THE BEE: OMAHA. TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 12. 1918. INCOME TAX LAW WILL ALLOW FOR FINANCIAL LOSS George L Loomis, Omaha Rev enue Collector, Explains Legal Regulations for Readers of The Bee. Taken literally, the income tax law vpcars to work an injustice in certain usiness conditions, usually involving i-ncerns which have operated at i ioss. But in some cases allowance will be uide. George L. Loomis, Omaha, 'Hector of internal revenue of the ' 1'iiaha district, gives today for ue Omaha district gives for read ers of The Bee a few cases in nicnt of the firm's affairs will be made so as to work no injustice on the partners. Mr. Loomis' answers to income tax questions are as follows: Q. A co-partnership which comes under the classification of section 209, with nominal or no capital, has made a very large profit which, is with drawn during the year at irregular intervals without denoting whether the same is salary, or drawings, or profits. In other words, when the cash is received it is withdrawn except for a small amount, enough for current expenses. Can these drawings be treated as salaries? If not, what would constitute reasonable salary, and would not co-partnership be placed in the position of paying an S per cent tax twice: first on the total business receipts and second on the amounts each individual drew in each instance over the statutory ex emption of $6,000. A. Yes. A reasonable salary. Q. A partnership shows a loss for the year 1917, exclusive of the partners' salaries. Can the partners deduct their business losses from their in dividual reports on the theory that they had no income as they really drew on their capital? A. Yes. Q. If a widow's income is derived from stock dividends taxed at the source, must she file a schedule of them? And is said income subject to an additional tax? If to what is the amount of the tax? ' A. If dividends amount to $1,000 or more a report must be filed. If more than $5,000, they are subject to surtax according to income. Q. An American citizen has been bequeathed some property and stock in a neutral country. The income de rived from this has not been brought over to this country but placed to his credit over there. Is this to be in cluded in the income statement and is it taxable here? A. Yes. Q. Can a sole proprietor of a business who has regularly closed his books at other times than the expira tion of the calendar year, establish a fiscal year, and be classed the same as a corporation or partnership which has fixed it's own fiscal year? A. No. Cannot Deduct Payments. Q. An individual whose sole in come is from salary as an officer of a corporation has legally assumed obligations of another person in mat ters foreign to his business. Can he deduct the payments of principal and interest on these obligations from his income? A. No. Q. A corporation on July 1, 1917, declared a dividend and in that dec laration specifically stated that it would be paid out of earnings or profits which had accumulated and were on hand prior to March 1, 1913. Is this dividend to be returned for income tax purposes? A. No. Section 31 (b), act of Sep tember 8, 1916, as amended, provides that none of its provisions shall ap ply to any distribution made prior to August 6, 1917, out of earnings or profits accrued prior to March 1, 1913. Q. Are dividends on paid up life insurance policies subject to income tax? A. Dividends on paid up life in surance policies are subject to the additional tax for the year in which received. Q. "A," who is an employe of a corporation, was injured and under the laws of the state in which the ac cident occurred he received $5,500 on account of the injury he suffered. Must the amount thus received be re ported as income? A. Yes. Any amount received under an employers' liability act or workman's compensation act, or any other similar act, or as the result of a settlement or compromise for "pain and suffering," is held to be such in come as is subject to the federal in come tax. This ruling is also ap plicable to any amount received under the terms of an accident insurance policy.

