Tax COnsultant

| Another provision of the new law
which will affect great number of
taxpayers is that section pertaining
to the treatment Of capital gains and
losses, which is defined as follows:
! Capital gains and capital losses
refer, only to taxable gains and de-
ductible losses resulting from the
sale or exchange of property held by
"a taxpayer (other than a corpora
tion) for more than two years, other
than property which would properly
be included in inventory, or property
held primarily for sale in the tax
payers trade. or business.
The term "capital net gain" means
the excess of the total capital gains
over the sum Of (a) total capital
loss, CD "capital Deductions" and
(c) the. amount, if any, by which a
, taxpayers ordinary deductions en-
ceed his gross income, exclusive of
capital gain. The term capital de-
ductions" includes commissions paid
brokers or agents in connection
with the sale of the property, and
interest, taxes or other carrying
charges allowable to the property
sold during the year in which the
sale occurs.
A taxpayer (other than corpora
tion) who for any taxable year de-
rives a capital net gain" may, in
lieu of the ordinary tax, elect to be
taxed as follows:
A partial tax shall be computed
in the regular way upon his net in
come (excluding capital gains) cap
ital losses and capital deductions), ,
and the total tax shall be this
amount plus 1914 per cent Of his
capital net gain.
The term capital net loss" means
the excess of total capital losses and
capital deductions over total capital
gains.
Where Il taxpayer (other than a
corporation) sustains capital net
loss," partial tax is computed in
the regular way upon his net income
(cxcluding capital gains, capital loss
es and capital deductions), from
which tax there is deducted an
amount equal to 1871 per cent of the
"capital net loss" In no case, how
ever, may the tax so computed be
less than if computed in the ordinary
manner, without regard to the provi-
sions relative to capital gain or loss.
The provisions of this section ap-
ply to members of partnership, to
an estate or trust, and to bene-
ficiaries of an estate or trust, with
respect to their proportionate part
of the capital net gain or capital net
loss of the partnership, estate or
trust.

FARM RELIEF
PROGRAM NOW
BEING PUSHED
House Passes Strong and Pur'
nell Bills, Part of Re-
lief Program
SENT TO THE SENATE
Both Senate and House Com

Along Activities
SENT TO THE SENATE

Washington, Feb. 1l.--(By the A
P0-The problem Of working out a
farm relief program to be pressed
for action in the remaining three
weeks Of the session continued to
occupy the Senate and House agri-
culture committee today, both hav-
ing called members of the Presi-
dents agricultural conference for
questioning on the conference recon-
mendations.
Chairman Carey of the conference
was the first witness on the House
committees list for the day, while
the Senate committee had called Will
liam Jardne to continue his explain
alton Of the conference proposals be-
gun yesterday.
Chairman Haugen of the House
committee. who had drafted for COM
mittee study today bill to carry out
the conference recommendation with
regard to cooperative marketing, con-
tinued optimistic as to the chances
Of getting this feature of the pro-
gram through Congress before ad-
journment. Some members Of the
Senate committee, however, were
frankly doubtful that their commit
tee itself could reach any agreement
on farm aid program and more so
that substantial program could
be put through the Senate in the
short time remaining.
The House. in the mean time. has
moved forward speedily to carry out
part Of the conference program by
passing and sending to the Senate
the Strong and Purnell bills.
The Strong bill, passed yesterday,
would permit national agricultural
credit associations. to rediscount
notes with the Federal intermediate
Credit banks. Although designed
primarily to aid cattle raisers. it's
would extend to all farm
ing activities.
The Purnell bill, put through at
the same time. would increase the
amound of federal aid to agricultur-
al experiment stations.

KANSAN SAID
TO BE PICKED
FOR U. S. POST
Jardine Likely to be Next
Secretary of Agriculture

Washington, Feb. 1i.-Although
the White House withheld comment,
officials elsewhere indicated belief
today that William M. Jardine of
Kansas had virtually been decided
on by President Coolidge for Secre
tary of Agriculture.
The Kansas delegation in Con-
grcss, which once endorsed J. J. Moh-
ler, also of Kansas, for the post, met
and changed it's support to Mr.. Jar
dine. Members of the delegation
have been in constant consultation
with Mr.. Coolidge but they declined
to say whether they had definite
information as to his decision.
Mr.. Jardine himself, who is men,
ber of the presidents agricultural
commission, conferred with Mr..
Coolidge during the day. Officials
said the visit had to do with agricul-
tural questions.

OPPOSITION TO
BONDING PLAN
is EXPRESSED
Ward County Senator Op-
posed to $1O,OOO,OOO Bond
Resolution

