Amount Received in Excess of Expense for GroTvInjr, Cutting and Marketing; Will Be Subject to Taxation. WASHINGTON, Jan. 20. Foresters and lumbermen see in a decision of th Treasury Department in regard to the administration of the income ' tax a strong argument for forestry. As they interpret the opinion of the Treasury officials they understand that no tim ber lands shall be subject to the tax until the timber is cut and marketed, and that then only the profit will be subject to an Income tax assessment. In other words, .all costs will be de ducted before the tax is levied, and these will cover the cost of growing the timber. Including the cost of plant ing where necessary and of protecting the growing crop from fire and other depredation. This decision was based on a re quest for information made by P. S. Rldsdale, secretary of the American Forestry Association. He asked if there would be a tax on the value of the yearly growth of timber whether It was cut or not, and also whether an Income tax would be assessed on the value of the timber land. In reply the Treasury Department said that "the gain from the cutting and disposal of stumpage is realized in the year during which the timber is cut and disposed of, and that the amount received in excess of the cost of such timber is profit and should be so accounted for as income for that year." $10,000 IN GEMS STOLEN Burglars Cut Through Floor and Walls to Reach Jewelry.
