PROMOTION OF FINE ARTS FOR KEY WEST

The Art Society Of Key West has done well
in bringing to this city such famous artist as

substantially to cooperate with this valuable local
organization in the matter Of securing dates from
eminent artists IN all lines when passing through

vana.

A debt discovered to be worth
less and charged off the books of
the taxpayer for the year 1925
may be deducted from the gross
income in computing net income
for that year. The return must
show evidence of the manner in
which the worthlessness of the
debt was discovered and that
ordinary and legal means for its
collection have been or would be
unavailing.
Bad debts may be deducted in
whole or in part. When deduct
ed, the taxpayer must be able to
show with a reasonable degree of
certainty the amount uncollect-
able. Partial deductions are al
lowed with respect to specific
debts only.
A valid debt proved to be
worthless may not always be a
proper deduction. For example,
unpaid amounts representing.
wages, rentals, or similar items
are not allowed as deductions I'M
less included as gross income in
the creditors return for the year,
in which the deduction is sought
or in a previous year. The fact
that expected income was not re-
ceived does not reduce the amount
of taxable income of the creditor.
Unpaid loans made to needy
relatives or friends with little or
no expectation that they would
be repaid are mot -deduetible, but
are regarded as gifts.

Or The Other Way Round

A letter appearing in the New York
Sun suggests Porto Rico as a possible
source of supply for the ~servantless
homes of wealthy North Americans. In
part the letter reads:
1T cannot be deuied that the need for
house help grows while the supply there
of decreases. Manifestly the thing TO DO
then is to increase the supply. not, how
ever, by letting into the country a horde
of alleged help that might or might not
act as such after its admittance. The de-
mand being a national one, the remedy
should be the same.
