Robert Dollar Co. "Around the World" Service

Something new under the sun in the history of shipping has been created with the establishment of the first regular Round-the-World passenger service on the globe by the Dollar Steamship Line. A fleet of seven 522-type "President" liners have been purchased from the government to rnaintain the American merchant marine on the seas under private ownership. The venture is one of the pioneering enierp.ires in maritime annals which takes its place with the epochal achievements of Morse in telegraphy, Bell in telephones, Wright Brothers in airplanes and Edison in electricity.

The new service will circle the globe in lI2 days, calling at 21 ports in 12 countries and touching five continents' A ,egular sailing every two weeks rvill be made from New YJrk, Boston' San Francisco and Los Angeles' The ports of call on the globe girdling voyage include Honolulu' Kobe, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Manila, Singapore' Penang' Colombo, Suez, Port Said, Alexandria, Naples, Genoa' Marseilles, Havana, Colon and Balboa'

The vessels have a displacement tonnage of 21,000 tons and provide every modern comfort for travel bY water.

Provision is made for a go-as-you-please itinerary around the world by liberal stop-overs at any of the ports in order to give opportunity to visit all of the interesting places in all iands. The identical accommodations can be obtained for the entire voyage on any of the liners which are sister ships. This exceptional service provides the conveniences of the private yacht for travelers'

The vessels were built by the government to handle large cargoes of fast freight and the nerv service will provide shipping facilities from all ports of call in the tour of the world.

Mclntosh, Cowan & Co. to Open At Los Angeles

Mcfntosh, Cowan & Company, certified public accountants, with offices at Seattle and Portland, and who are well known to Pacific Coast lumbermen, .have arranged for the openihg of an office at Los Angeles.

Mr. John G. Mclntosh,'one of the partners, has been in California for several weeks past, on one of his frequent business trips, and he states that a steady growth oi the firms praclice, especially in and about Los-Aigeles, during the past four years, has convinced him of thi wisdom o-f establishing a permanent office in Sciuthern California.

The firm has secured temporary quarters at 810 Loew,s State Bldg., and Mr. Huber F. Wise, who has beeri its Los Angeles representative for some time will continue in that capacity.

This company has for many years specialized in the lum_ ber infustry in income taxes, general iccounting and audit- ing. "Probably more than fifty per cent of thi public accountants work during the past five years has arisen from the Federal income and excess^profits tax laws,,, says Mr. Mclntosh. "Especially amongst timber-owning and-manufacturing lumber companies, it has in many- cases been necessary to analyze and revise property, capital and sur_ plus accounts from the beginning, in order to develop a proper shoy',ing to the Go.yernment with respect to invejted capit-al depletion and depreciation. Not many companies had kept their accounts in a manner that would do them justice under the requirements of the Revenue Act of l91Z and 1918. However, the taxes for the year !917 and 1918, are now pretty well settled, and the basis determined for those years will govern the adjustment of taxes fdi?ub_ sequent years."

"The discontlnuance of the complicated excess-profits tax has eliminated the most serious of taxpayers difficultier, "na he will never have less urgent need of ihe accountants assistance in tax matters unless a new excess profits should be imposed."
