FACTS FOR MAKING
INCOME TAX REPORT

Numerous errors in claims for deduc-
tions have been discovered in taxpay-
ers' 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 trade or business
losses sustained on property not con-
nected with trade or business if aris-
ing 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 deduction in the
return for 1920 loss must have been
actually sustained during that year. A
taxpayer may feel certain that real es-
tate 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 claim for deduction until the loss
is made absolute by sale or other dis
position of the property.
Claims for losses must conform
closely to the wording of the statute.
A loss sustained in the sale of an auto
mobile purchased for personal use is
not deductible, because it is not a
transaction entered into for profit. Z"
A loss sustained by a taxpayer in the
sale of his home is not deductible for
the reason that ordinarily when a man
buys residence and moves into it he
has no intention of selling and has not
entered into transaction for profit. +"

CHEMEKETA, OR
THE CITY OF PEACE
By Rev. G. W. Kennedy


When you land in Salem the first
thing that comes to your mind is: this
is historic ground. To this spot came
the missionaries in 1910; built the first
house, the Jason Lee home, still stand
ing; built the old Oregon Institute,
lately burned, and out of that came the
Willamette University. These planted
the seed of Gospel truth for the great
harvest you now see. Then you will
remember those pioneer state builders,
the coming and going of Lane, and
Nesmith, and Thornton, and Grover,
and Bush, and Clarke! You seem to
be treading their footsteps, as you
walk over these historic grounds. But
with open eyes you see new Salem,
the great new capital of a growing
state.
On my first stroll l met an ''old
timer" Said |, "My friend, please
tell me the name of your town.
''Wall, sur, IN these ere new times
they call it Salem; back in Territorial
days, we Injuns called it Chemeketa,
the council ground-resting place. This
last name was derove frum that"
''Well, what date bounds your Ter
ritorical times?'
Back NV 1859, Oregon was as big
as all outdoors, all the flags Nv the
world claimed it, but we Americans
floated the Stars and Stripes hur, and
cum to make this widest country on
airth, the biggest and best state fur
Uncle Sam."
"Well, my friend, where would you
advise me to go first, to see your town
the best?"
"By all means, go right over to the
in that big State House, just across
the road frum the missionary high
school. And whar are you frum. SURF
"l'm from Hood River, Sir. :"
"Oh, I've hearn tell of it. out in
the Harney valley, believe"
Well, l took my friends advice and
went into the Legislator. If you
enter the capital from the south. the
Senate chamber s to the right, and
House of Representatives on the left.
The grandeur and beauty of everything
impresses you.
In the Senate behind the Speakers
desk is a remarkable picture of DR..
John Mclaughlin, grand painting.
He is called the Father of Oregon,
though he was head of the Hudson
Bay Co., and did not become an Amer
lean until in lS40. He was the true
friend to the missionaries and the inn
migrants. Behind the Speakers desk
in the House isNs truly great picture Of
Jason Lee, missionary father of Ore
gon. He was the first American TO
settle in the country.
These pictures are worth a Journey
from the remotest part Of the state to
see. Then there are the pictures. hung
around the walls. Of all the governors;
grand, stalwart men. You seem 10 be
in the presence Of the noblest of men,
whom we all revere. God bless their
work and preserve their memory.
When the Legislature is in session,
you see familiar faces. They seem 10
feel the pulse and speak the senti-
ments Of the home folks. They vel
come you. What state has had wiser
Legislators than Oregon2
Yes, this is New Salem. Everything
is moving ahead They now have 81
factories and these are in their begin
ming state. The growth, the move
ments, the outlook is too big theme
for this article.

championship fight Hal Cochran,
in this story OF Carpenters life,
written for the Ncws-Timcs, tells of
the struggles of the one time mine
pit boy i'm rising TO the iight-heavy-
weight championship of the world.
From then on the youngster was
at the gym almost day and night.
Rough edges were trained off of
him and he was stacked up against
the best fighters in Descamps' lot in
short notice. INNS. VanhilbrOucq,
Descamps' mother-in-law. took an
interest in the boy from the start.
Outside battles. with a money
angle to them, however, were few
and far between. And money talked
mighty loud with Descamps and his
youthful pupil.
Hence they went on little tours
and Carpenter staged exhibition
bouts in cafes at night Let Georges
tell you about it himself:
First we staged a fight; then fol-
lowed with an acrobaic turn. As
grand finale I allowed myself to be
sent into a trance by Descamps and
did thought reading"
Twas Bunk, But
And then Carpenter smiles and
says;
IL hypnotisme? Cest Ia blague!"
Which, in plain English, means
hypnotism Bunkuml
But bunkum. or no bunkum, the
money rolled in and this. TO say the
least. was pleasing to master and
pupil.
Finally Carpenters first real bout
came with Bourgeois the latter part
Of 1907. Georges trimmed him in
rounds and followed shortly with
another Around win over Wetinck.
Carpenter was battling as a fly
weight, being just in his thirteenth
year and still far from developed.
His third bout saw him get a drub-
bling from Major, a much-touted
battler, in 4 rounds.
This beating, however, didn't feaze
Georges. He had picked up some
pointers. and that's what the youth
was after.
The year 1908 took him into the
ring with men who had gained real
regulations.
(The next story carries Carpenter
through his first Knockout and one
of the longest battles he has ever
fought in.)

Georges Carpenter has come to
the United States from France to
fight Jack Dempsey for the heavy
weight title less known than any
fighter who ever went into a world
BY HAL COCHRAN
Chapter 1
Fifteen years ago Georges Car
pentier, at the age of II, was pit
boy in a coal mine in Lens, France.
That little obscure mining town had
been the scene Of his childhood play
days and of his early schooling.
He was born Of poor parents and
as soon as he was old enough, join
ed his father, a miner. in daily trips
TO the insides Of the earth. The
youths weekly earnings went TO
help keep the wolf from the Carpen-
tier door.
In those days Georges was a
timid-appearing, fair-haired youth.
with an appearance far from that Of
lad who would indulge in any
thing that required muscle and
Drawn. He was generally looked
upon as a freside mothers boy.
Working in darkness all day long,
away from sunshine and open air,
didn't appeal to Georges. He want
ed TO do something else. With that
though ever on his mind, he occa-
sionally went, after working hours,
to a boxing school that had been
opened in the town by a Prof. Fran
co.'s Descamps.
Like IN any other youngsters,
| Georges just hung around and
watched fighters work. Finally he
became we'll know as one Of the
youngsters in the town. and was now
and then allowed to slip on a pair
OF gloves himself and mix in the
sparring and battling.
One night he gave a much bigger
/ fellow a good drubbing. Descamps
witnessed the bout and was much
| impressed with the fair-haired kids
showing. Georges was encouraged
10 come to the school more regular
! ~. Eventually the professor had a
/ bunch there was something that
goes to make real battlers in the
! kid-at least a lot of nerve.
Descamps took the matter VI
with Carpenters parents. He want
ed TO take their son under his wing
and train him. At first there was
much objection, but Descamps' per
sistency won out and Georges left
his pit-boy task for all time.