Senator Walter Bond. Independ-
ent, Ward county, while emphatical-
ly opposed to the principle involved
in the concurrent resolution as pro-
posed for referendum to the voters
OF the state on the proposition of
bonding the state for $10,0O0,OO0 to
pay off depositors in closed banks,
today declared that if the proposal
does 60 to the voters it should take
in a lot more territory.
The resolution as drawn calls for
a special election on May 5, next
for the purpose of voting on a S10,-
100000 bond issue to be issued and
sold by the state for the purpose of
paying off depositors in banks which
have closed between July l, 1921 and
May !, 1925, under the theory that
the state is liable for such losses
under the Guaranty Fund commits
sion act.
"The Guaranty Fund Commission
was established in 1917" Senator
Bond declares, "and there is no rea-
son why discrimination should be
shown. At the present ting there is
about $26,OOO,OO0 owing to depositors
OF closed banks which have become
insolvent during the period from
July l., 1925, to the present date.
These banks have about $l3,O0O,OOO
assets, much of which paper is
questionable"
81 do not believe that we should
show any discrimination and | be-
lieve the banks which closed prior
to July 1, 1921 and which were mem
bers of. under the N. d. Guaranty
Fund should be included" the senate
added, indicating his intention to
seek such change in committee,
which would also increase the bond
issue to $20,OOO,OOO.
The Babcock resolution came up
before the banking committee of the
senate on Monday morning and a de-
lay of eight days in it's consideration
was granted. The Ward county
senator saw in this move to per-
nit the proponents of the measure
time in which to marshall forces
and bring in wholesale requests for
opportunity to vote on the measure.
"A special election would cost at
the most conservative estimate ap-
proximately $12O,OOO. The annual
interest charge for 80 years would
be $500, 0,00O-even on the $1O,OOO,OOO
bond issue. On the $2O,OOO,OOO bond
issue to pay off ali depositors of
closed banks it would run one mil
lion dollars a year." Senator Bond
declared. "This would all be out-go
with nothing coming back to the
state except the small percentage of
the whole amount advanced collect
ed through realization of the ques-
tionable assets of the closed banks.
am satisfied that the taxpayers
of North Dakota do not want an ad-
ditional $1,120,000 slapped on to
their burden in the next year."

HOPE TO FIND
FL0YDC0LLINS
IN CAVE SOON
Those in Charge of Rescue
Work Believe They Will
Reach Him in 20 Hours
SOUNDS HAVE FAILED
Electric Light Wire Fails To
Record His Breathing
Today

Cave City, Ky, Feb. 1l.-(By the
A. PA definite connection be-
tween the rescue shaft and the tun-
mel in which Floyd Collins had been
imprisoned for, several days was ex-
pected to be reached very soon, it
was declared this morning by H. 7.
Carmichael. experimenting the sink
ing of the shaft.
81 am prepared to find at any
time definite connection between
the shaft and the cavern" Carmi-
chael said. "More crevices are be-
ing found. rocks are getting larger,
sand has given way to gravel and
more cave crickets are reported by
the diggers."
For the first time the amplifier
tests across the electric light wires
leading down to Collins failed COM
pletely this morning to record any
thing in the head phones. The last
successful test at midnight repeated
the "breathing" sounds at the regu-
lar rate of 18 per minute. but H. G.
Lane, manager Of the electric appara-
tus at the cave, said the tests indi-
Gated the globe was out of Collins
socket or burned out.
Carmichael would not estimate how
soon the Sand Cave tunnel might be
pierced, but said:
I'VE appear to be very close, and
| believe we, will get Collins out
alive"
Twenty hours was given by res
cuers at o'clock as the maximum
time they expected to take to extri-
cate Collins. The workers said that
if he was not out of the hole in
that time. they would be sorely dis
appointed. They were hopeful of
reaching Collins much sooner, saying
that it might come at any minute.

MOVIE. LOCAL
OPTION BILL
Is UP TODAY
Comes Before the State Senate
For Vote on it's Final
Passage
X EPORT ACCEPTED u
Senate Takes Report on Meas
ure After a Hot Debate
on Bill

It, The senate yesterday afternoon by
a margin Of a single vote accepted
the report of majority of the COM
mittee on state affairs, recommend
ing that S. B. 1913, Senator w. S.
Whitman's bill for leaving the ques-
ton of Sunday moving picture shows
to local option be passed as amend
ed in the committee.
There was hot debate before the
roll call was taken, in the course OF
which the bill was subjected to fierce
denunciations on the part of its op-
ponents, and defended by its friends
on the ground that it simply left
the matter up to the people of the
various communities.
The bill came before the senate
on a divided report from the COM
mittee on state affairs. the majority
report being for passage as amend
ed, and the minority for indefinite
postponement. Senator Miklethun
moved the acceptance of the minority
report, and was supported in this
motion by Senator Dell Patterson.
"If this bill passes the people of
this state will spend millions of dol
lars for Sunday movies" shouted the
militant senator from Renville. "Peo-
pie have been telling us to milk more
cows to get more money, but we've
got sow thistle, and quack grass al
ready, and this will be two much of
burden on the cows. Let the
theater men milk more cows l say"
Asking For Vote
"We are not asking you to open
up the moving picture theaters on
Sunday" said Senator Whitman Of
Grand Forks, eve are simply asking
that the people be given an oppor-
tunity to say whether they want
them or not"
"This bill simply puts the matter
in the hands of the people" declar-
ed Senator Hamilton, of McHenry.
~ say that if the laboring man or
farmer who works all week wants to
60 to the movies on Sunday he ought
to have a chance to. "If there is

six days of the week don't see why
they should be wrong on the seventh.
"In this country church and state
are supposed to be separate and this
legislature has no moral right. to
legislate on religion, which is what
the ban on Sunday theaters amounts
to" Senator Hamilton continued. 1--WE
are asked to consider the effect on
the children; well, want to" say
right now that I'd lot rather my
son was at the movies on Sunday
afternoon, than have him driving
around in an auto full of hooch en-
dangering his own life, and that of
everyone else on the road"
Senator Ritchie took issue with
Senator. Hamilton. "If this old world
of ours doesn't halt pretty quick
the Devil is going to get the major
ity of its citizens" he said. "One of
the things that is hurrying the world
to perdition fastest is Sunday NOV
ing picture shows.
81 charge all you senator's not to
forget the commandment given from
Mount Sinai Remember the Sabbath
Day to keep it Holy. The Sabbath
should not be desecrated by Sunday
moving pictures, or by Sunday base
ball either.
