is rot permitted to be deducted by
paragraph (2) of subdivision (a) of
section PA or by paragraph (2) of sub
division (a) of section 234, (3) the
amount by which the deductible losses
not sustained in such trade or business
exteed the taxable gains or profits not
derived from such trade or business.
"a amounts received as dividends and
allowed as a deduction under para
graph (6) of subdivision ta) of sec

OBJ If for any taxable year begin
ming after December 81. 1920, it ap-
satisfactory to the commissioners that
any taxpayer has sustained net loss,
the amount thereof shall be deducted
from the net income of the taxpayer
for the succeeding taxable year; and
If such net loss is in excess OF the net
income for such succeeding taxable
year, the amount of such excess shall
be allowed as a deduction in comput-
ing the net income for the next sue
ceeding taxable year; the deduction in
all cases to be made under regulations
prescribed by the commissioner with
the approval of the secretary.
tc) The benefit of this section shall
De allowed to the members of a part
nership and the beneficiaries of an
estate or trust, and to insurance COM
panies subject TO the tax imposed by
section, 243 or 246, under regulations
prescribed by the commission with the
approval of the secretary.
tu) Ir 1t appears, upon the produc-
tion OF evidence satisfactory to the
commissioner. that a taxpayer having
a fiscal year beginning in 1920 and end
ing IN 1921 has sustained a net loss
curing such fiscal year. such taxpayer
snail be entitled to the benefits of
this section in respect to the same pro-
portion of such net loss which the por-
tion OF such fiscal year falling within
the calendar year 1921 is of the entire

PROVISIONS OF Law LETTING
BUSINESSMEN DEDUCTLO

The special session of congress
contains a provision that If any tax
payer sustains a loss in any one year
which outweighs his profit, he may
deduct such loss from his profits, for
the next year. and IL his loss should
be SO great as to absorb next years
the balance of his loss into the follow
ing year, offsetting it against that years
profits. The tax payer Is thus entitled
to three year period In which to abb
sorb unusual loss suffered in any one
year His income tax may thereby be
abated for each of the three years. in
stead of for only one year as provided
by the former law.
This matter was one of number
that came to the Aiotice Of the Pueblo
Hood of June 3. We took up the propo-
sltion with Congressman Guy u.
Hardy, outlining the relief which we
thought ought to be given. We felt
that 1t was beneath the dignity of the
city of Pueblo to ask for special con-
cessions on account of flood losses
and suggested measure which would
give relief In all cases of unusual loss
to merchants, farmers. stockmen, and
all others, regardless of the nature of
their business, whether due to casualty
or to adverse business conditions. Mr..
no provision such as we had In mind
had been suggested to any member of
the house committee in charge of
framing the bill.
At our request he asked that such
provision as we outlined be incor-
ported in the legislation, and thru his
efforts this was done. In the meantime
we took every legitimate step we
could to have the desirability of such
a measure impressed upon every mem
Der of the house and senate. Our ap-
peal to Commerce club of the United
States and to industrial and mercan-
tile establishments thruout the nation
met hearty response, and we have rea-
son to believe that every congressman
and every senator received a consider
able number of petitions for the adop-
tion of the provision in question.
The result of this activity was that
the Justice of the measure was so
impressed upon our legislators that
they enacted section 2o4 of tho new
Revenue Act. the section being as
follows: (attached).
We are glad to have been able to
initiate provision which is of benefit
to business concerns everywhere as
well as being of peculiar ADVANTAGE
to the business concerns in the de-
vastated districts of Pueblo.
Respectfully
THE PUEBLO COMMERCE CLUB.
Following is the wording of this
law:
Sec. 2o4. (a) That as used in this
section the term net loss" means only
