Cox and Family Arrived In
Aiken

Aiken
Aiken, March 3.-James NJ. Cox,
ex-governor of Ohio and Democratic
presidential candidate in 1920, his
wife and little daughter, Anna ar
rived in Aiken this afternoon at 2 80
o'clock and will make this place their
home for the remainder of the month
They have rented the Oakley cottage
near the .Willcock hotel.
When interviewed this evening",
Mr.. Cox said that he regretted the
rainy weather which had greeted him
in the South but said that he looked
for more pleasant conditions. He is
not stranger in the South or in this:
section, however, for he stayed for
some time in Augusta in 1920.
Asked about the association of ma
tions formed at the conference re-
Gently held in Washington. Mr. Cox
said that with certain reservations
he did not think the association
could do any harm but he ernphati-
cally stated, ayes, it is an alliance
and alliances are what the league of
nations wished to avoid. 1t seems to-
me that if four nations are allied as
in the four power treaty there should
be no reason why 81 nations should
not be allied. As l see it the associa-
tion as formed. 1t seems inevitable
that Russia and Germany will have
to join together and the balance Of
power will be brought again into
play"
Regarding the political situation
Mr.. Cox sale in substance that there
was much protestation against the
Republican admistration and that the
feeling all over the United States
was that the campaign promises had
not been carried out, and for the rea-
son that they could not be carried
out and were impossible when
promised. Asked about the congress
sional election this year, Mr.. Cox
said that unless there was very soon q
startling change in conditions, es-
pecially economic conditions, it was
his belief that congress would be as
much Democratic as it is now Re-;
fbttSiean - ~
Mr.. Cox said that he had noticed
a more severe economic condition in
the South than was prevalent else
where in the United States and said
that he did not believe there would
be any great relief experienced in
this country until Europe recovered
and there was more of demand
created for other markets.
"That is too far off. We have two
years more," said Mr.. Cox when
asked about the Democratic chances
in the next presidential election. Mr..
Cox, who was invited to stop over IN
Columbia today and address the
state legislature, said that he was un-
able to do SO because of the fact
that he had his family with him. He
was very appreciative of the atten-
ton shown him by the committee
which met the train at Columbia and
regretted that he had been unable
to talk to the South Carolina law
makers,

MEXICO CITY. Jan. %. - The
"wets" in Mexico are frankly alarmed.
They say there is n real possibility
that Mexico City, at least may go
dry before the end of the year and
that if so, the next step would be To
make the entire republic arid of alco-
Eolic beverages.
President Obregon does not say
that he is a prohibitionist, but within
the past few months he has given his
unqualified support 10 certain legal
measures which aim to cut down
drinking and eventually to put intoXi-
cants under the ban.
Saloons. clubs and cantinas have
been put under more rigid restric-
tons and. only a few weeks ago. a
Presidential decree increased the Fed
eral revenue tax on alcoholic drinks
100 per cent. There are many rumors
that these taxes will be automatically
increased until they become prohibi-
tive
Nation wide protest was heard sew
cral days ago when the newspapers
said that President Obregon contem-
plated issuing decree fOrbidding the
planting and cultivation of the maguey
plant which is the basic ingredient OF
the most popular native drinks.

More Facts Pertaining To Income
Tax--Deductions On Bad Debts

The revenue act of 1921 contains
two new and important provisions
with respect 10 deductions for bad
debts. Debts ascertained TO be worth
less and charged OF during the year
1921 may be deducted. and when salts
fed that a debt is recoverable only in
part. the Commissioner OF Internal
Revenue may allow such debt 10 be
charged of ia part.
Where a taxpayer, as matter Of
established business practice. sets up
annually a reserve for bad debts,
based upon experience. reasonable adj
ditions To such reserve during the
year, within the discretion OF the COM
missioner. may be deducted. In such
case. debts written OF on the books
of the taxpayer must be charged
against the reserve. and must not be
claimed as a deduction from gross in
come
Before deducting a debt in part. a
taxpayer must be able 10 show with a
reasonable degree of certainty the
amount uncOllectible. In determining
whether a debt is worthless in whole
or in part, the commissioner will con-
slider pertinent evidence, such as the
value of collateral. if any. and the fl
nancial condition OF the debtor. Par
tial deductions will be allowed with
respect TO specific debts only
Reserve Accounts
Taxpayers, who prior to 1921, have
maintained reserve accounts for bad
debts may deduct a reasonable addi-
ton TO such reserves during the last
year in lieu OF a deduction for specific
bad debt items Those who have not
heretofore maintained such reserve
accounts, may now elect to DO so. In
such case they may determine the
amount that reasonably should have
been set up at December 30, 1920
(which sum shall not be deducted in
computing net mcconnell, and for 1921
and subsequent years. may add rea-
s0nahle addition 10 such reserve. and
