Your Income Tax
No. 38-Goins and Losses

On property classified as "other
than capital assets the full amount
of the gain Tor loss) from sale or
exchange is taken into the income
account in item OBJ of the return
Form 1040. and an explanation of
the transaction is shown in Sched-
ule G.
In transactions in capital assets,
such as non-depreciable property,
and securities, the amount of gain
or loss taken into the income &C
count, in item Ia, is subject to
certain limitations. For such prop
erty held for not more than six
months, the entire amount of the
net gain or loss is considered in ar
irving at the net amount to be
shown, while for property held more
than six months, one-half of the
net gain or loss is entered In item
8 Ca Of the return. If, however,
the result is net loss, then the
amount which may be entered is
limited to 81 600 or to the amount of
the taxpayers net income from
other sources, whichever is the
smaller. In arriving at the net fig
ure, also. losses of this character for
a preceding year may be used as
an Offset, within certain limita-
tons, and the net results of such
transactions on partnership or COM
mon trust fund account must be in
Guided.
1t should be noted that in the
case of sale or exchange of prop
erty, such as the taxpayers resi-
dence, automobile, house furnish
ings, or jewelry, gains must be taken
into income but losses are not al
lowed to be SO taken. Such prop
erty, not being depreciable, would
classify as capital assets, and the
! treatment of gains would be gov
erned as stated above.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1943-02-10

Income Is frequently affected by
transactions in property held for
profit or investment, or used in the
taxpayers business, but not a part
Of the stock in trade. Such trans
actions may occur in real estate, or
other tangible property. such as
store fixtures or plant machinery
and equipment, or such personal
possessions as car or household
goods. Such transactions are re-
portable either in Schedule F or
Schedule G of the return Form
l040, and, depending upon the
character, are taken partly or
wholly into the income account on
the face of the return dtem 81.
The law requires gains or losses
to be reported according to the
nature Of the transaction, and two
separate entries are provided in
item 8 for this purpose: Ca net
gain Cor loss) from sale or ex-
change of capital assets, Ob) net
gain COR loss) from sale or exchange
Of property other than capital
assets
A distinction is made between
capital assets and other than cap
ttal assets" The latter includes
primarily property subject to the al
lowance for depreciation and land
used In the trade or business and
held for more than six months
where losses from sale or involun-
tary conversion of such property ex-
ceeds the gain. If gains from the
sale or involuntary conversion of
property subject to the allowance
for depreciation and land used in
the trade or business, and held for
more than six months, exceed the
losses, the transactions are treated
In the same manner as a sale of
capital assets.

J. Pierpont Morgan, 1.-THE Younger

In the death of John Pierpont Nor
gan, Jr., a member OF famous financial
dynasty passes. So often during the last
quarter of a century Mr.. Morgan was
referred to as young" Mr.. Morgan that
one actually lost sight of the fact that he
entered his seventies some years ago and
at his death Saturday at Boca Grande,
Florida, at seventy-five years of age, was
one Of the worlds wealthiest men, also
one OF its most conservative.
Vast wealth such as was Mr.. Morgan'S
Is q grave responsibility, and no matter
how handled or disposed Of, does not ever
have general approval In the possessing
or handling. It Is a price the very wealthy
pay as hardly commensurate with what
the very poor lack. The head OF the House
OF Morgan, John Pierpont Morgan, who
died In 1918, was born close by, In Hart
ford. He became head of the many bank
businesses that were TO become the
responsibility Of his son. Both father
and son were OF equal stature as TO
financial acumen.
The dynasty now passes on TO the
'younger'S" sons, Junius and Henry
b. Morgan. The career OF J. P. Morgan, Jr,,
was enc Of financial success following In
the same pattern as that OF his father.
Both gave generously to charity and to
institutions. Both were keen yachts
men, and both were patrons Of art. Like
his father he owned many homes. In
the disposal Of the books and art objects
Of the senior Morgan his son was to
handle them to the advantage Of the
American public, for their enjoyment as
museum pieces which was, to certain
extent, done.
The vast holdings and wealth OF the
House Of Morgan cannot be estimated IN
round figures. With the passing OF the
so-called younger" Mr., Morgan great
figure has departed from the world OF
things material. His responsibilities and
trusts which he carried on faithfully dur
ing his life pass on to his sons who now
assume the carrying on OF a famous
dynasty. II Is safe TO assume that II Mr..
Morgan had his choice he would have
lived the quiet life Of country gentle
man, so great was his diStaste for pub
licity. Not so long ago he stated In one
Of his few gratuitous public statements
his formula for success which was: do
your work; be honest; keep your word;
help when you can; be fair"
The Waterbury Democrat., 1943-03-15

