INCOME TAX FACTS EXPLAINED
Department of Internal Revenue Clears Up Some of the
Mysteries Concerning Filling Out of Reports.
(Note: This is the fourth of a
series on the Income Tax returns
appearing in the Morning Enter
prise. They are prepared by the
Department of Internal Revenue.)
In computing net income the tax
payer is permitted to deduct from
gross income certain deductions for
losses, bad debts, contributions, inter
est, taxes, etc. Deduction for losses
include not only losses incurred in the
taxpayer's trade or business, but loss
es connected with any transaction "en
tered into for profit, or if arising
are expressly disallowed by the reve
nue act of 1921. In connection with
the sale or disposition of stocks or
securities, no deduction will be allow
ed "where it appears that within thir
ty days before or atfer such sale or
disposition the taxpayer has acquired
(other than by bequest or inheritance)
substantially identical property and
the property so acquired Is held by tne
taxpayer for any period after such
vale or other disposition."
Owners of stocks and bonds cannot
deduct from gross income amounts
claimed as losses on account of the
shrinkage of value in such securities
from fires, storms, shipwreck, or other through fluctuations in the market or
casualty. Deductions tor losses are
allowable only to the extent that they
are not compensated for by insurance
or otherwise.
Losses arising from the destruction
or damage to property acquired prior which they deal
to March 1, 1913, are to be computed
on the basis of the fair market price
or value as of that date, unless the
cost is less tban such value, in which
case the loss is computed on the basis
Of cost.
A new provision of the revenue act
of 1921 is that in exceptional cases,
and in order more c'.early to reflect in
come, the Commissioner of Internal
otherwise. The foregoing applies
only to owners and investors, and not
to dealers in securities, who, by means
of the inventory, are given the bene
fit of shrinkage in the securities in

whether the case is within the excep

Claims for losses must conform
closely to the wording of the statute.
The loss must have been actually sus

While a taxpayer may feel certain
that property owned by him is worth
less than the purchase price, he is not

made absolute by the sale, or other

sustained by a taxpayer in the sale
of his residence, which at the time of
purchase was bought without inten

item, because it was not a transaction
"entered into for profit." For the same

MOB IS FIRED ON
PAWTUCKET, R. l., Feb. 21. Two
men were killed and a score injured
in a pitched battle between textile
workers and police here today.
Police led by Mayor Robert A. Ken

crowd of strikers which refused to
disnerse.

'Wash Sales"
Cl;i'rr for deductions for losses
on what is known as "wash sales"
mi'I, despite orders from Mayor Ken
yon, who personally reqd the riot act.
T.juiehs and jers greeted his order.
The police were then ordered to aim
their riot min into the crowd, but
the strikers still refused to move.
Traffic regulation ,in its various
phases, occupied practically the en
tire council session Wednesday eve
ning. Parking on Main street, admin
istration of the vehicle franchise or
dinance, the interurban bus law, the
auto park,, and the purchase of a mo
torcycle for the police department
were discussed, although very little
was accomplished toward the solution
of the problems.
The council, faced with a petition
signed by business men in the affect
ed district, voted down an ordinance
to change the time for parking on
Main street between Eighth and Sixth
streets. An attempt was made . to
change the ordinance to comply with
the lo minute limit sign. The busi
ness men asked to have a thirty
limit and the council after some
discussion, voted to let the presem
45 minute law stand. Councilman
Fred Metzner declared that 15 min
utes was too small a time with no
other streets open for parking pur
poses. J. E? Jack took issue, stating
that it required a 15 minute ordinance
to keep the streets clear and prevent
double parking. R. Petzold stated
that he thought that Railroad avenue
and Water street should be opened
before such stringent regulations
were put on.
45 Minute Limit to Ciand
Appearing for the petitioners, .
W. Humphrys stated that the pro
posed limit was so short that no one
could trade at the local stores and
leave a ar outside. H. S. Mount held
that the 30 minute substitute clause
was poor and urged the adoption of
the 15 minute ordinance or the rejec
tion of any change. The action of
the council lets the 45 minute parking
limit stand.
Councilman Ed. Van Anken drew
attention to the placing of the Inter
section block at Tenth and Main stat
ing that it was not in a position so
that a large machine could go around
it if cars were parked on the streets.
The matter was referred to the street
committee. J. R. Stafford, engineer
for the city, pointed out the need for
further regulation of traffic upon
Tenth street.
Truckmen Protest License
Truck men and representatives of
transportation companies appeared In
protest to the ordinance which im
poses a license upon interurban trans
portation lines.- J. Bishop, of the Wil
lamette Valley Transfer company,
voiced a protest- against the $5 a
month fee which he said virtually pre
vented the lines from doing business.
Robert L. McGuire and Philip Ham
mond appeared as attorneys for the
traTisrinrtt'on men. Althou-gh they
had signified their willingness to ap
ply for city franchises,, they stated
that the fees were considered out of
proportion. City Attorney O- D- Eby
outlined the proceedure that had been
taken, and the council decided to hold
a conference upon the subject next
Monday evening, to thrash out the de
tails of the franchise.
Auto Park to be Self Supporting
The report of the city attorney who
attended the Roseburg Auto Park
convention was adopted, and although
referred to the park committee, the
i council declared itself as favoring the
plan to make the park itself support
ing. The report provided for the fee
of 50 cents a car for each day's stay,
which was decided on at the confer
ence. Next Monday night the coun
cil wH attend a meeting of the park
committee, at which will be outlined
the administration of the auto park
affairs for the coming season.
F. H. Cross, chairman of the Health
and Police committee pointed out the
impossibility of enforcing traffic reg
ulations without a motorcycle and
urged that the city purchase a ma
chine. He was backed in this request
by Chief of Police May who stated
that a machine wouVi pay for itself
in the apprehension of speeders alone.
He told of the condition which exist
ed throughout the town with which
the officers could not cope for lack
of proper equipment.
No action was taken upon the sub
ject, which was referred to the Health
and Police committee with instruc
tions to make a definite report at the
special meeting March 17.
Two other matters are in the hands
of committees for reports on the 17th.
A condemnation ordinance, suggested
by the state fire marshal's office fol
lowing their survey here, is to be re-r-crted
on by the fire and water com
mittee and the departmental heads
are to confer on the question of the
eity's application for the benefits of
the workmen's compensation act.
The ordinance for the appropria
tion of $500 for the new ferry was
laid over for another month. The gen
eral feeling among the members of
the council was that they had no
guarantee that the work would be
properly done, or that a good sched
ule will be maintained, and they pre
ferred to withhold their payment un
til after they get concrete- evidence
that the project will be carried
through as represented.
