SOME RECENT CHANGES
MADE IN REVENUE ACT
In Respect To Exchanges Of
Property And Income Tax
Of Alien Sitizens

ATLANTA, March 26.-The fol.
lowing statement is issued by Collec-
tor of Internal Revenue j Z. Rose
for the District of Georgia:
Administrative measures have been
taken by the bureau Of internal rev.
AIe to carry into effect two import
amendments to the Revenue Act
1921, adopted during the closing
davs of the session, in respect to ex.
changes of property and income tax
of nonresident aliens. Section POP
Of the act is amended by eliminating
the provision allowing the exchange
free from tax of stocks, bonds, notes,
chooses in action, certificates of trust
or beneficial interest, and limits the
eases where securities NAV be ex-
changed for other securities without
the realization of taxable income to
those cases where the exchange is in
connection with the reorganization of
one or more corporations. As a con-
sequence of. this amendment, any ex-
change CT securities effected suisse
ouent to January 1, 1923, may result
in taxable income or deductible loss,
the amount of which should be COM
puted as if the securities had been
sold for an amount of cash equivalent
to the fair market value Of the prop
crtv received in exchange. Section
2O2, prior to its amendment, provid-
ed for the exchange of property held
for investment for other property of
like kind without the realization of
taxable income.
Section 202 is amended also to
provide that in the case. of tax free
exchanges; for example, exchanges
Of securities, in connection with the
reorganization of a corporation,
where money is received "to boot"
the amount of gain realized from the
exchange is the excess of the sum of
the money and the fair market value
of the property received in exchange
over the cost {where applicable the
fair market value as of March l,
1879 of the property exchanged,
provided, however, that the amount
Of taxable gain resulting from the
exchange shall not exceed the amount
Of money received! For example, if,
prior to the enactment Of this amend
ment, a taxpayer exchanged, in con-
nection with the Reorganization of a
corporation, stock which cost him
81 900 for other stock of a fair mar
ket value Of $1,100, together with
$500 in cash, no taxable income re-
suited therefrom. Under this amend
ment, the amount Of gain resulting
from this exchange would be $500.
but tie taxable gain would be only
$500, the amount of money received
in exchange.
The effect of the amendment in re-
spect to income tax of nonresident
aliens is to give nonresident aliens

untry for example, Canada, the
benefit of the 4 percent rate of nor
NAL tax on the first $4,000 or net in

THE FIRST CIVIC DUTY

Ferd Garretson gave the Rotary Club some excellent ideas
for civic betterment in his report on Wednesday. His one big
point was: Stop knocking the city; if you can't say something
good about it, keep still. All his other suggestions were excellent
too, but until the people stop knocking We are not going to get
very far in making Perth Amboy the city that we want it to be-
1t is rather difficult, however, to boost when there seems to
be so much to be done, and with such little progress being made
toward accomplishing anything. Then, too, with the approaches
to the city torn up and the u~nspeakable detours, it takes a real
cptimist to keep smiling and whoop things along. But, after all,
the fact that there are detours means that improvements are
being made and think how fine things will be when the i'm
proyements are finished!
The city is short on parks and places for the people to play,
and there are no bathing beaches worthy of the name. But the
city has the property, all right, and sooner or later this develop
ment is going to take place. The sewer situation is under con-
sideration now. The City Plan Commission is giving this mat
ter its immediate attention and, with City Engineer Booz on
the job doing everything he can to solve the problem, there is
reason to believe that something will be done toward getting rid
Of the sewers on the south shore. Once this is accomplished the
popular demand for a park and recreation center along the water
viii compel the city officials to develop the tract.
If the members of the Rotary Club will heed what the chair
man of its civic committee told them about less knocking and
more boosting, or, if one can't boost, say nothing at all, Perth
Amboy will be in a fair way to go forward once more. If the
people who live in a city do not think well of it, you can hardly
expect anybody else to think so. The Rotary Club has enough
influential men to really accomplish something if they start
it is worth, overlooking the faults for the present, will soon get
everybody, except the chronic crouch, thinking the same way,
and then the things that are Objectionable can be rectifed.

