INCOME TAX FACTS
YOU SHOULD KNOW

Numerous errors in claims for de-
auctions have been discovered in tax
payers returns.
To be allowed, deductions for losses
must be confined TO the following
classes: losses sustained in trade or
business; losses sustained in transac-
tions entered into for profit, though
not connected with a trade or bust
ness; losses sustained Of property II
arising from fires shipwreck, storms,
or other casualty, or from theft. To
the extent any Of the above losses are
compensated for by insurance they are
not deductibe
To be allowed as a deduction in the
return for 1920 a loss must have been
actually sustained during that year.
A taxpayer may feel certain that real
estate owned by him is worth less
than what he paid for It. A merchant
may be convinced that certain stock
can not be sold unless marked below
cost. In neither event, however, is he
entitled to a claim for deduction until
the loss is made absolute by sale or
other disposition Of the property
Claims for losses must conform
closely to the wording of the statute
A loss sustained in the sale Of an
automobile purchased for personal use
is not deductible, because Il is not a
transaction entered into for profit"
A loss sustained by taxpayer in the
sale of his home is not deductible for
the reason that ordinarily when a man
buys a residence and moves into IL he
has no intention Of selling and has not
entered into a transaction for profit"

This writer Of great railroad stories
was a railroader In the Rocky Noun
talns country until he was 81 years Of
age. Then he took his pen in hand TO
write big romances about the life he
had witnessed and lived During the
first FIVE years he had no conspicuous
success. but in 1898 destiny resharp-
ened the point of his fountain pen and
he wrote three novels within twelve
months. Each of the three was a ten
strike. Then the 25-cent and 35-cent
magazines began to bid for his work
and the little old l0-cent and 15-cent
monthlies that had kept his pot boil
ing were deserted During the past 20
years he has written IL successful
novels. Readers Of this paper will
have an opportunity to read his latest
probably his greatest story, '"rhe
Wreckers." as serial. Watch for 1t .

n LAW

Sioux City Journal - The Journal
hopes and believes the report from
Washington that Secretary Houston
and his associates on the wal finance
corporation Will carry out the spirit of
the law as enacted by congress and
passed over the presidents veto by
overwhelming majorities in both
houses is true. Some of the Washins-
ton correspondents have stated in their
dispatches that the secretary would re-
fuse TO put the machinery Of he cor
pOration in operation. and as there
were two vacancies in the corporation,
the president would neglect to appoint
members, leaving the secretary Of the
treasury and his two ~subordinates, who
are members, in control of the situa-
ton and that they would make no at
tempt to comply with the Jaw.
The revival of war corporation MAJ
not accomplish what is expected. But
the majority of the sentiment Of the
country is behind the plan, regardless
of parties, as the overriding Of the veto
shows. 1t would be an Improbable
act for the officials charged with the
execution of the law to refuse to exc
cute it. especially in the brazen and
o~utspoken manner in which they were
said to be going about II. The tenn
per of congress is such that a fragrant
and willful refusal on the part of the
members of the corporation 10 act
would have brought about impeach-
ment proceedings within a few days.
If the officials had attempted TO do
what they were said in the cores
pondence to contemplate doing, they
would have been found guilty on trial
for such Impeachment. II is no for the
executive department Of the govern
ment to determine whether the en-
forcement Of q law will accomplish
that for which il was enacted. 1t is
its duty to enforce the law, and if
the results are not what were ex.
pected, it is not responsible. 1t must
enforce the law or lay itself open to
impeachment of the official who Re
fuses or neglects 10 do so.

and girls clubs. A summary Of project
results for 1920 just issued by p. J.
Scarbro, state club leader, shows that
5,727 club members reported a gross
production of 1881, 631.91 for the year.
Production costs totaled 3O2,913.81,
leaving a net profit Of $578,71S.1O. The
average gross production record OF
each member reporting was $153.94,
the net production averaged slightly
in excess of SOL.
The report shows that there were
526 organized boys and girls Clubs
in the state with an average members
ship of 10 plus. More members en-
rolled for the baby pork project than
for any other, the total enrolment for
this project being 1852. Gardening
came second in the matter of enroll
ment with 1,410, and sow-litter third
with 1893. Other projects undertaken
by the clubs, with the total enrolment
in each, follow: Corn, 1872; potato, 35;
cow-calf, l09; baby-beef, 10; sheep,
AT; poultry, 500; canning, eli; bread,
274; sewing, 1,040.
The greatest production record, in
gross value, at least, from any of the
projects was made in the sow-litter
clubs. Members reported a gross pro-
duction of $695,44O in this project, total
cost being $2l9,730 leaving a net
profit Of $475,72O. This means an av-
erage gross production of 1929 plus
for every member of a sow-litter club
in the state. The cow-calf clubs came
second in the matter Of value of prod
ucts, the gross value reported being
$64,528, and the net production $31,S2S.

SITE is SECONDARY

WATERFOWL Public Opinion-Haylng
expressed in an emphatic n us
desire for the development OF the wa
ter power possibilities on the missouri
river within the state, South Dakota
o faces the possibility Of a sizeable
contest over the location of the plant.
Contending forces at Pierre are en-
barrassing Legislators and may posi-
bly effect much legislation by their
vehement claims in favor OF this or
that site. The speedy and unhanmp-
cred progress of necessary construc-
ton is certain TO be adversely infu-
enced If the flight oYer the site Is car
ried to the length which dispatches
from Pierre say are contemplated.
That the state as a whole regrets
this complication is, we believe, a con
s~ervative assertion. The vast ma
iority of South Dakotans are not so
much concerned from what point they
obtain electric energy as when they
obtain II. The project is vital 10 all
parts Of the state; the site Of domi-
nant interest TO very limited sections,
Watertown, for example, can utilize
Juice" from Mobridge as we'll as from
Mulehead; the wheels Of the factories
in this city will respond just as readily
and the lights on the streets glow just
as brightly if enerGized from Big
Bend as they will if moved from Lit
tie Bend.
There are minor considerations, Of
course, to be taken into account. The
state has employed experts to work
out these problems; it has entrusted
to it's highest officials the problem OF
reaching decisions and submitting rec
concentrations. There should be a
way to get results rather than getting
into a prolonged contest either in the
courts or at the polls. Litigation is
endless and, in this instance, ballot
ing would be but little better. A fight
to a finish along either line will mean
delay and expenditure of money
which might be better employed in
moving earth and placing concrete.
Partisans of any particular site
ought to take into consideration these
fundamental facts before they start
something" Time will satisfy all de-
Neither the Mulehead nor the
M%obridge site will furnish all the
power the entire state car consume.
The first development, II successful,
will be followed by a second in due
time. If unsuccessful, the experience
will calm the emotions of all.
