Chicago, Dec. E.--tBy the Associ-

Michigan canal, down whose towpaths
the mule-drivers, once directed the
commerce OF the state. Is doomed.
Decision Of Governor Len Small to
proceed with the construction Of the
deep-waterway down the Illinois river
Will take the last Of the barges of the
little canal which has served the state
since 1848.
Part of the old canal between Lock-
port and Brandon Roads, southwest
of Joliet. is to be abandoned, hut the
sixty-mile stretch from Brandon
Roads to La Sale will be maintained,
at least for the present, to handle
pleasure boats and other small craft.

Income Tax Facts
You Should Know
Series of Fifteen Articles Prepared
by the Bureau Of Internal
Revsnue of Informative
Value to Millions.
No. IL,


Section 2C2 of the revenue act of
1921 deals with the basis of ascer-
tanning taxable loss or deductible
gain in the sale or other disposition
Of property. The act provides that
cost shall be the basis with three
exceptions.
The first is that in the case of
property which should be included
in the taxpayers inventory, the last
inventory value shall be the basis:
for example. if a merchant bought in
1920 a certain article, and It was not
sold by him prior to December 81,
1920 but was included in his inven-
tory as of that date and sold in 1921.
the taxable gain or deductible loss
would be the difference between the
selling price and the amount at which
the article was CARED in his inven-
tory.
The second exception is that in the
case OF property acquired by gift
after December 81. 1920, the basis
shall be the same as that which it
would have been in the hands of the
donor or last preceding owner by
whom it was acquired by gift. For
example a man in 1918 acquired stock
in a corporation for 800 share, and
kept it until 1920, when 1t was worth
$120 share, and then gave it to his
son, who in January. 1921. gave 1t to
his wife, the stock at that time being
$3.50 a share. If subsequently the wife
sold the stock for $4,000 a share, her
taxable profit is not $50 but 500,
the gain over the cost TO the last pre-
ceding owner who did not acquire the
stock by gift.
In case of property acquired by
gift on or before December 81, 1920,
the basis for ascertaining gain or loss
from sale or other disposition
