LAKE ENDORSES PLAN OF
 NATIONAL BUDGET BUREAU

In statement made public Wednes- day, Governor Everett J. Lake endorses the efforts of the national budget com mittee. a non-partisan organization Of taxpayers, to arouse public opinion in favor Of the program of national econ omy and efficiency and the support of Gen. Charles G. Dawes
 The governor approves the plan of a budget guard being mobilized as an army of taxpayers by the national bud get committee.
 Governor Lake states:
 'I most assuredly wish to add my ap- proval to the budget bureau for the fed eral government, and extend my hearty congratulations on the success attending the work already done by General Dawes and his assistants.
 T believe that this success is only forerunner of far greater beneficial re- suits. My experience has taught me that by far the most effective means of securing economies in public expendi- lures is the intelligent curtailment of the monies which the various public depart ments and public institutions are given to spend.
 Governor Lake is one of 2s state exc cutives who are honorary state chair men of the national budget committee. Mayors Of 262 cities are honorary city chairmen, among them being Hon. Cliff ford E. Wilson, Bridgeport; Hon. J. P. Crosby, Greenwich and Hon. John (. Mead Ansonia.

WOULD TAX BEER FOR SOLDIER BONUS

Washington, Dec, 21.--Feasibility of raising funds for a soldier bonus by tax on beer and light wine will be considered by the hcEse ways and means committee, Chairman Fordney announc- cd today, after the Christmas recess when the committee takes up the ad- iusbed compensation question, particu- lsrly the phase relating 10 the raising of revenue to finance It.
 The possibility Of tax on beverages with small skcohoIie conteft will be looked into, Mir. Fordney said. to de- oermine whether t would be advisable, and constitutional, to lift the prohibit ton ban sufficiently to permit their sale
 Mfr Fordney conferred today with Secretary Mellon, but sabd later the bonus question had not been discussed.

WOULD REDUCE FREIGHT RATES
 ON HORIZONTAL BASIS

The Manufacturers Association of Connecticut, through it's board of direc- tors and traffic committee have declared for an early reduction of freight rates on horizontal basis, rather than re- auctions applicable in varying percent ages to certain commodities only.
 This matter is now before the inter- state commerce commission, which Is holding hearings on the subject in Wash ington. The representatives of the rail- roads were heard during the prssent month, and representatives of shippers will present their views in January
 Many of the carriers have announced their opposition to flat reduction in rates, prefeyring to reduce only rates on certain commodities. The manufac- Iurers on the other hand point out that rates were increased on a horizontal basis, and should come down in the same manner. Tcls is particularly import ant to Connecticut industry, as almost all of it's products move under class i'm stead of commodity rates. The resolu- ton adorteG by the directors Of the Manufacturers Association is as fol- lows:
 That in the revision of railroad freight rates now rpder copsideration by the interstate commerce commission, the Manufacturers Association of Connecti- gut favors 8 horizontal reduction of rates, applied to all classes alike, in such amount as will insure a fair return to the carriers and will stimulate commerce and industry and,
 That the president Of the association is authorized to present this view to the interstate commerce commission in such manner as he may deem most advisable and effective and
 That the president is further authoriz- e6 to invite the cooperation of other in- dustrial and commercial organizations in advocating a reduction of railroad freight rates on a horizontal as distin- guished from commodity basis.
 This action Is in harmony with the views of the National Industrial Traffic League. the New England Traffic League and other organizations interested from the shippers standpoint
 The Manufacturers Association has also, upon recommendation of its traf- fic committee, moved to secure more fa- voran1e rates on coal to Connecticut. Ii has asked the interstate commerce com mission, when it takes up the question 1 of coal rates, to remove the discrimina tions against Connecticut that exist 1T the present rates. Territory in the mid. de west, Tn which Connecticut industrie, 1 have competition, is receiving it's eoa on rates more favorable than coal moved an equal distance from the mines t 1 Connecticut and other New Englant l points.

CHANGES IN LAW
 RELATING TO INVENTORIES

Merchants, manufacturers ana bus mess men generally need experience no difficulty in taking their inventories for the year 1921 to conform with the new revenue act. The language of the reve- nue act Of 1918 and the revenue act of 1921, (Sec. .203), relating to inventories are identical;
 That whenever in the opinion of the commissioner the use Of inventories is necessary in order clearly to determine the income of any taxpayer, inventories shall be taken by such taxpayer upon such basis as the commissioner. with the approval of the secretary, may prescribe as conforming as nearly as may be 10 the best accounting practice in the trade or business and as most clearly reflect ing the income.
 Present treasury regulations provide that inventories must be valued at either cost or cost or market which, ever is lower Taxpayers were per mitted,f regardless Of their past practice to adopt the cost or market basis. which | ever is lower in taking their inventories for 1920. Thereafter. the regulations provide, changes can be made only after permission is obtained from the commis- | sioner Of internal revenue.
 l Tn the case of a merchant cost
 means the invoice price less trade or
 other discounts. excepting strictly cash 1 discounts approximating a fair rate of l interest, which may be deducted or not
 at the option of the taxpayer. providing
 a consistent course is followed. To the
 net invoice price should be added the
 cost of transportation and other reces-
 sary charges incurred in acquiring pos
 session of the goods.
 'In the case of manufaeturer cost
 means the cost of raw materials and
 supplies, expenditures for labor and in-
 direct costs incident to production, in- cluding q reasonable proportion of man. agement expenses, but not including any cost fselling or securing rsturn on capital
 l Market means the current bid price prevailing at the date of the inventory ] for the particular merchandise. The burden or proof as to the correctness of the price rests upon the taxpayer in each | case. Where no open market quotations | are available, the taxpayer must use
 such evidenRe of fair market price al l the dates nearest the inventory as may 1 be available, such as specific transac- tions or compensation paid 10 rcancel. lation of contracts Or purchase commit ments.
