FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 23, 1923 POLITICS ANa_BROOMS_„ Because the hand that rocked who has to scamper for his life, may be on his way around the cor- ner to get his own machine and join the motorists. We are all one and the same in this day of inex- pensive cars, now motorists, now pedestrians. The revenue act of 1921 provides that an income tax return shall be filed by every person, married or single, whose gross income for the year 1922 was $5,000 or more. Broadly speaking, gross income includes all income received by the taxpayer dur- ing the year from salary or wages, or from "business, trade, profession or vocation," dealing in property, or the transaction of any business carried on for profit. Net income, upon which the tax is assessed, is gross income less certain specified deductions for business expenses, losses, bad debts, taxes, contributions, etc. . , Affioruj~the"=mbsf important items in J 4he returns of many taxpayers are the deductions for business expenses. In the case of a storekeeper, they include a reasonable allowance for- salaries the cradle was wont also to wield the broom, this piece of the house- Tiold^pipmehT is placecTby coiii- mon masculine consent in the hands of the woman who interests herself in politics. It is likewise a favorite symbol for the woman orator, be- cause she knows that her feminine audience will appreciate what she means. But every housewife knows that the broom 'is only an auxiliary in cleaning. It may be used quite en- ergetically and nothing good come" of the effort. Without a free circu- lation of air, without the previous cleaning and covering of household furnishings and articles of decora- tion the flying dust arising from the strokes of the broom wiH do far more harm than good. Even germs that had decided to remain quiescent on the flodr and in the remote corners are sent flying on -dust-aeroplanes into thenoses and mouths of those hapless members of the household who chance to be in their way. The clean sweep in politics re- quires also some preliminary pro- visions for the safety of the gen- eral public. It is na. good to be- e'm making the dust fly until there------------„-- -â- . . .

In the first in- stance he paid four times as much money, but he got four times as many potatoes. On similar principles, President Da- vid Kinley says that the cost of edu- cation at the University of Illinois has not gone up. It's because more young men and women are getting an educa tion. its Its •Jill |.|gggvr mm wit It^ fSfi J*"®*©.-?". - *#Ii w&) paid employees, amounts spent for advertising, premiums of insurance against fire or other business -losses, the cost of water, light, heat and fuel used in his place of business, drayage and freight bills. A professional man, doctor or law- yer, may claim as deductions the cost of supplies used in the practice of his profession, expenses paid in the oper- ation and repair of an automobile used in making professional calls, dues to professional societies* sub- scriptions to professional journals, of- fice rent, and the cost of fuel, light, heat and water used in his office, and the hire of assistants. The farmer may deduct all amounts paid in the production, harvesting and marketing of crops, including labor, cost of seed and fertilizer pur- chased, cost of minor repairs to farm buildings (other than the dwelling, which is personal expense) the cost of small tools used up in the course of a year or two. Rent paid for a farm aJ5o jc an allnwahle deduction.________ Deduction of personal or living ex- penses such as rent paid for a dwell- ing, hire of domestic servants, educa- tion of children, etc., is expressly al- lowed by the revenue act. Says Cost of Education Is Not Really On the Increase If one bought a peck of potatoes for i processes to make the sweeping business effective and beneficial. Bits of political dust must be dis- lodged from the accessories of the political household. Dark corners must be peered into and cleaned be- fore the major portion of the un- desirable matter in the obvious cen- ter of the floor is attacked. Enthusi- astic political housecleaners will do "well to remember the order of the process of the domestic semi-annual upheaval. .Otherwise our eyes will only be clouded by dust and our last estate be worse than our first. |1SLOST FRIENDSHIP II Friendship that appeared genu- ine in its nature was developed dur- ingjthe jsvar- period-between the peo- ples of the Allied nations. Amer- icans felt that they had never real- ized the nobilitv of the French. The British discovereQL_that_-there is much to admire in the American characier^^JJnderlthe surface we were all found to be pretty much alike, actuated by much the same motives^â€"holding much the same ideals, serving much the same gods. li No people has changed in the character of. its people and yet the friendliness of four years__agrx is gone. Each government is suspicious Lot the other. Everybody is selfishly looking to his own financial and I economical advantage, lacking the vision to see that all must prosper lor none0 AH the goo<$ feeling of I the war time has faded away. Eng- land and France are all but at each other's throats. British coal mines supply to Germany the fuel with which to carry on industrially the while France seeks coal by force of *krms in the occupied territory. ill We are rather fond of heaping Supori the head of the motorist all Ithe crimes that are committed by Jreckless drivers, -vVe^te4he-hum- j§WejE>edestta^ fet^ert^^^neilKaffUessness of his fellow man who rides, forgetting that the man at the wheel will pres.- ^cntlyiiaveâ€"parked his car some- ,: Inhere andrheoome one o^^ the^ped- ^L^StfSSfe:;-^*--' **»* v:"':the "':pedestrian, The percentage of increase for edu- cational purposes, says President Kirn ley, is far less than the increased per- centage of enrollment.
