per cent. A so cent theater ticket,
which cost the customer IS cents,
represents cent deduction.
Automobile owners are entitled to
deduct state and local license fees,
the federal use stamps (Which cost
500 in 1942), 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.
It 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 8 per cent on all freight
and express bills, is deductible.
Taxes imposed by the federal gov
eminent on jewelry, ftlrs 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
a trade-in.

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

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

BILE way of helping with the war eff
fort, comes suddenly to life at one
of the meetings, and offers to give
all the small children in the block
a party on Big Game day, so that
the fans can 60 to the game.
Gathers Vital Statistics.
Conscientious little Mrs. Baker re-
ports that there are II hot water
bottles in the block, five thermom-
eters, two ice-bags, one woman who
was nurse, one who took two years
of medicine, one who is a graduate
dietitian, and q persons who will
take hour by hour sentry duty in
case of raid.
Mrs. Bates admits that she never
knew that DR.. Williams daughter
was blind. She will 60 read to her
twice a week with the greatest
pleasure.
This block scheme was started by
Edwina Kenney Hegland of San
Diego. Her name ought to be a
household word from now on. For
her inspiration is toward the real
brotherhood that is the only cure for
all our troubles, and the only ending
of war. When nations learn what
these neighboring women have
learned, fear will die, and with fear
hate will die, and we will learn to
construct with our billions, and no
longer destroy. For deep in their
hearts, every man and woman in this
world wants three things, love, Sc
curity, service. And it is one Of
Gods miracles that there is always
enough of these three things, and
that the more Of them we give, the
more, by hundreds and thousands of
times, the supply increases.
But remember, when you begin
your block work, that fear and suspi-
cion, and the shyness that masks it.
self in stiffness and ndofishness,
is all about you. Your neighbors will
think you want to get something for
nothing; many quite intelligent wom-
en- have never learned to share, new
er learned to be neighborly. They
will hoard old rubber sheets, old
copper, dentist chairs, chopping
blocks, any old rubbish at all, rather
than put it to use. That the loan Of
a suitcase might make some little
girl in the block feel happier; that
the milk that accumulates after a
few days absence, or the magazines
with which one is quite finished
might contribute immensely to the
comfort of the woman next door, has
never occurred to them.
Breaks Down Aloofness.
Yet those women long for COM
partnership and occupation, and after
a rather dubious, chilly, unsuccess-
full meeting or two will blossom out
into genuine helpfulness. What this
will do for them personally is in
calculable, but it is what the scheme
will do for America in this hour of
crisis that counts. Unity, co-opera-
ton, the holding of each others
hands was never so valuable. The
very children will flourish In the
genial atmosphere that will spread
itself over the gardens and back
yards, the front stoops and kitchen
porches; they will feel safer.

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

poses, made to the United States,

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. Organize
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-
lions as nonprofit colleges and
schools, the Boy Scouts, voters

entific heading includes all nonpar-
tisan scientific societies.
It 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-
letic clubs or gifts to needy friends
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 a legal obligation
on the taxpayer, such interest is not
deductible.
AS broad general rule, the in

cept federal income, estate and gift
taxes and state and local benefit,
inheritance, estate, legacy or gift

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

In general, q farmer VINO operates
a 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 a 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 period of years
are capital expenditures, and thus
are not deductible.
/ Fees paid for advertising farm

use; expenditures for travel in con-
nection with the farm business and
other similar miscellaneous expendi-

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. It 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.

NNE Of the good things-one
I Of the best things, to come
~ out of this first war year,
The midland journal. (Rising Sun, Md.) 1885-1947, 1943-03-05
By KATHLEEN NORRIS
Bell syndicate-wNu Features.


NNE of the good things-one
Of the best things, to come
~ out of this first war year,
is the San Diego ''Block Plan"
This block plan is really a
''good neighbor" policy applied
to your home, your kitchen and
garden, your children's school
and your social club.
The women of San Diego,
under the inspired leadership
of the woman who originated
the plan, have been carrying
it out with such success and
such enthusiasm that when I last
had a report, some months ago,
more than five thousand blocks were
developing it. A "block unit is
simply block in your town, city or
suburb in which the womanfolk
quietly and unostentatiously get to
know each other.
The men have organized and gone
away, and thousands of younger
women have gone away, too, into
defense and Red Cross work. This
is the organization of the home-mak-
ing women, and its effect is wonder
full, even now in its shaly begin
nings, that it may prove to be, as
suggested in opening this article,
the very best thing that has come
out of, or can come out of, war.
For it means friendliness, sharing,
security. Those beautiful things that
war threatens and loneliness accen-
tuates. 1t means that every old
woman, busy housewife, high school
girl and child within its influence is
enveloped in a sense of community
protection and safety, and those are
invaluable assets today.
Neighbors Meet Frequently.
1t means that you meet the men
and women who live in the houses
each side of you, discover what you
can do for them in case of shortage,
emergency or panic and let them
know what they can do for you.
1t means that you pick central
point for assembly in case of real
need, that you appoint some woman
as block guardian who will call
meetings, and arrange well in adj
vance for those next-door services
that may be demanded of us all at
any time.
For example. You knew that pref
ty little Mrs. Smith two doors away
had two children, but you weren't
quite sure of anything else about
her. Now you discover that there's
to be a third child in March. But
that child may decide to come when
the Observation-Disclosures is far
away, the hospitals crowded and
the children's grandmother laid up
with a broken ankle. That's when
you take the older children home
with you, and Mrs. Brown, two doors
away on the other side, who used to
be trained nurse before she mar
ried, steps in to keep an eye on Mrs.
Smith.
Two months later, when your big
boy gets a weeks leave and you
could join him if it wasn't for Daddy
and Margaret, both in hard war
time jobs, Mrs. Smith and Grandma
Smith welcome Margaret and Daddy
for meals as if they were royal
guests.
Meanwhile Mrs. Davis, up at the
corner, has discovered that the
Montgomerys, who have been living
in the block for five years without
anyone paying any attention to them,
are anxious to loan the Smiths their
baby's outworn perambulator. Old
Aunty Wilson, in the brown cottage
with the pepper tree, offers her
big iron preserving kettles to any,
one who wants to put up the first
cherries and strawberries.
Mrs. Jones, who has been COM
rlainin0 that she HASN'T any r,nsei.
