Income Tax Recognizes
Forestry
Washington, Jan. 21.
Forestors and lumbermen see
in a decision of the Treasury
Department in regard to the
administration of the income
tax a strong rrgument for for
estry. As they interpret the
opinion of the Treasury offi
cials they understand that no
timberlands shall be subject
to tax until the timber is cut
and marketed and that then:
the profit only will be sub
ject to an income tax assess
ment. In other words, all
costs will be deducted before
the tax is levied, and these
will cover the cost of growing
the timber, including the cost
of planting where neccessary
and of protecting the growing
crop from fire and other de
predation. This decision was based tip
on a request for information
made by P. S. Risdale, secre
tary of the American Forestry
association. He asked if there
would. be a tax on the value
of the yearly growth of tim
ber whether it was cut or not
and also whether an income
tax would be assessed on the
value of timbcrland. In re
ply the Treasury Department
said that "the gain from the
cutting and disposal of stump
age is realized in the year
during which the timber is
cut is disposed of, and that
amount, received in excess of
such timber is profit, and
should be so accounted for as
income for that year."

California Rodeo (Round Up
at the Grand.
Tuesday night Jan. 27th we pre-
sent a splendid reproduction of this
great Round Up held at Salimas,
California last October 1913. The
pictures have been boiled down to
three reels eliminating all events
that are not of especial interest to
the public. This gives you the
assurance of seeing that which is
really worth while. The pictures
are a whirlwind of action from start
to fiuish, the photoplay is brilliant
and absolutely clear. Hippodrome
and chariot races, bucking and
roping contests for the champion
ship of the world. See the boys
trying to ride a donkey, a laughable
mirth provoking performance,
"we've been over the trail and we
can throw the rawhide, there ain't
ne'er a durn bronco but what we
can ride but the donkey threw the
whole cow outfit. Its a great pic
ture. Don't miss it, Admission 10

who are building the Smith-Powers
