"We have no official knowledge of the merg ing of the two Institutions and we found that there are only copies of notes covering large loans on real es tate.

ACCOUNTS EASY TO KEEP Explains to Protesting Accountant That Tax Is Not on Profits, but on Net Income No Diffi culty to Report. WASHINGTON, July 17. Declaring that any corporation which "keeps just and true books of account" can make up the return required by the proposed cor poration tax law, Attorney-General Wick ersham today made public a letter he has written to a firm of Wall-street account ants, who challenged some provisions of the proposed law as "absolutely impos sible of application" and others as vio lative of all the accepted principles of sound accounting. Mr. Wickersham points out that the proposed law does not impose a tax on profits, but on "the entire net income over and above $5000 received by the cor poration, joint stock company or asso ciation subject to the law from all sources during such year. "It may be inconvenient, but is cer tainly not impossible for any corporation, which keeps just and true books of ac count to make up a return such as that required by the proposed law, particularly as the return requires a statement of actual receipts and payments, and not. as you recommend in your communica tion, of expenses 'incurred,' interest 'ac crued' and losses 'ascertained.'