RAG CHEWING

Do you talk entertaininglyf When you begin speaking do
the others 'hush up" and listen with INTEREST," ia ho"e'
Kansas country town philosopher, thinks the only reason
any one ever listens to other peoples talk is because ne knows
it'll be his turn next.
The art of good conversation is waning in our country,
says DIR. Henry Van Dyke, professor of English literature a
Princeton.
He blames, principally, fast talking.
The early white generations in America developed CONVEX
sation into an art. 1t was a natural development. 10 start
with, few of them could read fluently or write leglbly. In
remote communities, in particular, the clergyman dd me
writing for his flock, keeping the social records. The store
keeper and schoolmaster helped make out the business records
and write the occasional letter to relatives and TRENDS pacK III
civilization.
With writing and reading difficult, it was natural for the
people to concentrate on conversation as an outlet Tor tner
craving for selfexpression.
Conversation became an art, despite It's conventional Ior'
malty.
Then, too, there were no entertainments such as radio and
movies in those days. Books were scarce, newspapers and
magazines few. People didn't have much to do, except talk,
in spare time. News and exchange OF ideas had TO be mostly
by the talk route.
Small wonder they were able to become conversational
artists. The yoluble talker is rarely interesting, but he at least
can distribute words like the spray from a bug-gun. !
As time goes on, conversation in America is doomed stead
lily to become less and less an art. Speech itself also VIII
steadily drop out Of use. This is inevitable because mod
ern means of communication are making it easier to commune
cate by the eye than by the ear. Where a manager used
to open the door and call out into the factory, he now turns to
his stenographer or talks a "memo" into the wax-record ma
chine.
Some critics think we write too much, in average life. But
they are wrong. We have to write as much as we do (nearly,
at least) because we talk less.
Then, too, average mentality is rapidly becoming keener,
and fewer words, either printed or spoken, are necessary to
convey an idea and make it comprehensive. In days not long
we were talking to William, right after l said so-and-so, he
did a peculiar thing" etc., etc, etc.
Now the man raises one eyebrow and says to his pal:
"Did you get that?"
Telepathy-thought transference by a semi-radio route
is coming into general use, crude and limited at present, but
the forerunner of something greater to come.

PUT HERBERT STREET IN SHAPE

A new deal is coming to the city in the matter of detours
with the opening of New Brunswick avenue and the diverting OF
traffic to the shore around by the way of Fords. 1t is up to Perth
Amboy to make the most of this change.
The new route selected is in good condition excepting for
Herbert street. This thoroughfare is only one block long, to be
sure, but that one block is enough to spoil an otherwise good i'm
preston. 1t is to be hoped that the street department will do
everything within its power to fix up Herbert street. Some work
is being done there now, it is true, but once the heavy traffic
sets in it will require constant attention. Plenty of CLIP and a
scraper to cut off the high spots, with sprinkler to keep down the
dust and, incidentally, prevent the top surface from blowing
away, will accomplish a whole lot.
The city's streets are gradually being put in first class condi
ton. The holes are being filed and the rough places resurfaced
1t is good work and will mean much in restoring confidence and
creating a good impression. But because of this improvement
that is going on, it is all the more desirable that the effect of all
this good work is not lost by a horrible condition on Herbert
street. Surely this one short block ought to be kept smooth,
even if it is an ordinary dirt road.

c.. Are mosquitoes attracted to
certain colors?-R. +. d.
A. Mosquitoes in the house are
apt to take refuge behind objects
and are cunning enough to settle on
dark wood rather than light. 1t is
said that they are attracted to black
clothing rather than grey or light
brown and that they prefer dark
blue and violet to yellow and red.

