CORPORATION INCOME TAX FORMS READY Collector Thurman Explains Provisions of Law in Statement. Income tax forms 1520 for reporting net Income for corporations for the year 1921 are now available for distribution, according to M. Bert Thurman, collector of Internal revenue. In explaining the tax on corporations Mr. Thurman said: “The Federal tax on Income of corporations is divided into two parts, income tax and excess profits tax. The income tax on corporations for 1921 Is at the rate of 10 per cent of the net Income subject to tax. For 1922 and subsequent years, as provided by the revenue act of 1921, the Income tax la 12% per cent. “In ascertaining net Income subject to the Income (normal) tax, the corporation is allowed certain specific credits, which include (1) the amount of war and excess profits tax imposed by the United States for the same taxable year, and (2) interest received upon obligations of the United States and bonds of the war. finance corporation which has been Included In gross Income. A specific credit of $2,000 is also allowed corporations whose net Income for 1921 was $25 000 or less. Under the revenue act of 1918, this exemption was allowed all corporations regardless of the amount of net income. The act provides that if the net Income is more than $25,000, the normal tax shall not exceed the tax which would be payable If the $2,000 credit was allowed, plus the amount of the net Income In excess of $25,000. “The excess profits tax Is computed on the basis of the relation of net Income to the Invested capital of the corporation. as defined by Section 320 of the revenue act of 1921, This tax Is in addition to the normal tax of 10 per cent. It is based on the net Income above a specific exemption of $3,000 and 8 per cent of the Invested capital for the taxable year, these amounts being known as excess profits credits. The rates are the same as for 1920, 20 per east of the net income in excess of the excess profits credits and not in excess ot 20 per cent of the invested capital of the taxable year (known as first bracket) and 40 per cent of the net income in excess of 20 per cent of the Invested capital (second bracket). Invested capital for the taxable year is the capital actually paid In for stock outstanding, including the paid-in surplus and earned surplus or profits earned prior to the taxable year, which have not been distributed. The term “invested capital” does not include borrowed capital. “Invested capital embraces two classes of assets: those known as “admissible” assets and those known as “inadmissible” assets. Admissible assets are those which produce Income subject to tax. Inadmissible assets are those (other than obligations of the United States) which produce income that is exempt from income tax. For example, cash, real estate, bills receivable and other tangible assets, which produce Income subject to the income tax are admissible assets. Assets such as stocks and State or municipal bonds which produce income that is exempt from income tax are inadmissible assets. “The revenue act of 1921 requires all corporations having inadmissible assets must deduct from invested capital ‘a percentage thereof equal to tbe percentage which the amount of inadmissible assets is of the total amount of admissible and on admissible assets held during the taxable year.' For example, the total assest of a corporation for 1921 was $200,000. of whiclj. $150,000 was In inadmissible assets and $50,000 in admlssable assets. The average invested capital was SBO,OOO. Applying the above rule, the invested capital must be reduced by 75 per cent (the percentage of the inadmissible assets, $150,000, to the total assets, $200,000). The reduced invested capital, therefore, will be SBO,OOO (the invested capital) less SOO,OOO (75 per cent of the invested capital) or $20,000. Where a corporation's income is reported on a cash receipts and disbursements basis, accrued items cannot be taken into consideration in computing its invested capital. “The payment of a stock dividend has no effect upon the amount of Invested capital. The capitalization of current earnings does not increase the invested capital. Appreciation in good will and tangible property determinded by an appraisal against which a stock dividend was issued cannot be allowed as invested capital. The value of tangible property paid in for stock or shares in an amount as limited by Section 326 of the revenue act of 1921 may be included In invested capital. “The revenue act of 1921 provides every corporation, Joint stock company, association and Insurance company not specifically exempt shall file a return. There shall be Included in the return a statement which will enable the commissioner to determine the portion of the earnings or profits (taxable or nontaxable) accumulated during the year for which the return is made, which have been distributed or ordered to be distributed to Its stockholedrs during such year. “Anew and important provision of the revenue act of 1921 is that where a corporation is formed or availed of to prevent the Imposition of a surtax upon its stockholedrs, by permitting Its profits to accumulate instead of being distributed as dividends, It may be subject to a tax of 25 per cent In addition to the normal tax of 10 per cent imposed on corporations. The stockholders, however, agree with the commissioner the profits of the corporation shall be charged to them In the same manner as the distributive share of the partners. *nd pay the tax as partners. When tbe l&rporation Is a mere holding company or Its profits accumulate beyond the normal needs of its business, this shall be prima facie evidence of a purpose to escape the surtax. A reasonable accumulation of surplus, however, is permitted. “Returns must be filed with the collector of internal revenue for the district in which the corporations’ principal place of business Is located. Corporations must file their returns on the basis of their existing accounting period is established as the twelve-month period ending Dec. 31, or upon the last day of some month other than December. A corporation cannot change its accounting period without the permission of the commissioner.”

