' A BOARDMAN 4 Tips for Taxpayers No. 6. !m computing !is net income for the year ')Ti a taxptr p.v may deduct from gross income all losses, In curred not only In his business, trade or profession, but in any "transac tion entered into for profit" not com pensated for by Insurance or other wise. To be allowed, losses not incurred in trade or business must conform closely to the wording of the statute. For example, a loss incurred in the sale of a taxpayer'3 home, 'which at the time of purchase was bought without intention of resale, Is not deductible because It was not a transaction entered into for profit. Losses sustained in the operation of a farm as a business venture are deductible. If sustained in the oper ation of a farm operated merely for the pleasure or convenience of the taxpayer, such losses are not deduc tible.

Cold Weather Comforts When the weather is cold and stormy, what is better than a comfortable club-room, a cue at billiards, a hand at whist, a good cigar or a delicious hot drink? All these' Pastimes and Creature Comforts may be found at Curran & Barr's PASTIME The House of Welcome and Good Cheer Elks' Building fUppier, Ore Where the Railroad Dollar Goes Practically all the money the railroads take in is Immed iately put back into circulation. Railroads do a large volume- of business on a narrow margin of net income. Out of every dolUt earned from operation by the railways of the United States there was absorbed in 1922, b'y Wages and Salaries 44.4 cents , Fuel 9.4 Other operating and maintenance expenses (including such Items as rails and ties, loss and damage) 25.6 " Hire of Equipment and Joint Facility Rents 1.5 " Taxes 5.4 " Net Operating Income 13.7 " 100.0 " Out of this 13.7 cents of net operating income, 12.2 cents went for Interest on bonds and other fixtures, leaving 1.5 cents for stockholders. Adding 6.9 cehts of income from out side sources, net corporate income was 8.4 cents, of which 4.9 was paid in dividends, leaving 3.5 cents available for ap propriations and surplus. Gross earnings of the railroads in 1922 were $1,567,000,000 more than In 1917. This 11,567,000,000 and more too, was immediately paid out again, as follows: 9918,000,000 in added wages to railroad employe 183,000,000 in added cost of coal; mostly miners wage 123,000,000 for additional taxes 500,000,000 additional for material, and supplies large ly representing wages. The stockholders and bondholders of the railroads got none of the Increase. It is significant that good times are always coincident with heavjr buying on the part of the railroads and that bad times are periods of light railway purchases. The Union Pacific System Is one of the most inportant en terprises west of the Missouri Rivef. Its nearly 60,000 em ployes, and their families, constitute a buying power which is the main reliance of many businesses. The purchases of the Union Pacific System from firms located on the System, or which hae offices on our lines, aggregate millions of dollars each month. The railways' are planning to spend hundreds of millions of new money during 1924 to better serve the public. "Our transportation movement during 1923. is the outstand ing industrial accomplishment of the year. The waste ot the year 1920 with its car rhortages. its derangements df price levels, stoppage of Industry, probably amounted to hot less than a billion dollars, and the American people and noi' eco nomic fabric could have stood that' loss that did not have a total Income In excess of sixty billions. One great contribu tion to the business stability of the past year has been ths fact that w,e have had a free and regular and orderly move ment of transportation."
