Your Income Tax
Third In a Series of Articles
Prepared BY the Bureau of
Internal Revenue
PERSONAL EXEMPTION

Every individual is allowed a credit
against his net income which varies
with his domestic status, that is,
whether he is (a) a single person,
(b) married person living with hus-
band or wife, or (c) head Of family.
This credit is known as personal ex-
emption, and is shown on line q of
the return Form 1910. The amount of
the personal exemption also varies
depending upon the period during
which the taxpayer occupied the par
ticular exemption status.
The personal exemption for a single
person is $500 for the year; for a .
married person living with husband /
or wife, $780, and for a ''head of
family" $1,000. personal exemption |

Taxpayers using a Simplified Re

Backs Roosevelt
For Fourth Term

By declaring that President
Roosevelt was the Outstanding
figure" around whom the Amer
lean people can rally for a war OF
unconditional surrender against
the Axis, the convention went on
record as being the first major
union to endorse our commander
in-chief for another term
This was one of the highlights
of the UE parley which included
the passage of more than three
score resolutions dealing with the
fight against race discrimination,
for economic sterilization, unity
of the United Nations and on
many other issues of social and
political importance.
Questions affecting directly the
welfare of the UE's membership,
as well as those of workers gen.
orally, received the most con-
structive and practical considera-
ton, precisely because they were
closely linked to the general win
the-war detectives. Thus, incen-
tive wages were approved and
the officers of the union were
commended for developing a pol
icy to safeguard and guarantee
rates as well as bonuses for day
workers commensurate with in
creased earnings of incentive
workers in the same shops, main
tenance of the no-strike pledge
and a call for international labor
unity was discussed and adopted.
Defeatists, spreaders of anti
Soviet or anti British poison were
denounced as fifth columnists.

Meeting at a moment when the

There is no denying that the

Stock Prices Steady
Despite Further
Profit-1aking

NEW YORK, July 1.-THE stock
market today emerged from a gen.
orally successful week on solid
ground despite further profit TAX
Ing on the recent rise to best aver
age levels in nearly four years.
Throughout the six-session stretch
the main buying inspiration stemmed
from the exceptionally cheering war
news, with the Allied sweep into
Sicily high-lighted along with the
Russian thrust at the Nazis and
further victorious swings in the Far
Pacific. In addition, Washington
rumblingS failed to dim the imitation
idea to any great extent and the
pressure of idle investment funds
continued to offset such liquidation
as appeared from forces in Wall
Street that had turned a bit more
beariSh.
The list had its best inning Tues
day, when the rails confirmed bull
market chart precedents by emulat-
ing the utilities and industrials and
going into new high territory since
October 6. 1887. From then on,
though, skeptics began to tighten
accounts and convert accumulated
increment to cash, the theory being
that chances of tumble on un-
toward happenings had grown con-
siderably. A last-minute break oc-
Cured Thursday. although there
were no outstanding developments
to blame. Steadier tendencies ruled
thereafter.
Bidders switched from group to
group, peace stocks, on the whole,
being favored. Earnings prospects,
congressional hopes and other fac
tors aided selected utilities, air
| transports, coppers, oils and special
ties. Soft drink issues, in particu-
lar, exhibited burst of strength on
the outlook for expanding sugar
supplies.

and on the week showed a net ad-
