It is suggested that income tax
payers be allowed to deduct from
taxable income what they have to
pay doctors.
If a man makes his Income by
using machinery he is allowed to
deduct from income whateVer he
has to spend to keep the ma
chinery in order.
The machinery used by a law
yer, merchant or mechanic is his
own body and brain. If he lias to
spend money to keep that ma
chinery in order and fit to earn
revenue, OF COURSE he should
be allowed to charge that to "re
airs" and deduct it from income
And also he should be al
lowed to deduct for each year
of wear and tear a fair charge for
DEPLETION.
A coal mine owner charges off
"depletion," because his mine is
■worth less each year.

What about the mao whose
mine is his brain ? Th.-.t also is
worth less each year.
