would it not be well for us to

to the country from whence
they came?

Your Income Tax
No. 24-Depreciution part p

at a date prior to the end Of its
normal useful life so that deprecia-
ton deductions alone are insufficient
to return the cost or other basis, a
reasonable deduction for obSoles-
cence may be allowed in addition to
depreciation.
AS stated above, depreciation al
loWances are based upon the cost
"or other basis" If the property
was acquired by purchase after Feb
ruary %, 1913, the cost is the basis
If acquired by purchase prior to
March /, 1918, the basis is the cost
Of the property less depreciation
sustained prior to March l, 1913, or
the fair market value on March l,
1913, whichever is greater. If the
property was acquired by gift after
December 81, 1920, the basis is the
same as it would have been in the
hands of the donor or the last pre-
ceding owner by whom it was not
acquired by gift.
While land as stated above, is not
ordinarily depreciable. an allowance
corresponding to depreciation, known
as depletion, is permitted in the case
of mineral property from which
minerals dncluding OLD are being
extracted. In the case of certain
farming operations, requiring ex-
penditureS to maintain the produce
tivity of the soil, such as orchards,
where regular replanting must be
practiced, or farm land requiring
periodic clearing or drainage or ap-
plication Of fertilizer, depreciation
deductions to recover the sums eX-
pended may be permitted in accord
ance with the exhaustion of value, if
the amount SO expended in develop
ing the property for use is treated
as a capital expenditure.

/ The useful life" of a property, for
| Federal income tax purposes, is con-
sidered as its term of use for the
purpose designed. Complete exhaus-
ton of a property is not required
in estimating the annual deprecia-
ton, but if it possesses salvage
value at the end of the useful life,
this value must be taken into &C
count in determining the deprecia-
ton rate Thus, the useful life of
a rental building would be it's use
full rental life, though at the end
Of that period it may possess scrap
or salvage value which must be
taken into account. For the guild
ance of taxpayers, the Bureau of
Internal Revenue has prepared a
bulletin Bulletin F. setting forth
bureau practice in regard to de-
precia ton deductions and estimated
useful life of various types of
property.
After the estimated useful life of
the property has been determined,
the capital sum to be recovered may
be charged off over the period,
either in equal annual installments
or in accordance with any recog-
nized trade practice The amount
so charged off must be used to re-
duce the cost plus any additions
and betterments) or other basis

the property is subsequently sold
Or exchanged, that reduced basis
becomes the adjusted basis for
determining the gain or loss on
the sale or exchange.

cause Of economic or other condi-
lions, property must be abandoned

jeep, took up a position and the We

The convoy proceeded to Port

fighting in the North African land

around winding roads through the
hills. Soldiers, not knowing whom
they guarded. were stationed along
the road at regular intervals. Every
pass, every bridge was guarded bv
armed soldiers who had taken their
stand many hours before.
The convoy proceeded to the re-
view area, where troops were lined
up for at least mile in front of
their tanks, half-trackS. scout cars
and artillery Of all sizes and calibers
The convoy stopped and the Presi-
dent mounted his jeep. which, after
a band had played the National
Anthem, drove slowly in front of
the soldiers.
Mr.. Roosevelt's Secret Service
bodyguards, wearing armored corps
battle Jackets, walked by the sides
of his jeep.
Most Of the troops were lined up
beside the road under eucalyptus
trees. Other units were stationed on
the horizon guarding the area.
The President occasionally laughed
and joked with the generals accom-
panying him. Several times he spoke
to the men. Mostly he appeared
deadly serious.
The reviewing party passed into
an open field swept by brisk wind,
and the President laughed when his
hat blew off. 1t was caught by Gen.
