Section 1908 of the Revenue Act
of 1921 imposes tax upon the
use of yachts, pleasure boats, power
boats, sailing boats and motor boats
with fixed engines, of over net
tons, length over 80 feet. Numer-
Gus inquiries have been received
concerning this tax. These boats
are divided into three classes with
respect to length, and a separate
tax is provided for each class as
follows: over 5 net tons, length
over 80 feet and not over so feet,
$1.00 for each foot; over 5 net
tons, length over so feet and not
over 100 feet, $500 for each foot;
over net tons, length over 100
feet, $4.00 for each foot. The
Commissioner of Internal Revenue
has held that a vessel must be both
over net tons and over 80 feet
in length in order to be subjec5 to
the special tax imposed by this sec
ton. No return of certificate of
exemption will be required in the
case of boats falling beloy both or

According to past custom, the
first day of the Annual Meeting
of the Vermilion Range Old Set
tiers Association, or Thursday, July
27, will in all probability be de-
clared a holiday in this city in
order to give all an opportunity of
attending the annual get-to-gether.
This has been the custom every
year since the organization has
functioned and it is thought this
year will be no exception to the
case.
Tentative plans so far made here
call for an automobile trip to Tower
or train trip accompanied by the
Ely City Band. Last year, Tower
came to Ely in full force accom-
panied by a band and it is an
assured fact that Ely will recipro-
cate. Programs for the event are
now being printed and will be
mailed out the first of the week.
The program as arranged by the
Tower executive committee is as
follows and promises two whole
days of most excellent enjoyment: !:

for us to tell you that these two

f1anked by such able speakers as
John Owens, Lon Merritt, Capt.
Trezona and others we could name
out of the bunch of old timers the
feast of the soul and wit will be
up to the high standard maintain id
in the past by the association. The

SPECIAL TAXES
Due THIS MONTH.
REVENUE TAXES MUST BE PAID
BEFORE JULY 81, 1922.

Collector of Internal Revenue, l..
M. Willcuts, has issued the follow
ing statement which should prove
of interest to a large number OF
our citizens. Mr.. Willcuts says:
Forms for making returns OF
special taxes, due under the Rev.
enue Act of 1921 during the month
of July, now are available at the
office of Collector of Internal Rev.
enue, St. Paul, Minnesota and the
following branch Offices: Mime
apolis, Duluth, st. Cloud, Winona
and Mankato.
To avoid penalty return and pay
ment of the tax must be made on
or before July 81, 1922.
Return of the capital stock tax
of domestic corporations must be
made on Form TOT; foreign cor
porations on Form 703. Form IL
is used for making return of the
miscellaneous occupational and the
tobacco manufacturers special tax.
Regulations Ga, governing the col
lection of the capital stock tax,
Regulations So, governing the col
lection of the miscellaneous occu-
pational taxes and Regulations g.,
governing the collection of the to-
bacco manufacturers special tax
also may be obtained upon request
of the office of the collector of in
ternal revenue and branch offices.
The Revenue Act provides shat
every domestic corporation shall pay
annually q special excise tax with
respect to carrying on or doing
business equivalent to 81 for each
$1,000 of so much of the fair
average value of it's capital stock
for the preceding year ending June
80, as is in excess of $4,000. In
estimating the value of the capital
stock, the surplus. and undivided
profits shall be included.
Every foreign corporation shall
pay annually a special excise tax
with respect to carrying on or do
ing business in the United States,
equivalent to 81 for each 81 ,00G
Of the average amount of capital
employed in the transaction of its
business in the United States, dur
ing the preceding year ending June
80"
The basis of the tax in the case
of a domestic corporation is "car-
rying on or doing business" in the
capacity of a corporation or asso-
citation. Quoting from the Capital
Stock Tax Regulations No. "a, "The
words carrying on or doing busi-
ness must be given every ordinary
and natural Specification. Business
is a very comprehensive term and
embraces whatever occupies the
time, attention or labor of men for
the purposes of livelihood or pro-
fit. In other words business nec-
essarily involves the idea of gain"
Every domestic corporation must
make a return on Form TOT, even
though the law may indicate that
it is exempt from the tax. The
question of exemption is one for
determination by the Commissioner
Of Internal Revenue.
The basis of the tax in the case
Of foreign corporation is .carry-
ing on or doing business in the
United States. A foreign corpora
tion is carrying on or doing bust
ness in the United States if it
maintains an agent or an Office or
warehouse in the United States, or
, in any other way enters the United
States for the purposes of its busi-
ness.
