puting any type of formal income tax
return. 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

Important Notice
To Used Car Deiders
This is to notify aH car dealers and
anyone who- wishes to huy or sell a
.car, that two things are absolutely
necessary In order to avoid delay in
getting a gasoline ration for any car
transferred from one person to an
other. 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.
