NORMALS LOSE FIGHT
70 GET COLLEGE STATUS

Madison-Normal schools lost their
fight for the privilege to give four
year courses leading to college de-
grees, when the assembly Wednesday,
voting so to 81, killed the Fowler
bill A clash between normal school
and university forces developed over
the bill.
Assemblyman Fowler, leading the
fight for his measure, said that its
sole purpose was to give the normal
schools square deal. The opposition
was led by Assemblyman Matheson,
who declared that the normal schools
SHOULD confine themselves to their
function of training teachers"
Three ambitious normal school
presidents are ambitious to become
college presidents" Assemblyman
Dahl asserted. "They should resign
and get college jobs"

Fargo.
About two years ago residents pc
titioned for a consolidated school en-
bracing considerable territory for tax
purposes. Taxpayers of the district
have taken sides and although the
school has been built the controversy

dragged into the dispute when it
published notice calling for the re-
moval of two school officers. The
school is said to be a splendid struct-
ure but this does not appease ag-
grieved taxpayers.

on commission basis with no ex
pense allowance, may deduct his eX
penses for railroad fare, and also hi
expenses for meals and lodging in al
amount in excess of the ordinary cos
for such living expense when at home
Othr Deductions Legal.
If he receives a salary and is repaid
his actual travelling expenses, ht
must include as gross income ar
amount equal to the ordinary expense
! for meals and lodging when at home
as such amount is held to be additional
compensation to the taxpayer. Pay.
ment for the use of sample room fol
display of goods is business ex-
penSe.
The farmer may deduct all amounts
paid in the production, harvesting
and marketing of crops, including
labor, cost of seed and fertilizer used
cost of minor repairs to farm build
ings and machinery, and of small
tools which are used up in the course
of the year.
Mr.. Smith also stated that taxpay-
ers frequently make the mistake OF
claiming as deductions expenditures
for articles more or less permanent
in character, or for permanent i'm
provement of their property. In the
case of the business man they include
claims for the erection of new build
ings or installation of machinery. A
farmer claims as a deduction the cost
of new threshing machine or trac-
tor, or the expense of putting new
roof on his barn. Such deductions
are expressly disallowed by the
revenue act, and held to be invest
ments of capital.
Depreciation to Be Substracted.
Allowable deductions, in addition to
tanned by the taxpayer in any trans
action entered into for profit outside
of his regular business.
A reasonable allowance is made for
depreciation of business property, in
Guiding obsolescence, and for the de-
pletion of oil and gas and other nat
ural deposits.
Contributions made during the year
1920 to corporations organized eX
clusively for charitable, scientific, re-
ligious or EDUCATIONAL purposes, or for
the prevention Of cruelty to children
or animals, or the special fund for
vocational rehabilitation, may be de-
Quoted to an amount not exceeding Is

adjustment are amounts paid for adj
vertising, hire of clerks and other en-
p1oyes, rent, light, heat and water,
telephone, insurance, delivery ex-
penses, the cost of operating delivery
wagons and motor trucks and Incl
dental repairs to such vehicles.
Office Rent Reductible.
n O
business include labor, raw materials,
