Farmer Deductions
Wages, Seed, Repairs, Tools,
Fertilizers, Depreciation.

In general, farmer who operates
farm for profit is entitled to de-
duct from gross income as neces-
sary expenses all amounts actually
expended in carrying on the bust
ness of farming. The wages paid
for hired labor are deductible. The
value of products furnished by the
farm and used in the board of hired
labor is not deductible expense,
but food purchased and furnished to
hired hands is deductible.
Farmers may deduct the cost of
grain and hay, amounts paid for
grinding and processing feed,
amount paid for hire of machinery,
cost of farm supplies, gasoline for
farming, repairs and upkeep of cars.
Amounts expended for repairs and
maintenance of farm buildings, lex
cept the dwelling), fences, drains
and other farm improvements, and
for repairs and maintenance of farm
machinery and equipment are de-
ductible. Amounts expended for re-
placement of, or additions to, farm
machinery, farm buildings, or other
farm equipment of a permanent ma
ture are not deductible as such ex-
penditures are regarded as invest
ment of capital which is returned
to the owner through depreciation
allowances during the useful life of
the property.
The cost of small tools of short life
may be deducted. The cost of COM
mercial fertilizers and lime, the
benefit of which is of short dura-
ton, is deductible as an expense.
The amount expended in the resto-
ration of soil fertility preparatory to
actual production of crops and the
cost of lining soil to increase pro-
ductiveness over a period of years
are capital expenditures, and thus
are not deductible
Fees paid for advertising farm
products; expenditures for stamps,
stationery, account books and other
use; expenditures for travel in con-
nection with the farm business and
other similar miscellaneous expendi-
lures are deductible.
An allowance for depreciation of
buildings, improvements, machin-
cry, or other farm equipment of a
permanent nature is deductible. The
amount claimed on account of de-
probation should not exceed the
original cost of the property.
Repairs on depreciation on the
dwelling occupied by the farmer or
on his personal or household equip
ment are not deductible. 1t is not
permissible to claim as a separate
item depreciation on livestock or any
other property included in the farm
er's inventory, as such depreciation
is taken care of in the reduced
amount of the inventory at the close
of the year. However, depreciation
may be claimed on livestock ac-
quired for work, breeding or dairy
purposes which are not included in
the inventory of livestock pur-
chased or raised for sale.

per cent. A so cent theater ticket,
which cost the customer SIS cents.
represents cent deduction.
Automobile owners are entitled to
deduct state and local license fees,
the federal use stamps (Which cost
$7.O9 in 1922, drivers license fee
and state gasoline tax. Automobile
owners may not deduct the federal
gasoline tax because it is consti-
tuted as tax on the manufacturer
and not on the consumer, even though
it was passed along to him.
1t is the general rule that the tax
payer gets credit only for those taxes
levied directly upon him. For that
reason state and federal taxes on
cigarettes and liquor are not deducti-
BILE. They are stamp taxes levied
on the manufacturer or dealer.
The transportation taxes paid on
railroad, airline and other personal
transportation last year is deducti-
BILE. The rate was per cent of the
fare for the first 10 months; 10 per
cent for the last two months. The
tax on transportation of goods,
amounting to 3 per cent on all freight
and express bills, is deductible.
Taxes imposed by the federal gov
eminent on jewelry, furs and toilet
goods are not deductible. They are
excise taxes levied on the maker
or dealer and are not collection
taxes levied on the taxpayer.
Also deductible are travelling ex-
penses required by ones employer
when such expenses are not reim-
bursed by anything over salary,
wages or commissions.
When your car is used partly for
business and partly for private
purposes, deduction is allowed only
for the portion used for business,
and then only when the driver is
not reimbursed. The loss on the
sale of car, used partly for bust
ness and partly for private purposes,
is divided similarly, but only when
actually sold and not when used as
trade-in.
In addition to deducting the three
cent state tax on all gasoline used
in your car, you can also deduct
the cost of the gasoline and other
supplies for business use of the ma
chine.
Dues to labor unions, assessments
by unions for out of work benefits,
but not for sick, accident or death
benefits, cost of indemnity of fidelity
bonds required by your employment,
and cost of tools and patterns neces-
STATED by the type of work, are de-
ductible, but only if their life is less
than one year. If their life is longer
than one year the owner can dis
count depreciation only.
No deduction is permitted for med
ical and dental expenses, including
accident and health insurance pre-

You Can Deduct
License Fees, Business Expenses,
Contributions, Interest, Taxes.

All contributions, for public pur-
poses, made to the United States,
any state, city or town, are deducti-
BILE, as are contributions to a do
meStic nonprofit organization operat-
ed exclusively for religious, charita-
BILE, literary, educational or scientif-
ic purposes or for prevention Of cru
city to children and animals.
Church contributions include pew
rent, assessments, etc. Organiza-
tions such as USO, Army and Navy
Relief, Red Cross, community chests,
etc., come under the charitable
heading. Literary and educational
organizations include such institu-
tons as nonprofit colleges and
schools, the Boy Scouts, voters
leagues, and study groups. The sci
entific heading includes all nonpar-
tisan scientific societies.
1t is not permissible to deduct con-
tributions made to a bar associa-
ton, a medical association, a pro-
hibition association, political cam
paign committees, volunteer fire
companies, social fraternities, ath-

or relatives.
Generally speaking the taxpayer
may deduct any interest paid on bor-
rowings, including business, person
al and family debts. Because in
terest paid on behalf of a relative
or friend is not legal obligation
on the taxpayer, such interest is not
deductible.
AS a broad general rule, the in
dividual can deduct all taxes he per-
sonally pays to the tax collector, ex-
cept federal income, estate and gift
taxes and state and local benefit,
inheritance, estate, legacy or gift
taxes.
Federal taxes which are deducti-
BILE include those on admissions, dues,
telephone, telegraph, transportation,
auto use, safety deposit boxes, etc.
Admission taxes collected at the
aters and other places of amuse-
ment during 1912 amounted to 10

There Are Dragons

There are real dragons today,
but naturally they are not quite
all that fairy stories say about
such beasts. In the Dutch East
Indies still lives the Komodo drag
on, a fearsome-looking lizard ten
feet long. 1t does not breathe
fire, but it is quite a nasty Gus
toner when reused.
All kinds of extinct lizards and
reptiles, some of which may not
have been extinct for so very long,
no doubt helped to build up the
legends of the dragons against
which the heroes of every land
have fought.
