[the ablest speakers now on the plat-

national consideration. A rapid speak­
er, and rarely pausing for a word,
he spoke for fully two hours and a
half, and had his audience in the hol­
low of his hand. He was absolutely
fearless in his denunciation of those
who seek to change out form of gov­
ernment, and urged them to beware
how far they went. He fully ex­
plained the objects of the Klan and

blooded American to stand by the
Klan in its efforts to preserve the
country.
The speaker's address was replete
with wit and humor, and he held his
audience with a compelling grip to
the last. It is needless to say that
Mr. Allison is a favorite with a Tilla­
mook audience. His earnestness in­
fected all. His logic was irresistible.
He drove his facts in with the force

Mr. Allison’s address was preceded
by a short but incisive talk by Lem
Devers, the man who brought the
Western American into existence,
who made an appeal for support of
that leading Klan paper.
TIPS FOR TAXPAYERS
1i
(Continued from page 4)
reporting net income of $5,GOO or less
derived chiefly from salary or wages.
All items of gross income must be
reported. In the ease of a storekeeper
gross income usually consists of the
gross profits on sales, together with
income from other sources. The re­
turn must show the gross sales, pur­
chases, and cost of goods sold.
The professional man, lawyer, doc­
tor, dentist, must include all fees and
other compensation for professional
services. The farmer must report as
gross income the proceeds of sale or
exchange of products raised on the
farm and the profits from the sale of
products purchased by him and resold.
He must also report gross income
from ail other sources.
Taxpayers, in order to take full ad­
vantage of the deductions to which
they are entitled, are advised to study
carefully the instructions on the forms
under the head "Income from business
or profession.”
No. 5.
In the making of his 1923 income-
tax return the business man, profes­
sional man, and the farmer may de­
duct from gross income all items
properly attributable to business ex­
penses. In the case of a storekeeper
they include amounts spent for rent
of his place of business, advertising,
premiums for insurance against fire
or other losses, the cost of water,
light, and heat used in his place of
business, drayage and freight bills
the cost of repairs and maintenance
to delivery wagons and trucks, and a
reasonable allowance for salaries of
employees. A professional man, law­
yer, doctor, or dentist may deduct the
cost of supplies used in his profession,
expenses pnid in the operation and re­
pair of an automobile used in making
profesional calls, dues to professional
societies, subscriptions to profession­
al journals, office rent, cost of light,
heat, and water used in his office, and
the hire of office assistants. The
farmer may deduct amounts paid in
the production and harvesting of his
crops, cost of seed and fertilizer used
cost of minor repairs to farm build­
ings (other than the dwelling), and
cost of small tools used up in the
course of a year or two.
No. fl.
In computing his net income for the
year 1923 a taxpayer may deduct
from gross income all losses, incurred
not only in his business, trade or pro­
fession, but in any “transaction enter­
ed into for profit” not compensated
for by insurance or otherwise.
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's home, which at
the time of purchase was bought with­
out intention of resale, is not deduct­
ible because it was not a transaction
entered into for profit.
Losses sustained in the operation of
a fuim as a business venture are de­
ductible. If sustained in the oper­
ation of a farm operated merely for
the pleasure or convenience of the
taxpayer, such losses ure not deduc­
tible.
No. 7.
Losses arising from fires, storms,
shipwreck, or “other casualty"—for
example, a flood or frost—whether or
not connected with the taxpayer's
business may be deducted from gross
income in his 1923 in< - me-tax retuin.
If his home or automobile is destroy­
ed hy fire, the loss is deductible foX
the year which it occurred.
