However, if exclusively for business, all expense of operation, plus depreciation, can be deducted. In either case, it is permissible to deduct sums paid for registration fees, taxes, etc. While the gasoline a of one cent a gallon cannot be deducted by the consumer, credit may be obtained for state gasoline taxes if the state law levies this tax on case of corporations filing consoti- the consumer and not on the dealer. dated returns.

Here is what, a return to these wartime taxes would mean, as compared to this year and last year, in the case of a married mail with no dependents. Net income, year, nothing; this year nothing; war-time rate, $30.

Net income, year, nothing; this year, $20; war-tune rate, $60. Net income, $5,000 Last year, $22.50 this year, $100; war-lime rate, $180. In the above--for the sake of comparison--the "last year" figures do not take into account the 25 per cent tax reduction, allowed on "earned income" in that year. No such credit was allowed in 1918 and none is allowed in the new law. Little Fellow Increased Most Taxes on big incomes would be raised by a return to the war time rates, but not anywhere near as much as the increase on smaller incomes.

For example, the man who paid taxes of last year and is paying $30,100 this year would pay under the war-time rate $35,030. The million-dollar-a-year man who paid $240,000 last year and is paving $571,000 this year, would pay under the war-time scale $703,030. These i however, are getting fewer. In 1931 there were only 75 of them. In 1930, there were 150 and in 1929 there were 513.

Income they represented dropped from $1,212,098,000 in 1929 to 997 000 in 1931; taxes collected on them dropped from $191,054.000 in 1929 to $26,292,000 1931. A return to $2,000 exempions for married man--instead of the $2,500 allowed now and the $3,500 allowed last year--would mean great numbers drawn into the tax-paying army. The rate of the movement for a return to the war-time rates at the special session of congress will probably depend on what the 1932 increases bring in, says Lovell H. Parker, chief of-staff of congress' joint committee on internal revenue taxation. Parker's staff advises both houses of congress on al' revenue matters.

"Surtax rates under the new law are already as high as 55 per cent as compared with a a i of 65 per cent in 1918," says Mr. Parker. "That means that if more money is to be raised by income tax it will have to be raised from a lot of small taxpayers, rather than from a few large taxpayers." According to Parker, there are only big fields now for a revenue increase on a major scale. One is tho proposed increase in income taxes and the other is the proposed sales tax, which the treasury has estimated would yield $350,000,000. But i can.

be done about higher income taxes until the session of congress convenes a the Roosevelt inauguration. (The End.)
