EXTENSIVE PROGRAM OUTLINED
FOR MONTANA DEVELOPMENT ASSN.

Plans which include a statewide edu-
cational campaign to be carried on by
the Montana Development association
were formulated at the meeting of the
board of directors in Bozeman Mon
day and Tuesday of last week, and
preparations are now being made at
the general offices of the association
to carry out this program with as lit
tie delay as possible.
Capable speakers are being added to
the associations staff and these men
will be sent to all parts of the state
to address meetings of farmers and
laborers on topics which are of vital
interest to them and to the state.
This work will be in furtherance of
the associations "get together" pro-
gram as outlined by the directors on
Tuesday and is designed to bring about
a more cordial understanding among
all classes, to the end that they may
be enabled to work in concert for the
betterment of conditions within the
state.
The directors also recommend to
the members of the association that
they cooperate more fully with the
newspapers, attend meetings of farm
ers and laborers, studying the prob
lens of each. A more liberal CAM
paign Of advertising is also urged upon
the members of the association.
1--WE have no desire to enter into
partisan politics." declared the direc-
tors, "but we recommend that our
members take an interest in politics,
as all good Americans should do, with
a view to placing better men in office.
We are unalterably opposed to men
who create political issues prejudicial
to the best interests of the state for
their own personal gain"
The practicability of a plan to aid
the drouth-stricken farmers of the
state was discussed at length and the
$4,000, 900 school bond issue and the
road bond issue also came in for care
full consideration. The sessions were
p%rotracted and an immense amount of
detail work in connection with the
activities of the association during
the coming two months was accom-
plished.
The directors decided that an ag-
gressive membership campaign should
be launched among farmers, profess
sional men and travelling statesmen.
According to plans already formulat-
ed, the work of the association will
be along broad lines looking toward
the development of the state and fost-
ering all worthy public projects which
will aid in its upbuilding.

each year. The principal point in con-
nection with such accounts made in
income tax procedure is that there
can be no allowance for such bad
debts in returns figured on the "cash
basis" That is, a person who has
been making his annual returns on the
basis of cash received and actual cash
expenditures each year, has never
shown as income his accounts with
patients or clients, and is, therefore,
not entitled to take them out of in
come.
On the other hand, a person who
annually figured his gross income on
the "accrual basis" that is, included
his cash receipts and charges against
patients and clients for all of his SER
vices performed during each year, is
entitled to a deduction for 'bad debts"
covering such accounts as he ascer-
tanned during the year were uncol-
lectable and charged off on his books.
An account merely written down
or a debt known to be worthless prior
to the beginning of the taxable year
is not a proper item for deduction.
Wear and Tear.
A reasonable allowance for the wear
and tear and obsolescence of such in
struments and equipment, ETC., is al
lowed. The proper allowance is that
amount which should be set aside for
the taxable year in accordance with
a consistent plan by which the total
of such amounts for the useful life of
the property will suffice, with the SAL
wage or scrap value, at the end of such
useful life, to provide in place of the
property it's cost or its value as of
March l, 1913, if acquired by the tax
payer before that date.

INCOME TAX FACTS
YOUSHOULD KNOW

plies to fees received by ~notaries pub
lie commissioned by states, also the
commissions of receivers appointed by
the state courts.
AS to fees for services to clients,
patients, ETC., these should be includ-
ed in the gross income for the taxable
year in which received, unless they are
included when they accrue to him in
accordance with an approved method
of accounting followed by him.
Cash Basis.
A professional man may make his
return on the basis of cash intake and
actual expenditures for the year. It
should be noted here that a taxpayer
is deemed to have received income
which has been credited to or set apart
for him without restriction.
Accrual Basis.
A more exact and equitable method
of figuring net income is on the sac
crual basis" This means a computa-
ton on the basis of income earned
and expenses incurred, whether paid
or not, that actually pertain to the
taxable year, excluding income earned
and expenses incurred in previous or
succeeding years. A professional mar
who keeps books of account should
make returns by this method, if his
accounting method is one generally
employed and shows a correct net in
come.
Deductions.
A professional man may claim as
deductions the cost of supplies used by
him in the practice of his profession,
expenses paid in the operation and re-
pair of an automobile used in making
professional calls, dues to profession
al societies and subscriptions to pro-
fessional journals, the rent paid for
office rooms, the expense of the fuel,
light, water, telephone, ETC., used in
such offices, and the hire of office
assistants. Amounts expended for
books, furniture and professional in
struments and equipment of a perma-
nent character are not allowable as
deductions.
In the deductions from gross income
the law specifically bars personal liv-
ing or family expenses.
In the case of a professional man
who has a regular place of business
n who rents a residence, but Incl
dentally receives there clients, patients
or callers in connection with his pro-
fessional work, no part of the rent at
ms home is deductible. If, however,
ne uses part of the house for his Of
flee, each portion of the rent as is
properly attributable to such office
is deductible.
Bad Debts.
The uncollectable bills of profess
slonal men, particularly doctors, dem
lists and lawyers, have a very import
ant bearing on the net earnings for

Rules for Professional Men.

