SOUTHERNERS' NEED
FOR SHOES DENIED
Senate Discusses Labor Sec
retary's Statement on
Dixie Market.

The Senate turned aside briefly yes
terday from banking problems to discuss
statistics on shoe sales in different parts
Of the country, when Southern Senators
arose to assure the rest of the Nation
that shoes are worn In the South as
they are elsewhere.
Senators Russell, Democrat. of
Georgia, and Bailey, Democrat, of North
Carolina, started the discussion when
they arose to take exception to a recent
speech of Secretary of Labor Frances
Perkins, in which she was reported as
having pointed to the South as a
potential market for the sale of more
shoes. Constituting the speech as an
1ntimation that the wearing OF shoes is
not a general custom in that section,
the Southern Senators politely, but
firmly, took issue with such an Idea
and urged the Secretary of Labor to
visit the sunny South and see for
herself.
Quotes Expenditures.
Senator Bailey quoted figures as to
the amounts spent for shoes in various
States, and contended that, when al
lowance is made for the long Summers
in the South, when children like to 60
barefoot, the per capita expenditures
for shoes in that section Of the country
measure up to the sums expended in
New York and elsewhere. The discus
sion was marked by occasional touches
of humor. At one point Senator Bailey
declared:
why, Mr. President, even the mules
in the South wear shoes"
Again, when Senator Bailey was
pointing out that children enjoy going
barefooted, Senator Glass, Democrat. Of
Virginia, joined in to remark that
when I grew up as boy We did not
care a tinker's damn for boy who
wore Shoes"
Favors Exemption for Boys.
Senator Russell suggested that If an
effort should be made ito force the
people of the South to wear shoes by
legislative fat" he was gratified to
know that Senator'S Bailey and Glass
would favor an exemption to allow
those under IA to go barefoot in Sum-
rner time.
Senator Copeland, Democrat, Of New
York, brought the debate to a close by
assuring the Senate that Miss Perkins
had no thought of rejecting on the
South He called attention to the long
and constructive record Of the Secre-
tary of Labor and said she is too anxi-
Gus to aid the entire country to give
any wrong impressions.

City Borrowing as Last Re-
sort Called Humane Re-

In the interest of humanity, legisla-
ton which would protect the poverty
stricken of the community in times of
dire need should be enacted into law
Miss Nora B. Huffman, president of
the Soroptimist Club of Washington said
today in indorsing the bill to authorize
the District to- borrow funds from the
Reconstruction Finance Corporation for
emergency use in the event public and
private sources Of emergency relief are
exhausted.
Il believe I am expressing the feel
Ing Of the entire membership of my

Miss Huffman explained she would
not be in favor of a direct loan from
the Reconstruction Finance Corporation
to be poured into unemployment relief
channels at this time But l do be-
lieve," she declared, that we should
have the necessary legislation which
would enable us to cope with an emer-
gency such as that which would arise
if private relief agencies were unable
to advance funds and public appro-
priations for relief work suddenly be-
came exhausted.
THE legislation now pending in

FARMERS LIMITED
TO $500 CROP LOANS
Restriction of $9o,000,000 Fund
Announced by Secretary
Hyde.

Individual farmers will be limited to
loans of $500 in borrowing from the
$90,000,000 fund set aside by Congress
for crop production financing, Secre-
tary Hyde announced today.
In addition to reducing the maximum
from S400 in 1882, Hyde issued regula-
tions providing that farmers who are
delinquent in repayment of two or more
prior loans will be limited to $10O in
order to conserve the -und from which
nearly 100000 farmers are expected
to seek assistance. The loan will be
first lien on the crop produced.
Congress authorized the Secretary OF
Agriculture to require acreage reduc-
ton up to 80 per cent as loan con-
dition, and Hyde said this will be en-
forced except in the case of minor pro-
ducers and growers of perennials. Or
chardists will not be required to cut
down their trees or otherwise reduce
their producing capacity to qualify for
aid
Shortly before Hydes announcement,

ton Loan Office, made a vigorous de-
nial before the House Expenditures

Your Income Tax
No. 20.
Bad Debts-Year in Which
Deductible.

To be allowed as a deduction from
gross income, bad debt must have
been determined by the taxpayer to be
worthless within the taxable year for
which it Is claimed and, where books
are Kept, 1t also must have been
charged oil within the same year. The
necessity for this provision is obvious.
If debt could be deducted without the
requirement that it be charged off the
taxpayers books. the certainty of its
worthlesSness would be open to ques-
ton. Neither the taxpayer nor the
Government could be certain that
debt would not be claimed more than
once.
If bad debt were allowed as a de-
auction, without regard to the year
when it became worthless. such charges
could be accumulated to be deducted in
year when there was a large income.
However, taxpayer who has erron-
eously charged off a debt in a year
after that in which it was determined
to be worthless may file an amended
return for the year in which the
deot became worthless and was not
charged off
The burden Is upon the taxpayer to
show that debt claimed as a deduc-
ton was without value during the tax
able year. A statement should be at
tached to the return showing the pro-
priety Of any deductions for bad debts.
II in the exercise of sound business
judgment taxpayer concludes, after
making every reasonable effort to de-
termine whether there is likelihood of
recovery, that the debt is of no value,
deduction for such debt is allowable.
Court action as proof that the debt Is
worthless Is not essential.
1t is optional with the taxpayer, in
year prior to that in which a debt
becomes wholly worthless, to take de-
duct,on for partial loss if partial worth
lessness occurs. If it can be shown that
upon maturity of bond. mortgage, or
note evidencing a debt it will not be
paid in full, the partial loss is de-
ductible
