Six-foot Joseph d. Nunan, Jr.,
Internal Revenue Commissioner,
father of four children, Brooklyn
Dodger fan, and head of the bureau
collecting income taxes from our
50,000,000 taxpayers, has made a
ruling that simplifies tax problems
for thousands of farmers and bust
nessmen.
The ruling will prevent lot of
disputes about depreciation - how
much the owner of COW, a ma
chine, or factory may deduct from
yearly income because the COW is
getting old or the machinery wear

through experience as Collector of
Internal Revenue in his home town.
Brooklyn, N. Y, the commissioner
took his new job knowing deprecia-
ton disputes cause 1873 per cent of
complaints to the Internal Revenue
Bureau.
Amending the system of working
out new depreciation agreements
through local officials each year,
Nunan has announced that taxpay-
ers may negotiate agreements COW
ering depreciation rates and meth
DDS for five-year periods.
Just now, with war plants getting
ready for civilian work, it is essen

be allowed on millions of dollars
worth of munitions-making machin-

help industry create thousands of
jobs after the war.

THE HUMAN SIDE

Marines fought for hours, now
ing down Jap soldiers, but later these
same Leathernecks clustered around
tattered civilians and strained to be
helpful.
There is the example of the
ambulance jeep which carried three
Marine casualties back from the
front. Two of them were sitting, with
Okinawan babies in their arms. The
third lay in a stretcher, with a little
girl clutched tightly to his chest as
the Jeep bounced over the roads
bumps.
The kindness must have come as
great surprise to these people aft
er the fantastic horror stories Jap
propagandists told about us. Every
civilian taken into custody covered
with fear until he gradually saw
for himself that he wouldn't be
harmed.

HUSBANDS AND WIVES TAX
EXEMPTION

In response to numerous inquiries
arising from new provisions of the
individual income tax law relating to
exemptions for husbands and wives,
and the income of minors, Joseph D.
NMnan, Jr., Commissioner of Internal
Revenue, has made the following
statement:
Husband and Wife Exemptions
The new law requires that if hus-
band and wife file separate returns,
each must take his own exemptions
on his or her own return. The exemp-
tons of both can be claimed on the
same return only if (a) they file a
joint return, or (b) if one of them
had no taxable income and was not
dependent of another taxpayer. In
applying this rude to wives of men in
The armed forces, it should be borne
in mind that the tax laws exempt and
disregard the first $1,000 of active
service pay received each year by a
member of the armed forces. The re-
suit is that the average member of
the armed forces has no taxable in
come, in which case his surtax exemp-
ton can be claimed by his wife.
Income of Minors-The new law
provides that the earnings of child
rem shall be considered to belong to
the children, and not to their parents
for purposes of the federal income
tax. AS result, minors who had
$500 or more income last year must
file income tax returns the same as
ADULTS. Therefore, parents need no
longer include in their own income
tax returns the earnings of their
children"

WHAT DOES FREEDOM MEAN?

When we boast of freedom in the
United States, we mean a freedom
that is gone. How can there be free
dom when a labor union, upheld by
the courts, can prevent man from
carrying on his daily work because
he refuses to pay an arbitrary assess
ment of one dollar for political pur-
poses which are contrary to his be-
liefs? Witness Cecil B. DeMille!
Previous to the DeMille case, the
musicians union defied the War La
Dor Board and the President, and
prevented Photographic recordings
until the transcription companies
were forced to surrender and pay a
tax on each record (millions of dol
lars annually into the union trea-
sury, not to the musicians them
selves. Antitrust suits against the
union were dismissed by the courts
on the grounds of lack of jurisdic-
ton. 1t is high time the antitrust
laws were amended to cover union re-
straint of trade and freedom to work.
The right to work, free from finan-
Gals assessments, should be as sacred
as the right to go to church without
buying a ticket.

