EXTRA SESSION F CALLED WILL MEAN
 FLOOD OF BILLS
Decision on Important Fi- nancial Subjects Must Be Reached In the Near
 Future
By FRED II. GORMLEY
 Montgomery Bureau The Age Herald
 22f-2 First NatfonaI Rank Buildiru


 Montgomery May 1.-(Spec.al)-If Gov ernor Kilby reaches the conclusion that the revenues of the state will not be suf- ficient to meet the obligations since the supreme court has held that the income tax sections of the general revenue law of 1913 are invalid how will the legisla- ture find sufficient revenue to pay the states regular obligations and gradually to retire the floating obligations which have been accommodating since 1909? This is the big question faced by the state tax commission and the administration and the question which must be answered during the next few days
 In the first place there is possibility, not a probability, that the revenues of the state even without the income tax will be sufficient to meet the needs of the state during the next four years. But in figuring on this possibility it must be understood that it is taken for granted that the supreme court will hold that the tonnage tax sections of the revenue law are valid. On this subject there is grave difference of opinion, many attor- neys holding that the legislature exceed ed the limitations imposed by the con stitution when it imposed a license tax of cents a ton on all coal mined in
 
 all iron ore mined in the state.
 But accepting the tonnage tax as valid. the state may be able to get along with out additional revenue. The budget ot appropriations submitted to the lesisla- ture during the closing days provided S6o0,000 year from income taxes. This was lost by the decision of the supreme, court But in days gone by the convict department turned into the state easury as net revenue about $750000 a. year. JJn- der new contracts made during the ad- ninistration of Governor I<ilby the net revenue from this source should reach Si. 250000 and maybe $l,500,00o year. This takes up a good portion of the amounr lost by the income tax. Estimating that the net revenue from the convict depart ment will be increased s501,0o0 year, 1t may readily be seen that there is dlt- ference of only $10o000 between the esti- mated amount from the income tax, S6Vo,- 000 and the increase in net revenue from the convict department.
 Reports would indicate that there Will be some increases in the taxes from ad valorem assessments as a result of the work of the county tax adiusters. How ever it must be understood that this IS an unknown quality. Various methods Of appeals are provided by the revenue law

INVENTORY MAKES TAX FAIR
Farmer Will Find 1t To His interest
10 Have Income Returns On
Inventory of His Farm.

At the present time the farmers
are allowed to make income tax re-
turns according to two methods of
bookkeeping. First-receipts and
expenses and second: inventories,
receipts and expenses. According to
H. B. Munger of the farm manage
ment department at Iowa State Col
lege the second way. is better.
Until very recently only small
number of farmers took an inventory
of their property at the beginning Of
every year and for this reason it was
impossible for most farmers to make
basis than that of receipts and ex-
penses. 1t is to the interest of the
farmer, however, to take an invent
ory at the beginning and end of the
year and also keep a record of the
celptS and expenses. Such records
will enable him to make proper re-
turns for the income tax and in the
long run making returns by this
method will save the farmer money
as compared with the receipts and
expense method.
The reason for this is that when
making returns by the receipts and
expense method a farmers income
may be punched" on account of
his carrying over part of one years
products into the following year.
This may result in the higher sur
taxes becoming operative. If inven-
tories are taken each year and re-
turns made upon this basis each
that year. This tends to keep the
receipts from becoming punched"
and prevents the higher sur-taxes
becoming operative

Decline of Foreign Exchange Only
Serious Outlook.

Washington, D. C.-Great activity
in commercial lines, full employment
of labor at high wages, a resumption
of building and a large demand for
manufactures of all kinds are re-
ported in the Federal Reserve
Boards review of general business
and financial conditions throughout
The Board points out that the de-
cline in foreign exchange is regard
ed as likely to cause reduction in
exports and consequent readjust-
ment of domestic industry. This and
the industrial disturbances-which,
however, are subsiding- are the
only pessimistic notes in the report.
The Federal Reserve Board does not
discuss the reasons for the shrinkage
of foreign exchange, but financial au-
thorities are agreed that it is due in
large part to the delay in ratifying
the treaty of peace, and to the result
ant disquiet in Europe.
In several of the Federal Reserve
districts buying. is said to be on a
scale without precedent, and pro
duction in many places is falling far
short of demand. This tends to en-
nance prices and provokes some tim
facturers, who hesitate to commit
themselves far in advance. In the
report from one district there is a
note of warning against extravaganza
on the part of the public.
From several of the districts comes
information that the growth of bus
mess is more noticeable in terms of
dollars than in units of production.
In some sections the high prices are
producing curtailment of buying
power.
The housing situation has reach
ed a critical stage, the report says,
but this is likely to stimulate building
operations. The shortage is parti-
cularly acute in the Middle West Al
ready there is an increase in build
ing in Chicago. St. Louis and other
points in the Middle West and es-
Decially on the Pacific Coast.
