Accountant Shows Way
To Escape Paying Taxes
AN OCCASIONAL WHIFF OF SPRING seems to be in the air these last few days (along with whiffs of lingering Winter)
hut gardeners report that dalfodil shoots are beginning to push through the ground. It won't be long before flowers for
such lovely arrangements as this can be plucked from Klamath Kails flowerbeds. The daffodils pictures are the King
Alfred variety, definitely a West Coast strain and one of the most popular of the daffodil family.
By I D CRKAOK ,
WASHINGTON Ml Once upon
a time, an March 15 crept ud on
him, 11 certuln taxpayer fell to
brooding about the hlKh cost to
him ol running the government.
And bo he looked through the
fine print ol the tax lawx, and there
he discovered a loophole.
"Medical expenne," It said there
included "amounts paid Jor the
dlannol, cure, mltlatlon, treat
ment, or prevention of dltcase. or
for the purpone of affectlnK any
tructure or function of the body."
So, happily, the taxpayer listed
such "medical expcrucn" as:
Food 1.520
Clothing fiOO
;ClKarcttcs 150
Liquor 200
Rent 1.200
Television set 250
The Internal Revenue Bureau, of
course, turned him down on all
these deductions. But he carried
the matter to court and won out
on almost every item
This reduced his net income, for
tax purposes, to 7.ero.
And the only flaw In an other
wise dellKhtlul story Is that the
taxpayer is purely imaBlnaruand
so Is the court decision In his fa
vor. Both were made up by John P.
Hodgkln, a certified accountant for
Price. Watcrhouse It Co.. Philadel
phia, who wrote a tongue-in-cheek
piece on the subject In the current
issue of "Taxes," a manazlne pub
lished by Commercial Clearing
House, Inc., of Chicago.
Officials at the Internal Revenue
Bureau here were much amused by
the article and said they felt sure
nobody would take it seriously
enough to claim anv of the "rec
ommended" deductions all of
which actually are personal ex
penses and can't be deducted.
The Imaginary court in the ar
ticle, however, takes a more lib
eral view.
Food, for example, is held to be
a medical expense because It "Is
necessary for the prevention of
malnutrition, pellagra and starva
tion." Clothing In ruled deductible since
It prevents frostbite and sunburn
and also because the non-wearing
of it "will lead to prolonged Incar
ceration In the local cooler." which
would be bad for mental and physi
cal health.
Cigarettes? They may. as some
magazine articles say. be bad foi
the health. If so, they obviously are
"affecting a function of the body."
as the tax law puts it and the
law doesn't say the effect on the
body has to be favorable.
Liquor: "Even a small intake re
sults in impairment of the menial
processes, thickening of the speech
and loss of equilibrium. Since all
the above are functions of the body,
this deduction Is allowed."
Internal Revenue officials said
all the items listed In the article
have been claimed by actual tax
payers as medical expenses at one
time or another and always have
been disallowed.
There was, for Instance, the fel
low who claimed a $500 deduction
for liquor on medical grounds. Said
he sometimes felt he'd die if he
didn't have a drink.
And there was another taxpayer
who said he couldn't do his Job
"unless I am half stewed." His oc
cupation: Morgue attendant.
