This will be done by a change in .the withholding levy against wages and salaries which will allow the de duction of a taxpayer’s full tax liabili ty if he does pot earn more than 15,000 a year. The change Ip the withholding figure will not take place until next Jabuary 1. An Mtimated 20 million persons still will be required to file some type of return. Ten million of these are persons who earn less than $5,000 a year but who have income from some sources other t^n wages and salaries. They will use a simple form containing a table which will compute their tax for them without unnecee- aary calculations. The remaining 10 million taxpayers—those with incomes over $5,000 a year—will fill out a regular income tax return, but Jt will be almpler j. tlun the present “long formal’ npw in'use. Generally the bill d,oe8 not change tax burdens to any extent. Some tax payers, of course, will think they ars paying more because of the additionaf deductions from their pay which will be mad^ starting next year. This simply will relieve them, though, ^f the necessity of paying extra amounts during hte' year or at the ehd of the year to settle up their account with the Internal Revenue bureau. A some what larger tax Is levied against single persons and couples without children. Under the new bill the normal tax rate will be reduced from the present six per cent to three per cent. The victory tax, which now has to be figured separately in making out an Income tax return, will be eliminated altogether. The aurtax rate, which now begins at 13 per cent and steps up on each $3,000 of income, will be raised to take care of the reduction in the-aoraaal tax and-the eliminatioiT the victory tax. This rate under the new law will begin at 20 per cent In stead of IS per cent. ‘ Instead of figuring all poasible de ductions—auch aa contributions, etc.— a taxpayer who makes leqs than $5,000 a year may simply claim an allowed standard deduction of $600 If this figure Is larger than his actual de- ducttons. Investigation The House has voted to conduct an Investigation Into the seixnre by the Government of the Montgomery-Ward properties in Chicago. This seizure is gol^ to be argued all over the couu' try for t|ie next little while by those who hold that the wartime emergency provided sufficient authority for the tact as opposed to those who are con cerned about the grave constitutional queationa invtdved. It is extremely unfortunate that such a matter should have to occupy the attention of the SOT.

Before a car is sold the "A" gasoline book and any supplementary ration issued for that car should be surrendered to the Rationing board and a receipt. Form R-5$9. should be obtained. This receipt and the tire record idiould be turned over to the new owner of the car, who then pre sents them to the Rationing board in order to have gasoline issued in his name. This regulation has been In effect since January 1. 1944, but some few dealers are still careless in han dling these matters,, thereby inflicting a hardship on the Innocent purchaser of the cAr.
