Merchants Can Deduct Sales
Lew From The Income Tax

Raleigh-North Carolina mer-
chants will be permitted to deduct
the amount they pay during the
calendar year in general sales tax to
the state from both their federal
and their state income taxes, Will
ard L. Dowell, secretary of the N.
C. Merchants association, has been
advised by U. S. Commissioner
of Revenue delivering and State
Commissioner of Revenue A. J.
Maxwell.
The federal ruling permitting de-
duction from the federal income
tax returns is a reversal from a pre-
vious ruling, MI. Dowell said, as
Commissioner Helverind held at
first that since there is a provision
in the North Carolina sales tax law
that the tax must be passed on to
the purchasers, then it should not
be deducted from the income.
However, on the ground that the
merchant is only a collecting agency
and must include in his gross in
come Tax report the amount COL
lected in sales tax, even though it.

PATTERSON ITEMS

Our community was shocked and
saddened to hear of the death of
Jul friend and neighbor, Mr.. John
A. Ketchie. His death was caused
by hurts he received in an automo-
bile wreck, when he lost control of
his car Saturday afternoon, Janu-
airy the 10th, his wife was badly
cut and bruised. They were rush
ed to the Lowery hospital, where
Mr.. Ketchie died soon after. Mrs.
Ketchie is still at the hospital, and
is improving.
DR.. Z. M. Summerell of Mill
Bridge, who has been the physician
of this community died at Longs
hospital, Statesville Sunday morn
ing. Burial services were held at
Thyatira church Monday at 2 p.
M, and the body was carried to
Christ church, Cleveland for burial.

merely passes through his hands IN
to the state treasury, the new ral-
ing was issued, permitting it to be
deducted from the income.
Assuming that $4,000 0o of
the 100000 or 900, 900
collected by the state in sales tax
is paid by merchants who would
pay income tax anyway, these
merchants will save probably $780,
900 a year, and, by the same CAL
culation, the state will lose $780,
900, also assuming hat the bulk of
it is in the first class, taxable at
three per cent, and the federal gov
eminent will lose about 100000,
also assuming that the bulk of it
will be in the first class, taxable at
four per cent. 1t might be that
sufficient of them fall in the higher
brackets of five or six per cent to
bring the total saved to the merch-
ants to half a million dollars, in
case the state would lose
100000 and the federal
government about 100000.

Gas Warfare
Is Pooh-Pooed

London-If enemy planes fly
overhead and drop deadly chlor-
inc gases over your head in the
next war, simply go home, get into
the bathtub, draw yourself a nice
hot, steaming bath, light your pipe
and laugh it off.
And you'll live to do this as
many times as you want to, Dr..
Francis A. Freeth, chief research
chemist of the Imperial Chemistres,
Ltd, told a surprised audience re-
Gently.
The scientist said there was more
nonsense talked about chemical
warfare than any other subject in
the world. He pooh-pohoed the
death-dealing attributes of chlorine
gas, blaming the exaggeration of its
effects upon. the fact it was simply
the first gas used in the war.
DR.. Freeth declared mustard gas
was the only really useful gas for
warfare, but pointed out that only
4 per cent of it's casualties in the
World War were fatal. He de-
clared there were only about two
days a month when atmospheric
were appropriate for a
gas attack, and added that adequate
defense for any gas could easily be
devised.

The Indiana Catholic High School
Athletic Associations annual state
basketball tournament will not be
held this year, Brother William,
C. S. c., principal of Cathedral high
school, announced last night.
That indianapolis would rot again
enter the championship play
has been known for some time, and
when Fl. Wayne and other cities
failed to rally enough funds TO hold
the event, it was definitely decided
to call off the meet this year.
To hold the state tournament here
annually requires local supporters
of Cathedral high school athletics
to contribute cash, time and physl-
cal efforts. Most of the teams that
compete come from such distant
points that few followers are able
to accompany them and practically
all the support of the event comes
from local patronage.
This means money is used to pro-
mote the tournament which can be
used to better advantage elsewhere
about the local high school, which
is supported solely by the Catholics
of indianapolis.
Brother william expressed doubt
if the state tourney ever would be
held again. He said Cathedral
would go to Chicago in March to
defend it's title of national cham
pions at the tournament annually

CINCINNATI, o., Feb. 8.-Freddie
Miller, National Boxing Association
featherweight champion, has fixed
his ambitions on holding two titles
simultaneously, and today was seek

hoping to follow it with a bout
against Barney Ross.
Miller, who last night decisively
defeated Petey Sarron. Birmingham,
Ala, in a tenround fight here, feels
he has eliminated all contenderS of
consequence in the featherweight
division
Miller was credited with six
rounds and four were even, in last
nights bout. Sarron made his best
showing in the last two rounds,
staggering the champion with stiff
rights to the head. Miller almost
dropped Sarron in the sixth with a
right to the chin.
Miller weighed 1874, Sarron 100.
