While I'm waiting for a hair

lets slip with a crack about those
foreigners" who live by the depot.
"Now wait a minute, SLIM"
snaps Doc Sherman. Don't forget
we're all foreigners more or less.
Some of our families have simply
been here longer than others. But
even if they came over on the May
flower, they were foreigners to the
Indians"
Slim gets a little red and you
could see that Doc, had him. "And

for contributions. You may not de-
duct an amount in excess of 1870
of your adjusted gross income.
Losses incurred in your trade or
business or in transactions entered
into for profit and all losses of
property arising from fire, storm,
shipwreck or other casualty (al-
though not connected with a trade
or business) may be deducted from
your gross income. For example, it
has been held that damages to the
taxpayers residential property
caused by hurricane, flood or a
bursting boiler may be deducted as
a casualty loss. The Tax Court has
also allowed a deduction for dam
ages caused to a residential prop
erty resulting from quarry blasts.

Deductions From Gross Income
The Federal Income Tax Law
provides that the tax is imposed on
the net income of the taxpayer.
The net income is that portion of
the gross income remaining after
deductions allowed by the law have
been subtracted therefrom. Most
all taxpayers have lawful deduc-
tions from their gross income not
outstanding that they may not be
engaged in a trade or business.
For wage earners or salaried en-
ployees the usual deductions are
contributions to charitable organi-
cations, taxes, and losses. For the
taxpayer who pursues trade,
business or profession the deduc-
tions in addition to contributions,
taxes and losses are for all ordi-
nary and necessary expenses paid
or incurred during the taxable
year in carrying on lawful trade
or business. Before an expense
may be deducted the law requires
(a) that it must be incurred in the
trade or business conducted by the
taxpayer, (b) that the outlay must
not be for permanent items Gas a
general rule these expenditures
must be capitalized and depreci-
ated over a period of years., (c)
that the OUTLAWS must be for ''ordi-
nary and necessary expenses. To
be ordinary and necessary, how
ever, does not mean that they
must be habitual to the particular
taxpayer. The frequency of that
expense in the taxpayers individ-
ual business is not the test, but
rather whether or not it is known
from experience in that type of
business that such an expense is
necessary and is not uncommon.
Taxes, Contributions and Losses
All taxes are not deductible from
gross income and some taxes are
deductible only if incurred as a
business expense. The Federal
Law provides that taxes imposed
by the United States, the several
states and political subdivisions
thereof may be deducted, except
federal income tax, excess profits,
estate and gift taxes, local taxes
and local estate, inheritance, leg
acy, succession and gift taxes. 1t is
interesting to observe at this point
that State income taxes may be de-
Quoted on your Federal return but
neither State or Federal income
taxes may be deducted on your
State return. The following is a
partial list of taxes which may be
deducted from your gross income
~ State gasoline taxes, ~ Real
and personal property taxes, (3)
State sales tax, (4) State income
tax Ton your Federal return)
(5) Automobile tags and taxes
Cd Tax on safe deposit box
These items are deductible by
every taxpayers even though they
may not be engaged in a trade OF
business. Other taxes are deduct.
ible only as an expense incurred in
certain business or incurred in the
production of income. For exam.
pie, the tax paid on furs and jewel
ry is not deductible by the con.
sumner but by the retailer.
AS a general rule a Taxpayer
may deduct from his gross income
contributions made to the State OIL
Federal Government for public
purposes such as universities OF
fire departments for public use
and contributions made to all reli.

stated that if the business is a

Then Lescaze and Nagin ran into the fiat
