HOW TO TAKE YOUR INVENTORY FOR TAX REPORT The following statement is issued by M. Bert Thurman. Collector of International Revenue, District of Jndl- 1 anu. Merchants, manufacturers and bus!-! ness men generally need experience no difficulty in taking their inventories for the year, 1921, to conform with the new revenue act. The langu-1 age of the Revenue Act of 1918 and the Revenue Act of 1921, (Sec. 203), relating to inventories are identical: That whenever In the opinion of the collector the use of inventories is necessary in order clearly to determine the income of any taxpayer upon such basis as the Commissioner, with the approval of the Secretary may prescribe as conforming as nearly as may be to the best accounting practice In the trade or business and as most clearly reflecting the income. Present Treasury regulations provide that inventories must be valued at either "cost" or “cost or market, whichever is lower.” Taxpayers were permitted, regardless of their past practice, to adopt the “cost or market basis, whichever is lower” in making their inventories for 1920. Thereafter, the regulations provide, changes an be made only after permission is obtained from the Commissioner of Internal Revenue. In the case of a merchant ‘cost’ nieans the invoice price loss trade or 1 other discounts, excepting strictly ; cash discounts approximately a fair rate of interest, which may be deducted or not at the option of the taxpayer | providing a consistent course is followed. To the net invoice price should be added the cost of transportation and other necessary charges incurred in acquiring possession of the goods. In case of a manufacturer ‘cost’ means the cost of raw materials and supplies, expenditures for labor and indirect cost incident to production, including a reasonable proportion of management expenses, but not including any cost of selling or securing return on capital. ‘Market’ means the current bid price prevailing at the date of the inventory for the particular merchandise. The burden of proof as to the correctness of the price rests upon the taxpayer in each case. Where no open market quotations are available, the taxpayer must use such evidence of a fair market price at the rates nearest the inventory as may be available, such as specific transactions or compensation paid for cancellation of contracts or purchase commitments. Where, because of abnormal conditions the taxpayer has regularly sold merchandise at prices lower than the market bid price, the inventory may be valued at such price. The correctness of such prices will be determined by reference to the actual sales es the taxpayer for a reasonable period before and after I the date of inventory. Prices which vary materially from the actual prices ascertained will not be accepted as reflecting the market. The value of each item in the inventory may be measured by cost or market, whichever is lower. An entire stock may not be inventoried at cost and also at market price, and the lower of the two inventories used. Inventories on whatever basis taken will be subject to investigation by the Commissioner of Internal Revenue and the ■ correctness of the price adopted. He 1 1 must be prepared to show both the . cost and the market price of each article included in the inventory. In the conduct of modern business, it is of utmost importance that every business, large or small, whether corporation, partnership or individual, shall maintain an exact record of receipts and expenses. No special sys-! tern of accounts as prescribed by the Bureau of Internal Revenue, but the 1 j books should show in detail inventories purchases, capital investments, depreciation and similar items required in making up income tax returns. HARD LUCK FOR GEORGE. London, Dec. 20.—Prince George, fourth son of King George, attained his 19th birthday today. The young prince j who is a Midshipman in the Royal I Navy is destined for a naval career. I Unlike his elder brothers, the Prince | of Wales and Duke of York, who had too many calls upon their time to stick to soldiering or sailoring exclusively, young George spent the full term at the naval colege and full seagoing term as cadet and midshipman. He will have to work his way up like other young naval officers and has little chance of the rapid jumps granted to his brothers. - — CUT THIS OUT—IT IS WORTH MONEY Cut out this slip, enclose with 5c and mail it to Foley & Co., 2835 Sheffield Avenue, Chicago, 111., writting your name and address clearly.

Rickards, chief of the militia bureau of the War department. • • • The growth of the American Legion is shown by the organization of 1,050 new posts In 1920-21.

( The original post of the American Legion, George Washington Post No. : 1. lost no time in signing Marshal j Foch as a member. The generalissimo was met at the station at Washington, D.

When his special train was stopped at Washington, Mo., j on its way to Kansas City, he was presented with a box of the Missouri product. Later, while he was attending the American Legion convention, he was offered a cigar, but he declined in favor of the corn-cob “furnace.” • » • More than 30,900 bodies of Americans who died in France during the World war will rest forever in the ' sacred soil near the battlefields, Sec- I retary of War Weeks declared In a recent letter to the American Legion , :at Washington.

Kearny in a widely published magazine article, "you will come to a building which houses the American Legion post of I the town.
