Washington, Aug. 25.—Striving to increase the record-breaking $3,236,- 700,000 house-approved tax bill still further, the senate finance committee voted today to raise an estimated $350,000,000 of additional revenue by broadening the income tax base and changing the existing laws governing the so-called “community property” returns. The base-broadening proposal, ap proved 10 to 6, would lower existing income exemptions from $2,000 to $1,- 500 for married persons and from $800 to $750 for single individuals. Millions to (Be Affected DEATH: IN WAR, ON ROADS News & Courier. In the first World war, 2,085 South Oarolinaians of the armed forces lost their lives. In the years 1937, 1938, 1939, and 1940, a total of 2,134 per sons lost their lives in traffic acci dents in South Carolina. This comparison is used in the 1941 edition of “Facts About Traffic Accidents in South Carolina”, pub lished annually by the traffic engin eering division of the State Highway department. The comparison is a vivid way of telling the terrible story of fatalities in the highways. Not only does this book, with an almost incredible as semblage of figures on accidents, tell a thought-provoking story of what its statistics dls The plan would bring approximate ly 7,000,000 additional persons under , has happened, but the federal income tax structure and close that conditions are not improv- would raise an additional $300,000,- ing in South Carolina., 000 annually, congressional tax ex-| The total of 609 persons who died perts estimated.

No Joint Returns The finance group agreed to post pone indefinitely consideration of a proposal approved by the ways and the state, as measured by the ujt« of gasoline, was 10 per cent heavier in 1940 than in 1939. Reckless driving, which the engin eers break down into numerous varie ties, was the chief cause of acci dents. Of the 609 killed, th» big total of 178 were pedestrians. The pedestrian problem is one that has the constant attention of the traffic engineers, but the toil of walke*« on the highways continues to increase.

There are a number of reasons why ice is the ideal refrigerant, principally among which is the fact that it is NATURE’S way of protecting your food and giving you cooling drinks, and no one has ever improved upon nature’s way of doing things. There is a vast difference between the old-fashioned Refrigerator and the modern Ice Refrigerator. If you have not seen one of the new models, you should certainly do so before you buy any kind of refrigera tor ... no upkeep expense . . . nothing to get out of fix . . . and a supply of pure, sparkling ice all the time.
