AN examination of income tax re-
turns, says Tax Commissioner Atwood,
discloses the fact that taxpayers as a
rule have an erroneous comprehension
of what gifts and contributions are tax
able in income tax returns. As re-
suit of such ignorance there is found in
returns deductions Of almost all classes
of gifts and donations, only few of
which may be allowed. In order that
returns may not be loaded with such
illegal deductions, the commission has
published the following rules: Contri-
buttons or gifts made within the taxable
year are deductible to an aggregate
amount not in excess OF 10 per cent of
taxpayers net income as computed be-
fore deducting the amount of such gifts
or contributions. If made to corporations
or associations operating in Wisconsin
and organized and operated exclusive
ly for religious, charitable, scientific,
or educational purposes, no part of the
net income of which inures to the bene-
fit of any private stockhodet or indi-
vidua. There must not be included:
Gifts and contributions to individuals.

torney General Daugherty is making q
poor shywing and congress threatens
to investigate his office. There cannot
be any valid excuse for government
laxness in these cases The offenders
are, if possible, worse than such men
as Debs and the other INSTRUCTORS who
were sent to penitentiary or escaped it
by political pull.
Some of the persons who defrauded
the government can bemade to give up
the money. The government is treat
ing the service men badly because il
says it cannot raise money enough to
pay them bonus. That, in connection
with the fraud cases, creates situation
which congress cannot ignore.
