2 THB CLINTON CHRONICLE Thursday. June IS, 11 Strom Aurmond TO IDOOOOOtll .VXX N^-VWVXX'. DECEPTION IN SLOGANS The history of slogans almost ex actly parallels the history of adver tising. In present day usage, no other gimmick is a better and more used seller than the descriptive or catchword slogan Admittedly, the emotional or intellectual appeal of a slogan is illusive, but It undeniably exists. The sloganizing of legislative is- , sues is a relatively new develop- , ment Even major legislation in the Congress, prior to the advent of ra dio and television, was known for the most part to the pubbc at large after Rs passage. In post-war years, however, with the development of rapid communacataons and news media, the public has followed closely even some of the less im portant legislation before the Con gress. Since legislation has become a matter that is "a bm come, in numy cans, to turn on stag am * An example of the deceptivenem of the slogans on legislative iswes is one characterised by the phrase closing tax loopholes." From time * time there does develop, either through an oversight by the con gress in the passage of the act. or through court decisions constru ing the act, unintended and unjust results Unfortunately, however, the ase “loophole" is not so re stricted in its use, and is deceptive ly used to describe an intentional and purposeful feature of the tax law. A major example of die deception which arises from the use of the term, ‘tax loophole,' 'is that of the tax dividend credit and exclusion In 1954 when the Internal Revenue Code was revised, a provision was wTiuen into the law which provides that the first $50 of dividends re ceived by any individual is exclud able from taxable income, and therefore, not taxable In addition, a credit is allowed equal to 4% of the remaming dividend incomi. re ceived. subject to certain limRa ins. Since dividend income Is the only type of income which receovet such treatment, those who object to the purpose of this provision, or wish to make an appeal for votes of the general public in the full knowledge that those who receive drvidend in- J comes are unorganized, character ize their efforts to repeal the pro- visioo as one to “close a tax loop hole." The use of “tax loophole" is this connection is completely de ceptive. for the dividend tax credit and exclusion is not a loophole It was intentionally enacted for two reasons. The first reason was to promote the investment of private savings in i free enterprise ventures to provide additional jobs for our growing population. In most industries, an investment of thousands of dollars i is required to provide a job for one person This money can come only from private sources, and individ ual savings are the largest single source of these funds. The second reason lies in the very nature of the tax treatment of in come received from dividends. Divi dends ,by their definition, are paid by private corporations from the profits of the business which they conduct The profits of the corpora tion, however, are taxed prior to the payment of dividends, usually at a flat rate of 52%. When the dividends are paid to the stockhold ers, who have inveted their money in the corporation for Rs operation, the individual must pay personal income tax on these funds. It is ap parent, therefore, that the income. on wboh this so-called ‘favorable treatment" is given, has already been taxed once before the imposi tion of the tax on which the credit and exclusion is given. ‘ We are all aware that all ia not gold that glitters, and we should be equally aware that every tax treatment called a "loophole" is not a give-away.

The better blending qualities of evaporated milk insure creamy, smooth texture, and because evaporated milk is a concentrated form of m:lk. it enhances dishes with extra nu trients. A popular use of evap orated milk in the South is in combination with fish. Shrimp is a favorite, and the home ser vice department of the Carna tion Company has developed two delicious dishes featuring this shellfish.

It will bn too late to bn sorry if wn do not return to officn one of tha most skillful, devoted and kind law enforcement officials in South Carolina! Caldwell W. Wier, in his quiet end methodical way, has done many things for which ell Laurens County citizens should be grateful. We call attention to only e few of Ms outstanding accomplishments during the lest four years: (1) In a few hours after a Negro boy had killed a highly-respected lady at Owings Station, the youth was ar rested and confessed the crime. Although this was a most aggravated case, a lynching was avoided by the skillful handling of the case by Sheriff Wier. He has handled many other serious cases just as efficiently. (2) He has closed Floyd’s Barn, near Fountain Inn, a notorious beer joint and public nuisance. (3) He has closed Armstrong’s place, near Gray Court which was a den of iniquity and a crime incubator. I Since then he has personally and successfully, opposed the issuance of a beer license to a second appli- I cant in a hearing before a state official. I (4) He has closed the infamous Lake Thomas joint between Laurens and Clinton, the Durbin Hi-Note in Youngs Township on Highway 101 and the “Bloody Bucket" in Scuffletown Township. 1111
