Children Pay Penny Poll Tax
To Vote in School Election
Pupils Abide by Virginia Lows in
Casting BuIot for Student President

because she personally did not be-
lieve in the poll tax and thought
the school was doing a little propa-
ganda in its behalf. The little girl
was unhappy, too, because she didn't
want to be excluded from any Of the
school activities, and her mother
had refused to give her the tax
money.
Il believe we explained to the
parents satisfaction that we weren t
operating a propaganda machine in
the interest of the Virginia poll tax
law, but were only teaching citizen
ship according to the laws Of the
land" Miss Howdershell said, "and
I believe the little girl got her
vote after. all.''
This years elections at the school
were particularly heated, with four
in the field for the presidency OF
the student body. One Of the can
didates, Marx Friedlander, who won
the student government presidency,
even went 50 far rs to have posters
stenciled urging the children to
support him for office. Speeches
were made by all aspiring candidates.
Children Run Own Show.
"The children at the school run
their own show" Miss Howdershell
explained, "and the money collected
from the poll tax Is used In con-
nection with the various student
activities"
Those who are running the school
this year with Mark Friedlander are
Phyllis Birch, vice president; Geral-
dine Birelin, secretary, and Sue
Peter, treasurer. In addition, each
room in the school will elect rep
resentattve to the student govern
ment council.

TOUT Income Tax
No. 34 DEDUCTION FOR TAXES

In general, taxes are deductlble only by the person upon whom they are imposed.
 Taxes on real estate and personal property paid during the year 194l are deductible. So-called taxes which are assessed against local benefits, such as streets, sidewalks, drainage, and other like improvement, are not deductible but are to be capitalized, as they tend to increase the value of the property and thus constitute cost of a permanent improvement. The Federal income tax may not be deducted Income tax, however, paid to the State by an individual on his income is an allowable deduc- ton in his Federal income tax re- turn.
 Customs duties paid by a person on>articles imported for his own use are deductible as taxes, provided they are not added to ard made a part of the expenses of the business or the cost of the articles or mer- chandise with respect to which they are paid, in which case they cannot be deducted separately as a tax. The purchaser may not deduct the Federal tax of 10 per cent on the retail sale of jewelry, furs, and toilet preparations. The Federal tax of l cent for each 10 cents or fraction thereof paid for admission to any place is deductible, provided an account has been kept by the taxpayer of the amount paid. Taxes on club dues are deductions by the member paying them. An individual may deduct the tax in his telephone conversations, radio messages, telegrams, and cables and on the rent of his safe-deposit box Unemployment compensation con- tributions required under 8 State law, if officially classified as taxes. are deductible as taxes and not as business expenses.
 The excise taxes imposed upon employers by the Social Security Act, as amended, are deductible, but the tax imposed on employees by that Act is not deductible. If an employer pays such tax for the employees, the amount may be de- ducted by the employer as a busi- ness expense, and the employees are required to report as additional in- come in their Federal income-tax returns the amounts of the tax so paid for them.
 License fees exacted by State or city upon certain businesses are deductible as taxes. Automobile li- cense fees are ordinarily taxes and deductible. Postage is not tax and is not deductible.
 Federal, state and gift taxes and State inheritance, estate, legacy, or succession taxes are not deductible. The Federal taxes on automobiles, gasoline, cigarettes, and liquor are imposed upon the manufacturer producer, or importer, and are not deductible by the purchaser or con- sumer. Whether or not the gaso- line tax, the use tax, or the sales tax levied by Q State may be de- ducted by the individual purchaser depends upon the terms of the State law imposing the tax; consequently the right to the deduction, as be- tween pudchaser and seller, varies in the different States.
