Since President Wilson has made
the peace treaty main issue of the
campaign, it must be admitted that he
suffered two rather severe Set-backs
in the state primaries of last week.
In Nebraska, William Jennings Bry-
an, advocate of reservations, was
elected a delegate to the convention in
San Francisco, despite the utmost en-
deavors of Senator Hitchcock and the
administration forces to keep him at
home. The prohibition question en-
tered largely into the fight, for Bryan
had declared his intention of putting
a bone-dry plank in the Democratic
platform and of routing the faction,
led by Governor Edwards, which IA
vors the modification of the prohibi-
ton legislation so that the use of mild
ly alcoholic drinks may be restored.
Hitchcock had openly sided with the
Edwards view. The Peerless One does
not intend that his party shall side
step the matter. The result in Nebras-
ka was affected by the action of vast
numbers of women who, though not
formerly active members of the Dem
ocratic party, registered as Democrats
so as to vote for Bryan and dryness
Senator Hitchcock was given the
states preferential vote for the presi
dency, whatever that may be worth.
The other blow to the administrator
forces was delivered by the Democrats
of Georgia, where support of the pres
ident and his peace treaty policy was
the main issue. To be sure Attorney
General Palmer, leading the Wilson
contingent and standing for uncondi
tional acceptance of the treaty, wal
victorious but Senator Hoke Smith

the treaty and league covenant, to

Secretary Bakers Report.

Careful attention will be given L
the recommendation which are fea

tary of war and there win be little dis
position toward haste in decisions o.
such permanent and far-reaehing i'm
portance. That this aspect of the cast
has not been fully appreciated by Sec
rotary Baker is perhaps to be inferred
from some of his arguments for com.
pulsory military training;
/ "It Is difficult to believe that an
army could be formed Of Americans
educated in our common schools, raised
in the free and democratic atmosphere
of our institutions, which would still
be hostile to those institutions and lib
critics. The world war has shown quite
clearly that armies reflect the spirit
OF the people from whom they come
rather than create a spirit of their own,
50 that the size Of the army is not 50
important from the point of view now

Of an army"
But whatever the world war mayhayc
shown, the evils OF authorization had
manifested themselves in Europe long
before. and did much 70 make war in

entertained in regard to it by countries
which have lacked experience. In its

Universal military training may or

that is question of the grsyest char

But it would be wrong and mischiev-
Gus for any country to adopt it under
the impression that il is not danger
Gus. or that any country can be sure Of
immunity from the evil effects which
the system has had elsewhere. Mild
as a proposed system may be in the be
ginning, the demand for efficiency leads
in the long run toward militarism. The
term of service which experts at first
grudgingly accept comes TO seem RI
dieulously inadequate; the halfyear
becomes year, and the demand for
grand scale maneuvers grows. In the
history of Europe all these things are
written and no man is omniscient
enough to guarantee that they will not
occur in the new world. This j. among
the reasons why the adoption ofNs per

INCOME TAX PROBLEM
More Difficult for Business Man Than
for Salaried Man.

To the person whose income is de
rived from business, the problem OF
making out correct income tax return
is greater than that presented to the
salaried man.
Business enterprises may be divided
into three classes those engaged in
making. those engaged in producing
and those engaged in trading. To these
may be added another class those
which do not produce, make, or trade
and which may be designated as bust
ness services, such as transportation
storage, laundry, livery and garage
service. In such cases the gross in
come would be the total amount earned
and received.
To reflect net income correctly and
TO ascertain gross income. inventories

Annual Inventories Necessary.


The inventory should include raw
material and supplies on hand that
have been acquired for sale or Use IN
production, together with all finished
or partly finished goods. 1t should in
clude merchandise sold but not billed
TO the customer at the date of the in.
ventory, and any goods out upon con
signment. unless such goods have been
included in the sales for the taxable
wear. 1t should also include nerchan-
disc purchased. although not actually
received, to which title has passed TO
the purchaser
Inventories may be taken either on
the basis Of cost" OF cost or market z
whichever is lower. Either method
once adopted must be followed each
year. unless permission TO change is
obtained from the commissioner OF in
ternal revenue.
How to Compute Inventories.
In computing net income a merchant
may find his profits on the following
basis:
First ascertain the gross sales and
the other items of gross income. such
as interest on bank deposits and mis-
cellaneous items. Then add together
the inventory at the beginning of the
year and the cost of goods purchased
for resale. From this sum subtract the
inventory at the end of <he year, and
the result is the cost of goods sold.
This cost, plus necessary business ex
penses, is to be deducted from the gross
sales and other income and the result
is the net income OF the business. Typ
ical deductible business expenses are
for salaries. labor, cost of merchandise.
raw materials and supplies. rent, re-
pairs, light. power, delivery, selling
cost, advertising and insurance.
No special system of accounts i pre-
scribed by the bureau of internal rev
enue. but the books should show in de-
tail inventories, purchase, sales. cap
ital investments. depreciation and sim
liar items required in making mp the
income tax return.
Accounting System Urged
Aside from the necessity OF keeping
systematic accounts in order to comply
with the governments requirements,
every progressive merchant should
adopt an approved accounting system
for the good of his own business. says
of Internal Revenue Dan
iel C. Roper In no other way can he
further his financial interests more eff
