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

Two revenue raising ideas were re

be taxed at the source.

1940 than in 1939.
Reckless driving, which the engin

dents. Of the 609 killed, th» big
total of 178 were pedestrians. The

FOR PERFECT REFRIGERATION
USE ICE!
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.
