THE RIGHT POLICY

mat was strong endorsement which the Connecticut Chamber of Commerce gave Governor Lake and his stand for economy and efficiency in state govern ment when President Bullard of the chamber said to the governor, we offer you the services of the entire organisa- ton in your effort to safeguard the in. terests or the state" It is of course only what ought to be expected but it indi- cates not only an approval of he poli- cies which have been outlined by the goy- ernor but determination on the mart of this organization of business men of the state to see that more than a passive in terest is taken in getting the benefit of them
 It cannot fail to be recognized as q tlIre when there must be an enthusiastic packing given to the policy which turns io back upon extravagant expenditures considers the conditions which prevail to- day, gives due attention to what the req needs are and acts for the purpose o1 Keeping down the taxation of those wh, nave been for a number of years carry ing heaVy burdens The taxpayers il general will be eager to not only endors, the attitude which has been taken by tn, Connecticut Chamber of Commerce hu also that of the governor when he saw
 The watchword of this session of th, general assembly will be intelligent econ omy' economy carried out so that 1t hurt - little"
 From what the governor has said a . different times it is obvious Nhat he in tends to not only keep down expendi lures but to introduce reforms and possible bring about better distrfbutio DOT taxes so that through additional reve nue the actual requirements may b taken care of and others allowed t wait. There seems to be no limit to +h ways in which the state could spen money if it should grant all the request 70 made, and it had the money to spend. is time, however, when intelligent ecer omy is called for and when such a DO ley deserves every support.

STOPPING GOVERNMENT ExPESD1.
 TUBES.

While unusual efforts are being made in congress to keep AeRn expenditures and large slices are being cut of of the estimates as presented the country is waiting to see what Yill he deae with the usual quarter of a million or 30 that is appropriated every year for free seeds. In spite Of strong protests this appro7 priation has gene threagA in rast years. There have beea good reasons for making this saving aleng with others for num- Der of years. but there was net enough in the two houses who were willing to give up such contact with the voters aE the free seeds gave them, even though the appropriation has been regarded as so much waste. s
 With a drive en for economy at this session, and with other appropriation bills being cut to the core 1t is time for this to go into the discard It gets the right kind of q start in t4fat direcfton when the sub-committee on appropria- tions recommends that it be eliminated. It finds. that this is a capital time to plug up this leak and to put the money to such use as debt and tax reduction. Many good beginning suffers from sub | sequent treAtmeAt and there is no cer-
 
 ! tainty that the opinion of the committee will prove acceptable. When the free seed proposition was before congress the last 1 time there were indications for con. 1 siderable period that h would be beaten but there was. no such outcome for the friends of the proposition were strong enough to bring about its restoration and 1t is possible to find quantities of tht l seed in the hands of those who hAyl no use for them while those who migha have planted them, but have little or ht confidence in them. failed to get them. The free seed distribution is a pencil to those who raise and pack them. Tn, idea might be we'll if seeds which arl \ not planted in different sections of th' country but which could be used for th development of new crops. were diAtf1b uted for the purpose Of determining th results, but the passing around of hal dozen of the common varieties of seed comes long way from itapressing tn people with the investment which Is bein made of the money involved

HOME FOR AMBASSADORS,

Every little while attention is called to the relatively poor pay which this country gives to it's diplomatic representatives in contrast with that given by other ceun. tries. It is plainly evident why men of means have to be chosen for such posi- tions, and this is especially emphasized when it becomes necessary for them to maintain their own residences, which nllrst be of a character corresponding to the position they hold and necessarily expensive
 In this connection full recognition of the situation was probably taken by J. Pierpont Morgan wheh he offered to this government his London residence as A residence for the American ambassador The Morgan home in London is a i've story building close to the present resi- deRce of the American ambassador and while it is not large enough for it to be residence and the embassy building, il would not alter the present situation l there, except that the expense of res idenee would ke eliminated from the ex. penses of the ambassador, for the en.
 bassy and residence are now ssparate 1 Mir. Morgans offer was favsrzAly rs 1
 it has continued to grow in favor is in

COME TAX FACTS
 YOU SHOULD KNOW

Partnership and personal service cur poration returns are closely sctIitinlzed by the bureau of internal revenue, and in them have been discovered numerous CT TOTS.
 Partnerships as such are not subject to the income tax. but are required to make returns on Forms 1865 showing gross and net income. The net income of a partnership is computed in the same manner and on the same basis as the net income of an individual, except that deductions for contributions 10 charitable. religious, and scientific orgsni- zations are not permitted.
 Individual members are taxed on the distributiye shares of net income from partnerships, whether distributed or not, and are required to include such shares in their individual return of income. even | though they may not have been actually received It not infrequently happens that the figures in the individual return and partnership return do not coincide in which event there is trouble for both the taxpayer and bureau.
 l Must Fns Returns.
 Partnership returns must be filed, even though the finn had no net income for ! the year The return must show the name and address of each partner and his share of net income Anyone of the partners may sign and swear 10 the re- turn, which may cover the calendar or fiscal year. according to the firms meth. cd of accounting.
 Requirements of the revenue act witt reference to partnerships apply also tt
 personal service corporations. which though1 exempt from tax. must make {
 return of EroSs and net income on Forn

 In order to be classified AS a personal service corporation, its A1rn.n1s must te derived principally from compensation for personal services Ten1ered by us owners and stockholders. Merchandising Or trading either directly or indirectly in commodities or the services of others is hot rendering personal service. Where the principal owners and stockhuiuers do not render the principal part ot the services. but merely supervise e force of ! employees. the corporation is not Ier- sonal service corporation.
 To determine who are ths principal | owners or stockholders no definite per centage of stock or interest In the ccr- poration can be prescribed.
