Your STANDARD Of Living

regarding restaurant prices is
that no more than a 15 per cent
increase in prices since Jan. l.
19<1, should be permitted and no
decrease in quantity or quality
of food served be tolerated.
Since the Little Steel formula
only allows US a Is per cent IN
crease in wages since Jan. l,
1941, nothing could be fairer
than this.
You can help us enforce this
program. Anyone who has any
old menus or proof of prices

any establishment which has
since raised their prices beyond

Oh Dear! Believe
II or Not

MO, July 13.-Although the
leaning tower of Pisa remains a
mystery to this day, assistant dis
trict supervisor Mike Summers of
the conservation department has
"believe-it-or-not" explanation
for the leaning tool shed of Os-
coda County"
Superintendent Summers relates
that Ted Barlow built the tool shed
during the fall and winter and used
calcium chloride in the concrete for
the foundation. In the spring, deer,
in an attempt to get the salt out
of the foundation, dug a three-foot
trench around the wall, w h h
caused the foundation to cave in
and the building to settle.
This strange building, which
stands in field in Oscoda County,
tipped to a As degree angle, and
the stranger story of its origin
continues to intrigue visitors to
the area.

/. The new "pay-as-you-go" or
20 per cent withholding tax is not
a new tax or an additional tax but
a new method of collecting your
income tax. The new law does not
change income tax rates.
2. Under the old system you
paid income tax a year late on
money you earned the previous
year. Under the new "pay-as-you-
go" method you pay income tax
on 1943 income during 1943, bit by
bit, pay day by pay day.
3. The new tax goes into effect
July /, 1943, and all payrolls be-
ginning on or after July /, 1943,
are subject to the new law.
A. Every employee should i'm

Exemption Certificate and file
with his employer. This exemption
certificate will tell whether you
are married or single and how

gross pay.
5. Exemptions are $1,000 for
the taxpayer, another $1,000 for a
wife, and $500 each for children.
In the case of married man
with three children, exemptions
would total $4,000. If the taxpay-
er's wage was $1,000 per week, he
would pay 20 per cent tax on

$3.50.

BY Clayton Rusch,

Chairman of Food Price Control
of Local IL, UAW-CIO.
In addition to the open rises in
prices of food products, there
are numerous ways in W h C h
prices are increased in a hidden
manner.
The main form of concealed
price rises is quality deteriora-
ton. While there is no actual in
crease in price, the quality of
the article is poorer than before.
In many cases, bread is made
with less and poorer ingredients
and sold for the same price. In
the case of meat, you now very
often pay for the fat and bone
which used to be trimmed away.
A second method of hidden
price increases is the appearance
on the market of supposed new
brand of food, while an old brand
disappears. For example, certain
brands of soup and coffee have
disappeared from the market to
be replaced by new brands made
by the same respective companies
and sold at higher price.
These disguised price rises in
crease the cost of living to the
consumer just as much as the
open price rises.
The restaurants use both the
open and hidden method of price
rises. In the case of open price
rises, the cost of meals in res
taurants have skyrocketed in the
last year and a half as much as
100 per cent in some cases and
less than so per cent in very few
cases. The hidden price rise is
used extensively in restaurants
also. This consists of cutting
down the portions and cutting
out certain items while still
charging the same prices.
Some establishments which
used to serve desserts, side dish
es and salads have cut these,
but the price remains the same.
GRADE LABELLING
The proposal of the UAW-
CIO regarding hidden price rises
in food products is the establish
ment of grade labelling, which is
being so vigorously opposed by
the food industrialists.

Withholding Tax Law

gate deductions from all employ
ees, $4,000 or more each month,
he will deposit that money monthly
in a bank which will turn it over
to the Treasury of the United
States. In either event, this
money stands to the taxpayers
credit as prepayment Of income
tax. The employers will not with
hold the five per cent victory tax
after the last payroll that begins
in June, 1913. All payrolls begin
ming on or after July /, 1943, are
subject to the new law, and the
victory tax is included in the 20
per cent withheld.
8. Employers are permitted to
use the "wage bracket tables"
which are written in the law set
ting out definite amounts to be
withheld each pay day. For ex-
ample, in the case of a married
employee with three dependents
whose weekly wage is anywhere
between $4,000 and $4,000, the en-
ployer is permitted to withhold
the flat amount of $3.50 per week
instead of requiring him to figure
the exact amount for each indi-
vidual employee. The amount of
tax withheld may be slightly diff
ferent from an exact computation
at 20 per cent, but if a little less
than the actual 20 per cent is with
held, the taxpayer may have
small balance to pay March 15. If
the Withholding is a trifle more
than the exact 20 per cent, the
employee will have a credit coming
to him March 15.
9. For a majority of taxpayers,
that is people with incomes upon
which tax amounts to $1,000 or
less for either 1912 or 1943, the
whole tax for the smaller year
would be forgiven.
10. Shortly after the close Of
the year, or with the last pay If
you stop working before the end
IF the year, your employer is re-
quired to give you a receipt show
ing the total amount of tax de-
Quoted and withheld from your
pay during the year. If the
amount withheld during the year
owed, any overpayment of taxes
amounts to more than the tax
will be refunded or credited. II
you change employment, your en-
ployer is required to give you a
receipt showing the total amount
Of tax withheld with your last pay.
IL. There is no withholding tax
from the pay of ~ personnel Of
the armed services, (2) ministers
Of the gospel, (3) all persons en-
gagged in domestic service, and a.
all persons engaged in agricultural
service. These people will be re-
quired to pay their income tax out
Of their current income by filing a
return showing their estimated
tax, and pay such tax quarterly.

ABSENTEE CONGRESS

1t gripes me to see Congress vote
itself a two-month vacation with
pay) after all the baloney it has
been singing around for the past
six months about absenteeism.
1t doesn't make any difference
to the workers whether Congress
takes vacation or not. In fact, we
would just as soon see most of
them take a permanent vacation;
but the idea of that bunch of
bloated politicians giving US hell
about absenteeism and trying TO
make a mountain out of molehill
and then becoming the champion
absentees of the war is a dandy.
Personally, / think Congress Is
worth more to labor when it's away
from Washington than when it's
there, and all l need do to prove it
is to point to the mith-Connally
bill and few other specimens of
its pig-headedness and you'll know
what / mean.
With Congress sitting under a
shade tree and slipping mint juleps
and other drinks from now until
the middle of September, we can
breathe easy; but, and this is big
but, we can still put a lot of these
congressman on a permanent vaca-
tion by going to the Board of Elec-
tions, 217 Superior St., and regis
