IMPLICATIONS OF INCOME TAX ART TOLD B¥ EXPERT Public Accountant Explains Features That Puzzle Taxpayers. By GODFREY D. YAEGER The subject of Federal taxation is rather broad and It Is only with difficulty that one can discuss any part thereof briefly. Those of us who were optimistic enough to hope that the new 1524 revenue act would simplify and cure some of the difficulties, we have had in interpreting and applying the principals of the former revenue nets, were sadly disappointed, since the new law is more complicated than any one that was ever enacted previously, and we may well make up our winds that complicated and burdensome tax laws will be on our statute books as long as we have to raise large amounts of money by taxation in order to liquidate our indebtedness and defray expenses of running the Government. Under the revenue act of 1224 the word "Income" acquires a distinct and separate character in as much as the act divides income into “Earned Income” and “Unearned Income.” which will operate in form of a reduction of tax on a limited amount of earned income only by a credit to the taxpayer. (’overs Salaries The term “Earned Income" as defined covers wages, salaries, professional fees and such amounts as are received as compensation for personal and professional services, not including, however, any compensation which the taxpayer received for personal services rendered by him to a corporation which represents a distribution o framings or j profits rather than a reasonable allowance as compensation f-r personal services actually rendered. The department lt.sr-If do- - not lay down any general rule defining the trade or business In which personal services and capital are material in come producing factors The department. under regulation No. 65, article No. 1662, says this: “In the case of a taxpayer engaged in a trade or business. In which both personal services and capita! are material Income producing factors, a reasonable allowance In compensation, for the personal services actually rendered by the taxpayer, shall be considered as earned Income, but the total amount, which shall be treated as the earned Income of the taxpayer, from which a trade or business shall. In no case, exceed 20 per cent of ids share of the net profits of such trade or business.” Deductions Explained Earned Income deductions mean deduction? which are allow ibio to nr chargeable against earned income, ■and which are allowed bv section No

The term "Earned Net Income” means the excess of the amount of the earned income over the sum of the earned income deductions In no case will the earned net income be considered to be more than $lO,000.000 and if the taxpayer's net income is not more than $5,000, his entire income shall be considered to be earned n f -t income, and if his net income is more than $5,000, his earned net income shall not bo considered to be less than $5,000. Every individual, in addition thereto, is allowed a credit of 25 per cent <>f the amount of tax due, which would be payable if his earned net : income constituted his entire net income, but in no case may this credit exceed 25 per cent of his normal tax. Every taxpayers having an income subject to normal t.ax is affected by this section, as the law specifically provides that earned income shall not be considered to be leas than $5,000.

of healthy expansion and prosperity. The railroads are prepared to dc their part. Never before have greater facilities for transportation been at the service of shippers. For years these facilities’' have been In process of growth and improvement and, speaking generally, the railroads are now In a high state of efficiency. This process of development must be a coritinuing one. There is no reason why it should not keep abreast of t’ne requirements of commerce if unsound economic theories are avoided in dealing with railroads. The successful operation of railroads is dependent on the application to them of much the same principles as those that govern in the case of other classes of busi- „ ness. They must render good service for reasonable charges. Strong, prosperous and wellmanaged railroads are a great national asset. Starve the railroads and you starve business.
