 They paid no attention to the counsel then, and they have paid no attention to it since: yet it would not be difficult to dem onstrate that George Washing ton was never wiser or more trustworthy than when he ad- monished the American people against the evils of an intiamed and pernicious partisanship.

FARMERS INCOME
 SUBJECT TO TAX
Gains for 1919 Must Be Figured Under U. s. LaW-ReturnS
 Due March 15.
LAND SALE PROFITS TAXABLE.
Necessary Farm Expenses May Be Deducted-SpeciaIF Form for Farm Income-Cash or Accrual
 Basis for Computing.

farmer, shOpkeeper, or tradesman must figure up his net income for 1919 and if the farm or business income plus his other income was sufficient to require an income tax return conn plete return must be filed with the col lector of internal revenue by March 15.
 A farmer should ascertain the gross income of his farm by computing all gains derived from the sale or ex- change of his products, whether pro- duced on the farm or purchased and resold.
 Farm Expenses.
 From his gross income farmer is ! allowed to charge off all of his neces- sary expenses iD the conduct of the farm during the year. These include costs of planting, cultivating, harvest ing and marketing. In addition to these costs he may ueduct money spent for ordinary farm tools of short life bought during the year, such as shoy els, rakes, etc. Also, the cost of feed purchased for his live stock may be treated as an expense in so far as this cost represents actual outlay, but the value of his own products fed to ani- malls is not deductible item.
 Other farm expenses allowable are the cost of minor repairs on buildings (but not the dwelling house), on fences, wagons and farm machinery also bills paid for horseshoeing, stock powders. rock salt, services of veterinary, insur- ance (except on dwelling house), gaso- line for operating power and sundry other expenses which were paid for in cash.
 As to hired help, all the productive labor is a deductible expense; but the wages of household servants, or help hired to improve the farm, as in tree planting, ditching, etc, cannot be claimed against earnings A farmer is not allowed to claim a salary for him. self or members of his family who work on the farm
 Wear and Tear
 Purchase of farm machinery, wag- ons, work animals, etc, also the cost of construction or extension of build- fngs, s1Ios, fencing, etc, should be con- sidered additional investments in the farm and are not proper deductions against income.
 A reasonable allowance may be claimed for wear and tear on farm buildings (except the farmhouse), fences, machinery, work animals, wag- ons, tanks, windmills and other farm equipment which is used in the con- duct of the farm. As to autos and tractors, the cost of ] these is not. an .etxpense, although the ]

Farm Losses.

The loss of a growing crop is not a proper deduction from income, inas- much as the value of the crop had not been taken into gross income The loss of a building or of machinery through storm, lightning, flood, etc, is an allowable deduction, but care should be used to ascertain the correct loss sustained, as restricted by income tax regula tions.
 No deduction is allowed in the case of loss of animals raised on the farm. but loss is deductible from gross in- come if the animals had been pur- chased for draft or breeding purposes.
 Shrinkage in weight or value of farm products held for favorable market prices cannot be deducted as a loss, for the reason that when such products are sold the shrinkage will be reflected in the selling price.
 Sale of Farms and Land.
 The value of agricultural lands has been jumping during the past few years, and during 1919 many owners sold out part or all of their lands at big profits All such gains constitute income and must he taken into the net income for the year.
 Any person who sold part of a farm or ranch, or part of a parcel of land, must also show any gains realized by the sale.
 The method of figuring gains and losses on such transactions is pre- scribed in the Income Tax regulations, copies of which may be secured from Internal Revenue Collectors
 Forms for Returns.
 The Internal Revenue Bureau has issued an improved Form 1O4OF for the use of farmers This form, to- gether with Form 1O4OA or 1O4O, will give the farmer explicit information as to how to properly figure his net income for 1919.
 There are two methods of figuring a farmers income tax return this year. He may make his return on the basis of the difference between the money and goods received for his products and the cash paid out for actual allow able farm expenses within the year. Or he may make his return on the ac- crual basis, which means computing the receipts and expenses that pertain to the taxable year, excluding income earned and expenses incurred. in pre- vious or succeeding years.

IN WASHINGTON'S TIME
(From "The World" N. Y.)

(From "The World" X. Y.)
 Edmund Randolph, dismiss ed from the office of Secretary of State by the first President, expressed the opinion that the heart of George Washington was "black as that of Caligula. '' Randolph's views about George Washington could hardly be called unprejudiced, but in those days to say that the heart of the President of the United States was black as that of Co., Hgula excited no particular at tention. Gouverneur Morris records Randolph's opinion in a spirit of languid interest. It did not arouse him in the least.
 In fact, what Randolph said of Washington was mild and gentle in comparison with much of the criticism, if it can be call ed such, that was heaped upon the Father of His Country. School children are taught that Washington was first in war, first n peace and first in the hearts of his countrymen. They are never taught that he was also the best abused man of his time.
 Nothing better illustrates the decay of epithet in American politics than a comparison of the criticism that is directed against Wilson, with the criti- cism directed against Washing ton. It is as marked as the diff ference between the one-half of per cent beverages prescribed by the Volstead Act and the brandy that the fathers used to imbibe so freely. av :.
 Take the Jay treaty, for ex- ample. McMaster has com pressed into one Illuminating paragraph some of the impress sions of George Washington that were then recorded in the public prints:
 The President, said the Au-
 rora, has violated the Consti-
 tuition. He has made trea-
 ty with nation that is the
 abhorrence of our people.
 He has treated our remon-
 strances with pointed con-
 tempt. Louis XVI, in the
 meridian of his splendor and
 power, never dared to heap
 such insults upon his sub
 iects. The answers to the re-
 spectful remonstrances of
 Boston and Philadelphia and
 New York sound like the
 words of an omnipotent di-
 fector of seraglio. He has
 thundered contempt upon
 the people with as much con
 fidence as if he sat on the
 throne of Indostan.
 One excited patriot set out to prove that, inasmuch as Washington had drawn some of his salary in advance. the Pres ident was a thief. The House of Representatives publicly in-l suited him on his birthday, Feb. 22, 1796. The question of his impeachment was frequently 1 raised. s'In 1796," records Me Master, fin every town and city of the land were men who de- nounced him as an. aristocrat. as monocrat, as an Angloman- 1ac, and who never mentioned his name without rage in their hearts and curses on their lips" His opponents professed to be- 1 lieve that his Farewell Address was inspired by the conviction that he would be defeated for reelection, and it was recorded of him that "his character, hav- ing been founded on false ap- pearances, can only be respec- table while it is not known"
 Is it any wonder that Wash lngton took pains to warn his fellow countrymen against the baneful effects of the spirit of party?" That he spoke from experience when he told them
