he letter and spirit Of the law.

the letter and spirit of the law.
In an effort to avoid confusion and
the making Of amended and other COM
|plicated reports for previous years,
which in some cases will be practical
ly impossible for the taxpayer TO fur
nish, your committee offered three sug-
gestiOn$ as follows:
by including in the opening In
ventory (a) only such products as
were on hand at the beginning OF the
previous year, and o. such as were
purchased during such previous year
and for which no deduction had been
iclaimed.
BY filing amended reports for
1917 and succeeding years and COM
putting the tax at the rate imposed
for the respective years.
3-(a) BY paying tax on inventory
basis with all items included in the
opening inventory and CD by paying
i'm additional or separate tax begin
ming at the minimum rate on an
amount representing the Inference
between the opening inventory therein
rot previously deducted for income
tax purposes; provided, however, that
the additional or separate tax so paid
in adjustment is not less than the adj
ditional tax to be paid under sng
gested method No. 2 above.
Accounting Methods.
The accounting methods of the
farmer do differ from that Of other
businesses for this reason, that the
accountant demands cost and de-
probation on capital assets. But since
from the beginning Of agriculture in
this country farmers have buildings,
fences and drains. as their capital as
sets in the strictest sense of the word
and all other personal property as hav-
ing quick tangible value which we
will call market value, less cost of mar
keting as their stock in trade, they
wish to include in their inventories all
of those items. including stock of all
kinds, and machinery used in the bust
ness.
This method clearly reflects the
actual income or profit and possesses
the merit Of being absolutely fair to
both the taxpayer and the depart
ment.
The board of appeal and review
holds that If the farmer will establish
Il system of accounting and. boOkkeep-
ing practical for his business which
does actually reflect the income that
they will be willing to recognize that
system as an equitable system of re-
porting.
This committee recommends that rs
many change from cash to the inven-
tory system as can do so without be
ing required to pay on any amounts
which were tax free when earned, as
the inventory method seems to be the
only equitable and satisfactory method
|of arriving at income for purposes of
taxation. The farm accounting book
has been made with this thought in
view and to conform to Il system Which
could be recognized by the department
as accurately rejecting the actual prof
it Of any taxable year.

There are ABOUT Z,ZOU persons qutl!-
fled to participate in the primary and
the opinion prevails around the polls
that about 1900 votes will be cast
From the time of the opening of II
pollsc this morning. the election has
been active. The early vote was want
ed and it was obtained by the va
rous candidates.
The race for mayoralty honors is
paramount. 1t is the chief center Of
attraction. The three candidates arc:
Capt. Albert Bryan, James M. Duncan
and w. ]. McCaffrey.
The candidates and their friends
have been around the polls since they
opened this morning and a large
number of motor vehicles have been
employed in bringing the voters to
and from the polls.
The rivalry has been unusually
keen and although there has been no
disorder at any of the voting places,
it being simply a good natured fam
lily affair.
The polls will close at 6:36 o'clock
this evening and, between now and
closing tinie many more votes are ex-
pected to be cast.
Not in recent years has such great
interest been displayed as there has
in this contest which was inau-
gurated several months ago. The va
rious candidates since they threw
their hats into the ring have been
making Il quiet and active canvass.
A number of the candidates for
'common council also have made cam
vass and in some wards there Is a
warm fight for honors for council, this
