THE CERTAINTY
OF TAXES

The state controller OF New York
ruled that a gambler must mako
returns on his Winnings under The
state income tax law He ruled also
that in case money was lost at gamb-
ling the sums lost could not be de-
Quoted as ordinary business losses
are
The argument for the second rul-
ing was based on the fact that the
gambling was against the state law.
Therefore, to recognize the gambler
as a Law abiding citizen was AGAINST
public policy. The gambler took his
grievance to court and the court hss
found against him, one judge alone
showing him any sympathy.
When il comes TO taxes the tax
collectors insist on holding all the
cards. In their game 1t is always

they are bulwarked by Institutions
