YOUR INCOME TAX

Increase in the value Of property
accruing before March /, 1913, is not
taxable, even though 1t was realized
that the constitutional amendment
authorizing congress TO tax incomes
of individuals became effective as
Of March i. 1913. The revenue act
Of 1928 contains provisions for de-
termining the gain or loss on the sale
or other disposition of property ac-
uuired by purchase before March /.
1913. The basis provided is the
cost of such property or the fair
market value as Of March /. 1913.
whichever is greater. For example,
a taxpayer bought in 1910 property
for which he paid $4,000. The value
on March ]. 1913. was $4,000. He
sold 1t in 1923 for $4,000. The
March ]. 1918. value being greater
than the cost of the property. the
taxable gain Is figured on that basis
and amounts To $4,000.
A taxpayer bought in 1910 prom
ertv for which he maid s5.0On. ITS
valre on March I. 1913. was $500.
and in 1923 he sold it for $4,000. In
this examine the taxpayer bases his
loss on the March J. 1919. value.
which was greater than tha cost.
and the deductible loss is $500.

NURMI'S ALIBI

NEW YORK, Feb. 25.-P-Un-
less ne can find an alibi Tor mis- nom
appearance at the National A. A. u.
championships. Saturday, Paavo
Nurmi may do a fade out for the
next six months by request.
Nurmi. already under suspension,
must appear before the registration
committee OF the Metropolitan asso-
ctaticn, A. A. u, to explain, why he
withdrew from the two mile steeple-
chase an hour before that event was
to be run. Unless Paavo can offer a
legitimate excuse. the chances are
he will be plastered with a long
suspension.
Hugo Quist, generalissimo OF
Nurmi'S campaign. said Nurmi had
gone stale and IA suffering from a
bad cold.
But some critics declare Quist
learned Saturday afternoon that
Elmo Purje, younger Finn. would
start IN the steeplechase instead OF
Of the two mile flat race in which he
was to have met Edwin Wide, the
Swedish s-choolnnaster. Nurmi al
ready had been charged with side
stepping n duel with Wide when he
entered the steeplechase and some
critics contended that Paavo. rather
than face so formidable a rival as
Purje In the steeplechase, decided
not 10 run at all.
IL appears that Nurmi would have
been trouficed had he entered either
event. Purje broke the worlds rec
ord for the steeplechas and Wide. I'm
winning the two mile flat race. COW
cred the distance IN 9 minutes and
seven seconds. much better time
than anything Nurmi has done on

University OF Texas, and renting

longing TO the state, have been
passed. Gov. Dan Moody will like
ly veto the land bill, it has been in
dictated.
Five general policy measures Of
Gov. Moody's administration all
have failed so far to get affirmative
action. The highway bonds bill,
generally admitted the biggest item
before the session. has not yet
passed the senate and faces a stiff
battle In both branches, II reached
by the lower house at all. Prison
relocation has been in a memorable
battle. with the Moody plan Of an
open relaction policy already de-
feated in the house and the bill so
changed in the senate as TO be I'M
acceptable to its sponsors.
Short Ballot Doomed
The short ballot. third Moody pto-
posal. will not be reached. Civil
service was killed outright and the
regulation OF public utilities through
n new appointive commission has
been abandoned until the special
session.
All but the highway bond issue
submission hkely will be submitted
by the governor at the coming
special session. Already the hang
over on the policy bills indicates the
special session will IN manv wavs be
more important and significant
than the regular session.
All general appropriations bills
will be passed 10 the snecial session,
despite attempts OF the senate 10
dispose OF them during the regular
term.
A horde OF local and special and
nearly 800 general bills will die on

has become apparent. The Univer-
sity OF Texas land lease bill. giving
control OF leases to regents. with the
land commissioner constituting a

apparently will be passed.
"Thev Shall Not Pass"
The anti-bolter bill and the free

rights of individuals in primaries
have been killed. The state phar-
