Worthless Debts Included.

). Debts due which have been actually
ascertained to be worthless and which
have been charged of within the year
This subdivision allows US a deduction
for all bad debts that are due within the
year, provided they are worthless. Here
the word worthless Is used in the sense
of uncollectable-that is, II after they
have been legally tried and they have
been found to be uncollectable. then they
might be charged off and included in the
deductions. but not until then On this
subdivision we have a clause tNo. 14) in
the instructions on page 4 of the per-
sonal return form.
8. Amount representing a reasonable
allowance for the exhaustion, wear and
tear of property arising out of it's use
or employment in the business This is
usually known by the name of de-
probation, and must be left to the ex-
perience and judgment of those en-
gagged in that business. Every line of
business generally has a fixed rule of
charging of the depreciation effected
by the wear and tear arising out of the
use of 1t in the business. An example
of this is furniture. elevators. private
lighting plants, heating plants, etc.
Credits for the amount of depreciation
must be taken every year. Profits paid
out for new buildings or making
permanent improvements or better
ments are not deductable Now that
we have gotten all our deductions to-
gether. we will have to take five
sixths OF them for this year.

 These achievements represent vast eX- penditures of money and immense concentra- tion of effort which have been justified by results of immeasurable benefit to the public No local company unaided could bear the financial or scientific burden only through a centralized general staff, avoiding Wasteful duplication of effort, working out problems common to all for the benefit of all
 The pioneers of the Bell System recog- nized that telephone service as they saw it, was in the brpadest sense a public utility; that upon them rested public obligation to give the best possible service at the most reasonable rates consistent with risk in- vestment and the continued improvement and maintenance of it's property.
 Without this expenditure of millions and concentration of effort, the telephone art as it exists could not have been devel- oped
 What we have done in working out these great problems in the past should be ac- cepted as a guarantee of what we will do in the future.
