 Three of the terms used in the in- come.tax law, namely. gross income. net income, and surtax net income, should be noted particularly, inas- much as they are vitally important to the whole subject of the Income tax. l,....
 Gross income includes in general all income from any source what ever, unless exempt from tax by law. The gross income of the usual busi- ness consists of the gross profits of, sales, plus any income from invest Inents and incidental Of outside op. erations or sources. The return must show the gross sales, purchases. and cost Of apods sold. To reflect income correctly inventories are necessary at the beginning and end of each taxable year.
 A lawyer. doctor, architect, physi. c..n, dentist, clergyman, author, or other professional man must include in gross income all fees, salaries, and compensation of any kind for professional services.
 Net income upon which the tax is assessed is gross income less the de- ductions allowed by law. Such do. ductlons include business and pro- fessional expenses. such as salaries, pensions. and bonuses to employees. taxes, losses, interest paid, bad debts, depreciation, depletion, contri- buttons against gross income and credits against net income has re- suited In numerous errors on the part of taxpayers.
 The revenue act Of 1884 provides for an earned income credit In addi- ton to the personal exemption and credit for dependents. etc.. for tho purpose Of computing the normal tax. Having arrived ct the net inc come, the next step Is to deduct the personal exemption and credit for (ienendents. The balance represents the ''surtax net income" The next step Is to deduct from such balance tho earned income credits and other credits Go which the taxpayer is e1a- titled. The remainder represents tho amount Of net income subject to tho normal tax of ( per cent. Any amount of surtax net income which Is In excess Of 9A000 is subject tc the s,irtax. The alirtax is to he col1l- puted In accordance with the rates provided for in the various so-called slirtax brackets. 5

INDIANS ASSURED
| LITTLE TEN TITLE
Sleepy Eye Definitely III
AS Champions; Cards
Finish Seventh

Although they have one game
remaining on their schedule the
Sleepy Eye Indians are safely in
as the 1856 basketball cham
pions of the Little Ten conferen-
ce. The annexation of the cage
crown gives Sleepy Eye its Sec
ond conference title Of the school
year, the Indians also having won
the football championship last
l. fall.
The remaining tilt will be play
ed Friday night with New Ulm on
the Indians floor and regardless
of its outcome Sleepy Eye is
firmly entrenched on top of its
nine league opponents. New Ulm
at present in second place, will be
striving to retain permanent pos
fsession of it's position next to the
leaders as a defeat would leave
the Germantown aggregation in
tie with Glencoe for the runner
up post.
All schools with the exception
of Sleepy Eye and New Ulm have
COiilplSICu tiLClI SOulCI SiASC oShCd
ules and have one or two n0n-con-
ference games left before enter
ing their respective district tour
naments.
A victory over New Ulm would
give Sleepy Eye an even dozen
triumphs and leave the Indians
with a spotless record to carry
with them into the district tour
ney, March 5, 6, and Z. New Ulm
may offer Sleepy Eye Stubborn re-
sistance as the former displayed
more power than it has shown all
year when the New Ulmites
tIounced Glencoe 81 to Fl last
Friday.
Redwood Falls, winning two
out of eight games, finished in
seventh place in the standings,
