"IN THE LINE OF DUTY."

INTERPRETATION OF PHRASE. See WORDS AND PHRASES, 9, 10. INCOME TAX.

1. Community Property.—The earnings of husband and wife domiciled in Texas are community income, and such husband and wife in rendering separate income-tax returns may each report as gross income one-half of the total earnings of the husband and wife.

298.

2. Same. The income from separate property, except the increase, rents, and revenues from lands, is community income, and therefore husband and wife domiciled in Texas, in rendering separate income-tax returns, may each report as gross income one-half the total income from separate property, except the increase, rents, and revenues from land held separately. 298. 3. Same. The income from community property as defined in article 4622, Vernon's Sayles' Texas Statutes, is community income, and therefore husband and wife domiciled in Texas, in rendering separate income-tax returns, may each report as gross income one-half the total income from such community property. 298. 4. Same. In Washington, Arizona, Idaho, New Mexico, Louisiana, and Nevada the husband and wife domiciled therein, in rendering separate income-tax returns, may each report as gross income one-half of the income which under the laws of the respective States becomes, simultaneously with its receipt, community property; this is not based upon any statute enacted subsequent to March 1, 1913, and applies under income-tax acts prior to the revenue act of 1918. 435.

5. Enemy Trusts-As to enemy property conveyed to or seized by the Alien Property Custodian, the Custodian is not such a trustee or fiduciary as is required by the law to make returns or pay income taxes; he is merely an official or agent of the Government. 249.

INCOME TAX-Continued.

6. Same.

Before enemy trusts are returned to their former owners, the Treasury Department may ascertain the taxes due on the income which accrued on such property during the time it was held by the Alien Property Custodian and require them to be paid. 249. 7. Foreign Corporations and Partnerships-Source of Income.-A corporation, organized under the laws of Scotland, manufactures or partially manufactures articles in this country which are sold in England, after they are exported to Glasgow, Scotland, where they are finished at the home mill. There is here no gross income from sources within the United States within the meaning of the revenue act of February 24, 1919 (40 Stat. 1057); also the income which may accrue to such corporation in England by the sale of logs purchased in the United States is not income from sources within the United States. 336.

8. Same. Where a corporation, organized under the laws of England, purchases goods in England and sells them within the United States through the medium of a New York corporation, the gross income from such business is income from sources within the United States, and is to be estimated in the same way that such income is estimated where both manufacture and sale are had within the United States. 336.

9. Same.

Where a partnership organized in England, whose principal office is at Liverpool, England, maintains a branch office at Dallas, Tex., which does not make any sales, but buys cotton in the United States and ships it to the home office in England for disposition, the gross income from such business is not derived from sources within the United States. 336.

10. Same. A partnership organized in England, having its home office in London, maintains a branch office in New York City in charge of a member of the firm resident in that city. The business of the firm is that of commission merchant in raw furs, and its income is derived from commissions on the proceeds from sales of furs consigned to it. The principal function of the New York branch office is to solicit consignments of raw furs to the firm at London, but it also does various other things incident to the business of the firm, such as making disbursements to the consignors, attending to the shipments, etc. In such case only the income of the partner resident within the United States is taxable. 337. 11. Same.-A corporation organized under the laws of Great Britain, with its home office at Manchester, England, operates a line of freight steamships between Philadelphia, Pa., and foreign ports. It has no office in the United States, but consigns its steamships to certain agents at Philadelphia, who see to the entry and clearance of each steamer and the discharge and loading of the cargo and supplies, collect such part of the freight as is prepayable in this country for the ocean carriage, deduct the