Employes Asked to Supply P. Q. Slogans Postoffioe employes are asked to suggest slogans to be placed on letters sent out by the local postoffice in a bulletin issued by Robert H. Bryson, postmaster, today. “It is our intention to give tbe postoffice and the postal service as much publicity as we can," Postmaster Bryson said, “and I believe that employes of the office, who are in close touch with the details of the postal business, can give ES some valuable slogan suggestions.” The bulletin is as follows: "For the purpose of advertising ana selling the postal service to tbe public, It Is the intention to place a slogan, either printed or written, at the bottom Cf each letter sent out by this office. “These slogans may pertain to any branch of the postal service—mail early, parcel post, C. O. D. service, Treasury savings certificates, postal savings, jnoney order, registration, etc. “Postoffice employes are requested to submit slogans or suggestions that occur to them as suitable for this purpose. The sentence comprising the slogan must consist of only one line of not more than Sixteen words. Make it snappy.’*

Wall Street Plot to Get Movie Control Suspected - Observers Believe Film World, Scandals Part of Insidious Propaganda.

(B THOMPSON BUCHANAN. Playwright, Author of “A Woman’s Way,” “Civilian Clothes” and Others. (Copyright. 1925, by United Press.) LOS ANGELES, Cal., Feb. 21.—“1s Wall street trying to steal the film industry ? “Is the mysterious murder of William Desmond Taylor, motion picture director, shot to death la Los Angeles, tbe incident that is to bring into the open the battle of big business for control of the world's fifth greatest industry?” These questions are being asked on all sides, especially in view of the apparently spontaneous, concerted attack on the Industry, the skillfully managed flood of malicious vituperation which is now sweeping the country from end to end. People who hold this belief point to the fact Henry Ford and the movie are not controlled by Wall Street and that the money Interests have been after both. It wasn't until the last two years that Wall Street began seriously to take a vital interest in the motion picture industry. The making of pictures involves an enormous outlay of money and naturally, as In all other big Industries where credit enters largely Into financing, Wall Street, it is said, was prompt to seize upon the necessities xf the producers. Only a few months ago in every department of one of the nig companies representatives of "big ousiness” were, it is said, "set to learn tiie business.” It Is said they boasted openly they were about to take over tne whole Industry. Then came a terrific fight and men whose courage, whose foresight, whose brains created the business won the victory and regained control of It. All the Wall Street men planted in various departments packed their little bags and went on their way. Every other company has not been so fortunate. Several of the largest producers have gone down In a battle which Is said to have been precipitated by money Interests. The greatest producer of them all whose came can be guessed easily, apparently Bays: “What's the use? I’m working for bankers now.” One of his friends is authority for the statement “no matter how much wealth his genius may create, he himself never will be benefited in proportion to his efforts It Is being pointed out it was In the

