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.

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." From address by Secretary of Com
merce Herbert C. Hoover, January 9,- 1914.
