# You Plan a Public Parry
Better Study Your Tax Law

THE STATE OF CONFUSION
is a popular place these days
with regard t. taxes, but not
such a wise place. The admis-
sions tax. which became effec-
tive last October I. Is being mis-
interpreted or blithely ignored
by many Mount Clemens organ
izations. To Clarity the situation:
If your organization gives .
public party, for which tickets
are sold, or admissions taken at
the door, you must pay the fed
eral government . tax of one
cent for every 10 cents, or por-
ton thereof, Of admission paid at
the door, or tickets turned in.
That means if your tickets are
Is cents each. you must pay
three cents tax. for each ticket
turned in at the door. II the
tickets were only 20 cents the
tax would be two cents; II they
are 35 cents, the government
gets four cents tax.
This tax applies regardless Of
what the proceeds are to be used
for-church. charity, Red Cross,
or personal ACKNOWLEDGMENT.
Many times persons buy
tickets for an event and never
attend it. Proceeds from such
ticket sales are considered con-
tributions and are not taxable.
CLUBS RESPONSIBLE
The organization giving the
party is held responsible for
turning in the tax. Failure 50 to
do invokes q So penalty, per
month to $50 maximum, plus
interest on tax at the rate Of 8 q
per year, which goes on happily
piling up from the time you
gave that party until you pay for
1t. And that mounts up!
Thus, II you gave q dessert
bridge on Oct. 10, for example.
and 30 persons were present
having each paid IS cents for
his ticket, the tax on each ticket
is 4 cents. Total tax IL $500,

Mrs. RooseveIt's Critics
Assailed by La Guardia
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK. Feb. 16.-Mayor La
Guardia asSailed critics of Mrs.
Eleanor Roosevelt's civilian defense
activities yesterday by declaring that
while some mistakes had been made
they do not merit the criticism
that has been heaped upon Mrs.
Roosevelt"
AS former chief OF the o. C. D.,
Mayor La Guardia asserted that the
achievements Of the Office had been
overlooked in the furry of criticism.
No one had done more than Mrs.
Roosevelt, he said, in bringing to
the attention of Americans the
need for volunteer services.
Mayor La Guardia praised the
work of civilian volunteers at the
fire which toppled over the former
French liner Normandie, but de-
clared that henceforth air raid
wardens and other volunteers should
not leave their posts for disaster
points unless so ordered.
