INCOME TAX FACTS
you SHOULD KNOW

Frequent inquiries are received by
collectors of internal revenue from
storekeepers and other business men
as to whether the taxpayer in business
for himself may deduct from his gross
earnings an amount Of salary paid 70
himself. Wages or salary drawn BY
taxpayer from his own business are
more in the nature Of a charge out Of
profits than charge against profits.
If deductible they would merely be
addeG TO his income and the effect
would be TO take money out Of one
pocket and put it in another. There
fore, claims for such deductions are
not allowable.
5 .laries paid to minor children en-
ployed in the conduct Of taxpayers
business are not allowable deductions.
II, however, a son or daughter has at
air Z pajority, or is allowed free use
Of their earnings without restriction,
reasonable amount paid as compensa-
tion for their services may be claimed
A farmer who employs a man TO
assist in the operation Of his farm
may deduct from gross income the
amount paid for such services. Like
wise, il he employs a woman whose
entire time is occupied in taking care
Of the milk, cream, butter, and ehurns,
or If her services are devoted entirely
to the preparation and gerving Of
meals furnished farm laborers and Ia
caring for their rooms, the compensa-
ton paid her is an allowable deduc-r
t.on. If, however, she is employed
solely in caring for the farmers own
household no deduction can be made.
In arriving at net income upon
which the tax is assessed, deductions
may be made for ordinary and neces-
sary business expenses. The revenue
act specifically prohibits the deduction
Of personal, family, or living expens-
es. Such expenses include rent for a
home, wages Of servants, cost Of food
and clothing for the family, education
Of children, "and all items connected
with the maintenance, well-being, and
pleasure Of the taxpayer and his
family"

WHOSE JOB WILL / FINISH.

No man ever really finishes his life
work It is impossible for any of us
to do a perfect job. live as long as we
may and work though we may to the
limit Of our strength. Always there will
be something left when the sun goes
down and the call comes to quit.
Now, there is nothing about this that
ought to make us feel down in the
mouth, and think that life is not
worth living. For 1t Is always possible
for you and me to do a little something
toward finishing up some other mans
job, as well as pushing our own just
as far as we can.
1t may be father is the man whose
work we win take up and carry on
farther than he was able to press it
before he went away. He made the
old home just as beautiful as he could.
He cut the fallow in the back lot; his
hands logged the fallen trees and
burned them; he pulled the stumps
and built the barn and perhaps the
new house. He did good, honest work.
and left the world better than he
found it. A good, earnest, true farmer
was your father and mine.
Now it is left for you and me to
press fathers task still farther toward
a perfect condition. We ought to be
better farmers than he was. Don't you
know it? He left us with the old
place in good shape-we see the marks
OF his fingers on everything we touch.
The fields are smoother for what he
did; the fences are better than when
he burned the stump fence and re-
placed it with rails and woven wire;
the buildings are more convenient;
but we. with our advantage, ought to
make all these things still better.
And If we do this. that Is all that
win be expected Of us. That, as a
matter Of fact. is our job. and upon the
way we do it will depend the success
we make OF our lives. Fathers job be-
comes our job. His dream, our dream.

The United States possesses, as be-

DEMOCRACY'S IDEAL

Among the many things which the
world is said to need there is, OF
course, what is known as a leader
\ This need of a leader is so apparent
and has been expressed so often, that
there is little occasion for further as
surance on this point. But, lest we
forget, Viscount Bryce once more
urges upon US the fact that the world
is in great need of a leader
Merely by way of showing now
great crises in the past have produced
leaders, Viscount Bryce gives us the
zini and Napoleon. Unfortunately for
US, the type of leadership which these
crises produced seems not to be in
strong demand today. The viscount
| himself says, ''The ratio of leaders has
decreased as the masses of people
have increased, and the peaceful solu-
ton of our difficulties lies not in con-
hict but in cooperation, and in the
moral progress of the men who COM
pose the community"
More than was the case in former
days, the task of choosing a leader
has fallen to the lot of the men and
women who are to be led. Indeed,
they are not to be led at all as they
were in the good old days of leader
ship; they are rather to follow as
wisely as is possible the individual
whom in their own power they have
called to leadership
All this makes it more difficult than
it used to be for the men and wo-
men in the community and in the
nation. It seems democracy brings
with it to those who live under this
form of government duty much more
difficult to discharge than was the
mere blind following of the leaders
of an earlier day. The people have
become somewhat particular about the
direction in which they want to go,
and about the means by which the
goal is to be achieved. They are more
distrustful of blind leaders If along
with this distrust of blind and ire
sponsible leadership the people Of the
earth will now assume and discharge
intel1igently the business of selecting
representative leaders, men who are
no less skilled in leading than they
are mindful of whittier the people
want to go, then we shall presently
have done with all the worlds blind
leaders.
This is the ideal which democracy
has set for Gainesville Sun.

CHOKING GAME HOGS


There win be no evasion of the

wardens are on their jobs. Hereto

hunters to take along a cook or some
other helper into the hunting camp
and use this helper or even several Of
them as hunters" under the terms Of

Survey completed the summary of the
changes made since last season and
among the federal regulations is one
that provides that the daily bag limit
Of any person shall now include "all
birds taken by any other person who

in taking migratory birds"
It is very essential, il we are to pre-

manner and this is one step forward

OBJECTS TO RoWDYIssM

Editor of the Journal:
Kindly allow me space in your val
liable paper to say word in regard
to law enforcement in Escambia
county as regards Figland Park.
Probably few people in Pensacola
realize the large part the people Of
this little "burg" play in the economic
life of Pensacola Thousands of doz-
ems of eggs are raised here and sold
in Pensacola every year as well as all
kinds of poultry, milk and garden
truck of every description.
We have all come from law abiding
communities and are not only sur
prised, but Disguised with some of the
rough meek" gangs we have to put
up with at the various social events
we have.
We are not fortunate enough as yet
to have the benefit of the Movies"
but do have a dance and other socials
every week and 1t is necessary to hire
and pay out Of our own pockets for
the employment Of an officer to keep
some resemblance OF order. We pay
taxes and are spending our money
and putting our hardest effort into
developing this new country and to
have to put up with gangs OF trouble
makers is almost enough to make any
one discouraged, but we come to
fighting stock and are living in hopes
that the day is not far distant when
our place will be large enough to in
corporate as city, when we can have
our own officers and we will then
show the law enforcement officers Of
this county that gangs" Of trouble
makers can be made to respect the
law.
We have been told to obtain war
rants and have them arrested. This
we have done only to find that it is
impossible to obtain a conviction.
It is high time that thorough
cleanup occurs IN the whole county
and make it likeable place to live
in, and not as it is now, where it
is almost unsafe to go out at night
unles you have a body guard and
pack yourself like an arsenal
Trusting this lengthy article will be
observed by those whose duty it is
to enforce the law Of this fair state
and they will give the people who
are doing something to build up the
country the same protection as they
do those who do nothing but make
trouble for people who are decent,
law abiding people, for it will be a
blessing to the people of this COM
munity.