FIRE INSURANCE

During the first ten years of this
century, the premium rate per 500
of fire insurance averaged $1.15. In
the next decade, it SLOT; from
192O-29, it averaged SO cents; and
from 193O-39, IA cents. The average
cost of fire insurance for the last five
years-66 cents-represents de-
cline of 40 per cent from the aver
age cost of this type of property pro-
lection which prevailed at the begin
ming of the 1920's.
A large part of the reason for this
spectacular decline in the cost of fire
insurance can be traced to the fire
prevention activities of the insurance
companies themselves. They estab-
lished the laboratories and research
centers, and developed the trained in
vestigators that today forestall much
of the menace of fire in homes, fac
tories and military establishments
throughout the land. They have been
the impelling force behind the draw
ing up of building codes and fire or
dinances in thousands of cities and
towns.
Few industries have history OF
achievement and public service to
match that of fire insurance. AS a
leading financial publication points
out, it "unquestionably represents
one of our most vital businesses, pro-
tecting the homes and possessions of
almost every family in the nation
against many kinds of loss and pro-
viding funds for quick restoration of
production and jobs in enterprises
that are damaged by fire."

WHERE THE POCKET KNIVES &C

The mystery of where that pocket
knife you wanted to buy has gone is
cleared up by an announcement of
WPB. To meet the urgent need of
bomber crews, ski troopers, sailors,
and other members of the armed for
ces for pocket knives, employment in
the pocket knife industry must be ex-
banded to point that will permit
production in the first half of 1945
of approximately 100000 pocket
knives per quarter, WPB said. Each
pocket knife is miniature engineer
ing project. Making the simplest type
of knife requires about 40 separate
operations, while more complicated
four-bladed knife, containing some
20 pieces, requires about 100 opera
lions.

BILL TO CURTAIL DOUBLE
TAXATION INTRODUCED

Delegate Bertram l.. Boone, II,
representing Baltimore's Fifth Dis
trict in the General Assembly, has
introduced a Bill to prevent the
State of Maryland from collecting
AK on part of the money Marylanders
pay the Federal government.
Under the law as it stands today,
Maryland income tax payers are not
allowed to deduct the amount they
pay in Federal income tax. Money
paid for certain other Federal taxes
may be deducted, but not the amount
paid in Federal income tax This re-
suits in a tax on tax, which is gen
orally regarded as Objectionable.
Delegate Boone issued the follow
ing statement clarifying the situation
and explaining his position, when he
introduced his Bill
at may not be generally known,
but the people of Maryland pay their
State tax on the money they pay
the Federal government in taxes
Take the case of a worker with
$4,000 taxable income. Before he re-
ctives his pay, $500 has been taken
out for Uncle Sam. Thus, he actually
receives only $1,000. But when he
pays his State income tax, he is tax
ed for the full $4,000. He has to pay
tax to Maryland on the $500 he
paid the Federal government. This is
a striking example of a tax on tax,
and it works an injustice to the tax
payer
Gin 1913, the Maryland General
Assembly passed law exempting
from State taxation what was then
called the SO Victory Tax, or the
first pay roll tax. Since then, the Vic
tory Tax has been supplanted by the
Federal 700 or 1870 pay roll tax.
After the Victory Sax was changed
by the Federal government, our sta
tute exempting the Victory Tax from
State taxation naturally became in
effective and has been repealed. In
view of the above condition, I have
introduced Bill, which will exempt
double taxation on the amount of
money formerly paid as Victory Tax"

SHADES OF THE UNITED STATES

Argentine, that troublesome neigh
Dor to the south of us who persistent
ly leans toward the trappings of die
tatorship in preference to the institu-
lions of democracy, has now decreed
that there shall be no more chain
stores in the Argentine. According to
reports, the organization of new
chain store companies is prohibited,
pending the drafting of new regula-
tions, and present chains are forbid
den to open additional outlets or
make any change in the premises of
existing stores without special per-
mission. Shades of the U. S.! This
particular piece of tyranny is not a
copy of Germany or Japan. 1t prob
ably was imported from the statute
books of some of our own states.
Possibly it came from currently pro-
posed, anti-chain legislation in Con-
gress itself.

A United States senator says of
marketing cooperatives: Through
cooperative effort a thousand small
farms can pool their interests and
thereby perform the services that
might otherwise be done by a single
corporation, while at the same time
they preserve their sense of owner
ship and full responsibility upon
which sound and stable government
itself depends"
The senator's comment illustrates
the basic purpose of the marketing
cooperative, which seeks to build in
dividual enterprise that operates for
reasonable profit.
