the Moss Point Rotary club when
he addressed them on Thursday.
Forty per cent of the men re-
turning from the service do not
want their former jobs back and
do not wish to return to the COM
munities from which they came.
Work pile programs are all right,
Mr.. Khayat declared. but the adj
justments must be made mental
ly and spiritually"
Illustrating his talk with charts
and statistics, Mr.. Khayat point
ed out comparisons and contrasts
between the present war and the
first World War. Among the COM
parsons he made vas "the pres
ent Navy is five times larger
than that of 1918" He also stated
that the fighting in this war is
world wide while that of the last
World War was mainly localized
in Belgium and France.

In his brief account of a "few
things that happened out there he
told of one engagement where the

THE NEW WITHHOLDING TAX
BY Alexander n. George

Washington-Don't get too ex-
cited, come the New Year, if
your pay check is smaller. or
larger, than usual.
New rates for withholding in
come tax take effect upon wages
paid on and after Jen. /. Result;
A larger amount of income tax
will be withheld from the wages
Of millions of workers; a smaller
amount will be withheld from the
wages of other millions of wage
earners.
The increased and decreased
withholdings are caused by %
changes in tax exemptions (2) the
use of more precise withholding
tables and (3)) graduating the
rates so that full tax is collected
up to about $4,000 in wages, COM
pared with $2,7 0 under the old
law.
Some Up. Some Down
The new exemptions reduce the
tax for persons with two or more
dependents, but increase it for
childless married couples and
those with only one dependent.
Tax exemptions have been $500
for a single person and 81, 200 for.
a married couple, plus $3.50 for
each dependent. Under the new
law, exemptions are $500 per per-
son.
For example, the exemption for
a married couple will total $1,000,
or 5000 less than formerly. For a
taxpayer, wife and n depend
ent, the exemptions will total
$1,000 (three of $500 each) COM
pared with a previous $3.50.
However, the taxpayer has a
wife and two dependents, the ex-
emptions total $4,000 flour per-
sons at $500 EACH compared with
ST, 300 under the old law.
Tables More Exact
Tax withholding tables are
made more exact by narrowing
the wage brackets in the tables.
For weekly wage earners up to
$50 per week, ST wage brackets
will be used instead Of $40
brackets. For wage : earners be-
tween $50 and 500, So brackets
will be used.
Under the old tables, the same
amount has been withheld from
a $50 wage as from a 500 wage,
and from a $50 pay as from 500,
and so on (This overwithholding
at the bottom of the bracket and
underwithholding at the top of
the bracket has been "evened up
when annual tax returns were
made.) Under the new tables, the
Withholding from $31 is larger
than from $50, and so forth.
Take the Ease of Jim Smith,
married and two dependents, and
receiving wages of $40 a week.
Under the old tables, the weekly
tax deduction from his pay has
been $1.80. Under the new tables,
the weekly deduction will be 80
cents.
And When It's Up
On the other hand, the deduc-
ton is increased for Bob Jones,
married and no dependents, and
$40 weekly wage. Under the old
system S4.20 has been withheld.
Under the new system, $6.10 will
be withheld.
The new rates for withholding
apply to wages paid on and after
Jan. 1, l945, regardless of when
the wages were earned. EN-
ployers are allowed to figure the
withholding tax from the wage
bracket tables or to make a per-
centage computation on the basis
of the actual tax rates.
1t is expected that most en-
ployers will use the tables be-
cause the tables are improved
and the percentage computation
is more difficult under the new

Lest We Forget
on November Z
Dear Editor:


Lest we forget, Nov. 7, that we
are members of a minority group
and are directly affected by legis-
lation favorable to labor.
That the C. I. o. has been by far
the most successful organization in
combating racial prejudice and
gaining the recognition of the right
of the Negro to work.
That the C. 1. o. was fertilized
under the present liberal admins
tration.
That big business has an acute
interest in defeating the C. 1. O.
and other liberal organizations that
have recognized the Negro as an
American.
That the publicity given to the
appointments of few members of
our race by the political represen-
tative of big business is typical of
their overture to the Negro race
in attempting to buy the group by
elevating a few.
That millions of Negroes for the
first time in their lives have under
the Roosevelt administration been
able to enjoy the modern convent
ences of life and recognition by all
political parties that they can be a
powerful political power.
Buy Bonds! and vote for Franklin
D. Roosevelt and a liberal Congress,

Editor: The perennial blooms

group of youths setting forth their
needs! In each venture that has
been tried in the form of Southside
recreation places, more trouble than
good has come Of such ventures.
A community house, properly
supervised and stated, with def
mite program is a worthwhile thing
to have, but just a meeting place
as such has been is not the answer
to or solution of any need.
In all fairness, why did the Re-
publican Negro State Campaign

there some connection?

Editors Note: We pointed out in our

publican Negro Campaign Committee had
absolutely nothing to do with the inser-
ton of a letter signed By South Side
Youth, which appeared in our oct. ~
edition. We explained what was perfectly
obvious to many that the type which
ascribed sponsorship of the letter to the
Republican Committee was a printer 8
error Perhaps Mrs. Bowman did not
read the editorial column of the Oct. II
issue.
No one will disagree with Mrs. Bow
mans suggestion that "a Community
house properly supervised and stated with
a definite program is a worthwhile thing
to have - What the youngsters seem
to want, however, Is some aeon on me
matter and they have placed the response
bility for inaction or reaction in the APPS
of the parents of the community. Since
there is an admitted need-a beginning mas
to be made some place or on some level.

He takes my hand with wringing grasp,
And asks my health in genial way,
l do not prize his warm handcasp,
He passed me by, indifferent, yesterday.
The politician knows too well the power
Of great yet simple at my command,
Though black, this is my shining hour,
An axe, this small blunt pencil in my hand.
Today my ascends, and all admire,
Our great pledged ground above the pile;
o poor black voter why not now inquire
What's to be done for you the rank and file?
How strange it is everybody knows
For all my cares sudden, preventive,
When all needed yesterday for these same woes,
A job to do, a chance, and an incentive.
Though my opinion may be wrong, my choice
Is mine to make and I'll abide its sequel,
I am but small entity, and yet my voice,
However brief the SPELL procaims me equal
love this privilege this transient glory
Too much to vend it for patry fee,
The precious vote cast is my private story
My scrubbed is like Kings decree.
