Your
 |IncOnle |Tax
De- du ctions for Deprecia- tion Are Taken Into
 Annual Statement

The revenue act provides for "a reasonable allowance for the ex- Ihaustion, wear and tear of prop lerty used in the trade or business including a reasonable allowance flor obsolescence.' For convenience |such allowance usually is referred to as: depreciation.
 In claiming a deduction for de- preciation several fundamental principles must be observed. The deduction must be confined to prop erty actually used in trade, busi- ness, profession, and to improve
 ments on real property, other than property used by the taxpayer as
 his personal residence. In general lit applies to the taxpayers capital assets-buildings, machinery, etc. the cost of which cannot be deduct ed as business expense.
 A lawyer, doctor, or other profess isional man may not charge off as la current expense the cost of li-
 brary used wholly in his profess
 sion, this being a capital expendi-
 ture and the library capital as-
 set, but he may deduct an allow
 ance for depreciation based upon
 the useful life of the library. If part of professional mans resi- Idence is used by him for offic e
 purposes. a proportionate amount Of the depreciation sustained may
 be deducted, based generally on the ratio of the number of rooms used for such purposes to the total num-
 Der of rooms in the building. The same principle applies if a taxpayer
 rents to others a portion of his

The Garner Bedtime
-------
Cincinnati Enquirer)


 Saddenng, to many of us, is the news that Vice President Garner stayed up past o'clock when he attended the dinner in honor of James A. Farley It was, of course, tribute to man who has shown that he can make, optimism and prophecy coincide even in politics. and the unusualness of the tribute not unnotced by Washington press correspondents.
 For, to Vice President Garner, o'clock and bedtime also coincide invarably-almost There have been exceptions on certain state occasions where the attendance of the Vice President virtually compulsory. But more than 360 days out of every year, the rule holds good. It was MT. Gar ners suggestion that he and the President decided to forego the customary exchange of dinners be- tween the President and Vice President. Thus was preserved the sanctity of the bedtime hour in the Garner household two nights in the year
 Except as symbol, the Garner bedtime hour hardly possesses national significance But in that vein, it represents rugged od-fashonedness which all the wes of Washington and the strange machina- tions of the New Deal seemed unable to alter. In measure the public felt that it had to feel safe long Vice President Garner maintained the involahility of his bedtime hour If the dinner the other night has upset the schedule Postmaster General Farley may be charged with the destruction of the ast remnant of old fashioned Aericanisra in WaShingtOn <s@ss et r-sf

COLDSBOROUCH MEASURE VERY
 REVOLUTIONARY
Ma aryl and Representative Has Idea for Invert-
 ed Sales Tax

WASHINGTON, Mar. 2.-If the President is searc5jag -or revolu- tionary legislation to press through Congress he is overlooking a good bet in the GoldsbU ough bill.
 Representative Thcm Alan Colds borough of Maryland, a large, blond baldish person, arose during one of those lulls in the House when lengthy speeches are allowed He had things on his mind. He pro- posed an inverted sales tax.
 Unaccustomed as the House was to such public speaking. it sat bolt upright At the mere mention ot sales tax the House hecklers rise Those are fighting words. But this was an inverted sales tax.
 Like the street reodler who first lures customers to h's stand by operating a miniature clothes wrin- ger that prints dollac bills, Colds borough just mentioned inverted sales tax" and tiien went into his song and dance. He read extracts from authorities ancient and mod. ern to prove that what the coun. try needs most is more money con. ltrolled by it's people and .lesszby it's banks. The inverted sales tal was part of the way

Goldsporough explained, you don't pay a tax. you get one. He pro4 posed starting it at 25 per cent. For every dollar yon spend, you get a 25 percent rake-off. Actual ly it wouldn't work out exactly that way. The retailer instead would be required .c cut the price 25 per cent; the.l % to the bank with statement as to how much these cuts totaleG He would col lcct actual cash frora the bank and the banker could claim a cor responding amount from the United State Treasury. Ut would get back to the Treasury, of course.)
 The Treasury wouldn't issue him cash, just certificates he could ex- change with other banks in set tling inter-bank indebtedness.

Last Lap OF
Ideal Weather Brings
Out Great Numbers
of Christmas Gift
Purchasers

Christmas shoppers here and else
where started today on the last lap of
their Christmas buying orgy, and wera
favored by the Weather Man with alb
solutely ideal weather
A bright sun shined all day and the
temperature was mild with lust
enough chill in the air to make it
bracing and comfortable. It was lust
cold enough to justify top coats.
The crowds came to town today, and
nearly all establishments shared in
their buying. They were making hay
while the sun shined," and getting as
much of that Christmas shopping be-
hind them as possible. They were
taking no chances on had weather for
the rest of the week.
After today only four shopping days
were left, as Christmas comes on next
Saturday.
Many merchants had extra help to
accommodate the crowds and even
then found their stores jammed in
some instances.
At the post office the Christmas
rush of mailing was on. Extra help
was necessary there to accommodate
the crowds buying stamps, weighing
packages and dropping in greeting
cards, to say nothing of the usual run
of business mail. Postmaster j. r.
league said everything possible would
be done to expedite mails and to &C
commodate patrons of the office.
