 polcemen's style. And be of assistence to all sweet Oh, Boy How happy I would be. And then when I hear the -firewagon Agoing to fire,
 change my mind and wish I were a

 So I could help put out the fires: And then ride back to the station (With smile)-like Billy Zeego. Yes. but when I go to ball games, And see the Babe at the plate, Through a hole in the wall, And hear the crowd holler: Hit the old pill over the fence,

 Wouldn't I like to be a Babe Ruth. But when I hear so much of checkers, And who the checker shark is, guess I'll change my mind, As to what I would like to be, And decide that I would like to beat Bill Powers at checkers, More than eat or sleep.

10 FIGHT LIQUOR
 ISSUE IN SWEDEN
SeVerin Johnson Accepts Election
 as Good Templars' Delegate

Severin Johnson of 151 Dwight street, secretary and treasurer of the Stanley Svea Grain and Coal company, has accepted an election by the h. formation Order of Good Templars to be one of the two delegates to cam paien in Sweden for national prohi- bition. The campaign will open on August 27. Mir. Johnson will sail on July 15, on the Swedish Am erican line "Drottningholm." He will take an automobile with him in order to make out door speeches while travelling be- tween towns.
 The election of Mir. Johnson was the result of call from the Good Temp lars in Sweden for two Americans who would assist in the campaign and tell from personal observation, result of the prohibition in this country. Anti prohibition forces in that country are said to be circulating reports that the prohibition act has failed in this coun- try. The election there will take place under government supervision. The purpose is to determine public senti- ment on the issue prior to the vote DS the SWeulSn ftlkSudS to amend the Swedish constitution to provide for a bone dry prohibition law such as there is in this country.
 Individuals Limited.
 Under the present law in Sweden, individuals are limited to two quarts of hard liquor a month with the ex- ception of those deemed to have violated this law and therefore are prohibited to buy any at all. The limitation of liquor sales is accom- plished by the use of permit books given every person.
 There are S4 Good Templars out of a toal of 236 members of the Riks- dag in Sweden, says MT. Johnson, but he estimated that the order has approximately 20o.o00 members throughout the country, as compared to membership of some 40,000 in America. The Good Templars own more than 1000 buildings in Sweden and it is in these that MT. Johnson will speak.
 Mir. Johnson will be accompanied on the trip by his wife. His fare and travelling expenses will be paid by the Good Templars. He expects to be

vfdual receives during the year sala-
ny amounting to 5000, dividends $500
and insurance from his fathers death
of $4,000. Should he file return?
A. The insurance is not taxable
and need not appear on the return.
His net income, however, is 81, 200,
and he must file return. As the
dividends are not subject to normal
tax this leaves only 5000 subject to
normal tax and his personal exemp-
ton is $1,000, therefore, he has no
tax to pay.
@. 30.-What is the basis of de-
termining gain or loss from the sale
of purchased property?
A O-With respect to property
purchased since Feb. %, 1913, the ba-
sis is it's cost. The difference be-
tween the sale price and its cost is
either gain or loss.
t2)-With respect to property
purchased prior to March 1, 1913, the
fair market value as of that date
governs the basis. The following ex-
amples illustrate how this basis is
applied:
Where March i, 1913, value is
greater than costsand less than sale
price:
Property cost ..-...-...-...-.........$10 100000
March !, 1913, value ... 10000
Sold subsequent to March |.
1913, for ......,.............. 100000
Actual gain ..,-......,.,$ 10000
Taxable gain (excess of sale price
over March /, 1913 .value), 100000.
Where March /, 1913, value is less
than cost but greater than sale price:
Property cost ..--4,.......$ 100000
March /, 1913, value $1,000. 10000
Sold subsequent to March /,
1913, for .................... 10000
Actual loss .....-...............$ 10000
Deductible loss (excess.of March /,
1913, value over sale price,, 5000.
Where March /, 1913, value is
greater than cost and greater than
sale price:
Property cost $1,000. 90.
March l, 1913, value -. 10000
Sold subsequent to March /,
1918, for ...-.............. 10000
.-------
Actual gain "a. E............. $4,000
which gain is not feturnable, as sale
price is less than March /, 1918,
value and therefore no taxable gain
accrued snce that date.
Where March /, 1913, value is less
than cost and less than sales price:
property cost -....-.-----..-.......1000.00
March l, 1913, value .......... 10000
Sold subsequent toMarch 1,
1918, for ....... 10000
Actual loss ...,...,,-.-......$ 10000
which loss is not deductible, as such
loss did not accrue since March I,
1913.
Q. 31.-Why does the date March
/, 1913, govern the basis?
A. AS this was the effective date
of the first income tax law, gains
accumulated prior to that date are
not taxed, and likewise losses ac-
cumulated prior to that date are not
allowable deductions. This was the
date of the passage of the 10th
amendment to the United States con-
|stitution, permitting Congress to
pass income tax laws without appor-
tionnent among the states. The law
of 1909 was an excise tax law, but
based upon net income.
Q. 32-What is the basis for de-
termining gain or loss from the sale
of property acquired by gift?
A. II acquired by gift after Dec.
81. 1920, the basis shall be tina same

as it would have been in the hands
of the donor or last preceding owner
who did not acquire it by gift.
@. 33-What is the basis if prop
erty is acquired by bequest, devise or
inheritance?
A. If acquired to Feb. %, 1913,
the basis. is its fair market value at
time of acquisition.
@. 34-Is a taxable gain or loss
realized upon exchange of property?
A. Where properties of like ma
ture are exchanged no gain or loss is
recognized, but if the property re.
ceived has a ready realizable market
value in excess of that of che proper
ty exchanged, there may under GER
tain conditions be taxable gain.
Q. 25-What is meant by met
loss?
A. This is a loss resulting from
the operation of trade or business
regularly carried on by the taxpayer,
regularly carried on by the taxpayer,
including loss in disposing of any
capital assets of the business. The
amount of this met loss" may, be de-
Quoted from the net income Of the
