THE FACTS ONLY
change the application of the law.)
In a trial the parties present the
facts, and the judge or jury draw
their conclusions from them.
Thus a witness who tries to tell
the court who was at fault is likely
to find this opinion ruled out. Most
witnesses can speak only of things
they can see and hear, not what they
conclude from these things. The
court — judge or jury — decides who,
if anybody, is at fault.
But expert witnesses such as doc
tors, engineers, scientists, mechanics
and others often express their opin
ion to help the court reach a decis
ion.
In a suit for deaths caused by an
explosion of nitroglycerine used by
an industrial firm, a professor of
chemistry has been recognized as an
expert on the cause of the disaster.
Doctors of medicine frequently testi
fy as to the probable cause of an ill
ness on the relationship of an injury
to a disability.
Most of us can qualify as experts
in some field: We can give fairly
sound views as to the speed, dis
tance or the size of things. When peo
ple whom we see every day get sued,
we may well have to testify as to
their conduct, views or feelings. Cer
tain people whose handwriting we oi-
ten see, may make us expert in their
handwriting.
We are all experts on our own
things: If the state condemns yoUr
land for a freeway, you can testify
as to its value, use and prospects.

PARTNERSHIP OR CORPORATION
Thinking of going into business for
yourself? Perhaps you and Bill Smith
have decided to operate a business
together. Should this be done as part
ners or as a corporation? The answer
to this problem solves many legal
questions.
Perhaps the most important factor
is that the business or personal acts
of either you or Bill may be binding
upon the partnership. The corpora
tion, however, can act only through
its officers and agents, and then only
within the limitation granted by the
articles of incorporation.
As members of a partnership both
you and Bill will be liable for all of
the debts of the business. In the case
you have business losses, the credi
tors of the partnership could take all
of tht assets of the partnership, and
all of the personal assets of either
you or Bill, or both (except a few ex
empt by law), in order to satisfy the
partnership debts.
On the other hand, if you form a
corporation the creditors may go on
ly against the assets of that corpora
tion so that the most that either of
you can lose is the amount you have
invested in the business. The credi
tors could not touch the property
which either of you own personally
and individually, outside of your cor
poration stock.
In the event of the death of you or
Bill, it wculd be necessary to liqui
date the partnership, but in the case
of a corporation the operation of the
business is not affected by the death
of an owner (stockholder). The firm
continues as the same business with
the heirs of the one who dies substi
tuted as the owners of the stock.
Of primary interest to you and Bill
will be the amount of income taxes
you have to pay. In a partnership,
each of the owners of the business in
cludes on his individual income tax
return his proportionate share of
the total income shown on the part
nership return. This is because the
partnership is not recognized as a
taxable entity.
The corporation is recognized as a
taxable entity, so it pays a tax on
the amount of its net income, after
deducting the salaries of you and
Bill and other expenses. Then you
of course pay individual income
taxes on your salaries.
If over a period of years the earn
ings of the corporation exceed reas
onable salaries for the two owners,
these earnings will be distributed to
you and Bill in the form of dividends.
The funds with which the dividends
are paid have already been subject
to tax in the hands of the corporation,
but are again taxed on your indi
vidual returns when distributed.
The income tax advantage or dis
advantage of a partnership as com
pared with a corporation depends
on the net income from the business,
the salaries the owners receive, the
amount of their other income and
the requirements of the business for
liquid funds.
In the event either of the owners
is interested in planning his estate
to reduce taxes at the time of his
death, he can probably do it more
easily through a corporation than
a partnership.
