WHAT is INCOME?
Amy Form of Compensation for Person
al Service.

This il the answer OF the bureau OF
internal revenue to frequent inquiries
as to what is to be included in the fl
ing of income tax returns under the
head Of compensation for personal
service" Such amount includes salar,
les, wages, commissions paid statesmen,
amounts received on the basis of per
centage of profits, commissions on in
surance, premiums, tips, and profess
sional fees. All Of the above items
must be included in the return a. gross
income, Direct expenses incurred in
the earning of such sums are allowable
deductions in arriving at net income
upon which the tax il assessed.
Compensation for personal services is
not limited to cash payment. Living
quarters, board and lodging, rent and
other benefits allowed in lieu of salary
is income and the fair value of such
benefits must be included in the return

eurity for such payment constitute in
come to the amount of their fair mar
kct value
A travelling salesman working on a
commission is allowed to deduct his
railroad expenses but the cost of his
hotel bills is not an allowable deduc-
ton because it is a personal living ex-
pense.
If, working on a salary, a salesman
receives a per diem allowance, any ex
cess over his actual living expenses is
taxable income. Congressman and 9th
ers who receive mileage allowance for
railroad fare are required to return as
income any excess Of such allowance
over their actual expenses for such
fares.
The taxable income includes also
amounts received by retired workers as
a pension from former employer since

varies in density that fourteen

only two inches at another will both
produce when melted two inches Of

To illustrate the great destruction
of property resulting from floods in
the Ohio and Mississippi valleys,
those of 1881 and 1882 eliminated
in loss Of about S15,O0O,00O to
property and 1873 lives. In 1884 the
region of the Ohio alone experienced
damages amounting to loss of more
than $10,000,OO0. Along several big
rivers in 1897 the loss exceeded $685.
100000, and in 1903 destruction
amounted to about s40,000,O00. AS
the result Of the warnings issued a
week in advance of the occurrence of
the food in 1897, livestock and other
movable property to the estimated
value of 100000 was removed
from the flooded area prior to the

emphasized in a still more remark
able degree. The warnings were is
sued from four days to three weeks
in advance, and they were fully YER
flied as to date, location and stage.
In many localities the stages were
the greatest ever known, and in no
single instance did the predicted fig
ure differ from that actually regis
tered by more than four-tenths of a
foot, the average being two-tenths
Of a foot. The property saved by
these timely warnings no doubt ex-
ceeded that of the food of 1897.
Seasons for floods vary with To-
cality. Along the lower Mississippi
they occur in February and March.
and sometimes in January, while
along the upper banks they may be
deferred until May or early June.
Missouri foundations hold off stii.
later; those of the Ohio occur any
time between February and June;
in New England, with the spring
rains in connection with the thaw-
ing out of the accumulated snow and
ice; and the Columbia River floods
set in about May and June, due to
the late thaw in the mountains Of
the Pacific slope. The rivers Of our
East and Southeast are subject to
overflow at any season except au-
tumn, but floods are, as a rule. more
severe when they come in August.

that Of rivers in mountainous re-
gions, where their flow is rapid. The
rise Of great, slow-moving rivers,
such as the Mississippi, Missouri and
Ohio, are forecast to within the
narrow margin of from one to three
inches. At New Orleans this is
done regularly, and the meteorolo-
gist three weeks in. advance will
forecast, say, q rise Of twenty three
feet above low water, which he
knows will result in a rush Of l.
100000 cubic feet Of water past his
point each second, and still, with
such a rushing torrent Of water to
work on, he can always hit the mark
within a few inches. This is done
over all sections Of the country SUBJ
ject to inundation.
But how is all this accomplished
and with so much precision? The
country has been divided into GER
tain river districts, with more than
500 sub-stations equipped with river
gauges. The readings Of these in
struments are telegraphed daily to
district centers. Additional rain

main stream, and the time required
for the passage of the food crests
from one city to another. Along
the upper Mississippi people have
short time to remove their prop
erty after warnings are issued,
while those near its mouth have
plenty Of time to prepare for the
expected food. A high water takes
one day to pass from Pittsburgh to
Wheeling, two days from Pitts
burgh to Parkersburg, three days
from Parkersburg to Cincinnati, six
Gays from Cincinnati to Cairo,
seven days from Cairo to Vicksburg
and four days from Vicksburg to
New Orleans, making twenty-three
days from the "Smoky City" to the
Gulf Of Mexico. At Pittsburgh
eighteen hours is the longest range
Of flood advice possible, and along
other rapid running rivers of the
Atlantic and Pacific slopes one or
two days warning is all that can be
given.
Flood stages differ with locality.
