Many Farmers Liable
For Income Tax
Many farmers will be liable for
i'-ling income tax returns and pay-
ment of tax lor the first time this
year. '1 lie term "fanners" includes
livestock raisers, fruit and truck
growers, and operators of plantations
Jinil ranches-
Farmers may maintain their rec-
ord:; and file their returns of income
on cither the cash receipts and dis-
bursements basis or on the accrual
lasis of accounting. A consistent
metliod, must, however, be employ-
ed. If a cash basis is used, Form
1040F, "Schedule of Farm Income
and Expenses," is required to be fill-
ed lit and filed in conjunction with
Form 1 040.
Deductions from gross income j
may be made by farmers as necessary i
. .-.peiiscs, all amounts expended (otii- j
fir than those constituting capital ex- j
penditures) in carrying on the buss-1
r.ess of farming. Deductions for ex-j
penscs include such items as cost ot:
feeding and raising livestock (except j
the value of farm produce grown up- j
(in the farm and the labor of the tax- i
payer); cost of seed, minor repairs j
to farm buildings (other than the j
dwelling of the farmer) ; small tools
used up in the course of a year or
two; lue! and oil used for farn-
vvorlc; repairs and maintenance of
farm machinery; hired laborers and
hired machines, and cost of commer-
cial fertilizers the benefit of which
is of short duration.
The cost of farm machinery, equip
merit and farm buildings; amounts
expended in the development of farms
orchards and ranches, as well as the
amounts expended in the restoration
of soil fertility preparatory to actual
production of crops and the cost of
liming soil to increase productiveness
over a period of years, are capital
expenditures.
Losses incurred in the operation
of farms as business enterprises are
deductible from gross income. If
livestock has been purchased for rn •
purpose and afterwards dies from
disease, exposure or injury, or is
killed by order of the authorities of
a state, or the United States, the ac-
tual purchase price of such livestock,
less any depreciation allowable as a
deduction in respect of such perished
livestock, may be deducted as a loss
if the loss is not compensated for by
insurance or otherwise.
If gross income is ascertained by
/ want...

dence to designate the Local Board

er, that ho transient address may be

Regulations pohibit any interference

"It is the intent of the law and
the purpse of Selective Service Reg-
ulations," General Page pointed out,
"that each man be registeed at his
home address and be subject to call
to fill quotas from that local board;
That is a basic principle of demo-
catic procedure and 1 expect every
Selective Service Registrar in the
State of Texas to adhere strictly to
it."

the registrant to list his place of res-

will have space for recording a mail
address. This may be the same as the
place of residence or it may be anoth-
er address where the registrant Will
receive his mail more readily.

Loaded Truck Does 6-Mile Slide
Down Ice-Covered Canyon Road
|^NE life, a $12,000 truck and
27,000 pounds of valuable
freight hung in the balance when
L. S. Vandiver, young driver for
an express company, found him-
self trying to steer a runaway trac-
tor in pitehdarkness down an ice-
coated road outside Laramie. Wyo.
Rbad conditions were already
bad when Vandiver drove out of
Cheyenne bound for Laramie, on
Lincoln Highway U. S. No. 30.
Nearing Telephone Canyon he
slowed up, but within a few min-
utes after he had begun the long
winding descent he was in trouble.
The road was practically sheer ice.
The young driver had his hands
full merely to keep the giant trac-
tor and its 28-foot trailer on the
road.
Then, in an instant, road, moun-
tainside and all disappeared. A
fuse had blown and Vandiver was
behind the wheel in complete
darkness. With an effort he kept
his foot off the brakes—to use
them would put the big trailer
into a skid, dragging the tractor
off the road with it. Gripping the
wheel he grabbed for his flash-
light.
The beam shot out on the road-
way in time to guide him round
the next curve, and the next. Van-
diver was able to case the speed
a little by careful pressures on the
brake. But he could do nothing
to bring the big Diesel motor and
its load to a stop. The heavy trail-
er with its thirteen and a half ton
cargo drove him on down the
mountainside.
"On one side were boulders and
cliffs," Vandiver says. "On the
other was a steep drop to the bot-
tom of the canyon. If that flash-
light held out, perhaps I could
keep going. If it failed—even for a
few seconds—1 was done for.
"But 1 had loaded the light the
day before with fresh batteries,
L. S. Vandiver
and they sure performed. They
gave not only a steady beam but
such a bright one that after a few
minutes 1 found rny new kind of
'headlight' almost as good as the
real thing. I found, too, that I could
keep both hands on the wheel and
still work the light. And that's the
way I went down the whole six
miles until I came out of the can-
yon on to level country. It was a
close call—I don't want any Closer
or.e."
Arriving at the bottom of the
mountain Vandiver replaced the
blown fuse and continued his trip.
He lives at Laramie and has a reg-
ular run between Denver, Colo.,
and points in Wyoming.
