No. IA THE WITHHOLDING TAX

In l943. for the first time, Federal income taxes of individuals were col lected on "pay-as you-go" or cur- rent payment basis. Tn large part, this was effected through the with holding by employers of the taxes from wages of their employees.
 These collections were required to be paid monthly to a depositary and financial agent authorized by the Secretary of the Treasury to receive deposits of withheld taxes, or di- rectly to the collector of internal revenue. When the employers file their income and victory tax returns for 1943, on or before March Is, 1924, they may treat these withholdings as payments on their income tax li- ability and takc full credit for them. If the return shows that the total amount already collected is more than the tax shown as due, the over payment may be refunded or credit ed to the taxpayer, but 1t is less than the tax due. the difference will be payable by the taxpayer.
 This method of collecting tax at the source appliees to all employees except certain groups that are ex- empt by law, such as members of the armed forces in active groups that are exempt by law, such as members of the armed forces in active service, domestic servants, agricultural labor, and casual labor not in the course of the employers business. No with holding is required where United States citizens or residents render services to foreign government, nor where Che major part of services for a private employer are rendered out side of the United States.
 Nonresident aliens who reside in Canada or Mexico and work in the United States are subject to with holding. but if their work requires them to enter and leave this country at frequent intervals. as in the case of railroads, ferries, steamboats, and aircraft services, no withholding is required if the employe files an ex- emption certificate with his employ CT.
 Fees paid by the public to public officials are exempt rom withhold ing. as is the compensation received by ministers of the gospel for serv- ices which are ordinarily the duties of Q minister Ministers engaged in teaching or other occupations where the services required are not ordin- arily the duties of e minister. or where the employees are not limited to ministers serving under the auth ority of a religious body constituting a church or church denomination, are subject to withholding.
 Withholding does not apply to persons who are in business for themselves.
 The amount which the employer is required to withhold depends on the family status of the employe, on the amount of his wages or salary, and on the amount of the personal ex- emption claimed by the employe for withholding purposes. The employe furnishes his employer with q state munt showing his marital status the number of his dependents. end the

'CIO Mixes
 On GIVotinq

washington, Jan. 20-upl-The CTO political action committee pressed . last-minute drive today to mobilize support for federal sol dier-vote legislation as the con- troversial issue came Q step close to House showdown.
 Sidney Hillman, chairman of the committee, appealed for support for a federal plan in telegrams to Wen dell Willkie and Governors Thonl- as E. Dewey of New York and John W. Bricker of Ohio, prominent prospects for the l944 Republican presidential nomination.
 Hillman drew almost immediate response from Willkie, who said he favored federal soldier-vote legis- lation.
 q do not believe that it Is pos sible in a practical manner under states statutes for every member of the armed services to be given the opportunity to vote," Willkie said. q would not wish to be elected president of the United States with out every member of the armed services having an opportunity to vote to decide whether I should be-"
 House action on the issue ap- peared likely next week. Meanwhile, there were charges that the admin istration was trying to stall the elections committees states rights bill and therats of possible civil war" should returning serv- icemen find their political free dons" abridged.
 The "civil war" warning came from Kept. Ranulf Compton, R.. Conn.,, who accused the administar- ton of trying to destroy respect for Congress and bring us closer to the day when we shall have a complete breakdown of the system of traditional American govern ment."
 Let me warn all who for selfish reasons aid and abet in perpetrat- ing this New Deal scheme of things" he said, "that when the men come home from war if they find they have lost the political freedoms for which they have been fighting, it may take a civil war to tear out some exceSses deeply im- bedded by New Deal habit and cus- toms.'
 House Democratic Leader John W. Mccormack of Massachusetts, denied that the administration was holding back the bill passed by Q majority of the elections commit tee which left the voting problem to the states, and said it would reach the floor early next week.

