lectors of Internal Revenue by these men and women, acting on the advice agency of shrewd and interruptions lawyers. The clause by which these evasions are most readily accomplish ed is the following section of the new revenue law.
 LoophoIe in Law.
 Deductions allowed-Losses sus- tained during the taxable year and not compensated for by insurance or otherwise, if incurred in trade or bu- siness.
 'Lossess sustained during the tax able year and not compensated for by insurance or otherwise, if incurred in any transaction entered into for profit, though not connected with the trade or business; but in the case of a nonresident alien individual only as to such transactions within the United States.
 Losses sustained during the tax able year of property not connected with the trade or business Out in the case of a nonresident alien indivi- dual only property within hte United ed States) if arising from fires, storms shipwreck, or other casualty, or from theft, and if not compensated for by insurance or otherwise;
 Debts ascertained to be worthless and charged off within the taxable year;
 "A reasonable allowance for the exhaustion, wear and tear of prop erty used in the trade or business, including a reasonable allowance for obsolescence."

GEORGE CLARK OF MORENCI
 WINS. SCHOLARSHIP

Word was received by George Clark last week that he had been awarded the County Scholarship for Greenlee County that are being award ed by the University of Arizona at Tuscon. This scholarship amounts to $50O.OO and will carry the student all through the University for one year. George Clarke was born in Morenci and has received all his education in it's public schools. While in High school he made very good record having completed the course in three years and with a very high average in his studies.

instances the saving amounts to small sums, but in the aggregate it runs away up into millions. It is not un- common for members of the million aire class to include in their stable a half dozen cars, whose total value frequently runs up to $7O,G0 or, ESQ.,
 900. It does not take many Rolls Royces to total up to that figure. Now, according to the Worlds in- formant, the method used to take ad- vantage of Section 214 is for the own CT of these cars to transfer them to his lawyer or some complacent dum-
 my just before the end of the calen-
 dar year for cominal consideration,
 say for $10,000.. The bill of sale is
 soberly made out, the money may or may not actually pass, but usually it
 does, and there you have a transact
 ion, legal on it's face at least, that suit of tax dodgers as Big Bill'' Ed
 wards, can hope to successfully at tack in the courts.
 Yachts Too, are "SoId".
 It is obvious that by such methods some of our rich society folk can readily reduce their tax liability by $60,O0 or S70,000 every year. Then, after the close of the calendar year, they cause the property to be trans ferred to them, and they can retain them until the taxpayer comes around
 the following year.
 Manipulated by Mines
 'In the case of mines, oil and gas wells, other natural deposits and tim Der, a reasonable allowance for de- pletion and for depreciation of inn provements, according to the peculiar conditions in each State, may be made.'
 Some of the great copper and oil interests have placed the most liberal interpretation on this clause and have taken advantage of it to an almost limitles degree. In the case of some
 of the big copper companies millions have been charged off each year for ore taken out of the ground. In other words, instead of being an asset the
 ore thus mined has become liability. In the case of one big South American
 company, which is owned in Wall Street, more than $4,OOO,OO0 was charg
 ed off last year for depletion of ore re-
 serve, leaving only about 30 cents
 earned on the stock, and yet this con- pany calmly paid dividends of s4 a share on the stock. When this mat
 ter was called to the attention of one
 of the directors he admitted that the expedient was adopted to offset income tax requirements.
 | It has been reported that Commis-
 sioner Roper has been quietly investf-
 gating several cases of this character
 and that later on the Government may ] institute suits against various corpor- ations and individuals who have avail
 ed themselves too lberally of this pro-
 vision of the law.
