Your u. 5. Income Tax
(This Is No. I of n Series !

This Is No. OF a Series)
Your income tax-including both
the regular income tax and the
temporary wartime victory tax-is q
major part Of the Federal Govern
ment's method of paying for the
war and all other governmental
costs.
These taxes are figured as a per-
centage of your income, after de-
Quoting various exemptions, credits,
and deductions. They are based on
your taxable income from all sources,
including wages, salaries, bonuses,
commissions, business profits, divi-
dends, interest, rent and royalties
The regular individual income tax
on 1943 income includes a so-called
normal tax" of per cent and also
a "surtax" which begins at l3 per
cent and increases by steps (fre-
quently called "brackets') to sue
cessively higher percentages for
larger amounts of income.
The Victory tax is also an income
tax, but is only for the duration of
the war, and somewhat different de-
ductions, exemptions and credits are
granted than are allowable for the
regular income tax The Victory
tax is computed at S per cent, but
an automatic credit formerly
called a postwar credit'D reduces
the tax by one-fourth or more, de-
pending on whether you are married
or single and on how many de-
pendents you support.
These are the taxes for which an
annual income tax return" must be
filed on or before March Is, 1914.
The requirement for filing these
returns has not been altered by the
"pay-as-you-go" collection system
which was installed last year.
Under the pay-as-you-go system,
part or all of an individuals income
taxes-both regular income and Vic
tory taxes-was withheld from his
wages during 1943 and turned over
to the Treasury by employers. In
the case of individuals who were not
kept substantially paid up by the
wage withholding, additional pay
ments were required on the basis of
declarations" of estimated tax.
However, since both of these types
of payments were only approximate
it is still necessary after the end of
the year 1943 to file "return"-not
Aater than March 15-in order to
determine the amount of the correct
tax. In connection with this return,
you will compare the correct amount
OF your tax and the actual amount
OF your payments. If your pay
ments were less than the correct
tax, you will pay the difference. If
your payments were more than the
correct tax. you will be entitled to a
refund, or credik

Japanese supply base Of Madang
Saidor is more than 100 air line miles
from Finschhafen, nearest Allied
held coastal base to the south on
Huon Peninsula.
Between Saidor and Finschhafen
on the coast is battered force of
Japanese being steadily pushed
northward by Australian fighters
The Macarthur communique said
these enemy troops are now trapped
with no source of supply, and they
face disintegration and -destruc-
ton"
Another force of Australians is
moving toward Madang by pushing
up the Ramu Valley, across the
towering Finisterre Mountain range
from Saidor, and was last reported
within Is miles of Bogadjim, a
coastal base linked with Madang by
a modern 2o-mile highway.
American 9Th Army forces swept
ashore at Saidor yesterday morning
after an air and naval bombardment
had dumped 200 tons of explosives
on the area. A smoke screen covered
the landing. Brig, Gen. Clarence H.
Martin of Accomac, Va, commanded
the entire task force; Col. Slade N
Bradley of Mount Pleasant, S. c.,
headed the ground fighters.
In addition to their lack of ground
defenses. the Japanese were unable
or unwilling to send up any aerial
interceptors. Landing observers
said long after the troops had swept
ashore, enemy planes had failed to
arrive from Madang or Wewak or
any other japanese airdrome, and
the Americans had things their own
way.
Airport Being Readied.
Saidor has an old civil airport
which has not been used recently by
the enemy. Construction workers
probably already are readying the
field for Allied planes. Artillery and
antiaircraft positions have been
set up.
Nearby is Lagop Plantation, where
there are nearly 800 acres of rubber
trees and 10000 coconut trees.
It was invasion No. 3 for Gen
MacArthur's forces in the last three
weeks. On December Is portions
of 1t. Gen. Walter Kreuger's 9Th
Army stormed ashore at Arawe on
the southeast coast of New Britain
against light opposition. On De-
cember Is American marines land
ed at Cape Gloucester, on the
southwestern tip of New Britain go
miles west of Arawe, and fought
their way into possession of the
twin air strips within five days.
Bougainville Bases Blasted.
Capture of Saidor, less than $50
miles across the Vitiaz Straits from
the American holding at Cape
Gloucester, gives Gen. MacArthurs s
men a firmer grip on the choppy
sea passage which opens the door
way to the sea route to the Philip
pines.
