9TH WAR LOAN

Workers Assigned To Every

Surrounding Country
HELP DEFEAT ENEMY

H. c. Jones, chairman of the
Bond Drive for this district, said
today that the next bond drive
would officially open on Monday,
November Goth and close Decem-
ber 10th. The chairman stated
that the quota for the district was
S143,000. The quota has been re-
duced somewhat and it is hoped
that it will be oversubscribed this
time. The Treasury Department
is calling attention to all citizens
that there are various Govern
mental issues to meet the needs of
every individual, and it is the hope
of the Kent County War Finance
Committee that our quqota will be
met promptly. Mr.. Jones, empha-
sized however, if this district is 60
ing to oversubscribe its quota it
would be necessary for some indi-
viduals to invest in rather large
denominations of bonds, rather
than the S25 or $50 issues. Street
chairman will call at the various
homes and places of business. Re-
member, you are not giving your
money, youa re simply investing it
in "the best investment on earth,"
with interest at the stipulated rate.

than half his support, therefore
has three surtax exemptions-one
for himself, one for the son, and
one for the mother. His adjusted
gross income is $500; the mother
has no income. The fathers tax,
if he uses the optional table. is
S435. The son, having less than
$500 income, files no return and
paws no tax. However. IL the boy
had earned 81 more. the father
would have lost the surtax credit
for him, and his tax would have
been $541-$106 more.
Minors whose earnings have been
subject to withholding. but who
have no tax to pay. apparently can
obtain refunds only by filing re-
turns.

pense allowance or a reimburse

years, this credit was allowed
against both the normal tax and
the surtax; but under the present
law it is allowed against the sur
tax only. The cid limitation (that
the dependent must be under
eighteen years OF age or incapable
of self-support) no longer exist.
So taxpayers with large families
will benefit, as will those with
Youngsters in college, and one OF
the Iong-standing injustices OF
prior laws disappears. The preV1-
GUS law required that any change
in status during the year must be
pro-rated. The present law does
away with this, and a baby born
on December 31st is as big a tax
asset as the one born in the pre-
ceding January.

a minor be included in the income