grade used on railroads ?-B. B.
A. 1t is used in reference to the
incline of the track and means that
there is a rise of n foot to each

THE GREATEST GOVERNMENT EXPENSE

President Harding has scored again. In his address at Salt
Lake City Tuesday night he called attention to the wonderful
saving that has been accomplished by the federal government
and the reduction of the national debt, and contrasted that
achievement with the constantly increasing cost and growing debt
of the state; county and municipal governments.
Figures are dry and unrnteresing. They do not mean much
to the great mass of the people. In brief, the nations debt has
been reduced at the rate Of about a billion dollars a year since
the armistice. Thanks to the adoption of the budget system by
congress, the federal government closes the year with a surplus
of something like $300O00,00O
When it comes to state, county and municipal governments,
however, everything is on the increase. The census bureau shows
that the revenues of state governments have grown from 1868,
100000 in 1913, to $685. 100000 in 1921. AS for cities, the GEN.
sus bureau shows that in 1913 there were 227 municipalities that
collected in taxes $89OOOO,000; in 1921 these same 227 cities
had collected for their local use 81, 57, N0 900.
It is plain, then, that the work of reducing expenses must
be centered at present on local government. improvements must
be made and expenses are great, but by careful management

farm land. The season is short and
frosts, even in summer play havoc
with growing things. The Indians
planted and harvested their meager
crops feeling that there was no use
in putting much effort into the I'M
responsive land. Drought and bad
luck with their livestock, on when
they depended, brought the Black
foot tribe almost to bankruptcy in
1920. Two-thirds of the 5000 mem
bers of the tribe were then depend
emf on Government gratuity, a sad
/ state for these self-respecting In
dams.
Heap Hard Bumped"
A cartoon drawn by one of the
Indians shows a Blackfoot brave in
1920, thin, bent, and with the eagle
feathers OF his ~headdresa broken,
indicating great misfortune. ME
heap hard bumped are the words
put in the old Indians mouth by the
artist. The same Indian in 1921 is
represented with head erect and new
outstanding feathers in his hair. He
is starting on the upgrade and he
carries a shovel and a hoe.
This tells the story. The Blackfoot
tribe has been organized into a farm
ing and livestock association. II
borrowed from the Government to
buy livestock, and the money is be-
ing paid back in four yearly pay
ments.
Different sections of the reserva-
ton are divided into local chapters
of the association with officers and
a constitution. Each chapter is
pledged to show a cooperative spirit
N the reservation, to promote ag-
riculture and stock raising, and to
work toward a high standard OF
home conditions. A sawmill and a
flour mill have been installed and
two threshing machines have been
bought.
The result of this cooperative pro-
ject is that good yields are far more
common than they have W. been
In the rast and the Indians are prov
ing themselves capable farmers in
spite Ct hardicaps.
a survey of the achievements Of
ind yidual members of the associa-
ton shows tkaI they are producing
enough food to insure a living. and
some have a surplus of flour and
vegetables to sell.
Two Guns is one of these ~associa-
ton farmers, and next to his connec-
ton with the buffalo nickel he is
proudest of his farming venture. A
government agents report says of
Two Guns:
This year he planted one sack
Of potatoes and dug % sacks; he
sowed n sack of oats and threshsd
II sacks. He also sowed some all
falfa and got a good stand. and he
raised a good crop of vegetables.
The report of one other typical
Blackfoot farmer will show how the
Indians are aroused to real interest
in winning a livelihood from the
soil. Mike Shcrtman, Sc years old,
is reported as being lame in one leg,
but able to work.
1.-TWO years ago" the agent says,
"he told me he had never drawn
rations, but would need help that
winter. The only food in his house
was about two loaves of bread, a
piece of beef head, a soup bone, and
a few choke berries. There were no
groceries or flour in the house; he
said he had no money to buy any.
He said that he had never be-
fore had sc much food to go into
a winter with in all his life, and that
he just looked owe at those old

said, Come on, old winter. I no