As one high congressman remarked,
the relations between the United States
and Russia are q "tickllsh subject" on
which "spouting off" Unexpectedly is out
Of order.
In the words Of Vice. President Wallace,
It is highly desirable that these two great
anti-Hltler nations shall "come to a salts
factory understanding before the war
ends" No loyal American, no sincere we'll
wisher for democracy, would crafty his
desire for theological self-expression by
saying or doing anything that might
prevent or delay such an understanding.
However, any international understand
ing needs TO be bipartisan. 1t is not
enough for one nation to act In complete
good faith. Both must do so. Mr.. Wal
lace was either ingenious or super-diplo-
matte when he warned against the United
States "double-croSslng Russia" That
we have not done and shall not do.
The statement of our ambassador TO
Russia, simultaneous with the vice.
presidents talk, puts the shoe on the other
foot Admiral Standby said that Mos
COW is carefully hiding from the Russian
public the extent Of American assistance.
Lend-Lease Administrator Stettinius
announced officially that already we have
sent $780, 100000 - billion and
quarter dollars worth Of supplies to
Russia, and are stepping up the pace. We
have done that against the enormous
handicap Of shipping shortage, at ter
rible cost in lives and, more important
globally, or cargo craft.
Russian generals were said TO have
been telling war correspondents that
the only American materials at the front
have been trucks, though the ambassador
says planes by the thousands have
arrived, and we know that tanks by at least
the hundreds have seen action,
Why should Premier Stain try TO make
his people believe that they are fighting
alone against the axis, unhelped In any
way by their Anglo-American allies? Why
should he be so completely reticent,
from us who are doing everything In our
growing power to help, about exchanging
information on the military phases OF
the war? We, the British and Americans,
have shown our good faith. There can
not be the complete understanding OF
which Mr.. Wallace talks unless Stain
matches our confidence with his.

ty seconds from now. There Is
not q situation In the world so OBJ
vious that all its implications are
apparent even 10 the most discern.
ing. We often talk about history
as II 1t were a scroll containing all
the events OF the past. which We can
unroll and read at will and then
with confidence arrive at certain
conclusions. But even yesterday
left O record Of only a few Of its
major events. Millions Of import
ant actions are never recorded.
Sometimes historical factors OF the
most influential variety lie hidden
for q thousand years before men
appreciate their significance, The
greatest things that have happened
In history, such as the disclosure
OF moral law TO Moses, the birth
Of Christ. His death and yesuTTec-
ton - these things happened IN Q
little corner Of the world and scarce
ly anyone knew anything about
them.
Avoid prophecy. We are all utter
~ ignorant Of most OF the factors
which at this moment are making

Shoe repair shops are rushed with work
these days, so we read, The causes are
two fold. First off much more walking Is
being done. A more active life Is being led
and pounding the pavements Is a neces-
sity. Many, too, are walking to business,
which Is good for the individual but hard
on the shoes. Secondly, those who have
a supply Of shoes Of long standing and
realize their stock cannot be readily aug
mented are having those on hand re-
paired. Changing styles In shoes for woi11-
en- have resulted In the buying OF many
pairs during the year; shoes for this &C.
casion and that; shoes for this costume
and that Naturally all these little num-
bers do not wear out so most people who
follow the fashion trends have good
supply Of shoes. Now that they are doing
more walking the shoes are showing the
wear and tear. Hence, the tapping process
Is becoming popular and the repair men
are pretty busy.

AT Long Last

The announcement last week that the
Crosby Argus, familiar 10 thousands OF
graduates OF the East Main Street insti-
tuition, had been designated the best paper
In Its grouping, senior schools with en-
roIlment Of 1901 to 1900, Is good news
indeed. Many OF us have watched the
Argus though our school activities were
long years gone by. II may have been
school pride or interest In the youthful
publishers, but at any rate we are more
than glad that 1t has finally achieved
goal for which 1t long has strived.
Accompanying honorS were also con.
ferred on The Sacred Heart Forum and
CroSby's French paper, La Page Ouverte'",
which should convince this city that It's
youthful students are very much on the
lob and In addition are receiving the best
In instruction and training. All these
honors were conferred at the annual con-
vention OF the scholastic newspapers and
magazines at Columbia University, New
York City. The competition Is always
Of the very best; that our local schools
came through with flying colorS Is some
thing to tell over the supper tables for
weeks to come.
Our heartiest congratulations to the
stats Of the three papers so richly re-
warded for efforts during the past year.
The same holds true, too, for their ad.
visors whose earnest and wise counsel
has aided In building up these school
papers to the point where they command
respect, admiration, and commentator
from men and women whose Job 1t Is to
distinguish the brilliant and the we'll
constructed from the commonplace and
ordinary In the newspaper publication
field.

The other day the Cincinnati Sym
phony Orchestra opened Its concert
with prayer as part OF that city's observ-
ancc OF a World Day of Prayer. This was
an appropriate gesture. Public prayer
such as this Is quite In keeping and
should take place and have equality with
the singing or playing OF the national
anthem. Outward and public show OF
patriotism Is always commended; public
recital OF prayer before events OF note
should also have place In programs OF
one sort or another. Prayer, q universal
practice, should accompany events that
are not OF q strictly religious nature. A
prayer as first thought Is to be COM
mended before any public or private
event.
