 Here are other deductions that both Individuals and corporations may claim to reduce taxable in- come:
 BAD DEBTS-Debts than can definitely be shown as worthless in tho year for which the return Is made can be deducted from gross income.

 DEPRECIATION This. deduc- ton must be confined to property actually used in trade, business or profession - plus machinery, etc.-and does not apply to homes. In general. 1t applies to capital assets the cost of which cannot be deducted as q business expense.

 TAxES-Taxes paid on real es- tate and personal property In 1892 are deductible, except spe- cial taxes (for street paving, etc.) that enhance the value of the tax payers property. The federal in- come tax cannot be deducted, but deduction may be made for in- come taxes paid to states.
 INTEREST - As interest re- ceived is taxable, interest paid is deductible. This applies general ly to interest paid on debts, real estate mortgages, and tho like. h. terest paid on behalf of friend

 Salary Saving
 Hartford, Conn.,, Feb. 9-(UP)- The legislature judiciary committee has struck its first snag in consid- eration of Q blanket bill, calling for reduction of salaries of all state employees, at an estimated saving of $1,000,000 a year.
 A proposal to discontinue the salary of $2,500 O year paid each member of the state tuberculosis commission, was vigorously op- posed at a hearing late yesterday. This was the only item in the bill to meet objection and the sugs gestion was termed Ian Insult to members of the commission and Ian outrage against the state."
 Tn the meantime Deputy Con- troller Robert J. Smith, was pre- pared to submit to the committee an analysis of the state payroll.
 His survey showed 7,313 per- sons employed by the state of which number 6,9s0 received an average weekly wage of $24.67. Only 113 persons received more than $5,000 Q year, he said.
 The analysis is to be used to guide the committee in it's con. sideration of reconsideration of state salaries.
 The States Budget
 Hartford, Conn.,, Feb. 9-(UP)- The state board of finance and con. trol was in executive session to- day to take final action on the states budget for the next bien- nium.
 The budget, in balanced form and providing for no additional taxation, provides for expenditures of approximately $36,50o.0o0 for the two years, having been reduced nearly $7,000,000 by the budget committee of the board during the past three months.
 The proposed savings were ef- fected through salary cuts, approx mating .$1,000,000 and general governmental economies, according to Lieut-Gov. Roy c. Wilcox. 6 member of the board.
 The revised figures are expected to be approved today and sent on to the general assembly for consid- eration probably tomorrow or next Tuesday.

Washington--If you lost money ! in tho depression year 1882 as the result of the stock market decline, bad debts, depreciation, fire, flood or even burglary. you can get some deduction for these in you'd in- come tax report March IS.
 But the law has not been llber- niixed in this respect--in the case of stock market losses 1t has even been tightened.
 An important 1898 change Is the new limitation placed on de- ductions for losses incurred In the sale or excnange of stocks and bonds that the taxpayer had held for less than two years, and which, therefore, are not classi- lied as capital assets"
 Briefly, this means:
 If, by the sale or exchange of such securities In 1892, you in- cured losses, you can deduct such losses from your taxable income only to the extent that you made taxable gains from similar sources In the same year. If the 1882 losses exceed the gains, the excess, in an amount not greater than the 1882 net income, may be carried forward and taken as a deduction against similar gains next year. 'n Must Bc Real Losses
 As to losses on securities held by the taxpayer for more than two years prior to the date of sale or exchange---and which are classi- fled as "capltal asscts"- there IS no change in the law. Such losses are stIil deductible, subject to the limitation that the tax may not be reduced by moro than 12 1-2 per cent of the loss sus- tained. na

