WORLD CONFLICT

u. S. Navy Command Tells
Congress Of Defense
Requirements

WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-CR-
The Navy high command believes
that the possibility of a genera
European war and uncertain conol-
tions in the Far East threaten tc
produce a world conflagration.
Admiral Harold r. Stark, HE
of naval operations, told a mouse
appropriations subcommittee II
testimony made public today that
the international situation is
"fraught with more poss bilities'
affecting the United States thar
in 1914 and 1915.
1.-THE ultimate aims and ambitions
of Germany, Russia and Italy car

can the public utterances of their
governments be accepted at a C

such conditions render likely the
possibility of a general European
war, in Will
ern conditions, they threaten a
world conflagration."
Rep. Otter (R-Pa. asked wheth-
er the Nays preparedness Is
greater than in 1914-16.
II think it is far better" Stark
said, "but I believe the information

possibilities against us than was
the case in the early stages of the

NLRB BOARD
MAY Be FORMED
Smith Committee Likely To
Urge Naming OF Five
New Members
By w. B. RAGSDALE

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1S.-tRG
The betting odds IRE better than
ever that congress will wipe out
the present National Labor board
and establish a new one with five
members.
other minor changes may be
made, but most of those who have
been clamoring about the boards
operations are becoming convinced
hal their chief complaint is against
the way the agency has enforced
the Wagner act instead of against
the law itself.
With that in mild, influential
members of congress r trying to
figure out a way to pluck the pre-
sent agency out of the governmental
set-up and create a new n to make
a fresh start on the problem. Even
some ultra.new dealer have ex
pressed such a view.
Such a recommendation is what
many members expect from the
| Smith investigating committee. Tha'
is the extent Of the committees
powers, however-to recommend
legislation.

F. r. And Farley Are Believed
In Accord On 1910 Campaign

The convention adopted a slogan
of Officially endorsed Roosevelt
Farley delegates" for its slate in
the April 2 primary. National Com
mitteeman Charles E. Broughton
said, however, that the mention OF
Farley did not mean he was en-
dorsed as an alternate presidential
choice or as a vice presidential can
didate.
Farley has given his consent to
entering a delegate slate pledged to
him in the Massachusetts, presiden'
tial primary, but has made no other
direct indication that he is a can
didate for office.
Close friends of Vice President Gar
ner, himself a presidential candidate,
expressed the belief that Farley was
ready to turn over any delegates
he might win to Mr.. Roosevelt if
the latter decides to run.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10. Up
Formation of a Roosevelt-Farley
delegate slate in Wisconsin strength
ened the belief of many politicians
today that the chief executive and
the postmaster general are in ac-
cord on the democratic presidential
campaign.
One senator in close touch with
Farley told reporters that the cabi-
net member and national democratic
chairman was resolved to do one
of two things-nominate himself or
MI. Roosevelt"
The Wisconsin democratic state
convention, meeting last night at
Wisconsin Rapids, declared that the
President should be drafted for a
third term. Another resolution ex-
pressed the hope that Farley may
continue in public life in the inter
est of the people of the nation"

Income Tax
Gross Income, Net Income, And
Surtax Income

Gross Income, Net Income, And
Surtax Income
Three of the terms used in tn.
lncome-tax law, namely, gross in
come, net income, and surtax ne
income, should be noted particular
ly, lnasmuch as they are vitality i'm
portant to the whole subject of tn.
income tax.
Gross income includes in genera
all income from any source what
ever, unless specifically exemp
from tax by law. The gross income
OF a person engaged in a usual bust
ness consists of the gross profits OF
sales, plus any income from invest
ments and incidental or outside Cd
%erations or sources. With respect t.
the usual business in which pur
chases and sales of merchandise
are involved, the return must show
the gross sales, purchases, and the
cost of goods sold. Inventories a
the beginning and end Of each tax
able year are also necessary to cor
rectly reflect the income.
Amounts received as loans from
the Commodity Credit Corporation
shall, at the election of the taxpay
er, be considered as income an6
shall be included in gross income
for taxable year in which received
If the election is exercised from the
calendar year 1889, it shall be ad
hered to with respect to all subse
quent taxable years unless the
Commissioner approves a change te
a different method. (See sec. 223
Revenue Act Of 1887.
A lawyer, doctor, architect. physi
clan, dentist, clergyman, author, OIL
other professional man must include
in gross income all fees, salaries
and compensation Of any kind fol-
professional services.
Net income upon which the tax
is assessed is gross income less the
deductions allowed by law. Sucf
deductions include business and pro
fessional expenses, such as salaries
pensions, and bonuses to employees
taxes, losses, interest, bad debts, de
probation, depletion, contributions
etc. Failure to fully understand de
d~uctions from gross income anc
credits against net income has re
suited in numerous errors on the
part of taxpayers.
An earned-income credit is pro
vided in addition to the personal ex
emption and credit for dependents
etc., for the purpose Of computing
the normal tax. Having arrived al
the net income, the next step Is Il
deduct the personal exemption ant
credit for dependents. The balance
represents the surtax net income
The next step Is to deduct from
such balance the earned-income
credit and other credits to which
the taxpayer is entitled. The re
mainder represents the amount o.
net income subject to the norma,
tax Of 4 percent. Any amount o.
surtax net income which is in ex
cess of $4,000 is subject to the sur
tax. The surtax is to be computed
in accordance with the rates provid
ed for in the various so-called sur
tax brackets.
