INCOME TAX FACTS.

While the word depreciation" is
not used In the revenue act OF. 1921.
1t provides that In computing net in
como there shall be allowed "a rea-
sonable allowance for the exhaustion,
wear and tear Of property used In
the trade or business, including a
reasonable allowance for obsoles-
cence." The deduction is confined to
property actually used in trade or
business. In general it applies to
capital assets, the cost Of which can
not be deducted as an expense.
For example. a lawyer or physician
is not permitted to write off as cur
rent expense the cost of his profess
stonal library, but may deduct an al
lowance for its depreciation.
Deductions are not allowed for de-
probation OF a taxpayers home, the
furnishings therein, his personal ef-
for pleasure or convenience. Depre-
citation does not apply to inventories
or stock in trade, nor to the value of
land, whether improved. or unim-
proved.
Depreciation may be claimed on all
only buildings, but machinery of a
permanent character, automobiles,
farm tractors. mines and mill equip
ment, furniture and books.
The value to be cared for by de-
probation is the cost of the property.
However, in the case Of property ac-
.quired prior to March /; 1919, the de-
duction shall be computed upon its
fair market price or value rs of that
date.

THE LEVIATHAN'S TRIAL TRIP

Inasmuch as Mr.. Lasker, retiring
head of the Shipping Board, has been
subjected to so much criticism over
his proposed trip with the Lev!athan
on its trial voyage after having been
subjected to a measure of RECONSTRUCT
ton, it is only fair to hear what he
has to say to his critics. In the first
place, Mr.. Lasker lets it be kaown
that the trip contemplated was ar.
ranged for by contract under the
Democratic administration and that
such trial is in accordance with
procedure everywhere before vessel
is accepted from it's builders or re-
conditioners. Mr.. Lasker has invited
a number of prominent people to be
present on this trip, and it is this
fact that apparently has called forth
the excited protest of many through
out the country.
1t is estimated that the cost of the
trial trip, which is a technical and
business necessity, will be about one
hundred and twenty thousand dollars.
Of this sum about thirteen thousand
dollars will go to defray the cost of
maintaining the several hundred
guests during the voyage. Perhaps
Mr.. Lasker and the Shipping Board
regard this as good advertising in
vestment, for to ride on the Levia-

THE PRESIDENTS ALASKAN TRIP

Although the political aspects are
not lacking from President Harding's
contemplated speechmaking journey
through the Northwest and visit to
Alaska, yet it is fitting that presi-
dent of the United States should make
a tour of Americas northern empire.
Such a tour, with its attendant pub
licity, will make known to the Ameri-
can people an Alaska whose exist
ence they do not suspect, an Alaska,
not of forbidding climate, of ice and
SHOWS and an occasional gold mine.
Alaska's most generous wealth lies not
in her gold, of which we hear so much,
but in her long list of natural re-
sources covering almost the entire
range of resources found in the mother
country, from richness of soil and sa-
lubrity of climate to the sterner ele-
ments like iron and coal which must
be wrested from the bowels of the
earth with much toll, albeit with more
profit 1t is true that great deal of
northern Alaska is region of much
ice and snow, but it is also true that
Central and Southern Alaska has an
equable climate, and that the southern
most portions have climate no more
rigorous than that of Birmingham.
The presidents tour should reveal
to the executive mind many subjects
worthy of executive and legislative at
tention. There is the great need for
a better system of courts and more
liberal allowance for the maintenance
of law and order, not that Alaska is
lawless, but there is not that enforce
ment of law which prevails just across
the border in the Canadian Klondike,
for example. Then there are the gov
eminent railways, the mail service,
the immense tracts of timber, and the
huge natural deposits of valuable
mineral, many of which have only
been guessed at, for there has been
no detailed survey of resources. There
is need of such survey and such a
compendium of infir1mation about this
great empire of ours as will enlighten
the heads of our government and en-
able our congress to make wise and
intelligent laws for the country.
Under present laws the develop
ment of Alaska is held back and even
the white population already there is
withdrawing, because Of the govern
ment's stern restrictions upon what in
any other country are legitimate en-
terprises. The president will doubt
less win new vision of this neglected
country and its legislative needs. If
so, his journey will have been we'll
worth while.
