Your Income Tax
PERsONAL EXEMPTIONS.


 In addition to the personal ex- emption of $1,000 for single per- sons and $2,500 for married. per- sons living together and for heads of families, Q taxpayer Is entitled to credit of $400 for each de- pendent, defined by income tax law and regulations as- 0 person under IS years of age or incapable of self-support because mentally or physically defective. The term "mentaily or physically defective' means not only cripples and those mentally defective but persons in III health and the aged.
 In order to be entitled to the $40O credit, the taxpaper must furnish the dependent his or her chief support. The credit isy based upon actual financial dependency and not mere legal dependency. For example, a father whose chill dren receive. half or more of their support from trust fund or other separate source Is not entitled to the credit.
 Neither relationship nor resi- dence are factors in the allowance of the .S400 credit for depend- ent. The taxpayer and the depend- ent may be residents of different cities. If husband and wife both contribute to the support of de- pendent, the $400 credit may be taken by one contributing the chief support. and may not be divided between them.
 A single person who supports in his home an aged mother Is en- titled not only to the s400 credit for Q dependent, but also to the personal exemption of $2.500 as the head of Q family. A widower supporting under similar circum- stances a dependent child under IS years of age is entitled to the personal exemption of $2,5O0 as the head of family. plus the $40O credit for a dependent.
 Under the revenue act of 1932 both the personal exemption and the credit for dependents are re- quired to Do prorated where the status of the taxpayer changed during the year.

 Cross was addressing members of the general assembly who are farmers.

 "'When Columbus set sail for America he didn't know where he was going; when he got there he didn't know where he was, and when he returned to Spain he didn't know where he had been.

All this was quite afar from ideas which
earlier had been held by members Of the COM
mittee appointed in 1776. That committee,
comprised of Benjamin Franklin, John Adams,
and Thomas Jefferson, three Of the fve mem
bers of the groups to which the task Of draft
ing the Declaration of Independence had been
assigned, suggested designs which fell by the
wayside long before final adoption Of the seal.
Their suggestions hold high interest however.
because they reveal the impressions of the
United States created in the minds of three
men who were leaders in the Nations forma
ton.
John Adams idea of the design best suitee
to be a symbol of the new country Is outlined
in letter written to his wife on August II,
l776. He wrote, in part, as follows:
II proposed the choice of Hercules, as en-
graved by Gribelin, in some editions Of Lord
Shaftesbury's words The hero resting his
club Virtue pointing to her rugged mountain
on one hand and pursuading him to ascend.
Sloth, glancing at her flowery paths Of pleasure.
But this is too complicated q group
for seal or medal and it is not original"
A note by Franklin, setting forth his pro-
posal, reads follows: ..,
Moses standing on the shore. and extending
his hand over the sea- thereby causing the
in an open chariot a crown On his head and
a sword in his hand. Rays from a pillar of
fire in the clouds reaching to Moses to express
that he acts by command of the Diety."
Jefferson's note carried a variation of this
last suggestion:

The seal is applied to no document until
the Presidents signature has been afnxed. In
the strictest regard, that signature simply il
a warrant for attachment Of the seal.
Nowatimes, the seal is affixed to approx
mately 200 state papers during the four-year
course of a presidential administration. This
rather extensive use coupled with the fact that
reproduction Of the seal be discouraged
but not punished has served to spread famili-
arity witte the design across the country.
THE Official description Of the design Is

INVENTION BRICHTENS PROSPECTS FOR
 SALMON BANNERS, HALFERTY DECLARES
Seattle Post-Intelligencer. )


 Northwest salmon packers, with the marketing of the 1883 pack, will enjoy a decided advantage ov- CT the canners of foreign countries, according to G. F. Hafferty, head of the food products firm bearing his name, as the result of the in vention of machine which will economically remove the scales and skin.
 The machine incidentally, is the invention of Hafferty and w. F. Sclothan of Ketchikan and pat ents covering it's design have been applied for.
 Hafferty declared that the in- yention comes at time when for eign packers are making serious inroads on the Northwest's great industry and will be of material help to American canners in their fight to regain supremacy in the domestic market which has been flooded with foreign canned sal- mon and sold at prices consider ably below those at which the Northwest's product can be retil- ed.
 The machine has capacity to skin "a fish minute,' according to its inventors and does its work without damage to the meat.
 "The advantage Of skinned sal- mon can be realized. Halferty ex- plained, when it is remembered that its appearance will be i'm proved and the quality bettered by the fact that the meat will not have the flavor imparted by the skin and scales
 Another advantage is that tht machine will not work on any bu fresh, firm, fish, insuring the high est quality to the consumer. Thess ! Ihetterments are bound to react ir favor of the American canner."
