INCOME TAX FACTS.
No. II.

In computing net income a taxpayer
incurred in his trade or business, or
in any transaction entered into for
profit" or IL from fires, storms. ship
wreck. or other casualty. or from
theft. Deductions for losses are per-
mitted only to the extent they are
not compensated for by insurance or
otherwise.
- manufacturer may be compelled
to scrap machinery because 1t has
gradually become obsolete. He may
deduct the loss sustained II he has
sold or otherwise abandoned the old
machinery. Usually to be deductible
as a loss the assets upon which the
loss has been sustained must have
completely disappeared as resource
to the taxpayer.
If a taxpayer demolishes a building
used in his trade or business and re-
places 1t he may deduct the loss sus-
tained. including reasonable allow.
ance for depreciation and salvage, IL
any. But If he acquires as the site
of q new building land occupied by an
old building, demolition of the old
building is not considered loss. EN-
penditure in such connection is an
investment Of capital, therefore not
deductible.
Losses connected with transactions
"entered into for profit" not con-
nected with the taxpayers trade or
business, must conform closely to the
wording of the statute to be allowed
For example, a lawyer may purchase
a warehouse with the object Of de-
irving an income from the rental; a
physician buys shares OF stock on
which he hopes to make a profit. Both
sustain losses upon a subsequent sale.
which are deductible. But II either
should sell his residence, which at the
time Of purchase was bought without
intention of resale. the loss, IL any,
would not be deductible. because II
was not a transaction entered into
for profit"
Similarly, a loss connected with the
sale of an automobile bought for the
pleasure or convenience of the TAX
payer cannot be deducted.

Wages for Wives.
(Philadelphia Ledger. !


 With all my worldly goods thee endow' is loo fanciful and insecure pledge to suit some of the delegates to the International Woman's Suffrage Al lance
 They think that's all very well for the marriage service, like the bridal veil and rose petals and the sweetly sentimental strains Mendelssohns Wedding March. For the hard and sometimes grim years after the honeymoon, when rice is merely something to be boiled with raisins for cheap yet tasty dessert they ask something poetic but more coeetgble before the law.
 In a word, they want wages for wives They want the lawmakers of the world decree that a certain portion of mans salary income shall be allotted to his wife. If he does not hand it over voluntarily they want to attach his pay envelope
 The loudest advocates Of the measure it is in- teresting to note. were the delegates from England where wife has little legal standing: it's most yig- orous opponents, the Scandinavian women whose national laws give wife support commensurate with Ter husbands position The women from the North argued that wages dshonored the married state and reduced wives 10 the position of paid housekeepers
 ffCw much is wife worth week? The ueston might well be eountered with another.. How much s huband worth week? The statistician who can answer either question could appraise the sunrise and write price tags for the flowers of the field and the soft winds of summer.
 The ordinary pay of domestcity is struggle and and the interest the mortgage and the cost of shoes Tor restless little feet In word it is sight draft on the not always solvent Bank of Life

Talking Plain Business.
lCincinnati Ennnirer.l

canada desires to enact treaty of reciprocity With the United States whenever Washington is ready
 This sounds like good business. It is good busi ness and good morals live as noighbors properly should Hive. Carried 10 it's logical conclusion 1t simply means that application of the golden rule to international rea tions.
 But canada is not ideazing moralizing She Is talking plain busnessl The Canadian Minister of rlhahce made this plain in his speech when present. Ing his annual budget. In plain terms the leeisla ton dealing with the budget embodies a recproeal offer.
 Without going into details, and looking to tba larger possibilities of such policy the proposal hussests arrangements of mutual advantage which hhsht materallze in tremendous international pra- sies ana preht Of course problems would arise but 'hese should present no insuperabe obstacle to such an agreement between the two Governments
 one method suggested will indicate the definite eharaetr or the proposed reciprocity as the Minister sees it: - ny Niiii''ca
 II the President of the United States under tba authority or the United States tariff act of 1922 do tefmines 10 reduce by 50 per cent the duties imnosad py such act on the following articles viz cattle wheat wheat -four oats barley, potatoes onions timber, hay and fish, the Government by order in council may make such reduction of duty on smilar afdcies imported into Canada from the United Satas as may be deemed reasonable by way of comnensa ton TOT such produce imported into the Irnitas States" ~ o"iteo
