PRESENT VALUE AS
 INVENTORY BASIS
MAY USE LOWEST PRICE
Ruling of Much Importance to Ner- chants is Announced by Internal
 Revenue Department.

Little Rock Dee, 33.-The local ln- tornai revenue office is receiving in- quiries from dealers over the state as to how to take inventories for wind ing up the years business. and fig uring the income tax.
 Because of the fact that the cost is higher this year, and the market low CT. merchants are asking whether they will be allowed to estimate the in- come tax on an inventory of stocks, based on the lowest price or price of replacement in this case The internal revenue officers say that the ruling is the dealer may do so, provided he has taken his inventory on the lowest price since 1918, and not on the cost. In 1918 and the year following, the cost was lower and the market price higher, and this is the first year, it is said, that this question of cost and market had demanded attention.
 "The question of taking inven- tories" said A. V. Smith, chief clerk in the office of Internal Revenue Col lector Jack Walker, "has suddenly be- come very important on account of the recent slump in prices and the fact that dealers everywhere desire to take their losses on their income tax returns for the present year instead of waiting until such losses are re- alized by sales.
 "The ruling which is frequently re- ferred to in this matter was made sev- eral weeks ago by the internal reve- nue bureau and simply says that any person who did not have an opportu- nity to select the cost or market method in 1918 may now be allowed to do so.
 "It is fact that practically all dealers have been invoicing their stocks at the lowest price since that date, and this practice is entirely con- sistent with the taking of stocks at this time at the market price if this is the lowest.
 Persons who desire to exercise their option of taking stocks at the lowest price, cost or market, should iildhS dppilCdllpl Dy teiNcI u lic Iol- lector of internal revenue explaining what their previous practice has been.
 "Of course, it will be impossible to get out replies to all these requests before stock taking time We are, therefore, advising every taxpayer to take his inventory in two columns, one column for the cost price and the other for market or replacement price. Any taxpayer who takes stock in this manner and preserves his inventories may make out his income return on the basis of the market price and need not fear any complications with the revenue department"
 The new returns on incomes for the year 1920 are being prepared for mail ing, said MT. Smith, Returns for cor porations will be released January 3. A blank form will be sent to every corporation in the state. The blank returns for individuals and partner ships will be mailed out within the next few weeks. These blanks are not to be released until they are ready to be mailed to all taxpayers at the same time, but they will be gotten out as soon as possible.
