One of the most well-known pas
sages in the Bible explains this
thought perfectly:
"It is more blessed to give than
receive.'
Perhaps one of the most helpful and
interesting ways of giving is by fill
ing baskets with food, clothing, and
other gifts for poor and needy fami-
lies. In fact, I think that one of the
aims of the. "Taste and Basic" Club
this Christmas is to fix baskets such
as these.
However, there is another very i'm
portant gift which each member of
the Home Economics Club can and
should give. That is her help-her
share in the work at home.
Everyone knows that there is a US
ual Christmas rush, and that parents,
especially mothers are very busy dur
ing this time; but it is quite surpris-
ing what great helpers Home Eco
Monies girls can be-in preparing the
Christmas dinner, for example. Each
little task fulfilled by the girls is a
great help to Mother. Therefore, it
is the duty of each girl in the Taste
and Basic Club, especially, to cooper
ate and do her share of the work at
the Christmas season. All members
of this club have had sufficient exper-
fence.

TASTE AND BASTE CLUB


The regular meeting of the taste
and Basic Club" was held on Wednes-
day, December 8 with Freda Godfrey
presiding. After completion of the
business of the club the program was
turned over to the program chairman,
Elizabeth Dryden.
Florence Laws and Elizabeth Dry

officers and Miss Bennett outlined the
meeting of the Crisfield Club to the
girls. There the state initiation SER
vice for Home Economics Clubs was
used for the first time.
Due to the fact that our club is new
ly organized and all members are char

itiation this year. However, the girls
were pledged into the club by Miss
Bennett by having them repeat the
club creed and receive the symbolic
colors of the club to wear for two
weeks.
Christmas being so close at hand a
speech concerning the spirit of

Christmas. There being no further
business the meeting adjourned after
singing the club song and Christmas
carols.

THE SPIRIT OF CHRISTMAS
"Glory to God in the highest, and
on earth peace, good will toward
men,"
Everyone knows that at Christmas
time there are numerous evidences
of peace and good will. Ones person.
al enmity of classmates is forgotten,
as well as other dislikes. For while
even mischief is passed over. It is the
Christmas spirit and people allow it
to take possession of them for a few
days at Christmas time; but all too
soon it is forgotten and they go back
to their old habits and ways of think
ing.
However, this is not the proper spir-
it. One should feel happy and joy
full throughout the year as we'll as at
this glad season. If people were as
happy and good always as they are at
Christmas, it would. be much more
pleasant place in which to live.
However, as 1 have mentioned, one
is inclined to be especially gay at the
Christmas season. He cannot forget
the turkey dinner to be had on Christ
mas Day, or the trip to be taken dur
ing the holidays, or the beautiful pres
ents he will probably receive; but this
seems to be all he remembers. Per-
haps one of the most important
thoughts is forgotten-that he will
give presents as well as receive them. !

explorations conducted with his reserve
funds, the result may obtain; if the
explorations are relatively unsuccessful,
then the wasted assets cannot be re-
plenished at a cost equal to the cost of
old assets.
Furthermore, the United States has
a direct and vital interest in the discovery
have been encouraged and rewarded and
the continuity and stability of respon-
sible parties engaging in such businesses
has been encouraged. The appropriate
conservation of the wasting natural wealth
of any nation depends on this. For these
reasons and for others which will be
discussed, Congress in 1919, when the
Revenue Act of 1918 was enacted, pro-
vided that the deduction for depletion
of mines and oil wells could be based
upon value of discovered mines or oil
and gas we'll whenever that discovery
value was substantially in excess OF the
cost or capital investment.
AS in the case of all tax adjustments
founded on the necessity of human or
opinionated valuations, the administration
of the deductions for depletion soon de-
veloped inequities, inequalities between
taxpayers and much confusion of appli-
cation and delays of litigation.
To effect simplicity of administration,
equality of application and to achieve
with close approximation the same rev.
enue results to the Government, the right
to measure depletion by discovery value
was in the case of oil and gas wells,
superseded in the 1926 Act (starting
January /, 1920 by rights to measure
depletion deduction by a percentage Of
income.
Under the present law, the deter
mination of the depletion allowance for
each property is based upon percentage
depletion, depletion on March 1, 1888,
value, or depletion of cost, whichever is
highest. From these rules 1t is clear
lthat in the cases of oil and gas wells
the percentage allowances apply only in
cases where the capitalized costs are
relatively low, and for the most part
on properties where discoveries of new
mineral values have been made
In all cases since 1882 where there
is an allowance of depletion based up
allowed or allowable serves to reduce
tion is computed. If the property is
the sale is measured by a cost reduced
by the depletion previously allowed, in
GLIDING since 1892 all allowances meas
ured by a percentage of income. Thus
double deduction of capital investment
on the sale or other disposal of the pro
perty is avoided.
When one considers these rules the
conclusion becomes evident that no
estimates, having any warranty Of ac-
curacy, can be made of the amount by

Royalty Owners Must Know
About Depletion Allowance

When politics are involved, the great
est number is the most powerful factor,
in this day and age, and the oil industry
is thus greatly handicapped in the pre-
sent controversy over depletion allow
ances. 1t is important that we should
swell the number by having every royalty
owner familiar with the subject and pre-
pared to present sound arguments to con-
gressmen, not only from Montana but
from other states, to prevent congress
from depriving the oil industry of the
right to depletion deduction in calcu-
lating income taxes. No bill has been in
troduced in congress, but it doubtless will
be introduced. 1t is a serious matter
for small operators.
Possibly congress will determine that
percentage depletion is not a loop hole"
suggested by the president in his mes
sage to congress, for it is a fact that the
deductions from gross income allowed for
percentage depletion is a legal right
specifically granted by congress and con-
sequently cannot be classed as one involv-
ing an evasion of the spirit or the letter
of the law, as was charged by the secre-
tary of the treasury
The percentage depletion allowance and
its predecessor, the discovery depletion al
lowance, have been part OF the Internal
Revenue Statutes for almost 20 years.
There is little practical difference between
percentage depletion and discovery de-
pletion. Congress and the experts whom
it employed have long considered and de-
liberated the question. The sections of
the laws granting these rights have met
the test of congressional investigations
on numerous occasions and on each oc-
casing they have received the stamp of
approval. In 1888 the present Secretary
of the Treasury recommended to Congress
that percentage depletion be eliminated;
but after proper hearings the proposal
was not incorporated in the House Bill
which emerged as the Revenue Act of
1884.
Charges against income for depletion
of any wasting asset are permissible in
order to provide the operator with re-
serve of funds with which the assets
can be repleniShed. This is absolutely
essential to assure continuance as a going
concern in the case of all business based
on exploiting and converting natural re-
sources. Otherwise, such a business Is
single transitory venture which is con-
cluded when the basic deposit is ex-
hausted.
AS the basic deposit is exhausted the
oil and gas contained therein are gone
forever so far as human needs are con-
ceived. Unlike machine or building,
there is no certainty that an operator
can replace an oil and gas well at the
same cost as the one being exploited.
The matter is one of conjecture. If the
operator is relatively successful in the
