Remember the following i'm
portant factors: The same deduc-
ton may never be made twice
In the income tax return. Thus If
you deduct interest and taxes In
computing your business profit or
loss, you may not deduct them
again anywhere else on the re-
turn.
The cost Of carrying on your
business does not include your
ordinary living expenses nor those
Of your family, and these may never
be deducted on the tax return.
For business expenses to he de-
dutible, they must be both ordi-
nary and necessary expenses.
NON-DEDUCTIBLE ITEMS
Expenses for the purchase Of
capital are NEVER deductible,
Expenses for purchase Of capital
Is money you spend to buy new
equipment or to make permanent
improvements to your property.
Commissions you pay to purchase Of
property are not deductible. In gen.

made in acquiring something Of
permanent value.
In explaining deductions in the
blank space provided at the end Of

MEMBRINO'S BILL
MAY BE ADOPTED
No Serious Opposition to
Measure on Liquor Per.
n1ittee's Status

Representative John, Membrino's
bill, repeating the statutory require
ment that liquor permittees be
voters Of this state, received some
support from representatives Of the
state liquor control commission at
the hearing before the legislative
judiciary committee yesterday. The
commission, however, indicated that
It would like to have O requirement
in the law that the per1nittee must
be a citizen Of the United States.
Waterbury's Representative Mem
brine introduced the bill on the
ground that 1t is highly discrimina-
tory to require that a permittee
must be o voter. The only require
ment, he insisted, should be that
the permittee Is q proper person.
The mere fact that he Is voter
does not necessarily prove that he Is
q proper person to have q license,
he said.
Harmon Genlot Of Waterbury,
representative Of the state board Of
trade Of the Restaurant Owners
Association, opposed the Membrino
bill. He stated the present provision
In the law was inserted to prevent
undesirable, fly-by- nighters coming
into the state and operating only o
few days in places which were prac-
tically bawdy houses.
The amendment to the bill may
be that the permittee be q citizen,
but the requirement that he be q
voter may be nullifled.

Benefic aspects rule today after
the early morning. There is a
promising sign for initiative and
industry. Constructive work Of all
sorts should be stimulated.
HEART AND HOME: Women
should benefit under this configu-
ration which is stimulating to the
emotions as well as to physical
well-being. Those who are en-
ployed will find their right occu-
pations after various trials and err
rors Those engaged in war indus
tries will prove their worth, After
mistakes in their first tasks they
will reach extraordinary proficiency
which enables them to- be indepen-
dent of aid from men and associ-
ates. s
BUSINESS AFFAIRS: AS every
possible source of needed materials
for the war is sought and 'devel-
oped this spring. mining camps,
sand hill districts and places where
long neglected resources are OBJ
tanned will take on prosperity.
Again old timers of various inter-
ests will engage in gairful occupa-
tions, it is forecast. In all parts
of the United States there viii be
a keen sense of responsibility in
the production of mineral, animal
and agricultural necessities.
NATIONAL ISSUES While post
war policies are widely discussed
the stars warn that first thought
must be. economic security for sol
diers returning from service in the
war Generous provision for men
| and women who contribute to VIC
tory is Of extreme Importance, as
trologers emphasize, for in, the
new order old injustices must not
be repeated. Those who have
served on battlefields, in the air
and ON the high seas must be re-
warded with the individual indie
pendence which they have earned
by fighting for national liberty :

HOROSCOPE
"The stars incline

SUNDAY, APRIL 4

Planetary aspects, good and i'll,
are active today when the New
Moon of the date offers signs that
are read as most important. The
month is to be marked by colossal
financial war problems. much
greater even than those of tn e
winter. i. =
HEART AND HOME: AS the no
velty of work in the war industries
wears off, girls will turn to. home
duties and pleasures with in
creased appreciation and again
dainty summer costumes will be
popular for evenings and holidays.
Because Americans are fond OF
extremes, the glamor once SO much
sought after and then superseded
by stark ugliness of costume and
appearance will again be desirable,
it is foretold. The summer is TO
reveal contrasts in workers per-
sonalities and thus the fear that
feminine charm would be perman-

1t Happened in China
Omaha World Herald)

At a recent meeting Charles H, Day, the mana
ger of the modification center at the Martini
Nebraska bomber plant related an incident whcn,
we believe deserves wider circulation.
Some years ago, before Pearl Harbor but after
the Japanese invasion of China, Mr. Day was hired
by the Chinese Government to operate an airplane
factory somewhere in the interior of that country.
The Chinese employees of this factory normally
worked a 70-hour week-10 hours day for seven
days If they worked longer, they had to be paid
overtime But before Mr.. Day could pay overtime
wages he had to get permission from the Government
at Chungking This, be readily understood,
was slow process
One day during an emergency (Which possibly
had something to do with japanese bombng) MI
Day called in his Chinese foreman and said, in eff
feet Such and such work must be done immediate
ly There is no time to consult Chungkng. You tell
your men to do the job and 1 will pay their extra
wages personally"
The foreman did directed, and the task was
completed. Mr.. Day handed the foreman enough
money to pay for the extra time.
The next day the foreman returned and put the
money, intact, Mr. Days desk
How Gomez" asked the American why didn't
you pay the men?"
They wouldn't take it,, replied the Chinese
They said, if the work important enough so
that you foreigner willing to pay for it out
of your own pocket then it important enough
SO that they. Chinese, should be glad of the
chance to do it for their country"
This, as said in the beginning happened in

entity discarded will vanish in this
country famous for the beauty OF
it's women. This should be lucky
day for welcoming friends in uni
form.
BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Specula-
ton will be more tempting than
usual this spring, the seers proph-
esy. and it will affect women as
well as men. Certain stocks will
lure many wage earners and again
there will be danger of losses
through investments in wildcat Sc
curities. The aspects indicate that
the gambling spirit will be part OF
the general recklessness that is an
accompaniment as well as an after
math of war. Government safe
guards will protect the public so
far as possible.
NATIONAL ISSUES: Interest in
the next national campaign Will
awaken early and Presidential cam
didates will be widely discussed as
a relief from war topics, astrolo-
gers foretell. There is sign read
as presaging the retention in Of
flee of President Roosevelt who
will this year add greatly to the
world fame which he has achieved.
Except for aspects that cause en-
phasis upon the safeguarding OF
his health, the President appears
to be most fortunate in every re-
spect. The stars seem to link his
name in history with Washington
and Lincoln. 4t.
INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS:
Political conflict is forecast for
Australia The summer is to pre-
sent, complicated problems in the
Pacific part of the World War
which will require the wisest Am
erican diplomacy to settle. A rising

GREEKS BEARING GIFTS

When the Greek American Order
OF Ahepa presented the President
with huge stone bust of himself,
Walter Russell, the sculptor, in
quired if the President had any
suggestions regarding the position
Of the bust in front of the Roose-
velt Library at Hyde Park where
it is to be installed
That's out Of my hands," the
President grinned. You'll have to
take it up with the librarian or
the trustees. The library is no
longer my property, 1t belongs to
the American people"
However, the President had some
definite notions about when the
bust should be unveiled VIII e Il
George c. Vournas, president of
Ahepa, said that the unwilling
would be postponed until the sum-
mer. Roosevelt heartily agreed.
If you've ever been to Hyde
Park in the winter, you'll under
stand why" he remarked. Il all
most froze to death the last time
/ was there"
Since the bust is of heroic size
and weighs half a ton, it was not
practical to bring it to Washing
ton from Russell's studio in New
York So the President was given,
instead, a miniature of the work.
After presenting this, Vournas
introduced six other Ahepa Off