Figuring income tax is an easy job
for the professional man, says James
A. Walsh, the new internal revenue
collector. By education and training
he is accustomed to drawing up state
ments. He has records of transactions
involving income and keeps we'll in
touch with his expenditures.
Just what he is allowed to deduct
as professional expenses in figuring
his net income is what he wants to
know each year as the tax season
arrives. Therefore a review of the
items in general is given.
Returns for 1919.
The present income tax law requires
that returns for 1919 be filed on or
before March Is, 1920, at the office
of the collector of internal revenue
for the district in which the taxpayer
lives. At least one-quarter of the
tax due must accompany the return.
An unmarried person must file a
return if his or her net income was
$1,000 or over; and a married person
living with wife Tor hunsband) must
file if their joint net income was 81
900 or over. A widow or widower, or
a married person living apart from
wife Tor husband) is classed as a single
person.
The requirement to file a federal
income tax return is not contingent
upon there being a tax due.
Form 1O40-A used for net income of
not more than $4,000; form 1O4O for
net income over $4,000. Instructions
and a working sheet accompany each
return form.
Every firm of professional men op-
Grating as a corporation must make
an annual return of net income on
Form 112O; if operating as a partner
ship, a return on form 1865 must be
filed.
Gross Income.
An individuals gross income from
a profession includes all compensation
for his services.
When services are paid for with
something other than money, the fair
market value of the thing taken in
payment is the amount to be included
as income. If the service were render
ed at a stipulated price in the absence
OF evidence to the contrary, such price
will be presumed to be the fair value
of the compensation received.
In the case o ia salary received, this
should be shown separately, in block
b of the return. Many professional
men and women-lawyers, medical
examiners, teachers, accountants, ETC..
are officers or employees of a state,
or a political subdivision of a state,
such as city, town or county. Their
salaries or wages as such officers or
employees is exempt from the federal
income tax. The exemption also ap-

meeting of the board of directors will
be held in Billings April 5.
Things They Believe.

A representative of one of the farm
ers' organizations Of the state recent
ly wrote to the general offices for a
statement of the associations stand
on a number of questions. The fol-
lowing excerpts from President Sell
vidge's reply set forth clearly some
of the principles to which the board
of directors subscribed:
"Our organization is founded on
the basis of a fair deal for everybody.
We do not believe in class legislation
or class agitation. We propose to en-
courage our members in every way
possible to assist the farmers of Mon
tana, financially, socially and other
wise. We propose to see that insofar
as we are able to do so the farmer
shall have the same kind of a square
deal that the merchant gets.
eve believe in property rights and
are very frank to say that we consid-
er the future of the farmer depend
ent upon the maintenance of this prin-
ciple. We shall, with all force pos
sible, fight any person or institution
that advocates class hatred and
breaches nonsense of this character in
free America.
Business Must Be Protected.
"We believe that the growth of COM
munity centers and the advancement
of Montana have been largely due to
the money and energy expended by
business men up to this time, and we
shall contend that Montana's future
advancement demands hat legitimate
business enterprises shall not be dis
eliminated against by legislation or
preachmeHt. We believe the term
business enterprise" embraces the
business of farming. We will en-
courage better agriculture and better
business methods on the farms.
"We believe that the common cause
of Montana's advancement is one in
which every right-minded citizen
should be interested, and that we can
get farther by the cooperation of all
interests than by antagonism and
strife.
"We have faith in Montana and the
republic. 1t is our ambition that Amer
lea shall continue to be proud of Mon

A Man Who Stands Alone

Already, one hundred and eleven
years after his birth, fifty-five since
his death, legend has made Abraham
Lincoln her own. The myth has been
referred to primitive centuries, to the
uncritical, u~nscientific ages. Never
theless, the worship of greatness by
the masses of men has been trans
forming the hero of our own time into
the demi-god of mystery.

POLAND ONCE THE SAVIOR
OF EUROPE

Poland, whose history is tragedy
and whose people have been called
"Children of the SUM-" plays no new
role when she seeks TO stop the on
slaughts of the bolshevilSi, for it was
she who once stayed the march of
the Turk across Europe.
A communication to the National
Geographic society sums up Polands
sad and eventful history as follows:
In size she outranked nearly every
nation of the continent. Russia alone
of the European nations is larger than
Poland was at her greatest. In popu-
latlon she stood at the forefront of
Europe. Only Russia and Germany
had greater populations before the
war than are to be found in the lands
that once were Poland; for unparti-
toned Poland had an area of 2S2 600
square miles, and the lands that once
lay within her boundaries support n
population of approximately so mil
lion. In area she was as large as TIE
former German empire, Switzerland,
Belgium, Holland and Denmark to-
gether; larger than Great Britain,
Italy and Greece combined: larger
than Austrla-Hungary and Serbia In
one. Within what were her boundaries
there dwells present population of
Great Britain and Belgium; larger
than those Of France. Belgium and
Holland together; and matching that
of the old Austria-Hungary.
Poland was three times partitIoned,
and these partitionings were read
1,n ~
Congress of Vienna in 1915. Where
the original partitions had given Rus
sin 1S1 900 square miles, Prussia $4,000
square miles, and Austria $4,000
square miles, the reapportionment of
the Vienna Congress gave Russia 22O,-
500, Prussia 10000, and Austria $4,000
square miles. Much of the land which
Russia secured, and particularly Kiev,
had been identified with Russia gen.
erations before.
Poland, In the days of her greatest
area. extended from point within 30
miles of Berlin, on the west, to the
meridian of the sea of Azov on the
east; on the north 1t reached nearly
to the Gulf of Finland and on the
south down to the Khanate of Crimea.
What we now know as Russian
Poland is that neck of territory
stretching westward between the
Prussins and Galicia. This territory
has an area almost exactly equal to
that of New York, yet, in spite of the
fact that It's extreme southern boun-
Diary lies north of the latitude of Win
nipeg, its population is as great as
those of New York and New Jersey
combined.
