ATTENTION FARMERS

There are two methods of comput-
ing income taxes for farmers. both
recognized as correct by the Intern
al Revenue Collectors one of which
takes into account the total sales OF
farm products for any calendar
year, the other considering inven-
tories of products on hand at the
end of the year. In either case de-
ductions may be made for the ex-
penses of that year which is under
consideration.
In the case that grain Is held over
from the 1920 crop and sold during
1921 no deduction can be made for
the expenses of the crop which was
grown in 1920. 1t is therefore ad-
visable to reckon the income tax on
the basis of inventories at the end
of 1920 and have the benefit of ex-
rense deductions rather than to
make no report. possibly. for the
year 1920 and pay on total sales
for 1921 later with no expense de-
ductions allowed for last crop.
This may save considerable in
taxes for the two years and should
be taken advantage of in view OF
the high cost of producing last sea,
sons crop as compared with pre-
vailing grain prices.

ance.

NOW SPREADING ROCK

The village board of trustees have
started the rock crusher to work
and are now distributing crushed
rock on Michigan avenue near the
Christian church. 20 horse pow
er electric motor has been installed
to run the crusher anr placed In a
small shed to protect it from the
weather. The crusher is beneath a
platform upon which the gravel and
sand is scraped and handily shoveled
into the machine. The crushed rock
is then elevated by brickets, on an
endless chain, to bin under which
an auto truck is run and easily
loaded. Everything is arranged for
efficient work and good progress will
be made in this latest improvement
to the important thoroughfare OF
Michigan avenue. The village dads
should be commended for making
this needed improvement.

ATTENDS AUDITORS MEETING

County auditor. Joseph Kaufman,
left for Lewiston on SATURDAYS
freight enroute to Boise to attend
meeting of auditors from differ
ent centers Of the state. Mr..
Kaufman will probably endeavor to
have the legislature lengthen the
time in which to extend the tax
rolls, the time now allotted is en-
tirely too short for the auditor and
treasurer to complete the work of
tax extension and collection. Mr..
Kauffman's extensive knowledge OF
this subject should make him an
able petitioner for necessary time
in properly completing the tax rolls.
