INCOME TAX FACTS
YOU SHOULD KNOW

Frequent inquiries are receiv.
ed by collectors of internal reve.
nue. form storekeepers and other
business men as to whether the
taxpayers in business for himself
may deduct from his gross earn.
ings an amount of salary paid tc
himself. Wages or salary drawn
by a taxpayer from his own bust.
ness are more in the nature of q
charge out of profit. If deduc.
tible they would merely be added
to his income and the effect
would be to take money out Of
one pocket and put it in another.
Therefore, claims for such de-
-ductions are not allowable.
Salaries paid to minor children
employed in the conduct of a
taxpayers business are not al
lowable deductions. If, however.
a son or daughter has attained
majority. or is allowed free use
of their earning without restrict
ion, a reasonable amount paid as
compensation 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. Likewise,
if he employs woman whose en-
tire time is occupied in taking
care of the milk, cream, butter,
and churns. or if her services
are devoted entirely to the pre-
paration and serving of meals
furnished farm laborers and in
caring for their rooms, the COM
pensation paid her is an allow
able deduction. 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, de-
duction may be made for ordina-
ry and necessary business expen-
ses. The revenue act specifically
prohibits the deduction of per-
sonal. family, or living expenses
Such expenses include rent for a
home. wages of servants, cost Of
food and clothing for the family,
educatiod of childred. land all
items connected with the main
tenance, well-being and pleasure
of the taxpayer and his family. "

some FACTS WELL
WORTH REMEMBERING,

Fortune may find a pot, but
your own industry must make
it boil.
Never buy what you do not
need because it is cheap.
The best of all governments
is that which teaches US to gov
ern ourselves,
There is a royal road to knowl-
edge, but one must walk, not
ride therein.
Every man is a volume, if you
know how to read him.
He who faces the sun of
truth leaves all shadows behind
him.
1t is our own past which has
made us what we are.
AS turning the logs will make
a dull fire burn, SO changes of
studies will make a dull brain
active.
Idleness and ignorance are
boon companions.
The first artist was a plow-
man; the first work of art, a
plowed field.
What we know here is very
little, but what we are ignorant
of is immense.
Keep ahead of the world if
you can, my boy; 'Tis the only
way to succeed.
If you e'er fall behind, twill
be hard to get back to the spot
where you once had the lead;
and there's no way to win in
the battle of life. so easy. so
safe, and so sure as to have a
few dollars ahead of your wants.
For most of life's ills tits the
cure.
But you never get dollars till
first you get pence
AS from acorns the mighty
oak grows, work hard, and
work ever, and save as you toll,
no matter if progress seems
slow. Thus be true to yourself
in the years of your youth, and
you'll rest without worry when
old. Save the pennies today;
into silver they'll turn, and the
silver will grow into gold.

SINGLE BLESSEDNESS

The poor single Jay. | rose
up this morning in Yuby Dam
at the first peep of day. Drank

a few small scraps of alligator
rib to add strength to my per-

big-footed guy would walk out
down among the flowers, the
butter cups. pansies, pinks, and

A BRIEF SERMON ON
The PRODICAL son.

| WIlA arise diiu w w NY 1aIiF
er, and will say unto him. father,
| | have sinned against heaven.
and before thee.
And am no more worthy to be
called thy son; make me one Of
thy hired servants. Luke XIV 1918.
This is the expression of one
with conscious knowledge Of sin
and the consequences thereof.
That which proved good in his
case will likewise prove effective
in the life of every lost soul. Let
us note the first and then the
successive steps in his expe-
riences.
|. The personal element in sal
vation. However great the desire
one may have for another's sal
vation, it will not avail him any,
thing toward his own salvation.
This son may have been. yea,
doubtless was even anxious that
the lost be saved, yet realized
personal need |. not my>friend,
neighbor or master but |, a
needy. helpless one, am away
from my fathers house. One fat
al characteristic of sin is that IL
so blunts the consciousness that
sinner regards others more needy
than himself.
II. No one will ever experience
the joys of salvation without .
fixed purpose. He must be deter
mined. This prodgal said he
would arise. With fixed purposes
we are strengthened in a given
direction. Until decision is reach
ed the sinful soul will only vac
illate, and no saving but rather
discouraging results will be ex-
perienced.
iii. The lost must be active in
their salvation. The prodgal said
he would arise and go. The great
invitation from Christ is that all
who labor and are heavy laden
will come unto Him and find rest
for their souls. With the person.
al activities there must be neces-
sary adjustments. When this
prodigal came to himself he was
not as. he had been. Having
spent all, and that in riotous fv-
ing he compared or contrasted
him utter destitution with the
super-aboundance of his fathers
hired servants. Now even in des-
titution he must come to his ut
most to make reconciliations
those he had wronged. He must
and confess his sins. Little did
he think that the road he was
travelling while in the revelries
of his sin would have to be re-
traveed. In his dire distress he
felt the need of his fother whom
of all he had wronged. Gath
ering the threads of his misspent
life he resolved to bear them
back to his farther. None but
those who have made a like re-
turn vopage know lust how bit
ter are the waters of Mara. nor
how great the proverty of sin.
He did not question the recep-
ton his father would give. Mark
you. RECEPTION is deeply signifi-
cant in the term father. will
a rise and go to MY FATHER.
True he could tell the royalty of
the reception. He was not SO
concerned. but his ambitions
were so founded upon humility
that he only sought hired
servants place.
Nv. The glorious results.
The prodigal left the feeding
of the swine behind him as he
had formerly left his fathers
home. He not only made up his
mind to return and did return
but he planned to confess unite
his father his great wrong. ANY

