INCOME TAX NEWS
YOU WANT TO KNOW

In order to clear away misunder-
standings as to what constitutes de-
tendency, in connection with the ad-
ditional exemption granted income
taxpayers, Collector Of Internal Reve-
nue. Rufus W. Fontenot today gave
out the following statement.
For 1919 a taxpayer may be al.
lowed a credit Of $500 for each per-
son for whom he is the chief sup
port But it must be remembered
that he can claim this additional ex-
emption only with respect to chill
dren II years Of age or younger and
persons mentally defective, cripples,
and persons old enough to Be, with
out question, physically incapaeitated
for self support.
II the taxpayer contributes to the
support Of some relative or other
person who is over IN years Of age,
IN fair health and stin active, he can
not be allowed the additional 5000.
even if he is furnishing the chief sup
port.
The very different requirements
Of the two exemptions (''head Of a
family additional $1,000; depend
ent' additional 5000, must not Be
confused. To Be the ''head Of fam
lily" the person whom he supports
must be a close relative, must live
with him, and he must be such rela-
tive's sole support. To be entitled
to exemption for dependent" the
person whom he supports does not
have to be q relative, but can Be any
child or any cripple or detective;
the child or incapacitated adult may
live anywhere; and it Is necessary
that he furnish only more than half
Of the support.
The chief difference is that for
''head Of family" the restriction is
to close relatives, the evident object
Of which IS to promote the home; for
dependent the restriction is to chill
dren under Is years Of age, or per-
sons mentally or physically defec-
tive, the object Of which IS to recog-
nize material assistance given to
those who cannot help themselves.
A SON. who has left home, but who
still sends to his mother more than
half Of her support with enough reg
ularitg that she may depend upon Il,
can be allowed the additional 5000;
provided, however, that the mother
has become sufficiently aged to bel

torial race win open a field for as
pirants to seat in Congress and al
ready speculation has begun as to

Delos r. Johnson Of FrankIinton il
Of congressional caliber and has a
record that viii make him one Of the

larity and ability to represent this

Walter P. Cooke, who has been
president Of the Great Southern
Lumber Company and the New Or
leans Great Northern Railroad Com
pany for five years, and the presi-
dent Of the Bogalusa Paper Company
since its organization, has had very
great honor conferred upon him by
the finaneiers Of the city in which
he resides, Buffalo, N. Y.
About six weeks ago Mr.. George
F. Rand, chairman Of the board Of
directors Of the Marine Trust Com
pany, was killed in an airplane acct
dent in England. The Marine Trust
Company is the largest bank in the
state Of New York, outside Of the
city of New York. It has a board Of
directors Of twenty-four, and Mr..
Cooke was the unanimous choice Of
the board to fill the position made BY.
-hc death Of Mr.. Rand.
The assets Of the bank are about
one hundred million dollars, and Mr..
Cooke felt chat he could not give as
much time and attention to the de-
sails Of the Great Southern Lumber
Company, the New Orleans Great
erthern Railroad Company and the
Sogalusa Paper Company as they de-
served, neither did he want his asso-
eiates and the men who have worked
with him in making these companies
successful, feel that he was giving up,
his connection with them.
The directors of these three com
panies made Mr.. Cooke chairman Of
the board Of directors Of each com
pany and he win act in a general
supervising way over the affairs Of
the companies.
Mr.. Cooke is 50 much interested ii
the City Of Bogalusa and its people
that he said had things been other
wise arranged, he would feel like Civ
ing up his position with the Marine
Trust Company, as he didn't want to
separate himself from the people Of
Bogalusa and their interests. He ex-
poets to visit Bogalusa about the
middle OF February and win be here
several days.

Build Homes to Fit
Lumber Lengths

That architects could make the
building Of homes far less expensive
than the present rate is the belief Of
1. R. Putnam, director Of advertising
for the Southern Pine Association,
who returned Saturday from series
Of retail lumber dealers conventions
il the East, N6rth and Middle West.
This association is endeavoring to
educate architects in the standard Of
grading pins" Mr.. Putnam said.
Lack Of attention paid the lengths
and grades Of this important home
building lumber costs the prospective
builder needless money. II rooms
were made Of size to conform with
the lengths cut at the mill, there
would be no wastage Of lumber.
Wastage Of lumber is dangerous at
this time, when the natural resources
Of the timberlands are being reduced
constantly.
Building in the East is nothing
short Of marvellous. In Detroit
homes are being built at greater
rate than ever before, and at Flint,
Mich, there are acres filled with
new houses and homes under con-
struction. In Hartford, Conn, the
citizens have formed a company with
3 capital Of sS.0OO,O 900, which is be-
ing used for the erection Of homes
for factory employees, and are sold on
moderate terms. IN Oklahoma. there
have been more than 2555 homes
built since May. In Kansas City,
thousands Of new homes are being
erected"

tor Of the state Of Louisiana. left

penses. He win have several field
men under him who will run down
the violators Of the prohibition law,

learned. It win require a fairly
large force to get New Orleans un-
der control, it is believed, and posi-
bly, one man win be appointed for
each parish in the state.
On Mr.. Johnson's return here the

as wen as the time he will be in Of
flee, win likely be announced.

