have made this week eventful in this
locality. Although the building trades
are ordinarily dull at this time of

In the last week. This compares with
s1S0.000 the preceding week. and
$434.0o0 for the corresponding week

The total industrial employment
here is estimated today at $4,000,
according to reports Of the Employers

proximately 10000 in a week. Nearly
all the industrial plants have taken

before the holidays. and the number
now at work compares favorably with
the peak figures of last year.

ARTICLE XII.
We have now seen what consti-
tutes gross income Let us. there
fore, proceed to the third section of
this tax law analysis for the purpose
of ascertaihing what items are in
cluded in.
C.-Deductions from gross income.
(see section 214-a of the lawl
Among allowable deductions from
gross income are the following:
Item 15.-Business expenses: These
expenses are allowable when they
constitute ordinary and necessary
expenses" of carrying on the taxpay-
ers trade or business. The law per-
mits the deduction of such expenses
when paid or incurred during the
taxable year" This leads to- the
distinction between reporting on what
basis and on an accrual basis The
discussion of the difference is re-
served for treatment under Gre
turns.
Item 16.-Compensation: Compensa-
tion, including salaries and wages
paid in connection with the taxpay-
er's business. is an allowable deduc-
ton. When such salaries or wages
are paid by the taxpayer to himself
they must also be included as a part
of his gross income. thus balancing
or canceling each other.
Item 17.-Traveling expenses: Trav-
cling expenses. paid in connection
with the taxpayers trade or business.
including the total amount spent for
meals and lodging while away from
home, are allowable deductions. These
deductions may be made if the travel
inc |.
payer himself or by an employe. In
der the 1918 law. the cost of meals
and lodgings was not permitted as
deductions. The more recent Treasury
decisions permitted such deductions
to the extent that the amounts spent
exceeded the corresponding ordinary
costs at home. But. as pointed out
above, the new law is much more
liberal
Item 1s.-Rent: Rent paid for the
use of business property is deductible.
II such rent is paid by tho taxpayer
to himself for the use of property
that he owns, he must also include it
in gross income as in the case of
salaries paid to himself.
Item 19.-Interest: All interest
which the taxpayer pays on indebt-
edness is deductible, except that the
deduction may not be made If in
Cured in connection with the pur-
terest Of which is totally exempt. i. e.,
not subject to tax. Interest paid is
deductible il incurred in connection
with the holding Of liberty "a $ orig
inally subscribed for. although the in
terest received is totally exempt.
This topic will be continued in the
next article.
In previous article ! suggested
that readers secure copies of the rev.
enue law, so as to follow these discus
sions most advantageously.. The
commissioners regulations should
also be obtained. Copies of the vari-
Gus return forms. with instruction sheets
attached. should also prove helpful. TIL.

Transition to Prosperity
Growing More Pronounced
BY j. n. FlNNING.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
ST. LOUIS. January 2O.-Al the
symptoms Of the transition to pros
porous business conditions steadily
are becoming more pronounced in this
section. Although some lines are
under severe tension of corrective
methods. that tension is disappearing
altogether i'm other industries. Easier
money and more settled confidence is
gradually effecting stability and i'm
provement.
There are three distinctive features
in the business situation in the south
east and southwest. The first is an
aggressive and intensive selling cam
paign. MerchantsN big and little. are
offering exceptional bargains and are
exploiting them determinedly in news
paper and show window advertising.
The second feature is a livelier de-
mand for spring goods This is notice
able particularly in shoes, dry goods.
clothing and hardware.
The third basic feature in evidence
is the renewed effort toward cost and
price liquidation in construction and
transportation. Railroads are ac-
cumulating statistics looking toward
wage reductions. The struggle to Sc
cure agreement to lowered wage
scales in building trades still is in
progress here.
