Taxpayers Put On Current Basis Through New Collection
System; Tax To Be Withheld After July /; Workers
Must File Exemption Certificates With Employers
Pay Exempt from Withholding

From your Exemption Certificate,
the employer determines the amount
of tax to be withheld from your pay.
For single persons the amount exempt
from tax is $12 week, or 1924 year.
For married couples, the exemption is
$24 week, or $1248 year. This ex-
emption can be divided between hus-
band and wife if both are working, or
the whole thing taken by either one, in
which case the other spouse cannot
claim any of it. For each dependent
there is an additional exemption of $6
week, or 1912 year.
Do not confuse these exemptions
with your basic income tax exemption.
They are used only to calculate the
amount to be withheld.
Here are three examples of how it
works out. John Smith, single man,
is making $37 week. Of that, $12 is
exempt. The other $25 is subject to
withholding at 20%o. Thus the amount
withheld from each weeks pay is SIS.
George Jones is married, has three
children, is earning $50 week. His
exemptions are $24 for himself and
wife, Sc for each of the three children,
a total of $42. Only So of his weekly
pay is subject to Withholding, so
Jones' employer will deduct only $1.60
a week.
James and Sarah Brown are both
working. They have dependents at
home. They elect to divide the mar
ried couple exemption of $24 equally
between them so that each has $12 a
week free of Withholding. Since James
furnishes the chief support for the
dependents, he may take $24 week
for dependents, making his total ex-
emption $36 week before the 209o
is withheld. If James alone were
working, he would claim the entire
exemption of $24 and $24 for the
dependents, or total of $48 a week
exempt from withholding.
A word of warning here. 1t is quite
possible that the amount withheld
from your pay will not be exactly, to
the penny, 2O%o of your pay above
your withholding exemption. You may
find that the tax withheld will be a
trife more, or a trife less.
Employees should understand that
this is because the law allows employ
ers to withhold the tax in accordance
with "Wage Bracket Tables" These
tables set definite amounts to be with
held from each pay. For example, in
the case of married employees with
three dependents, whose weekly wage
is anywhere between fifty and sixty
dollars, the employer is authorized to
withhold flat amount of $3.50 per
week, instead of requiring him to
figure the exact amount for each in
dividual employee.
The law grants the employer this

"PAY-AS-YOU-GO" INCOME
TAX BECOMES LAW

fly his job of computing the amount to
from an exact computation at 209o.
What Happens To Money Withheld
Tax money withheld from wages is
paid by the employer to the United
States Treasury. The amount withheld
from you stands to your credit at the
Treasury against the amount you owe
on Income and Victory Tax. At the
end of the year, or at termination of
employment during the year, your
employer will give you certificate
stating the amount of wages he has
paid you during the year and the
amount of tax he has withheld. Keep
this. 1t is your tax receipt.
On or before March Is, 1914, you
will be required to file, in the usual
manner, your income tax return show
ing your actual income for 1913, and
figuring in the usual deductions and
credits. The tax withheld by your en-
ployer, both before and after July l,
1943, the income tax installments you
paid March Is and June Is, and any
tax you may have already paid in ad-
dition to the above mentioned pay
ments will be shown on the return as
credits. In other words, you will add
up the tax payments you made on
March Is and June Is, 1943, plus the
total amount that has been already
withheld for Victory Tax purposes, as
well as the amounts withheld from
your pay since July l by the With
holding Tax, plus any other amounts
you may have paid on September Is
and December Is. If the total comes to
more than your liability, the Govern
ment will credit you with the differ
ence against the next years tax pay
ments. If it comes to less, you will
pay the difference.
Why We Have the Withholding Tax
There is no doubt that the country
as a whole welcomes this method of
Income Tax payment, which let's peo-
pie pay their taxes in small frequent
installments corresponding to their
regular pay periods, and which lets
people pay this years taxes "as-they-
go" out of this years wages. 1t is
easier to pay this way than to have
be withheld for each individual work
er. In any case, where "Wage Bracket
Tables" are used, the amount of tax
withheld will be only slightly different
to save up part of each pay for de-
layed quarterly or annual payment.
Withholding brings tax money into
the Federal Treasury faster, now
when it is needed to pay for the war.
1t should help us in our fight against
| il fation.
Members of Organized Labor and
wage-earners in general should rea-
lie that the new method of collecting
taxes has not increased the tax bur-
den. 1t has, however, lightened this
burden by distributing it over an en-
tire year.
1t can be repeated that "It Takes
Both Taxes and War Bonds" to
fight and win the war. Enlightened
self-interest and the call of patriotism

Here's Easy Way To Make A 1NOSebleed Stop Itself

the small bleeding vessel, stopping the flow of blood. The nose should not be blown, because doing so would tend to dislodge the clot and bleeding would be resumed. One should remain at rest for a short time to keep the blood pressure down and avoid any nasal activity until the clot in the vessel is well established.
 SOME ARE SERIOUS
 A minority of nosebleeds are persistent and imply some signi- ficant change such as hardening of the arteries. or increase in the pressure of the blood, tumors in the nose, scurvy due to lack of vi- tamin c, or changes in the blood like purpura, or severe infections in the nose.
 If nosebleed persists, one should take it to a physician. He will in- spect the site of the bleeding and determine the exact cause. The blood vessel may then be collapsed by the pressure of a sterile gauge pack, or cauterized by various chem ical escharotics.
 In these cases the underlying pathology must also be corrected and in those past middle age, this symptom (nosebleed) may simply serve warning that Apprehension exists and a medical management should be adopted to correct the fundamental change.
