New RevenueA Act Makes T ak

District Of North Cardinal:
Merchants, manufacturers aud

the new revenue act. The language
of the Revenue Act Of 1918 and the
Reenue Act of 1921, (Sec. 2Oa}, re,a
ting to inventories are identical:
That whenever IN the opinion OF
the Commissioner the use OF invent ories
isnecessary in order clearly to deter
mine the income Of any taxpayer. m
ventories shall be taken by such tax

sioner, with the approval Of the Sec
retary. may prescribe as conforming
as nearly as may, be to the best ac-
counting practice in the trade Or bus
mess and as. most clearly reflccting
the income
i t'Present Treasury regulations pro-
vide that inventories must be valued at
either cost or scost or market, which
ever is lower Taxpayers were per
mitted, regardless of their past prac
tice, to adopt the Ecost Or marker
basis. whichever is lower in making
their inventories for 1920. Thereaf-
ter. the Regulations provide, changes
can be made only after permission Is
obtained from the Commissioner OF
Interial Revenue.

added the cost Of transportation and

& Market means the current bid

correctness of the price rests upon the
taxpayer in each case. Whers no op-
en- market quotations are available,
the taxpayer must use such evidence
of a fair market price at the dates

able, such as specific transactions or
compensation paid for cancellation Of
contracts or purchase commitments.
Where, because Of abnormal condi-
tions the taxpacr has regularly sold
merchandise at prices lower than the
market bid price, the inventory may
be valued at such prices. The cor
rectness of such prices will be deter
uined by reference to the sales Of the
taxpayer for a reasonable period i'c-
fore and after the date of inventory.
Prices which vary materially from
the actual prices so ascertained will
not be accepted as rejecting the
market.

the aid Of this organization, recoyniz-
ing its wonderful possibilities OF aid
to the farmer. and has agreed to loan
whatever money is necessary to carry
it Through.
Mr.. J. H. Alexander, Jr., director
from this district was requested by
The commonwealth to prepare an in
tcrview for the paper, stating just
what conditions were with the Ex-
change at this time, which is printed
in full. as follows:
The Peanut Growers Exchanpe ar
ranged with The War Finance Corpor-
alton in September to secure a loan
Of $4,000 100000, if needed. War Finance
Corporation stated that they would
prefer the loan being made through
banks. With this end in view the
Executive Committee of the Peanut
Growers Exchange met with a
committee from the Richmond
and Suffolk Bankers carly in October
and asked them to handle the proposf-
tion. The Suffolk Bankers eadily a.
greed to take their part of the offer
and have worked toward that end con
tinuously since, rendering the Ex.
change valuable aid. Unfortunately
the Richmond Bankers failed to see
the future Of this Undertaking and re-
fused to take part in the loan. The
Executive Committee Of the, Agricu.-
tural Board Of The War Finance Cor.
poration for Virginia, was composed
of three Richmond Bankers. These
gentlemen were not familiar with the
Peanut industry and either through
ignorance OF indifference did not CO
operate with the Suffolk Banks In
their effort to secure money for the
Exchange. We are pleased to state
however, that at meeting Of the
Directors of the Peanut Exchange or
Wednesday, the 7th., Il Committee
was appointed to call OH the War Fl

the condition that existed. This com
mittee reported at a called meeting

J In this connection we would like to