YOU CAN DEDUCT
Only the Surtax Is Applied To U. s.
 Dividends

this tax-even though the con- sumer admittedly pays 1t. Nor can he deduct for federal excise taxes paid on jewelry, new auto- mobiles, tires, toilet preparations, etc., since the law levies these on the manufacturer.
 But an individual can deduct the eax he paid in 1882 on bank checks, on the rent of a safety de- posit vault, on his electric, light bill. club dues, telegrams, 'tele- phone conversations, etc., since the law levies these on him d. | rectly.
 Admission taxes to theaters. movies, ball games, etc., are de- ductible, but the taxpayer must be able to show that he has kept an account of the amount paid. Auto Taxes Cut State automobile licenses are taxes and therefore deductible, as are license fees exacted by state or city upon certain busi- nesses.
 Interest derived from federal, state, county and municipal bonds is exempt from taxation, as is tn- terest on securities issued under the Federal Farm Loan Act. How ever, the interest on and 1-4 per cent Liberty Bonds and Treasury Bonds, if owned in ex- cess of $5000, is subject to sur- tax if the net income Is over $6000.
 AS corporations are not subject to gurtax, the interest on Liberty 4 and 4A per cent bonds and Treasury Bonds is exempt from federal income tax if these obli- gations are held by a corporation.
 Dividends paid by domestic cpr- porations to individuals are not subject to the normal tax but are subject to the surtax if the net income of the taxpayer exceeds $6,000.

 His Advisors Busy.
 Washington. Feb 9- (UP) - President-elect Roosevelt's advisors are drafting detailed program of governmental reorganization de- signed to east the drain on tax payers by,' perhaps, $200,000.000.
 The program is expected to be the basis of a reorganization plan which MT Roosevelt would submit to the new congress at the opening of it's special spring session and which he could put into effect at least partly under the grant of authority just approved by the senate.
 The preliminary plan Is being worked out by Swager Shirley, former chairman of the house appropriations who has gone over federal fiscal problems in sev- eral conferences with MT Roose- welt; senator James r. Brynes, dem., s. C.; and Rep. Lewis Doug- les, members of the house economy committee last Session.
 The three are studying the entire federal structure, charting dupli- eating bureaus. for. consolidation and preparing to recommend aboli- ton of others which they consider useless and extraYagant.
 In addition the economies achiev- ed through reorganization, Mfr Roosevelt in letters to democratic leaders is reported to have ex- pressed determination to reduce expenditures for veterans. Con- gross thus far has refused to cur tall veterans funds, which total nearly $1.000.000.000 a year.

 As for the new taxes enacted by Congress last summer in it's sweeping effort to balance the federal budget, the law varies. Those that are levied on the man. ufacturer are not deductible; those that are levied on the pub- lie directly are deductible.
 For example, an individual can- not deduct for the new 1-cent-a gallon federal gasoline tax be cause the law looks to the man. ufacturer for the collection of

Court Budget
 for Waterbury
(Continued from Page 1.)

(COnttnued rom rage l.J
 The appropriation for the last two years, 193l-32 was $69,990. The decrease of over s1S,o0o is explained by the fact that the en- tire state budget calls for reduction of salaries of all state employees other employees of the courts are the decreased appropriation repre- senting the difference in salaries.
 The budget calls for an appro- priation of $5,640 for the office of the states attorney in Waterbury for the period 1933-34 and also for the period i934-35. During the past four years the appropriation has been $5,640 due to the addition of an assistant states attorney to the local office. The new budget does not eliminate this office though slashing the appropriation s1,000.
 Waterbury's superior court for the last two years showed a. de- felt of $23,000.
 On February 23 there will be a hearing before the judiciary com mittee on the bill introduced by Rep. John D. Thoms of Waterbury seeking absolute repeal of the state enforcement act. It is expected that the committee room will be taxed to capacity as dry organiza- tions in the state, headed by the Rev Fletcher D. Parker have signi- fled their intention of being present and opposing the measure. Other bills dealing with the wet and dry issue will also be heard at the same time. Lucius F. Robinson, Jr., of Hartford, head of the Cru saders of that city is enlisting wet support for the hearing. Two years ago the prohibition bill hearings were the most exciting of the ses- sion. This years may even sur pass them.
