GROSS, STET INCOME Two of the terms used in the income tax law, namely, "gross income" and "net income," should be noted particularly as they are vitally important to the whole subject of the income tax. Gross income includes all income from any source whatever unless specifically exempt from tax by law, or unless it is nothing more than a return of capital.

The gross income of a. busi- publican negs ufitta consists of the gross ers in the Idaho proflt £rQm sales (total rece ipts of 'Spy Ring 7 less cost of goods sold) plus any income from investments and incidental or outside operations of sources. The return must show the gross sales, purchases and 'cost of goods sold. To reflect income correctly, inventories necessary at the beginning and end of each taiable year. A lawyer, doctor, architect, dentist, author, or other profes- isional man must include in gross i income ail fees, salaries and -n -f pensation of any kind for profes- TIT PmnP'sional services.

Professional men III JT 1UUC al und a kers "will find it moist satisfactory to report their incomes on the basis of cash receipts and disbursements. Net income upon which the tax is assessed and computed is gross income less the deductions allowed by law, such as business and professional expenses, salaries, pensions, bonuses to em- ployes, taxes, losses, interest paid, bad debts (if reporting on an accrual basis), depreciation, depletion, contributions, etc. Failure to understand deductions against income and credits against net income results in numerous errors on the part tax- payerSi Personal exemption and credit for dependents are not deductible from either gross income or net income, but from the tax when computed. While an amazing story of a spy ring believed to have stolen U. S.

navy secrets and sold them to foreign countries was being investigated by the federal grand Jury in Los Angeles, Henry T. Thompson. 27, above, former U. S. sailor, was held on charges of illegal wearing of a navy uniform.

A "cultured Oriental," said to be paymaster of the "ricg," and believed fleeing the country, is sought for Questioning. Administrator Harold L. Ickes reported to the senate Monday that states, counties and municipalities have applications pending for more than to build almost 7,000 projects but the PWA is without funds to finance them.

These included in Ames: Iowa State college veterinary clinic building $180,000, and high school building $500,000.

Jfurland Backstage in Iowa Politics l)y GEORGE M1LL8 Tura East As political campaigns begin to warm up, the eyes of all democratic candidates for statewide nominations turning eastern Iowa, traditional maker and breaker of hopes In democratic primaries. Twice last week was this illustrated. Nels Kraschel, lieutenant governor of Iowa, went on a trip thru some of the river counties. And he doesn't even have any opposition thus far in his quest for the democratic nomination for governor. Another candidate, thru a statement made In his present official capacity, Incurred the wrath of a strong group in an eastern Iowa county.

He was visited by a protesting delegation. A few days later, by way of mollification, an Individual from that county was appointed head of one of the state institutions. New Faces "New faces" will rule young republicans of Iowa shortly, it is whispered in party circles here. District sessions and a state meeting will witness an entire replacement of leadership, according to reports. At least some of the kingpins are said to approve the idea.

If this procedure works out, the kings of yesterday will have completed a journey from the top of the national young republican organization all the way back to the rank and file. Three months ago or so, the Iowa faction, dominant in the national picture until that time, lost control of the organization in a convention held here. Help! Help! If you are a candidate and If you have a request in with the state comptroller's office for receipts, expenditures and other data on certain state offices, don't become impatient if your query hasn't been answered. The office is 'way behind now in filling its political ammunition orders. If the figures which finally are furnished are used in, the coming general-election campaigns to any degree at all, the hottest battles in state political history are in the offing, comptroller's officials say.

Main reason for the "impossible" response: Wenig would have to give up his years of seniority as a railroad engineer if he landed the job. Flood Race Not all the racing in the Iowa flood situation is that of rushing waters in the choked rivers. There also is plenty of competition on dry land, too, among those variously interested in aiding flood victims at this time of this election year.

In fact, the question is, not how much water do you have in your cellar but where do you want to report your flood? Several days ago, at the governor's request, engineers met and mapped out a campaign of preparedness should the floods get out of hand. Two days later the WPA, CCC and others met and mapped out a campaign of preparedness should the floods get out of hand. Be it said, however, that meritorious aid was provided when overflowing waters drove families from their homes southwest Iowa. Nelson Puzzle Just exactly where State Senator Fred Nelson will end up in the republican picture is puzzling plenty of sixth district observers. The senator had been expected to enter the lists for the secretary of agriculture nomination.

Now come reports of Story county groups approaching other so-called "outside" counties concerning Nelson's possible candidacy or congress in the sixth. "Outside" counties are those areas in the sixth district outside of Polk county. Dwight Lewis, mayor of Des Moines, and Frank Hallagan. also of Des Moines, are the sixth district candidates thus far for the republican nomination for congress. 920,000 Cash Reports a few days ago told of the liquor commission paying another $50,000 into the state general fund to help meet Iowa's governmental expenses.

Actually, all the commission really put on the barrelhead was $29.000. The other $21,000 was deducted for losses suffered when the Waterloo liquor store was destroyed by fire. The commission was refused the right to carry fire insurance by the last legislature. Thus, when the loss was Incurred, claim for $21,000 was filed with the state under the law requiring the executive council to pay such losses. And that's how it happened that the $50,000 ante was knocked down to $29,000.
