TOM wArsoN,s FOLLY.

Senator-elect Tom Watson OF Geor-
gia recently annuonced that he
would introduce a bill in the Senate
to make Liberty bonds legal tender.
Immediately a large number of bond
holders applauded the announcement
without giving thought to what would
happen should such a measure be
passed.
The present circulation media of
the country is approximately $50 per
capital. Watson's proposal would in
crease 1t to $224, thus causing an i'm
mediate and tremendous initiation
which would result in correspond
ing depreciation in the purchasing
power of the dollar and a consequent
increase in the price of every COM
modify, just when prices are getting
back to normal and the dollar is APP
preaching par value
Another and possibly greater evil
effect, IL such were possible, would be
that the American dollar, which now
dominates the exchange world, would
stump to a par with the deprecated
currencies of Europe.
,, Secretary Houston Of the treasury
department was asked to discuss the
Watson proposal,y and he called ii
preposterous and a mad cap idea"
THE currency needs of the country
are being amply provided for by the
Federal Reserve System" he said
adding that Watson's proposal. if
carried out, would make Liberty
bonds Just so much spending money
not properly backed up by specie and
would fundamentally upset prices.

inspiring and 100 per cent American
thing it would be for those same peo-
pie who subscribed to the bond drives
to have another big drive to raise
money to help pay the debt OF our
country. How easy 1t would be for a
man or woman who stayed home dur
ing the war to show his love of coun-
try now by giving his Liberty or Vic
tory loan bond back to the United
States treasury. It would sort of
square things up with the ex-service
men and women, and 1t would show
that they really intended to give their
money as we gave our time, money
and lives. 1 feel that there are thou
sands of ex-service men so situated
that they would be willing to join
with other citizens in giving gladly
$50, 500, $500 or $1,000 to free the ma
ton from debt. If only somebody
would start the ball rolling!"

Adventures of
The TUins
"THE BoBADIl JiNN MAKES A
VISIT"
Bv Olive Roberts Bartci;

The Bobadil Jim had ten palaces,
one on the highest mountain of the
earth, one at the bottom of the deep
est sea- one at the coolest north and
one at the hottest south, or I should
say the hottest middle for after you
get past that on your way to the
South Pole, it begins to get cold again.
Besides that the Bobadil Jim had
palace in the dryest country of
the earth where it hadn't rained since
Noah's flood; and one in the wettest
country where it rained all the time.
And he had other palaces as well,
scattered round at various places.
The morning after this wicked wiz
ard had robbed the twins of all their
magic (the Green Shoes. the Golden
Key, the Map and the Language
Charm). He awoke in his most north
ern palace among the ice fields where
he had gone after his adventures.
The first thing he did after yawning
and stretching was to feel under his
pillow for the carved box in which he
had carried the treasures. Next he
slipped out of bed hurriedly, threw q
robe over his mighty and thrust the
box into a pocket.
'I must know where those twins
are" he declared, $50 I'll not wait to
dress properly They must be pre-
vented from, getting to the South Pole
at all costs. They must return to
their home where they will be out of
the way"
without more talking the wizard
turned his ring and in an instant was
invisible. He turned it again and In
another instant he was standing in
side Ishtu's hut whence the kind Eski-
mo man had taken the twins when he
found them out in the cold. Nancy
and Nick We're sleeping peacefully.
The wicked Bobadil Jim was furi-
Gus at seeing them so comfortable.

CHINA AND AMERICA.

American business men sometimes
fail to think in terms of world COM
merce, but those who do think in such
terms are leaders in American COM
merce as well as in foreign trade
They amass fortunes and control the
destiny OF nations, yet are looked upon
in many cases as merely lucky"
Yet, as a matter of fact they mere
ly study the effect of foreign condi-
tons on American trade and prepare
for the results which such conditions
invariably produce. As an example
let us study the effect of the famine
In China on American trade in the
Far East. The famine. which is
sweeping five of the northern prov
inces threatens the extinction of 49,
100000 people. Think of it, forty-five
millions! These people are, for the
most part, farmers. The producing
class of China, outside the farmers.
depends absolutely on these farmers
for food and the surplus of the pro-
ducing class is the keystone of the
arch on which American commerce
with China rests. If food is lacking
production will fall off and American
commerce will fall off in the same
proportion.
WISE american business men who
are engaged in Levantine commerce
will do two things. They will find
other markets for part of their trade
and will help the famine stricken
people as much as possible. in order
to hold the goodwill value of the
markets already obtained as much as
possible.
American business men who are not
two things They will make more in
tensive efforts to control their own
markets in anticipation of the COM
petition which is sure TO come, both
from Americans and from other ma
tionalities who are losing their China
markets, and they will also help the
famine sufferers in order to indirect
ly prevent or ward off competition in
their own fields.

From Katie's room came a scream.

Income Tax
Facts You
Should KnOlU
ALLOWABLE DEDUCTIONS,

In the purchase and sale of real es-
tate brokers' fees, commissions, law
yers' fees, recording fees, and like
expenses connected with the transac-
ton are considered part of the cost
and may be deducted from the selling
price in determining profit. II, in
order to sell for a higher price, prop
erty is improved, as when a house is
repainted or an automobile overhaul
ed, the expense may be added to the
cost. Such items, however, if deduct
ed from gross income when the ex-
penditures were made, can not later
be considered in arriving at the
profit; or, in other words, can not be
included as business expense and
also as al part of the cost of the prom
erty.
The selling price of property in
cludes notes, mortgages, securities. or
anything accepted as cash. and the
profit must be included as income
when received. Installment sales. in
volving a small initial payment. are
governed by special treasury regula-
lions. The profit is apportioned to
each installment and is reported for
taxation as collected. Except where
these special regulations apply, notes.
mortgages, and other deferred paw
ments must be considered as If the
entire amount was paid in cash.
If. in the latter instance, a note
is found worthless, or If a deferred
payment can not be collected, the
taxpayer, after exhausting every rea-
sonable means of collection, may de-
duct the amount as a bad debt in
his income tax return for a subse-
quent year. The sale of the proper
ty is regarded as a closed transac-
ton and the collection of the notes
as new item.
Depreciation sustained on business
property in years prior to the sale
must be considered in the computa-
ton of profit. For example, tax
payer acquired a building in 1915 at a
cost of $4,000 and sold it on January
1, 1920, for $4,000. Assuming that
per cent is reasonable annual al
lowance since date of acquisition to
date of sale would be $1,000. The
profit to be returned in 1920 would
be the difference between the cost.
$4,000, less depreciation sustained.
$500. or $500, and the sales price
of $4,000. The profit Of $4,000, so de-
terrnined, is subject to tax in 1920, and
if the taxpayer has not claimed a de-
duction for depreciation in prior years,
amended returns may be filed, includ-
ing therein a deduction for deprecia-
ton of per cent on the cost of the
building.
