The Federal Law:
The law provides that in computing Net Income there shall be
allowed the taxpayer a reasonable deduction for amortization of
the cost of facilities built or acquired for war purposes. Specifically
it states:
At anv time
present war, the Commissioner may, and at the request of the taxpayer
shall, re-examine the return, and if he then finds as a result of an
appraisal or from other evidence that the deduction originally
allowed was incorrect the taxes imposed by this title and by Title
III for the year or years affected shall be redetermined."
Treasury Regulations:
Referring to allowable amortization deductions from Net In
come, Treasury Regulation 45 as amended states:
And if as a
found that the deduction originally allowed was incorrect the
amount of tax due for each taxable year during the amortization
period will be adjusted by additional assessment or by refund."
If you built or acquired any plant or facilities between April 7,
1917 and November 11, 1918 you have every reason to believe
that you may be entitled to a reduction or a cash refund of Federal
taxes from returns already submitted or taxes paid.
There is much misunderstanding concerning this whole matter
on the part of taxpayers. We are, through one department of
our organization, aiding in the adjustment and settlement through
appraisal and otherwise of these tax claims and have prepared a
comprehensive pamphlet on the subject outlining a procedure
under which relief may be had.
Write us today for a complimentary copy of our pamphlet No.
34. Or, if you prefer, our representative will be glad to discuss
the matter with you in person.

but Bishop Rhinelandor Is
Opon to Suggestions
$50,000 CONTRIBUTED
Bishop Ilhlnolnntlor announced yes
terday tlint nt prccnt tht pinns for
hnllding the Cnthodrnl Clmreh of
Chriit still consider Twenty-third street
and the Parkway ns the most likely site.
The new Protestant Episcopal Cathedral
wn") tho subject of nn opcn-nlr sermon,
Stmdny by the Itev. Dr. George Lyndc
Richardson, vicar of the Pro-Cnthedrnl,
who snltl that it wns possible that the
proposed building would be erected nt
some other spot.
The Ulshop sold thnt, while the plans
wcro to put the church on the Park
way, they could bo changed readily if
some one should offer n more construc
tive suggestion.
$,".0,000 Has Keen Contributed
Something more than $50,000 has
been contributed to tho endowment fund
for tho Cathedral Church of Christ in
the last two jenrs, and a vigorous effort
will be mnde next autumn to increase
that to ?2,'i0,000, tho first unit of tho
great fund. No one has ever put an
estimate upon tho cost of the proposed
edifice, but if it in to be the stateliest
and handsomest cathedral in the coun
try, ns Dr. Richardson said last Sun
day. It will involve an expenditure of
millions of dollars.
"We feci that the time has come to
press more vigorously for the remainder
of this sum, $250,000," Rlshop Rhine
lander announces in n stntcment that is
being circulated at .the Parkway serv
ices, "and wo are assured from many
aides thnt there will be interest nnd help
forthcoming from the people of the dio
cese, who understand tne practical aluo
of what wo are trjing to do here.
"The question is often nsked when
n site will be selected nnd plnns for the
building begun. There can be but one
nnswer to this question. All who have
had experience in building cathedrals
urge upon us the vital importance of
creating nn endowment for support be
fore nio attempt nt building is made.
A rnthrdrnl, in order to do its best
work, ought not to hao n permnnentlv
nttnehed congregation. It tihould be n
meeting plate of nil the people of the
city, the center from which cver kind
of ministrj enn be offered to the tran
sient nnd unattached people, of whom
there nre sn many in n crent metropolis
like Philadelphia.
"If this ideal is to lie attained, it N
obvious that the cnthvtlrnl innnot he
supported ns n pnrisli church is sup- '
ported The first necessitv is nn en
dowment suflicient to meet the linger
pnrt of the expense."
Rlshop Uhinelunder plans to obtain
n staft" of expert leaders in (onmi timi
with the cathedral, who-will give the
larger piirt of their time to the or
ganization of clioetsmn activities. There
will be a conon mtwdoncr or archdea
con, who will supervise the citv-vvidc
missionnrj work; n ennon of religious
education, who will ntt ns executive'
secretnrj of the diocesan educational
nctivitlcs in the Kxetutlve Council, nnd,
a canon of social scivice, to "co
ordinate nntl promote" the Institutional
nnd sot inloglcnl activities of the diocese.

Atr. nrMnti fathered this movement orig
inally nnd submitted It to tho County
Committee fqr consideration In the form
of a resolution, is very anxious that the
committee bo named at an early date
so that it may co-opcrnte with tho dole
gates to the Stnto convention pf tho
.Legion In Pittsburgh next September
with n view of enlisting tho support of
the convention. Tho State convention
could very properly nut lorlto th! i selec
tion of a Bpcclal committee to placo tho
facts before the national convention In
Kansas City, Mo., In October. Since
the request of Pennsylvania would be
five years in advance, there ought to be
no objection on the part of tho national
delegates toward expressing a preference
for Philadelphia In 1020, partlcu arly
Inasmuch ns the delegates and visitors
to the Legion convention fit that time
would be privileged to participate In an
occasion of. nntionnl importance and
" R"Tho Philadelphia Chamber of Com
merce has expressed a keen Interest in
the effort to attract the Legion national
convention to Philadelphia five years
hence, and Tranklln Post feels assured
thnt this movement will receive the
enrnest support of the entire State.
