Two of the terms used in the income
tax law, namely, gross income" and
net income" should be noted partic-
ulsrly, inasmuch as they are vitality
important to the whole subject Of the
income tax.
All income derived from any sources
whatever. unless exempt from tax by
law, should be included in gross income.
The gross income Of the usual mer-
chandizing or mercantile business con-
sists of the total sales, less the cost OF
goods sold, plus any income from in
veStments and incidental or outside OPP
srations or sources. Subtractions should
not be made for selling expenses, de-
probation, losses or other items not
ordinarily used in computing the cost
of goods sold.
For example, If the gross sales were
$50 900, the cost of goods sold $35 5000
and the business expenses. etc, $4,000,
the statutory gross income is SIS, 1000
and the net income is $4,000. In this
case, If the taxpayer was married and
living with his wife, he would be re-
ouired to file a return, although his net
income is only $4,000. The return must
show the gross sales. purchases and
cost of goods sold To reflect income
correctly, inventories are necessary at
the beginning and end Of each taxable
year.
A lawyer, doctor, architect, author,
clergyman or other professional man
must include in gross income all fees,
salaries and compensation for profess
sional services.
The revenue act provides that certain
items shall be excluded from gross in
come and shall not be subject to the
income tax. Among such items are pro-
ceeds from life insurance policies, gifts,
requests and devises, interest from mu-
nicipal bonds ETC., damages recovered
from personal injuries or sickness,
World War compensation payments,
pensions for the services Of the bene-
ficiary or another, interest or dividends
Of not over $500 from a building and
loan association, and rental value of a
gospel minister's dwelling. Other items
to be excluded from gross income are
alimony. notary fees, city jury fees, sal
airy credited to an employe but not
actually or constructively received by
him or an insurance policy covering the
death Of business partner. :.

COUNTY COURT BILL
APPROVED BY BAR
Arlington Association O. KS
Proposed Statute After
Changing Its Text.
BY JOHN t. LIPsCoMB.


CLARENDON. Va, February U.s.
Proposed creation of a new court for
Arlington County yesterday was ap-
proved by the Bar Association in special
meeting here, but not, however, until
the bill, now before the Virginia Legis-
lature, had been attacked by its origi-
nal construction and several suggested
amendments agreed on.
Opponents of the bill made two fIl-
tile attempts to keep the association
from taking action of any kind at this
time. A motion by Lawrence Douglas
to table consideration of the measure
failed as did motion of Bryant Cor
don to postpone consideration until
today to give the members an opportu-
nifty carefully to study its provisions.
Delegate Hugh Reid. father of the
bill, was roundly scored by Douglas for
not taking the Bar Association into his
confidence during it's drafting or at least
before its presentation. It was charged
that Reid delayed presentation of the
bill until the last minute SO that the
people would not have an opportunity to
learn anything about it.
The people are not only entitled to
know all about matter of so much
Importance, but they should be allowed
to express their APPROVAL or disapproval
before legislative action is requested"
Douglas declared.
Douglas also made an attempt to have
the bill include a provision that it be
referred to the people for ratification
before 1t becomes effective. This, too.
failed
Several members declared they knew
nothing of the bill until informed by an
article in The Star of its Introduction
IN the House by Delegate Reid.

AT GREAT FALLS
Citizens Representatives
Confer With Maryland and
Virginia Senators.
BY WILLIAM J. wHEATLEY.

Displaying united front in favor of
prompt provision for bridge across the
Potomac River at Great Falls, repre-
sentatives of the Montgomery County
Civic Federation and of the interfedera-
ton conference, the latter composed of
representatives of the civic bodies of the
metropolitan districts of Maryland and
Virginia adjacent to the Capital City,
appeared before the Senators of the two
States yesterday.
The conference was participated in by
Senators Glass and Swanson of Virginia
and Senators Tydings and Goldsborough
OF Maryland and special committee of
the Montgomery citizens body. 1t was
held in the Serate District of Columbia
committee room at the Capitol
o. M. Kile, chairman of the Mont
gomery federation's special committee
on the bridge provision, said that it de-
veloped at the conference that the
amendment OF Senator Glass, providing
for the construction of free bridge
would receive the Endorsement of the
District committee and would pass the
Senate. The bill, as it passed the House,
carries an amendment prohibiting the
construction of toll bridge there, al
though Congress has chartered a COM
pany to carry out such project. Mr..
Kile said that Senator Glass informed
the committee that he anticipated a
favorable report on his bridge amend
ment to the Cramton park extension
bill and that it had been favorably re-
ceived by those members of the Upper
House with whom he had discussed it.
He said that the other three Senators
confirmed this view.
Walter B. Armstrong, who is mem
Der of the Montgomery federation's spe-
cial committee, also told of the stand
of the Interfederation Conference on
the matter, pointing out that the Dis
trict of Columbia Federation and the
Arlington County Federation were
E. Brooke Lee, Speaker of the Mary
land House of Delegates, told the Sem
ators the progress that is being made
in conferences with Representative
Cramton in adjusting the questions OF
title, financing and administration as
involved in the proposed cooperation
between the Maryland and Federal
Governments in carrying out the park
development projects.
It was indicated that the citizens
group would give every aid possible in
bringing about the construction of a
bridge and that they were unwilling to
wait until the land is acquired for the
memorial park in Potomac River. They
are Fundamentally for toll bridge, II
Congress can be prevailed upon to au-
thorize the appropriations now, so that
construction can begin. But if there is
not to be a publicly constructed bridge
then the citizens want the prohibition
against such a toll bridge as it is IN the
House bill removed.

ton is composed of o. M. Kile, chair
man: Walter B. Armstrong, Ward W.
