INCOME TAX.
Revenue Department Explains Gross
Income OF Revenue Act.

Revenue Department Explains Gross
Income OF Revenue Act.
Numerous inquiries have been re-
ceiyed regarding the proper inter-
probation of Section 223 of the
Revenue Act OF 1921. which provides
that each individual whose gross in
come for 1921 was $1,000 or over
shall file a return regardless Of his
or her net income.
Gross income means statutory
gross income. defined by the revenue
act to include gains, profits and in
CONES derived from salaries, wages,
or compensation for personal SER
vice OF whatever kind and
in whatever form paid, or from pro-
LESSONS, vocations. trades, business.
commerce or sales or dealings IN
property, whether real or personal,
growing out of the ownership or use
Of or interest in such property; also
from interest, rent. dividends, secur-
tiles or the transaction Of any busi-
ness carried on for gain or profit or
gains or profits and income derived
from any source whatever"
Gross income does not necessarily
mean gross receipts. A merchant,
for instance, in computing statutory
gross income, should deduct there
from the cost of goods sold. For
example, a merchant may have gross
receipts amounting to $4,000. but
the cost of goods sold amounts to
$1,000. He has no other income.
The statutory gross income woula
be $4,000. In case the other deduc-
tions allowed him for business ex-
penses, taxes, interest, bad debts,
etc., amount to $4,000, his net in
come would be $500. No return OF
income is required in this case.
A lawyer who is married and liv.
ing with his wife has gross receipts
in the form Of fees amounting to
$4,000 and his necessary business
expenses amount to $4,000, leaving
net income Of only $1,000. A re-
turn will be required in this case, as
taxpayers gross income as well as
gross receipts is $4,000.

REPUBLICANS DEADLOCKED ON
SOLDIERS BONUS.

On the same afternoon that Presi-
dent Harding was proposing bonus
for the private shipping interests
who may purchase the vessels of our
merchant marine at markeddown
prices the Republican members of
the Ways and Means Committee
were in deadlock over method OF
raising money to pay the Soldier
Bonus which the Republicans prom
Used in the last campaign. Inasmuch
as President Harding had prevented
the passage Of the bonus bill in the
Senate, after it had passed the
House, it seemed to be up to him to
suggest the means of raising the
revenue. This situation the Presi
dent promptly and bodily met by
suggesting sales taxa species OF
legislation about as popular as in
fluenza.
The President naturally would
feel that he had performed his part
when he passed that sales tax buck
to the Republican Congress, but for
the second time the fiscal proposals
personally made by the President
have been almost instantly rejected
by his own party Congress, which
let it be known emphatically that it
was overwhelmingly against the
sales tax. The other personal re
pudiation Of President Harding was
when he pleaded in letter for 80
per cent maximum surtax, and Con-
gress at once passed bill providing
for so per cent.
The Soldiers Bonus is peculiarly
a Republican party problem. The
Democratic programme of recon
struction legislation provided for a
settlement of the bonus matter with
out making it political question,
but the Republicans defeated this
programme and dragged the subiec;
into politics. And now they
have got it into politics they don't
know any more what to do about il
than they know what to do about
the tariff or the ship subsidy. or the
carrying-on of the agricultural
bloc"

THE. PRESS ASSOCIATION

In the Maryland Legislature the
House last week passed the ANTI
Race Track Gambling Bill and the
Prohibition Enforcement Bill. Both
bills now go to the Senate where the
gamblers hope to kill the former and
vets are equally hopeful of killing
the latter.
The Cecil County Delegates,
SQuier, Mackey and Gibson, voted
to pass the Anti-Gambling Bill.
On the Prohibition Enforcement
Bill Delegates Gibson and Mackey
voted for the bill, but Squier, rep
resenting a dry county, voted with
the vets, and in attempting to ease
his conscience handed his dry con-
stituents in Cecil a learned CD dis
sertatfon, showing his real place is
on the Supreme Bench, and not in
the Maryland Legislative halls.
Delegate Squier said he "coult
not stultify his conscience to vote
for a measure which he considered
to be contrary to the precepts of thu
Constitution, harsh, drastic and un
reasonable"
The city delegation, with the ex
ception of Mr.. Hall, voted solidl.
against the enforcement measure
while five city delegates Beierfeld
Grammar, Catch, Hall and Joseph
voted for the Anti-Racetrack Gam
bling Bill.
Baltimore city wants increases
representation in the Legislature
and with their delegates voting al
most solidly with the liquor interest
and race track gamblers, wha
chance will any moral Legislation
have if the city is given twelve NOR
votes in the House and two more il
the Senate.
You voters in the county, bea
this in mind when you come to mari
your ballot on the increased repre-
sentation referendum next fall.

