IT'S NO PROBLEM
UNDER $1,000

Disputes over taxes in the
less than $1,000 bracket don't
cause much fuss. The sum IN
volved Is small. and mostly a
deputy can get things settled
by making call on the tax
payer and having chat It's IN
the over-S5.000 bracket that
things really happen.
First of all. the returns are
checked for obvious mathemat-
zeal errors and mistakes in COM
putting the amount OF tax due.
You might be surprised to learn
that a great many citizens pay
more than they need tor try
to pay it. anyhow. They're al
ways set straight, painiessly.D
The returns in which errors
are found 60 to revenue agents
in the field These agents. who
are primarily auditors, check
through the returns again. and
the taxpayer is called IN. Often
enough, an adjustment can be
made right away. II If the
agent finds a deficiency in the
tax and the taxpayer can't see
it that way-then the field
agents superior calls a confer
ence of agent and taxpayer and
another attempt to reach an
agreement is made.
If the taxpayer still feels that
he isn't getting justice, he may
appeal from these findings to the
technical staff; and here is
where the Importance of the
technical staff comes in. For
in most cases the sum at stake is
comparatively small-a hundred
dollars or so. When the technical
staff was in Washington, the
taxpayer who wanted to appeal
to it had to come down here
to do the appealing; chances
were it would cost him more to
do that than he would save by
Wlnuipo his case

Ordinarily. most income tax
disputes are settled BY the tech

Income tax returns are al
ready starting TO come IN, but
for the present they are simply
being divided INTO two piles
returns on incomes under $4,000,
and returns on incomes over
that amount. When the March

CATTLE FIRMER
ON LIGHT RUNS

South st. Paul, Mimi, June 13,
1939-Cattle prices responded to re-
duced supplies this week, Federal
State Market News Service says.
Values ranged strong to Csc higher
than the close of last week. Most of
the upturn was based on supply
contraction which figured about rs
percent under last weeks deliveries
around the mid-western market
circle. Buyers resisted the advance
and on Tuesday were able to secure
some price concession in the case of
slaughter steers. Medium to good
yearlings and steers bulked at ST.
$4,000, with choice yearlings up to
$3.50 and best heavy steers at 1925.
Choice heifers brought $8.75-9.15,
most common to good heifers $3.50
$50. Beef COWS sold at $5.75-6.75
mainly, low cutter and cutters at
$4.50-5.50. Weighty sausage bulls
drew $6.50-6.75, common to medium
bulls under 1900 lbs. $5.50-6.25.
Vealers sold largely steady or $500
on choice vealers with bulk medium
to choice $6.5O-8.5O. Stockers were
strong to Csc higher, plain and
medium yearlings and calves go1
ing at $6.5O-S-OO medium white-fac-
ed stockers at $S.25.
A stronger trend In the hog mar
ket on Monday was short-lived.
Sellers were able to divert prices
upward slightly, on the strength Of
salable receipts that numbered less
than 5000 head. Supply volume re-
turned to normal on Tuesday, and
