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is received it is withdrawn except for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.

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

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.

people to their own certain, forth

of unexpected deaths every day in

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

One real novelty headlines the Em
press variety bill the first half of the
week. Kaptain Kidder & Co., in "Op

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.
