ARTICLE NO. 10.

Travelling expenses form an i'm
portant Item in the returns of many
taxpayers. The revenue act of 1928
provides that travelling expenses, in
Guiding railroad fares and the entire
amount expended for meals and lodg-
ing when away from home solely on a
business trip may be deducted by d
taxpayer from gross income in deter
mining net income upon which the tax
is to be assessed. On a journey for
other than business purposes. rail
road fares are personal expenses and
the cost of meals and lodgings are
living expenses. Therefore. they can
not be deducted.
If a salesman is not reimbursed by
his employer for his travelling ex-
pcnses or if employed on commits
sion basis with no expenses allow
ance, his entire travelling expenses
may be duducted from gross income
If he receives a salary and Is also re
paid for travelling expenses, he should
include in his return of gross income
the amount OF repayment and may de-
duct such expenses.
A salesman receiving a salary and
an allowance for meal and lodging
should include the allowance in gross
income, from which may be deducted
the cost of meals and lodging.
Only such travelling expenses as
are reasonable and necessary in the
conduct of the business and directly
attributable to it." may be deducted.
Examples are payment for the use OF
a sample room. or the hire of vehicles
used in visiting customers.
A taxpayer claiming a deduction for
travelling expenses must attach to his
return a statement showing the ma
ture of the business in which en-

deduction. Among the other ex-
penSes' are tips, which are held to be
a part of travelling expenses, provided
they are reasonable in amount.
Claims for travelling expenses must
be substantiated when required by the
commissioner of internal revenue by
records showing in detail the amount
and nature of the expenses incurred.
Suburhanites who commute daily
from their homes to their place of

NEW YORK, January 2i.-"With no

"As in the first half of the month the
outstanding feature is still in the
high rate of mill operations. accom-
panied by an urimpeded flow of material
into all the channels of consumption.
While Chicago recently had a dis
tinct lead in percentage of capacity
in operations, the Carnegie Steel Co.
and several Independents in the Pitts
burgh and nearby districts have
made gains this month. Carne gle
plants are now exceeding the SO per
cent of last week and the Central
Western industry as a whole is above
S5 per cent"
No change has occurred this week
In either of the Iron Age composite
prices. Pig iron remains at S22.50
after 10 successive weekly increases
while finished steel is 1850 cents per
