Income Tax

Business expenditures are not al
ways business expenses within the
meaning of the income tax law. For
example, merchant may build an
addition to his warehouse at a cost
of 100000. This is a capital ex-
penditure for an addition to his as
sets. Capital expenditures are not
deductible. Distinction is made be-
tween expenditures for an asset and
expenditures in connection with an
asset. If the merchant, during the
year, should spend $500 for repairs
to his warehouse, such as painting
the roof or replacing broken win
dowrs, he may deduct such amount
from gross income as a business ex-
pense, provided his plant or property
account is not increased by this
amount.

farmer may not deduct the cost OF

allowed to deduct the cost of hoes,
rakes, and small tools which are

The purchase price OF an autono-

l"1 HE Penrod bill-prohibiting
II location of the war memorial
- building in any block of the
plaza where the commission doesn't
hold all the property-passed the
Senate without vote against it.
Only two more hurdles intervene
between it and the statute books.
If it becomes law it will seriously
disarrange the plans and cause the
loss of some money so far expended.
The plans, which this bill over
turns with an easy wave of the
senatorial hand, were adopted after
mature elaboration and consulta-
ton with architectural and artistic
authorities.
Perhaps they are wrong. Re-
location of the main building or
presence of the churches may not
detract from the artistic harmony of
the plaza. That's a matter of
opinion. Some would say that filing
stations on other plaza corners
wouldn't spoil its beauty. The. sale
Of lots for such purposes might de-
fray the cost of the memorial build.

However If the project is to be-
come as magnificent a reality as the
state feeling and pride that
prompted its undertaking the
opinion of experts. not laymen, must
be followed
The memorial is no temporary ex-
pedient. It's intended to be some
thing of which the State win be
proud for generations, The project
can stand delay better than hap

EURASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-Presi-
.lWl dent Coolidge's urgent plea
Ill for stricter economy in the
conduct of the Federal Government
has centered attention on the fact
that the Nation is footing an annual
expense account over three times as
large as the yearly pre-war outgo.
In 1914 the total Federal disburse-
ments amounted to $1.045, 6OO,S61
For the fiscal year 1925. Uncle Sam S
expense account will be 1884, 083,-
sos.
Examination of these two sets of
figures. however, reveals the as
tonishing fact that except for the
expenditures growing directly out of
the World War, the United States
is today paying less for Government
than in 1914.
If the sums now being spent on
Interest and principal payments on
the national debt, and on the up
keep of the Veterans Bureau, are
subtracted from the total Federal
outgo there remains an annual ex.
penditure of $1,712,275,0 00 Included
in this total is the sum of $40, 000,-
900 that it costs to maintain the
shipping board, and the sum Of
$3.50 900. 900 that has been added to
the expenses Of the Army and the
Navy. These costs, results of the
war, if subtracted from the present
outgo, would bring the comparative
cost down another $290,000,0O0, or
to 81, 422, 275,OO0.
That sum, of course, is still larger
than the billion spent in 1914. but
in the meantime the value Of the
dollar has diminished very sharply
A few weeks ago the Department
Of Labor statistics showed that it
now takes approximately $40 to
buy the quantity of food, clothing
and housing that could be obtained
for 81 in 1914.

Government that had been estab-
iished in 1914 very few, except the

Footing Uncle Sans Expense Account

Army and Navy, have allowed their
expenses to increase as rapidly as
the dollar has gone down. Some de-
partments, if the comparatively less
valuable dollar is taken into con-
sideration, are running on smaller
budgets today than ten years ago.
