have been built up in the belligerent

u. S. Must Stay At Peace,
Holt Says Al Columbia

COLUMBIA, S. c., Feb. 23-R-
Senator Holt (D-W. Va.) said in
an address here last night that
america must stay at peace and
hold aloft the torch of liberty to
prove to the world that democracy
a solve it's problems and that no
government on earth can compare
with democracy as we know it."
Holt spoke at the students forum
at the University of South Carolina.
Saying that he was glad to join
George Washington in his program
Of isolation in order that America
will be preserved" the senator de-
clared that the current European
war "or the next one will not settle
the problems that cause such men
as Hitler and Stain; they are the
results of economic and social con
ditions."
ITO the contrary" the speaker
continued, war is the breeding
grounds for dictatorship. War is
the cause of decayed civilization
from which such regimes arise. War
will not stop dictators. War will
cause a condition that cultivates
them.
Holt said that failure to solve
our own economic problems is an
invitation to disbursement, to de-
spair, to war"

Income Tax
DEDUCTION FOR BAD DEBTS

Bad debts constitute a consider
ablo item in the returns Of many
taxpayers and may be treated in
one of two ways-either by deduc.
ton from gross income in respect
to debts ascertained to be worth
less either in whole or in part and
charged off, or by a deduction of a
reasonable addition to a reserve for
bad debts. Taxpayers were given an
option for 1921 to select either of
the two methods. The method used
in returns for subsequent years I'M
less permission is granted by the
Commissioner of Internal Revenue
to change to the other method. APP
plication to change must be made
at least 80 days prior to the close CT
the taxable year f which the
change is to be effective. However,
a taxpayer filing a first return fol-
1899, may select either of the two
methods, subject to the approval OF
the commissioner upon examina
ton of the return. Permission tt
adopt the reserve method is limited
to taxpayers having a large mum
Der of accounts where credit is ex
tended over a considerable period OF
time. II is not granted for the pur
pose of handling 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. 1t will
depend primarily upon the tota
amount Of debts outstanding as O.
tie close Of the taxable year, those
arising currently as well as those
arising in prior taxable years, and
thu total amount of the existing
reserve. In cas- subsequent realiza-
lions 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 exist.

gan" won against the State, in it's
futile effort to make him pay the
expense of his recapture. In this
sweeping decision, the Supreme
Court of North Carolina reversed
a previous decision of the lower
court, which sought to make the
prisoner pay the bill. At this time,
the State even took Giligan's auto
mobile, sold it under a court order
for something over 5000 and judy
ment was entered against him for
that amount, minus a personal
property exemption of $500. All
this was reversed in the higher
courts action.
The court contended that the
State was not in the same category
as a private individual, who had
been compelled to pay out money
because of the wrongful conduct Of
another. Giligan's capture was a
public duty required by law and
while his flight was contrary to the
will OF the State, the expenditure
Tor his recapture was voluntary.
Quoting several excerpts from
the comments of the presiding
Judge: mo crime against the sover-
eighty Of the State, violates any of
its property rights" SIN point of
legal logic, the defendants yen for
the open spaces and his needing to
the call of the wild, was rather the
occasion than the cause of the
expenditure"
