HARDING'S INCOME TAX
TO BE ABOUT $4,000
New President Will Have to Con-
tribute to World War Bill.

Washington, Feb. Warren G.
Harding, as President of the United
States, will receive something like
$4,000 less compensation from the
government annually than Woodrow
Wilson has received.
The treasury will pay Mr. Hard
| ing the same amount that it pays Mr..
Wilson-$75,0 900 annually-but in
| ternal revenue bureau officials say
tEet Mr.. Har1ing mUct return nearly
one-fouth of this in income tax.
President Wilson was exempted
from the income tax under a Su-
p"eme Court ruling because he came
into office before the enactment of
the 1919 revenue laws under which
taxes were sought to be imposed on
the salaries Of tee President and of
Federal judges. The Supreme Court
held that the tax could not be col
lected in the case of incumbents be-
cause of the constitutional inhibition
against the reduction of the salaries
of the executive and Federal judges
during their term of office.
The solicitor general has ruled
that the tax could be collected from
officials taking office after the law
became effective because that would
not bring about any reduction in
salary during the term of office.
Revenue officials say that Mr..
Harding, of course, will be allowed
! the usual exemption Of $4,000 q year
for married man, and may claim
certain business exemption. Placing
his exemption at $4,000 nearly, how
ever, they figure his normal income
tex at $3.50, and his surtax at $12,-
$40, a total OF $18, APO.
President Wilson is understood to
have paid some taxes under tie 1918
| law before the Supreme Court ruled
| on the section, which Federal judge
attacked, but revenue bureau Off
Gals will not say how much nor
whether it it was refunded, holding
that under the law such matters are
confidential.

rate of interest, which may be deduct |
ed or not at the option of the tax
payer, providing consistent course is
followed. To the net invoice price
should be added the cost of transpor-
tation and other necessary charges in
Cured in acquiring possession of the
goods.
In the case of manufacturer
cost means the cost of raw materials
and supplies, expenditures for labor
and indirect costs incident to produc-
ton, including reasonable proportion
Of management expenses, but not in
cluding any cost of selling or securing
return on capital.
Market means the current bid
price prevailing at the date of the
inventory for the particular merchan-
disc. The burden of proof as to the
correctness of the price rests upon the
taxpayer in each case. Where nc
open market quotations are available
the taxpayer must use such evidence
of a fair market price at the dates
nearest the inventory as may be avail
able, such as specific transactions or
compensation paid for cancellation of
contracts or purchase commitments
Where, because of abnormal condi-
tlonS, the taxpayer has regularly sold
merchandise at prices lower than tht
market bid price, the inventory may
be valued at such prices. The correct
ness of such prices will be determined
by reference to the actual sales of the
taxpayer for a reasonable period be-
fore and after the date of inventory.
Prices which vary materially from the
actual prices so ascertained will not
be accepted as reflecting the market.
THE value of each item in the in
ventory may be measured by cost or
market, which ever is lower. An en-
tire stocy may not be inventoried al
cost and also at market price, and the
I u.
ventories on whatever basis taken will
be subject to investigation by the
commissioner of internal revenue, and
the taxpayer must satisfy the commits
sionerof the correctness of the prices
adopted. He must be prepared to
show both the cost and the market
price of each article included in the
inventory.
I'm the conduct of modern business,
it is of the utmost Importance that
every business, large or small, wheth-
er corporation, partnership or individ-
ual, shall maintain an exact record of
receipts and expenses. No special
system of accounts is prescribed by
the Bureau of Internal Revenue, but
the books should show in detail inven-
tories, purchases, sales, capital in
vested depreciation, and similar items
required in making up income tax re,

pectations when they contemplate the
federal government in control of the
Colorado river development.
The first actual benefit which will
be experienced will be the removal of
flood danger from the Imperial and
Yuma valleys. The river bed is ris-
ing about foot year, according to
engineers, because of the large con-
tent of silt which flows downstream
from Utah and other northern states.
1t is this fact which causes growing
flood menace to the lowlands of
Southern California.
As the bed of the river rises the
pressure on the banks and the levees
is greatly enhanced, until now the fu-
ture holds no hope except in the dam
ming of the Colorado aovbe the danger
point. Because of the necessity for
providing irrigation, the requirement
for a dam IN the lower basin has be-
come imperative, while the upper
basin is neither in danger from
floods nor in immediate need of pow
er and irrigation.
In order that these great benefits
should be made available to the
Southwest, the Davis plan, as modi-
fled by the author until it now has
the unanimous approval of the people
of this section-with the sole eXcep
ton of private corporations-must
run the gantlet of congress.
Secretary of the Interior Fall il
San Diego did not say in so many
words that he intended to favor the
Davis plan, but his announcement
that the government by treaty with
Mexico has perpetual ownership and
control of the waters of the Colorado
together with his general attitude or
matters pertaining to the question al
issue, forecast such Endorsement by
him.
When do you expect this wonder
full boom in this section to stop
was asked Mr.. Merrill.
Not in your lifetime or mine," was
the reply. why should it stop?'
1t was pointed out that this terri
tory could bear much greater popu-
Ilation than now without difficulty.
While the British isles sustain $50
inhabitants to the square mile, Cali
fornia has but % to the square mile
eliminating fractions, and the I'M
perial Valley a much smaller ratio.
The prediction, therefore, that the
Imperial Valley, the most fertile part
of the state, with the best climate anc
at least equal trade opportunities, will
in the not remote future comprise
hundreds of thousands of population
does not seem at all improbable.
And to all this wonderful future the

stand thin with evidence of heading
short The goodly rains the last day or

news. Export demand has been slowed
down by weakness in foreign exchange.
About the only demand for cash wheat
in this market Is for the purpose of de-
livery on May sales and this demand Is
confined to smaller houses, larger ele-
vators having withdrawn from the mar
ket As a result, deliverable grains sold
about 2 cents below a delivery basis.
This condition is not due to any heavy
the buyer for consumptive purposes to
await developments.
Corn and Oats-The material inroad
into the visible supply Of corn and the
prospect of further heavy shipments
from here, together with the condition
of the winter wheat crop have all served
to create a number of friends for the
coarse grains. So far, the demand ar
pears mainly in corn Tor the reason that
accumulate are decreasing more rapid
Iy than the oats. Considering the rel
alive price of wheat, corn and oats look
cheap. The market is in position to re-
spond to increased demand or a falling

that consieuments of lard to Europe are