heart of a campaign for “control” censorship agitation began. This censorship, it is said, was a plan to ruin the industry and then buy in the wreck. There was no real demand for censorship, but the report says It was simple for “big business’s” to hire a few professional reformers who made noise out of all ratio to their numbers and who created fictitious, but what seemed real, demand. When the chief of these reformers was placed on the stand and was asked the source of the money that financed the censorship campaign—that Is to say, the effort to ruin the motion picture industry, he refused to answer. It Is said one of the real reasons for Wall Street’s desire to control the motion picture industry was It recognized in the industry the most potent force, next to the newspapers, and Wall Street desired to control popular opinion, to make sure nothing antagonistic to its interest was uttered to he people. The next step seemed to b* so to blacken the names of the people engaged in motion picture production, so as to create demand on the part of the public these people be changed. What references, insiders and well-voiced outsiders now are asking, has this attack on the character of people prominent in the picture business, to the desire to put in the representatives of “big business" who has Just been driven out in confusion? DEFEND CHARACTER OF FILM LEAVERS. People of Los Angeles, bankers, business men, newspaper owners, those engaged in mercantile and industrial pursuits, who are intimately connected with tbe personnel and habits of those engaged In motion picture production and distribution In Hollywood, have been and are first to defend the habits of their neighbors and to denounce as an outrage this campaign of slander. Los Angeles and Hollywood Chambers ojf Commerce officially hare condemned various persons who always are announcing attacks and have upheld the Integrity and good name of the picture folk. The very clergymen who once demanded censorship, now are first to defend the attitude of the motion picture business, it is asserted. There have been dope parties and debaucheries In Hollywood, but they were staged by certain persons who are knowu and who will be prosecuted.

Some union officials frankly admit they “don't think much” of the prospects of a successful defensive alliance with the railroaders who, in effect, have been invited to join the miners in a tie-up of coat mining and transportation April 1 in event the mine workers are unsuccessful In effecting anew contract with the operators. The path to peace in the coni industry, they admit, is anything but paved with roses. With powerful groups of bitumtnous coal operators already lined up for the enforcement of pay slashes, Indications are they may have the aid of the Indiana operators, who heretofore had been counted upon to meet the miners half way. While W. L. Gould, president of the Indiana Operators’ Association, declined to discuss the outlook, Terre Haute dispatches quoted i’hil Penna, secretary of the association, as saying the Indiana operators would not entertain the conference invitation. Miners' headquarters was preparing to send out the invitation and shortly will issue ballots to be used in the referendum of the half-million union miners on the question of striking April 1 to enforce their demands, as recommended by the convention Just closed here.

D. McKinney, secretary of the (Southern Ohio Coal Exchange. McKinney, however, said the reply of the organization would not be made until after a conference with other members to be held here soon. Lee Unll, chairman of the miners’ wage scale committee, expressed the opinion operators would attend the conference. He said the meetings would have no legislative value other than to decide whether a subsequent session would be held to formally consider wage and working matters.

TODAY'S BEAUTY HINT

It is tiot neceaocry to shampoo yonr hair so frequently If it is entirely and properly cleansed each time ly the nse of a really good shampoo. The easiest to nse and quickest drying shampoo that we can recommend to our reader* Is one that brings out all tbe natural beauty of the hnlr and may be enjoyed at very little expense, by dissolving a teaspoonful of canthrox, which can be obtained from any druggist, in a cup of hot water. This makes a full cup of shampoo liquid, enough so tt is easy to apply it to all tho hair instead of just to the top of the head. This, when rubbed into the scalp and onto every strand of hair, chemically dissolves all Impurities. It Is very soothing nud cooling lu Us action, as well ns beneficial to both Bcalp and hair. After rinsing out the lather so created, you will find the scalp is fresh, clean and free from dandruff, while tho hair dries quickly and evently developing a bright lustre nnd a soft fluffinegs that makes it seem very heavy,—-Advertisement. NATURE LOVES BRIGHT COLORS We see tho truth of this statement in the varicolored flowers, the vivid sunsets, the birds of brilliant plumage.

Why, In the rosy cheeks, tho transparent skin, the smooth red lips of such a woman. And she molds it in firm flesh and rounded contours. The ailing woman is deficient in natural coloring, and she does not even appear to advantage In clothes that would set off her more attractive sister.