OF CORN says QoSfy yosi Toasties Catholics Given More Freedom In Eating During Coming Lent Ash Wednesday, February 13, will mark the beginning of the lenten sea son this year. Lenten regulations, read from the pulpits of the Omaha churches Sunday, contain several dis pensations to working people not heretofore allowed. This particularly applies to the uie of meat. In regulating the fast days, cog nizance of the government regula tions regarding meat, and the gen eral scarcity of food have caused the papal see to be much more lenient in this regard than in former years. The spirit of the church in the be ginning of this season of penance is described in the Sunday Visitor, of ficial Catholic organ, as follows. "Re AT THE "The Thirteenth Chair" at the Boyd. "The Thirteenth Chair." a drama In three acts, by Bayard Veiller; under direction of William Harris. Jr. The cast: Helen O'Xelll Kathleen Comegya Will Crosby Bruce Elmure Mrs. Crosby Louisa Brownell Koscoe Crosby John T. Pwyer Edward Wales Sidney Iudley Mary Kasiwood Maria Spears Holen Trent Beatrice James (irace Standlah Beatrice MacMullin Bntddish Trent John Ielson Howard Standish H. R. Irvlnit Philip Mason Jerome Kenner Elizabeth Ersklne Marlon Little Pollock Ahner Symmons Rosalie La Grunge Katherlne Clrey Tim l'onohue Brinslny Shaw Sergoent Dunn Edwin K. Vlckery Uoolan John Richmond It was a real pleasure to watch again last night the combat between Rosalie LaGrange, the mediumistic faker, and Tim Donahue, the cynical, materialistic police inspector, whose ability as an expert criminologist led him so far astray in his quest for a murderer. As tjie mother fighting lor her daughter, hrst to avoid being a hindrance to her in life; then, to save her from an accusation of mur der. Miss Grey shows a convincing characterization. She employs no tricks or mannerisms, but relies solely on her art and fairly sets the role above the plane of melodrama on which it is written. Mr. Shaw ac complishes quite as much for the role of the policeman, although at time his work borders just a little on the obvious. This is a difficulty in the construction of the play, rather than fault in the actor. Mr. Veiller, in his deep desire to accomplish a mys tery, finds it necessary to direct at tention first to one and then another of his characters, shielding the really guilty one in order to preserve the surprise. In following out this de sign of the author, the police inspector now and there is forced to do some things he might not, were he left to the guidance of his own experience. Giving excellent support to the lead ers is the same capable company that presented the piece at the Boyd last fall. The work of the company is a source of real delight to any who takes the theater seriously. The play is of interest aside from its mystery feature in showing how well bred and highly cultivated people may be caught up in a crime, and their care fully ordered lives be for a little while shaken sadly out of gear. In sparing his auditors the infliction of a lot of thieves' argot and "tough talk," with out in any way detracting from the fascination of a murder mystery, Mr. Veiller has done a genuine service. Vaudeville at the Orpheum. There is nothing startling about this week's bill at the Orpheum; it's just solidly and wholesomely good with five of the seven acts ranking on a par in merit and appeal. Dunbar's "Tennessee ten" and Williams and Wolfus share the head line honors. The ten from lennessee are negro singers and dancers, who sing old plantation melodies, caper through the buck and wing and then insert a modern touch with a jazz band windup. One U. S. Thompson, alias the Slow Kid, leads the band and for U. S. let it be said his con tortions almost incite a riot. Will iams and Wolfus have been seen many times in Omaha and their sketch is the same even to the $3 spotlight laugh, but the antics of Herbert Williams are so ridiculous, it almost seems like a brand new act. "Exemption" is a one-act war playlet unusual in that it does not depend entirely upon its appeal to patriotism. It is really a clever as well as timely satire and the acting of Ralph Cummings makes it es pecially good. Golet, Harris and Morey sing and play the piano, mandolin, banjo, base violo, guitar and ukelclc. This, on the program, sounds like ;he ordinary rathskellar trio, but Golet, Harris and Morey make their musical melange one of the best acts on the bill. Harry Van Fossen, manufac tures mirth in liberal quantities with his rapid-fire, blackface patter. Capes and Snow are singers and dancers and Miss Robbi Gordone poses in 12 character studies. Orpheum travel pictures show views Loui: havland Marries Don Marcellus of Lincoln Miss Louise Schavland of Lincoln was married Sunday afternoon to Don Marcellus. The couple left im mediately for Omaha where they are staying at the Blackstone. They will leave Monday for Kansas City. Mr. Marcellus is a member of the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity at the University of Nebraska. Mrs. Mar cellus is an Alpha Xi Delta sorority girl. Members of both Alpha Tau Omega and Alpha Xi Delta were present at the ceremony Business Heeds Efficiency There are numerous efficient and capable men that would be very willing to better their posi tions.

Bldg., member, man, thou art but dust, and unto dust thou shalt return, ((.ieii. 111,19.) An anomoly "impossible of comprehension is the heedlessness of people to their own certain, forth coming, dreaded death. They attend the obsequies of their friends, read of unexpected deaths every day in the newspapers, and though they arc taught of the consequence through out eternity of unprcparedness at death, they deliberately keep the thought of their own death from their minds 'Memento mori,' remember you must die, and that every tick nf the clock brings the grim reaper closer to you. It will be sooner or later, soon at the latest." THEATERS of Normandy and making toys in Faris. Vaudeville at the Brandeis. "Something every woman should see," was a comment hear yesterday during the presentation of the New York Fashion Show, offered by J. L. lirandeis & Sons in connection with Hippodrome vaudeville at the Rrandeis theater. Living models appear in advance spring and sum mer styles of suits and frocks. Among the sartorial features are: black satin coat with embroidered georgette, English riding habit, sport tennis frock, twill tailored frock, English military coat, sport suit of royal liber and serge street frock.

Paul Le Marquand's Siberian wolf hound appeared in one of the scenes with a stylish young woman. Ivan D. Martin of New York has charge of this fashion show which will be shown until Wednesday inclusive. The regular vaudeville program is a mixture of dancing, music, comedy, acrobatic thrills and clever chatter. Wilson and Larson are up-to-the-minute in their leaping proclivities. Moore and Rose sing and talk to make others laugh and seem to suc ceed. The Monarch dancing four include a fat man who is as nimble as a cricket. Edna May-Foster and company offer comedy' singing, talk ing and dancing and meet with con siderable approval. The Four Bards are originators of sensational leaps and dives. A Sidney Drew motion picture comedy, Heart-Fathe weekly world's pictorial news and Nordin's orchestra are included in the program. Bill at the Empress. One real novelty headlines the Em press variety bill the first half of the week. Kaptain Kidder & Co., in "Op eratic Comedy" abounds in clean comedy, music and beautiful costumes. Four men and a woman each an artist present the act. Sunday audiences accorded applause to a couple of colored entertainers, Austin and Bailey, who offer a quarter of an hour of "jazz" diversion. Hiatt and Geer, "The High Gear Boys," please with their singing act. The fourth act on the bill is a clever comedy sketch, "In Two -Flats," presented by Harold Woolf and Helen Stewart. The Em press announces "Metro week" for photoplays. The first half is featured by a Metro super-feature, "Red, White and Blue Blood," starring Francis X. Bushman and Beverly Bayne. Mr. Bushman plays the hero in his usual "knock 'em out" manner and is ably supported by Miss Bayne and a capable cast. The story is one of love, adventure and patriotism. In addition the Empress offers comedies and a news weekly.
