Inquiries received by the Bureau
of Internal Revenue indicate con-
fusion in the minds Of the writer's
concerning the difference between
business expenditures and business
expenses. Business expenditures
/ not always business expenses and
therefore deductible within the
meaning Of the income-tax law. A
merchant may build an addition to
his store at a cost of 2 5000. This
is a capital expenditure for an adj
dition to his assets. Capital eXpen-
ditures are not deductible.
Medical, law, or other professional
books. machinery, tools, implements,
or surgical instruments purchased
bv a taxpayer for use ID his bust
ness. trade, or profession, and which
are of a permanent character, are
capital expenditures and their cost
is not deductible.
The purchase price OF an auto
mobile. even used wholly LOT
business or professional purposes. is
a capital expenditure and not de-
ductible. The cost Of gasoline, re-
pairs, and upkeep Of an automo-
bile is ~deductible if used only in
business. If used partly for business
and partly for pleasure and conven-
fence. such cost should be appor-
toned accordingly. The proportion
of cost Justly attributable for buSl-
ness purposes is deductible as a ne
ceSSary expense.

Freeport Texas has shown erratic
sales and earning power, with the re-
suit that its divided payments have
fiuctuated accordingly. From 1919 to
1927. dividends were suspended. In
1927 S425 and in 1928, a total of
$3.50 was paid. Earnings last year
were $449, not covering the dividend.
AS a result, although the company paid
81 regular and IS cents extra the first
three quarters, the extra was reduced
to Is cents and in the first quarter OF
this year was done away with entirely.
The company's earnings for the past
two years would indicate that the pres
ent 81 dividend could be maintained
but the erratic fluctuations OF earnings
and dividends have depressed the price
Of the stock to about As. where 1t yields
8 per cent and sells about 10 times last
years earnings. This high yield 1ndi-
Gates the uncertainty regarding the
future. for in view of the stocks past
performance it Is regarded as specula-
tive.