PHONE LINDSLEY IF
you SEE HOGS OUT

The hogs are loose again-or yet.
They are going to be kept up, as well
as the goats. Several years ago an
ordinance was passed to keep hogs
and goats off the streets. Since that
time there has a been a continual
stream Of protests to the city Off
Gals that the ordinance was not be-
ing enforced. Hogs have been roam
ing the streets was as much freedom
and liberty as the children. No one
yet has been able to see that the
ordinance was enforced. Tuesday
night a prominent merchant stated
that garden-making time was here
and that unless the officials would
give protection from the hogs and
goats that many people would not
make garden, just for the benefit
Of the hogs and goats.
Commissioner Of Safety and
Health Lindsey announced that his
department would see that the goats
and hogs were picked up as fast as
they appeared on the streets and he
that in the event you do not
get service in this department that
he would appreciate your calling him
personally. ssz

tries to B0galusa win be carried out. |
There are no changes in any of the
other officers Of the companies.

-Four Fires Dung
the Past Week

The Bogalusa Fire Department
justified its existence last week by
making four good runs, but in each
instance the fires were beyond con-
troll or the alarm was false. Where
there was a blaze it was held to one
place and no spreading was allowed.
The most serious fire was on We'd
nesday, when the store and market
owned by Bob Carson in Jewtown
was completely destroyed with all its
contents. just how the fire started
Is unknown. The building was
valued at $500 and the contents at
$500, making the $4,000 loss com
plete. Both the building and con.
tents were covered by insurance.
A four-room house, belonging to
E. ]. Dreyfus and located ii Jew
town, was destroyed with all its CON
tents. The family occupying the
place were away at the time and the
fire evidently started from within
the building and was so far advanced
when the alarm sounded that moth
ing could be saved. Mr.. Fitch and
family, newcomers to Bogalusa, lived
in the house.
A four-rOom house located 81
Long avenue, in Richardsontown,
was burned to the ground Sunday
night. It was the property Of M. r.
Dorsey and was unoccupied. The
fourth alarm came from Richardson
town also, A coloEed women over
done the matter Of starting 4 fire n
. fireplace By the use Of coal oil, and
the blaze ran SO high from the chin
ney that neighbOr sounded the
alarm. No damage was done and the
fire boys did not even connect the
hose.

Have You Sent
Check to M. Marx


II you have not sent your check
to N. Marx, treasurer Of the Jewish
Relief Committee, do 30 at once, as
several hundred dollars have been
allotted to Bogalusa to raise ii this
drive.
It is understood that no one will
canvass the city in behalf Of the
drive as everyone who will give will
ingly win do 50 without being solic-
tied. A number Of firms have mailed
their checks to Mr.. Marx and large
number are yet expected. Think Of
100000 children who have not had
a full meal in five year, who know Of
no home, no father or mother, who
when sick must wander about. Sun
pose that just one of these 500, 600
was your little darling, suffering
from hunger day after day. Think
Of those hours, days, weeks, months
and even years Of suffering. Surely
you will not let an opportunity like
this 60 By without digging deep into
your pockets. You can possibly save
life for s10-that amount will keep
a child for month. There IS no
need Of thinking it over, just grab
that check book and send it IN right
now to Mr.. Marx.

without doubt physically ineapaci-
tated for self support. Otherwise,
the amount contributed must be con-
sidered as q gift, not deductibIe e.
an expense and not emitting him to
the additional exemption, regardless
Of the amount.
A father may claim the exemption
for every child under Is years 81
age, but il one Of his children re-
eeives from some estate, on other
wise, sufficient distributed income to
provide for the expense 81 his sup
port il the station Of life II which
he is placed, the father cannot claim
the exemption with respect TO that
child, for, although the child is Tel
gally dependent upon him, he is, IN
fact, financially Independent.

BreIand to Defend
Southern Title

Alice IRELAND, the Magic City

his title IN the seven-mile Carnival
race in New Orleans on Saturday.
February IA. The Bogalusa boy cap
tured the title last year from a lsrge
field Of entries and holds the South
ern record for the distance BY several
seconds.
Now that Breland is in better
shape than when just discharged
from service, no doubt Bogalusa can
claim new Southern record through
the ability Of this lad.
There win be lots Of competition
this year and for sure. it win take
a speedy runner to win. Chicago
III, win be represented BY 3 good
man; there will be one from some
place in Canada, but just like the
magic Of Bogalusa, Breland win step
to the front and take first hOnors. "a
be sure.
Leroy Moore and Louis Gayer ara
two others competing from Bogalusa
and win no doubt make good. This
being a handicap race, they ought
to have no trouble taking the han

PLENTY OF FUN OVER
$4,000 SCHOOL BILL

Should any money Of the school
fund be expended for athletics?
Commissioner Of Finance E. R.
Cassidy thinks the school finances
should not be used for such purposes,
and when bin was paid last fan for
. trip to Bay st. Louis he registered
his objection. At the meeting Of the
Commission Council Tuesday night
another bill for s15O.2s was pre-
sented. Mr.. Cassidy objected to the
paying Of the bin.
Commissioner Of Education starns
thought that athletics should be part
Of the school work. A warm discus
sion followed.
"Childless men like you and nv
self can't appreciate the necessity
and good Of such work. said Com
missioner of Safety Lindsey to Com
missioner Cassidy. The Mayor wink
ed, the spectators laughed. The dis
cussion continued and City Attorney
Talley took swat at the claim. Any
way, it was an enjoyable argument.
Finally Mr.. Lindsey stated that
he was Of the opinion that a certain
amount Of the school fund should be
budgeted for athletics and that a few
hundred dollars would do much good.
That did not pay the bin. It was fin
ally decided to pay the claim out Of
the city entertainment fund, and ali
sides won the fight.
