YOUR INCOME
 TAX
DEDUCTION FOR BAD DEBTS

Bad debts constitute a consider able item in the returns of many taxpayers and may be treated in one of two Ways-either by deduction from gross income in respect to debts ascertained to be worthless either in whole or in part, or by deduction of reasonable addl- tion to a reserve for bad debts.
 Taxpayers were given an option for 1921 to select either of the two methods. The method used in the return for 1921 must be used in re- turns for subsequent years unless permission is granted by the Com missioner of Internal Revenue to change to the other method.
 Application to change must be made at least 30 days prior to the close of the taxable year for which the change is to be effective How ever. a taxpayer filing a first re- turn in 1887 may select either of the two methods, subject to the appro- val of the Commissioner upon eX- animation of the return.
 Permission to adopt the reserve method is limited to taxpayers hay ing a large number of accounts where credit is extended over a considerable period of time. It is mot granted for the purpose of handing one specific debt.
 What constitutes a reasonable addition" to a reserve for bad debts must be determined in the light of the facts, and will vary as between classes of business and with condi- tions of business prosperity.
 It will depend primarily upon the total amount of debts outstanding as of the close of the taxable year, those arising currently as well as those arising in prior taxable years, and the total amount of the existing reserve.
 l In case subsequent realizations upon outstanding debts prove to be more or less than estimated at the time of the creation of the existing reserve, the amount of the excess or inadequacy in the existing reserve should be reflected in the determin- ation of the reasonable addition nec-

Vessel Is Being lowed tc Juneau with Engines
 Silent

Word was received in Juneau late yesterday that the Lighthouse ten der Cedar. Capt. J. w. Leadbetter, had either drifted or ran upon Tombstone Reef, near Point Re- treat, rendering the ship helpless, while on buoy work.
 It was. learned today that the army tender Torrance had gone to the Cedar's aid, and lowed her to Tee Harbor, then relinquished her tow in favor of the lighthouse ten der Hemlock. which it was reported is bringing the Cedar into Juneau.
 Few details were available, but it was understood the Cedar had been disabled at Tombstone Reef, about 40 miles north of Juneau. be- tween Sentinel Island and Point Retreat
 Several craft in the haTbor in Juneau were at first asked to go to the Cedars aid, but word was re- ceived the Torrance had left Haines at 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon for the scene.
 The motorship Estebeth which left port at 6 o'clock last night for Sitka, was to heave to at Tombstone Reef and ask the Cedar if any assistance was needed.
 A wire received by the Steamboat Inspectors this morning said the Cedar was being lowed into Juneau
 There is possibility the Cedar will be beached here to learn the extent of her damage, which is be- lieved to lie principally in a dam aged propeller and tail shaft.

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 19.-With 23
witnesses subpoenaed to support its
charges. the State of California un-
leased the first legal blow. today in
its fight to send Paul A. Wright.
3S-year-old airport executive, to the

E. Ernest Roll, chief prosecutor,
gave the States version Of the shoot
ings in Wright's home in Glendale

the couple as they sat on q piano
bench in the living room.
Roll contended the shootings con-
stttuted first-degree murder, that they
were premeditated, and he demanded
that Wright pay with his own life.
The jury of nine men and three
women. with three alternates, was
selected late yesterday after three
days Of intensive examination by
prosecuting lawyers and Jerry Giesler,
Wright's chief counsel.
Judge 1ngall w. Bull ordered three
alternate jurors selected, since, he
said, the trial would be protracted and
that unusual care must be taken to
see that it continued in spite of pos
sible illness to jurors.
In the confession, as reported by
police, Wright stated he shot his wife
and Kimmel because he found them
embracing when he awoke from q
short nap. He said he fired in q
blind rage Of jealousy.
Although he pleaded innocent and
innocent by reason of insanity, the

Gov. Earle to Try to Con.
vince Roosevelt Program
Is Constructive.
BY the Associated Press,

BY the Associated Press.
HARRISBURG. Pa, Jan. 19.-Gov-
ernment ownership Of the mines was
proposed as the possible "cure-all" for
Pennsylvania sagging anthracite in
dustry.
New Deal Gov. George H. Earle,
emerging from a conference with min
ing men. announced last night that
he would call upon President Roose-
velt next Monday or Tuesday and
recommend:
Federal legislation permitting the
Government to buy all the coal lands
IN Eastern Pennsylvania, heart of the
richest anthracite-producin territory
in the world.
Leasing of mines in only strategic
spots to private industry.
Control of production and regula-
ton of marketing practices by a Fed
eral agency.
Objective Is Cheaper Rate.
The immediate objective would be
to bring hard coal to the consumers
cellar at cheaper rate.
Earle said he would ask Pennsyl-
vania's delegation of q in Congress to
champion" such legislation. He
added that the President has assured
him Of support "in constructive pro-
gram" and now he must convince Mr.,
Roosevelt that this is the "only con-
structive program and enduring solu-
ton"
Ihls program, Earle said, Won the
support of the two largest operators
and the United Mine Workers of
America in his four-hour conference
yesterday The operators were j. B.
Warriner, president of the Lehigh
Navigation Coal Co., and Ralph Tag
gart. president Of the Philadelphia e.
Reading Coal g. Iron Co.
Representative of Unions.
Representing John L. Lewis and
the U. M. w. A. were 1t. Gov. Thomas
Kennedy. the international secretary
treasurer, and Counsel Henry War
rum.
They threshed through the history
OF hard coal from the time 99, 900 900
tons were produced in Pennsylvania
IN 1917 to 1896 when only $4,000 900
tons were turned out.
Earle's statistics on the industry
prompted President Roosevelt to say
last night in Washington that they
were the most amazing figures" he
evtr had seen. A study is being made
to determine what action, II any.
should be taken, he said.
The Governor was reluctant to esti-
mate the value of Pennsylvania coal
lands but the entire industry in the
State has been unofdcially valued at
81, 900 ,000,0 900.
