Farmers' Deductions.
The farmers may deduct all amounts

must have certain qualities to be al
lowed. ..They must relate to a busi
ness, trade, profession, or vocation
"carried on" by the taxpayer, in which
he has invested time or money for
the purpose of a livelihood or profit.
A single transactiqn or a series of
isolated transactions do not ordinarily
constitute trade or business. A busi
ness is being carried on by a taxpayer
even if all of its activities are con
ducted by' empl'ojeea. A tax payer
may conduct more than one business
or trade, and claim the business ex
pense of each, provided he devotes
sufficient time and attention to each.
Salary Allowances.
"The act provides for the deduction
of "reasonable allowance for salaries
or other compensation for personal
service actually rendered." Such claims
to be allowed must conform closely to
the wording of the statute. The test
of deductibility is whether the
amounts paid are reasonable, and
whether they are, in fact, purely for
personal services. Resonable com
pensation is held by the Bureau of In
ternal Revenue to mean only such
amounts as would ordinarily be paid
for like services by like enterprises in
like circumstances.
Bonuses to employees may be de
ducted by the --employer when such
payment are made in good faith and
as additional compensation for serv
ices actually render, provided " that
when added to the stipulated salaries
the total does not exceed "a reason
able compensation for such services."
Such bonuses must be included in the
returns of the recipients. Gifts to em
ployees, which do not have in them
the element of compensation, may not
be deducted by the employer, and need
not be included in the return of the
recipient.

BEAT UNIVERSITY FROSH
In a clean cut victory, In whicnvtHe
visitors did not succeed in scoring a
single fall, the Oregon City High
School wrestling team defeated the
University of Oregon freshmen in a
match at the local- gym Saturday
night.
In five contests, the freshmen an-
tnexed two decisions, the first thre
being taken by, the high school by
straight falls.
The initial go was between Yamme,
of the University and Russell, Ore
gon City, at 115 pounds. Russell took
the first fall in 3:10 and the second
in 1:50. Barry, U. of O., lost two
straight go's to Tatro, Oregon City.
Both were 125 pounds. The first fall
required 4:10 and the second .3:30.
In the third contest, also 125 pound
class, Chester Newton, Oregon City,
took two straight falls- from Sump
tion, U. of O. The time was 1:30 and
1:25. ,
In the fourth match at 135 pounds,
Robinson, U. of O., wrestled a draw
with Clarence Newton, Oregon City,
in the first six minute round. . The
freshman took the second round by a
decision, and in the third Newton
held a draw. The last match was be
tween Bergsvik, U. -of O., and Paine,
Oregon City, both weighing 145
pounds. Bergsvik took two straight
decisions.
Robinson, who was one of the Uni
versity stars, is a graduate of the Ore
gon City high school class of '21.
The local team is now within one
notch ot the state championship
which they annexed last year. If they
succeed -in defeating Eugene- High,
they will be claimants for the title.
According to coach "Doc" King, this
deciding contest is being scheduled
for the latter part ot March.
The Oregon City high school basket
ball team and the Molalla high aggre
gation will settle their district dis
pute as to who will enter the state
tournament at Salem when the. two
teams meet at the local gym Tuesday
evening. Both teams are fast and
this game will be hard fought from
start to finish. Eby, guard on the
Oregon City team who has been out
of the game for several weeks will be
in the lineup which will help the lo
cals considerably. '
Coach "Doc" King is leaving noth
ing unturned that will mean victory
for his team. He will see that his
boys are in the pink of condition to
start against the visitors.
In the preliminary the Oregon City
Midgets will meet the Gladstone
Grammar school team in a game. The
Midgets have been going strong of
late and their real strength will be
known after they meet the Gladstone
aggregation. The first game is called
for seven-thirty.
LIBRARY TREES IS TRIED
New Experiment Is Evolved to
Kill Elm Beetle; Time to
Prove Value of Treatment
A new experiment in horticulture
is being tried in the Oregon City
brary'park. A sulphur injection has
been made into all of the elm treea
in an attempt to stop the elm tree
beetle pest which for the past few
years has been working on the trees.
The new wrinkle is evolved by E.
W. Scott, street superintendent, who
heard that the system was tried in
the east. The process involves bor
ing two holes into the trunk of the
trees, filling with sulphur and plug
ging, them up. The theory is that
the sap in rising, takes on a sulphur
ous quality which imparts a taste to
the leases making them unpalatable
to the. bettles, which are forced to
leave or starve to death.
So far the injection is only experi
mental, and it is hoped -that it will
prove more successful than a similar
operation performed by fake "special
ists" who killed a number of trees
throughout Clackamas county by bor- .
ing and putting some prepared sub
stances inside the trunk. According
to Mr. Scott, the danger lies in bor
ing through the heart of the trees.
Attempts were made early this year
to have the trees sprayed irt accord
ance with the advice of the experts
at the Oregon Agricultural college,
but the city did not take any action.
The beetles, in addition to menacing
the life of the trees have become so
numerous that they are a bother to
householders below the park.
The affect that the sulphur injec
tion will have upon the trees will not
be noticed until later in the year it la
understood. The habits of the beetle
are to ascend the tree in the spring,
eat off the first growth" of leaves,
come down the tree and deposit eggs, .
climbing back in time to eat the sec
ond leaf, growth. If the sulphur
treatment is effective, the trees
should be freed from the beetles by
the end of the year. If it is not, by
that time the trees will be dead. Mr.
Scott, however, feels that it is wortn
the chance for he says the trees
might as well be dead as in their pre- -sent
condition.
