INVENTORIES MUST
SHOW TAX FIGURES

with inventory-taking uppermost
in the minds OF business men and
tradesmen In the district OF Della
ware. II. T. Graham. collector OF in
ternal revenue. has issued ipstruc-
tions for the proper procedure as
required for the purposes OF Federal
income tax under the Revenue Act
OF 1921. Many small business houses
are warned to comply with the law
more strictly than in the past years
in taking stock at the close OF the
current year according TO the best
accounting practice OF the business
in order TO reflect the true income Of
the business.
The practice OF business concerns
comprises two distinct methods Of
taking inventory, known under the
income tax law as cost and cost
or market. whichever is lower" Al
though the cost method Is the more
reliable. many concerns make use
OF the cost or market whichever Is
lower" basis. However. the law re-
auires that once a concern has adop-
ted either basis. no change or devia-
ton therefrom will be allowed. ex-
cept under conditions peculiar TO GER
tain businesses. For example, when
cost" basis is adopted. stock must
be listed at cost thereafter. The
second method when used once must
be continued in the same manner.
This requirement forestalls attempts
to shift from one method 10 the
other in order to establish losses
which do not exist. Collector Graham
stated.
