Income Tax Facts

The revenue act of 1921 conta ins
two new and important provisions
with respect to deductions for bad
debts. Debts ascertained to be worth
less and charged off during the year
1921 may be deducted, and when salts
fled that a debt is recoverable only
in part, the Commissioner of Internal
Revenue may allow such debt to be
charged off in part.
Where a taxpayer, as matter of
established business practice, sets up
reserve for bad debts, bas-
ed upon experience, reasonable addi
tions to such reserve during the year,
within the discretion of the commits
sioner, may be deducted. In such a
case, debts written off on the books of
the taxpayer must be charged against
the reserve and must not be claimed
as deduction from gross income.
Before deducting debt in part, a
taxpayer must be able to 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
NdAuc " SoiialSidly IL dIys lIiS
financial condition of the debtor. Par
tial deductions will be allowed with
respect to specific debt only.
Reserve Accounts
Taxpayers, who prior to 1921, have
maintained reserve accounts for bad
debts may deduct a reasonable ad-
dition 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 80,
1920 (Which sum shall not be deducted
in computing net income), and for 1921
and subsequent years may add req
sonable addition to such reserve, and

beginning and end of the taxable year,
and the amount of debts ascertained to

account during the taxable year.
To be allowed, claims for deductions
of bad debts must have certain quail!
ties. The debt. or that portion which
is not recoverable must have been de-
termined to be worthless and charged
off within the taxable year. The re-
turn must contain evidence that the
ordinary means Of collection have been
exhausted and that legal action would
in all probability not result in collcc-

tives with little or no expectation

but are regarded as gifts. Where the
creditor continues to extend credit to
debtor, debt ma ynot be charged
off as worthless. If debt is for
given, it can not be claimed as de
ducton. because it is then regarded
as a gift, which is not an allowable
deduction.
A valid debt proved to be worthless
is not always proper deduction. For

wages, salaries, rentals, or similar
items of taxable income are not al.

POPE NAMED ON
SEVENTH bRLLOT

ton, and the priest who was attach
ed to Cardinal Ratti was admitted to
the conclave.
The Secretary of the conclave and
the priest then proceeded with the
robing of the newly elected pope. One
OF the three, white robes which had
been prepared for the ceremony was
put on Ratti and the secretary of the
conclave knclt and handed to him
the white cap which designates him
as supreme pontiff.
Thus attired, the new pope return
ed to the chapel and ascended the
temporary throne which had been
prepared overlooking the seats of the
cardinals. The first homage was
paid to the new pope by the cardinals
in order.
Cardinal Gasparri, who as cardinal
camerlengo, had retained temporary
papal authority was then required to
approach the throne and give to Pope
Plus NJ the ring of ST. Peter which
will later be turned over to. the pre-
feet of ceremonies to have Ratti's
name inscribed upon it. The cardinals
then returned to their cells to await
the formal announcement to the pub
lie of the election.
The head of Cardinal Deacons ap-
peared before the eager throng out
side the Vatican, which was crowding
forward to receive the first public
papal blessing and announced to the
thousands swarming in the Piazzi di
San Pietro the fact that a new pope
had been elected. He gave Ratti's
name as when the new pope was a
cardinal.
Following this announcement there
was further ceremony to be gone
through in the sistine chapel and
later, according to custom in one OF
the chapels of st. Peters.
The coronation Of Pope Plus Xl
will constitute the last and most
magnificent ceremony of all those
attending the death of the supreme
pontiff and the election Of his sue
cessor.
The exact date for the coronation,
as we'll as the place where it will be
held, will be designated by Pope Plus
himself.
The newly elected Pope broke the
precedent which has been established
since the time of Plus TX by appearing
on the balcony and bestowing the bles-
sings upon the throng beneath. 1t had
been customary for the Pope to, be-
stow this first blessing from bal
conv inside St. Peters.
The Pope is in his 65th year and is
vigorous mentally and physically.
Ratti achieved considerable fame in
Italy and Switzerland as an alpirist
and compiled an extensive library on
mountaineering.
O'Conneil Too Late
ROME, Feb. 6.-Cardinal O'connell
arrived at Rome this afternoon, too
late. to take part in the election Of
Cardinal Ratti to the papacv. Pore
Plus XI received the American cardi-
nal and bestowed his blessing.
Over seven years ago when the
Sacred College elected Pope Benedict
XIV, Cardinal O'Conncll arrived at
Naples on the very morning Benedict
was finally chosen and was on his
way to Rome when his car broke
down and tolling bells informed him
that he was just too late.
This morning Cardinal O'Connell
arrived at Naples and was on his
way by special train to the capital
when the election Of Cardinal Ratti
was announced.

DAIRY MEETINGS ARE
A COMPLETE
SUCCESS

The dairy meetings of last ween
were very well attended, about 80
practical dairymen of the valley at
tending one or more of the meetings.
All appeared deeply interested in the
addresses by University experts,
which covered wide range of sub
jeCtS pertinent to the dairy industry
V. c. Castle and Sam Green strongly
advocated greater activity in dairy
ing in Imperial Valley, citing the fact
that prosperous communities in this
and other states give due place to
the dairy industry. V. c. Castle
talked especially on the feeding CT
herds. Dr. Keefe spoke extensively
on the control of disease to when
dairy cattle may be subject, and nr.
j. j. Frey brought out the work that
the Department of Agriculture is at
tempting to do for the dairymen.
Sam Green gave most interest
ing and practical talk on the bringing
down Of production costs, a subject
of vital Importance to the producers
of butter fat.
At all Of the meetings, Mr.. Green
asked for an expression of sentimch.
on the subject of having seconn IS
Sistant farm adviser in Imperial
county, who could devote his entire
attention to the dairy industry.
The Bankers Association and the
Associated Chambers of Commerce
are on record as favoring the second
assistant adviser. The question will
be submitted to the County Board of
Supervisors at an early date by a
committee composed of members of
the Bankers Association, presidents
of the Chambers of Commerce of
each city and members of the Farm
Bureau.