Your Federal Income Tax

withholding Exemption Certificate is filed with the employer, he will be required to withhold on the gross wages, thus increasing the amount of the credit which the employe may report on his return as tax paid at the source.
 Tables are provided in the law which may be used by the employer to determinee the amount of tax to be withheld from wages, or he may make exact computations in each case. In general, the tax withheld is 20 percent of the excess of each payment of wages over the family status withholding exemption, or 3 percent of the excess over the vic- tory tax withholding exemption, whichever tax is the greater. The use of the tables is optional with the employer. and he may use them for all employees or for any one or more employe where their use is more convenient for him than the exact computation method.
 The withholding of income taxes applies to remuneration for serv- ices performed" regardless of wheth- CT they are called salaries, wages. fees. bonuses, or commissions. Pen sions or retirement pay are, in gen. eral, wages subject to withholding, unless they are taxable as annuities Gas in the case of the Federal civil service retirement system and many retirement plans for teachers, police men, and firemen who have made payments from their salaries into the retirement fund. Annuities thus purchased are not wages and are not subject to withholding. When wages gre paid wholly or partly in items other than cash. as stocks. bonds, food and lodging, etc. the withholding is based on the fair market value of such items at the time of payment.
 When payments to employees in- clude both remuneration for services and advances or reimbursement specifically for travelling or other ex- penses incurred by the employe in his employers business, withholding will not apply to the advances or reimbursement if the employer clearly segregates them from the amount representing payment for services. Any reasonable segregation may be made. as where the employer issues one check indicating separate ly thereon the amount of wages and the amount of expenses. or issues a separate check for the expenses. The employer may base this segregation on an itemized statement of ex- penses, furnished to him by the eEn- ploye, if the amounts shown are con- sidered by the employer to be rea- sonable. If no segregation is shown. withholding must be based on the gross amount of the payment in ex- cess of the applicable family status withholding exemption.
 The withholding tax represents no additional cost to the employe. and is not an additional tax. It is de- signed simply for the sake of con- venience-it allows the individual taxpayer the convenience of paying his income taxes in small install- ments every pay day instead Of in iqvge rssN tss"'s-s- ~.sf.

Stimson Tells
 u. s. Losses

Washington. Jan. 20 -. (UP) - American casualties in Italy from the original landing there in Sep tember to date total l9,2l0 Secre- tary of War Henry L. Stimson said | today.
 These included 2,s85 killed, l2.504 wounded, and 3,72l missing Stimson pointed out particularly the casualties Of the tooth Infantry battalion, composed of Americans of Japanese ancestry, largely from Hawaii. They performed very cred itably in heavy action in Italy. he said. and their losses to date have been 96 killed, 22l wounded, and l7 missing.
 A battalion ordinarily numbers slightly more than 1000 men so the Japanese American battalion prob- ably suffered casualties to about one third Of it's men.
 At his press conference Stimson also referred to the casualty situa- , ton in the South Pacific.
 Tn the Cape Gloucester area in New Britain. 3,100 dead Japanese have been counted while American losses there include 228 killed and 694 wounded, he said
 Stimson said reports from Great Britain indicated the three-way air raid January II on German fighter aircraft factories was even more successful than previously reported, Latest reports, he said, indicated that the Focke-Wulf factory at Oeschersleben was almost totally de- stroyed. the Junkers factory at Haberstadt from 40 to 70 per cent destroyed and the Messerschmitt factory at Brunswick was almost completely demolished.
 He said 1t seemed certain produc- tion at these factories was elimi- mated for a matter of months.

TAX RATE HERE
 RANKS EIGHTH
Listing Takes in 27 Cities With Population Between
 100000 to I25,OOO

waterbury's tax rate of 90 mills ranks eighth among twenty-seven cities in the country having Q pop ulation of 100000 to 125,0 900, nation al tax statistics reveal. Among 34 cities having 60,00O to 100000 pop lilation Waterbury ranks S4th rela- tive to the same basis.
 The figures are based on the actual tax rate as levied for 9i,000 assessed valuation with percentages based on the estimated ratio of as- sessed value of true value. In this latter phase of the estimate the city tax rate of 30 mills is based on an 30 per cent ratio. Based on an adjusted tax rate on a 100 per cent basis of assessment the tax rate is estimated at 24.
 Based on the adjusted rate, the city's tax assessment is lower than Hartford, Bridgeport, or New Ha- ven, statistics reveal. Hartford as adjudged on this later basis, is sub ject to a 30.50 tax rate; Bridgeport a 2S.30 and New Haven a 27.50. As stated Waterbury, on this basis, would realize 24 mill rate.
 However, no accurate or just comparison can be made by com- pairing the rate of one city with that of another. nor Is 1t fair to conclude that the city having the lower rate is more economical be- cause the rate is lower, for reasons that the various municipal services such as schools, water, health, fire, police may be much more efficient in the higher taxed city. It has been said that the best operating of city's tax rate can be done by an evaluation as to services received by the tax payer in comparison to the costs of such services within the municipality.
