would be the, difference between the
cost, 5000, and the sales. $4,000,

win Check "Prices."
The important factor, therefore,
in the ruling is market price. What
does the term mean? Every mer-
chant will have to make his own
estimate. Naturally II he thinks
the market price is much lower than
his original cost, he is able to show
that the goods have cost him great
deal and that his profits from sales
are less. But the government will
exercise q careful check on the
market price" and will investigate
and compare all classes Of returns
30 as to discover just what the pre-
vailing prices were at any given
period. II it should be discovered
that q merchant on his income tax
return said the market value Of so
many articles was such and such
price the government will see II the
merchant actually gave the public
the benefit of these prices and did
sell his goods at those figures.
Should there be a material discrep-
ancy between what the income tax
return said was the market price
and what the public actually paid.
the government will consider the
difference prima facie evidence Of
fraud and will prosecute offenders.
Cost of Replacement.
Actual cost market price accord
ing to government officials means
the cost to a merchant of replacing
the goods. After all that is the price
which competitor would have to
pay for the same kind OF goods il
he had no stock on hand and there
will be plenty of instances of this
kind on income tax returns which
will enable the government to tell
whether the man with the goods on
hand properly valued his goods. 1t
is naturally to the interest of the
merchant to show on his income
tax return that his goods have
shrunk to small price because
that helps to diminish the size Of
the pro6ts on which taxes are paid
but II the government doesn't find
the merchant selling to the public at
somewhere near the prices ut which
he tnventOried, a charge OF fraud
will be entered, and the income tax
return will be held up and all sorts
OF complications would follow.

LYNCHlNG WILL STOP
When Negroes Stop Attacks on White
Women Says Rossen.

Impartial annihilation Of the whole
poisonous. pcstilential brood" Of what
generally is called the mob spirit, is
the only guaranty of national safety,
Luther u. Rossen, of Atlanta, Ga, told
the American Bar association in m
address on the illegal enforcement of
the law in Cincinnati, Ohio, last week.
Lynching, he said, will cease /only
when negroes stop their attacks on
white women and when the white pco-
pie reach such stage of self control
that. they can restrain themselves be-
fore the law, the two things that are
too deep seated TO be met by the law
alone, but must he met by an awak-
enipg bf public conscience and the up
lift; of the two races.
But lynchng, he added, was only one
phase of the mob spirit that "is con
stantly and industriously laying; the
axe at the root of government"
Labor mobs though different in thei!
inception and make up, were declared
to be just as inimicablc to the safely
of the nation.
THE lynching mob is born in :,
whrlwind of passion and survives but

showed them how a man might he

iect at some little length and show
