be just as hostile TO the people as O
whole as great combinations of CAPT.
tai.
Both must be curbed, although given
"a square deal" The rights of the
people must be respected and the in
tCrests of society as a whole rather
than any part thereof must be SUI
preme.
The great fault with organized labor
right now is that at Il time when
greatly increased production is the
imperative need of the hour it seems
to be doing everything possible to re-
tartl production. Increased production
is the only prescription to remedy the
high cost of living. This is no time
for shorter work days and more time
to loaf Every strike adds to the cost
of living and is an irreparable loss to
the community Days of idleness are
like the logs that went down the river
Wednesday night. The gaps may be
closed, but the logs that have gone by
will never help spell prosperity for

Service is the watchword of all
members Of both Houses of Con-

Income Tax Facts
You Should Know

The income tax law allows a person,
in figuring his 1919 net income, to
take credit for contributions made
during the year to organizations con-
Quoting charitable, scientific. educa-
ttional and religious work; to societies
for the prevention of cruelty to chill
dren or animals; also to the special
fund authorized by the vocational re-
habilitation act.
Before claiming any deduction under
this provision of the law a tax payer
should carefully consider what is al
lowable. There should be no guess
work or estimates or setting down a
lump sum. but the tax payer should
show only the contributions as he
made them and as he can substantiate
them. Care should be taken that
amounts given to individuals are not
included and that the deduction is con-
fined strictly to donations during the
year to organizations operated without
benefit to the persons behind the
movement. For instance, a gift made
to a hospital which may bring profit
to the persons interested In the insti-
tuition would not be a deductable item.
All donations to churches are de-
ductable, including those for mission
ary funds, church building funds, pew
rents, and church assessments and
church dews.
Political Contributions.
The taxpayer should he careful to
omit any claim for contributions to
funds gathered for propaganda and
political purposes. The allowable
deductions are definitely limited by
law to organizations operated ex-
clusively for charitable, scientific,
educational, or religious purposes,
for vocational rehabilitation. and
for the prevention of cruelty to
children and animals.
After listing his contributions OF
an allowable nature, the taxpayer
should see that he does not claim
an amount over the limit ,estab-
lished by law, which is Is per cent
of the years net income, computed
without the benefit OF this deduc-
tion.
Contributions may be made in
cash or other property: IL other
than cash, the value of the prop
erty must be accurately determined.
Subscriptions or promises to con-
tribute should not be considered,
the allowance providing only for
contributions actually made.
Members of partnership may
deduct their proportionate share of
the partnerships contributions to
such organizations. But a partner
is limited to Is per cent of his net
income on his total contribution de-
duction.