s'HOW PROHIBITION is
WORKTNGn

"They say as much liquor is sold
as ever, but the statistics show
tremendous decrease, and this de-
crease is apparent to any who want
to see it. They used to bring liquor
in by the carload, deliver it in drays
at the principal corners, and bottles
were arranged on shelves to lure
men to drink. No carload lots are
now shipped, they do not deliver 1t
by the dray load at the street-corner
saloon, nor Is IL sold on the principal
streets nor exhibited on the shelves.
It is brought largely in valises and
carried at night through the alleys.
This is progress toward the elimina-
ton of the evil.
Complaint is made because there
are still violations of the law. The
law against murder has been on the
statute books for over hundred
years, and still some murderers are
caught. The same is true as to thi
law against stealing. Last veal
about $500 automobiles were
stolen in Philadelphia. and 20 pei
cent of them were never found
Yet no one suggests the repeating OF
the law against stealing automobiles
This is the greatest moral reform
ever attempted by law. Its success
is wonderful. The change alread!
wrought is not only very great, blu
it enables us to understand thu
benefits that will come to the coun
try when enforcement is perfected
The chief cause of non-enforcemen
is the appointment Of wet Officials
to enforce a dry law and the Snug
Cling Of liquors into our countr!
from the outside. This will be cor
rected, first, by the appointment o
officials to enforce the law who ar
in sympathy with the law and its en-
forcement; and, second, by SERVING

With the Maryland General AS
sembly on it's last lap, the battle
ground now has shifted from tbs
House to the Senate chamber. Chief
interest and probably the bitteres'
fight in the session will centre on
the Anti-Saloon Leagues dry en-
forcement bill and on proposed race
track legislation.
A ruling given by Attorney Gen
eral Armstrong that the proposed
referendum amendment to the drj
enforcement measure is constitution
al is counted upon to-strengthen the
wet forces in the upper chamber.
Calm confidence pervades the
ranks of the friends of the race
tracks as the anti-betting measure
passed without murmur of opposl
tion by the House nears it's test II
the Senate. The word has gone GU
from the race-track men that 9Th,
Senate is safe" and, though there
has been no definite surface develop
ment to support this view, the fol
lowers of the sport are said to b.
betting even money that the bill will
be stopped.
The anti-race track betting bill /.
expected to reach the floor of the
Senate late this week, although
there has been no definite statement
from the Finance Committee, tt
which it was committed. No report
is likely for two or three days.
In addition to the anti-gambline
bill passed by the House, the Sen
ate has in committee measure, re
ported drawn at the instance Of the
racing men, to increase the daily Il
cense fee of the four one-mile
tracks from $4,000 to $4,000 and
to eliminate the IS per cent. tax or
net income now paid to the tracks
1t is said that this bill will be used
in the upper chamber as a weapon
to defeat the anti-gambling measure
AS this substitute would be certain
to meet defeat at the hands of the
House, the result would be the con-
tinuation of the present Burke law
Probably the least troublesome OF
House measures on which the Sen
ate is to pass is the 'women's rights
BILL" which is being backed by the
Just Government League, but re
garding which the more conservative
League of Women Voters is some
what skeptical.
That the Senate, if it passes this
measure at all, will pass it in the
form in which it went through the
House (wherein it was amended
with regard to exclusion of jury SER
vice and in other particularly may
we'll be doubted.