Will take under advisement the ques-
ton of recommending to the Governor
the calling Of special sssion of the
Legislature
The facts concerning the school fin
ances we,p obtained from the testi-
mony of Charles B. Snyder, Superin-
ssndent of School Buildings for the
Yoard of Education, and A. Emerson
Palmer, Secretary of the Board of
Education
Mr.. Palmer identified the records of
several meetings of the Board of Edu-
cation, in which were noted several
letters that passed between Corporation
Counsel O'Brien and Mayor Hylan with
respect TO the disposition OF the ven
tilating,. heating and plumbing con-
tracts for school work, which were
shown to hdve been submitted under
Hettrick's scheme of collusive bidding.
These letters were dated from Decem-
Der 10, 1920, up to April Z, 1921, the
last letter having been written by Act
ing Corporation Counsel Nicholson.
In the first letters Corporation
Counsel O'Brien advised the contracts,
aggregating $1,34S ,66s for ventilating
and heating and $952,746 for plumbing.
be cancelled, on the ground that the
firms in question had been guilty of
collusion and were connected wAh the
Hettrick code of practice groups, The
firm of Gillis & Geoghegan was men
toned particularly.
In later communication Mr.. Unter
myer charged the Corporation Counsel
with turning "a violent somersault"
when, after having declared the con-
tracts illegal, he advised:
t1nh ,A,,c ,Ic
reduce the contract price so as to elm
mate therefrom the excess cost to the
city under such contracts, due to the
illegal combination OF such contractors,
such proposition might be submitted
to the Board of Estimate and Amor
tionment for consideration"
Mr.. Untermeyer interpreted this tn
mean that if the per cent paid
by the heating and ventilating CON
tractors to Hettrick was deducted,
perhaps the city might pay these
fraudulent and collusive sums pro-
vided for by these contracts"
Mr.. Snyder declared that in Julv of
last year the Board of Education had
approved the expenditure of S63.11O.-
624 for the erection &C about eighty
schools. The Lockwood committee ex-
posures came soon after. Work on
the estimates was held up. The esti-
mates were revised, he said, and ap-
preparations on the revised estimates
made on February of this year.
Under the revised figures, said Mr..
Snyder, the Board of Education got
two schools in addition to the eighty
previously arranged for at total cost
of only $50,481 $50.
DO ! understand that the delay be-
tween October, 1920, and May, 1921. has
resulted in saving of about $14,

Quite right" replied Mr. Snyder.

CHICAGO, May 18.--That a nation

1--WE are ready to fight until the last
dog is hung" said an official of the
maintenance of way men, "if we decide
to fight. But this much is certain:
The Labor Board is going to cut our
wages, and we will have to stand for
some kind of cut A cut of 10 per
cent would not cause any trouble. A

But, with living costs about the

quickly"
Predictions are made that all of the
250,00O railroad men now out of work
throughout the countary will have been
reabsorbed by the various roads by the
time the wage reductions go into effect
on July l.
Rail chiefs were reticent as 10 their
immediate plans, but they porated 10
two expected events which will remove
MUCH of the sting from the reductions
as far as the unions are concerned.
One is the working rules decision
which the board will probably hand
down around July /. 1t is known that
definite code of universal rules, based
on sixteen principles which will go far
to equalize the wage cut. These rules,
1T is said, will fix an eight-hour day,
hours of labor, protection of health,
overtime, and other fundamentals which
Will restore to the big brotherhoods
their coveted differentials in pay.
Lower Rates Expected
The other is the expected action on
the part of the Administration within
the near future in lowering freight
and passenger rates. The executives
maintain, however, that the roads will
be in no better position financially if
rates are lowered and wages are not
cut as much as 20 per cent. The board
would give no intimation as to the size
of the cut.
1--WE do not know what it will be, and
we cannot tell until we study the evi-
dence," said one of the members.
There is no authority for declaring
any percentage or total at this time.
We have made no estimates whatever"
Eighty-seven roads will be affected
by the June / decision Small tribu-
tary lines of some of them, included in
the docket, bring the actual total
slightly above the 100 mark. In some
cases the roads did not specify the
amount of reduction desired, but in
most instances return to the scale in
