INCOME TAX DEDUCTIONS
ALLOWED MOTORISTS

A list of deduction from income
tax the motorist may claim-and a
list of items he can't-is made pub
&c by the Keystone Automobile Club
which reports more interest in deduc-
.ible items this year than ever before
because of the heavy tax burden i'm
posed by the war.
The following deductions are al
lowable whether an automobile is
sed for business or pleasure:
% State gasoline taxes in all
.tates except Alabama, California,
florida, Louisiana, Mississippi, Utah,
Ind Wyoming. (2) Interest on mon
~ borrowed in purchasing car. CD
License fees, including drivers Ii
oense. ca Loss and damage to tax
payers own car, due to casualty and
not compensated by insurance. (a)
Due to faulty driving of taxpayer or
jther person operating automobile,
f not due to willful act or negli-
gence CD Caused by faulty driving
f driver of car collided with. 60
IOoo 1ho 0oAAo5O NV SOAAPShooION
~ insurance, from fire or theft.
The following items are deductible
only if the automobile is used in bus
ness or the production of income and
such items of expense may be prorat-
I'd if the car is also used for pleasure:
Chauffeur's salary; cost of automo-
3ile worn out in year; depreciation,
federal use tax, garage rent, gaso-
line, insurance, judgment for dam
ages due to negligent driving, loss
on sale of automobile, oil, repairs;
truck tires, life less than one year.
The following items are not deduc-
tible:
Federal gasoline tax; accident
damages paid resulting from opera
tion of pleasure car; cost of new au-
omobile (unless business car is worn
out within year,; defending damage
suit for negligent driving of pleasure
car; travel between home and bust
ness; finance charges; fines for viola
ting traffic laws; loss on trade-in.
Gasoline taxes deductible by the
ZIG LOul COlto pei 6ollOA
in Pennsylvania, Delaware, Mary
land; three cents in New Jersey and
the District of Columbia, and five
cents in Virginia.
Taxpayers, the Club statement
says, should not deduct the total
cost of gasoline used in a business
car as an expense of the business and
at the same time take separate de-
duction for the state gasoline tax.
"a motorist holding only an "a"
gasoline ration card received during
1914 approximately 95 gallons of
gasoline. On the assumption that all
of this was used for non-business
purposes, he would be entitled to a
deduction in the four cent tax states
or $3.50.
"a basic b card permitted 10 5
gallons coupons per quarter, or 65
gallons, or $50 gallons for the year.
Whether the motorist would be ne
titled to deduct the total cost of the
gasoline depends on whether or not
he used it in a business. If he merely
used it for occupational purposes,
that is, getting back and forth from
work, the only deduction to which he
would be entitled would be the State
gasoline tax.
&C. coupons were likewise for 5
gallons but there is no way of deter
mining the number of coupons issued
to 'C' card holders, because that var
led greatly, based on many different
factors"

HOUSEHOLD FATS TO RESCUE

Homemakers of town and farm are
again asked by the War Food Admin
istration to come to the rescue of a
wartime program. VIA states that it
is looking largely to the people in ag-
ricultural areas to increase the guam
tity of salvaged fats this year to the
250,000,000 pounds needed to meet
United States militay, industrial and
civilian requirements. Last year
housewives turned in 170,000,000
pounds. M. L. Wilson, director of the
Extension Service has called upon
all State directors of the service to
enlist the aid of their field forces in
helping to speed the drive for used
fats turned in from rural areas. VIA
advises and asks all housewives to
keep tin can in handy spot in which
to pour used cooking fats. When the
can is full the fat-can and all
should be taken to the local market
where the butcher or grocer will pay
two red points and UP to four cents a
pound for every pound turned in.
Salvaged fats are used to help make
munitions, medicines, synthetic rub
Der, military and civilian soaps, par
achutes and a score of other wartime
necessities.

ALL is NOT GOLD THAT
GLITTERS

Under Public Opinion" and the
subtitle Rum and Coca Cola, in
the last issue of the Wing, we were
told that the public is confused about
the Dispensary Bill, because of the
clamor raised by the liquor dealers,
etc. The Cecil Delegation in the Leg
islature has received over 400 letters
of protest, and approximately 1000
persons have likewise voiced their
protest against Dispensary System
by signing Petitions to that effect.
These are responsible citizens-vot-
ers and taxpayers and entitled to be
heard
The Bill does not in the least help
the question of control of alcoholic
beverages, or law enforcement 1t
will bring about bootlegging of legal
whiskey, when the stores are closed.
We don't want that.
AS to the sale of liquor in grocery
stores, where children are sent, and
the article referred to, gives an un-
fair insinuation that rum and coca
cola are sold there to children, min
ors cannot purchase alcoholic bever-
ages in the stores, hotels or else
where When we dine out with our
families in hotels or restaurants, Ii
quor is served openly, so the Dispen-
sary cannot prevent children from
seeing sold or served.
To entice support for this Bill, we
are told that the profits will help the
taxpayers Profits in Kent County are
eited and 1.-THE Kent News is quoted.
Yet another Kent paper, ''The Enter
prise" under the title Gliding the
Pill" takes issue; and states
Frankly we doubt very much if
there was net profit in 1944-hard-
ly as much as $4,000. But that is
the Kent News story-not ours!" I'm
der their law the county gets two
thirds and four towns where the
stores are located, one-third. Yet
their mayors were told they might ex-
pect some benefit at the end of 1915,
but that There was no net profit in
1914"
The proposed bill only authorizes
the borrowing of SIS, 900 to start the
county in the liquor business. 1t
wo,-ld require 100000, and where
will they get it? Besides, liquor is
getting scarce again, and where will
hey get it?
Don't expect any relief in reduction
# taxes from profits The history of
iispensaries in other counties shows
that the taxpayers got no relief. The
more money they had, the more they
spent.
Now as to that Small but noisy
minority ought not to be allowed to
kill this Bill, - two thousand pro
estants, with more coming, can't be
ignored And this, in a little over a
week.
They don't want our peoples bust
ness or property confiscated without
just pay.
They don't want Cecil County in
the Liquor business, nor do they want
Government in any kind of business
except Government.
There is no confusion in the minds
Of our people-they don't want dis
pensary, nor do they want to be part
ners in one

SPEEDING SHELLS TO THE FOE
Nv Vnnne

Washington, D. c., Feb. 26-When
nearly 100000 rounds of cannon
and mortar shells were hurled at the
Germans over the first three-month
period following D-Day last June,
America discovered that it takes a
lot of man-hours back home just to
keep the boys overseas shooting.
Americas industries have taken the
challenge on putting OUT and are
stepping up to the job.
Shell production has been spread
over the country into plants that
never handled that sort of thing be-
ore. General Motors, for example,
mas widened it's she'll output program
by expansion to a Chevrolet plant at
st. Louis, a Fisher Body plant at
irand Rapids, Michigan, and in the
'ontiac division at Pontiac, Michi-
gan. The Oldsmobile division of GIN
las been a major contributor in shell
production since 1941.
These plants expanded in hurry
When it became evident that there
vas going to be shell shortage. AT
;rand Rapids volume production was
gained within four months of recep-
ion of the original letter of intent,
while Chevrolet started making
,hells before the buildings for the OPP
ration were even finished. Pontiac
vas 275 per cent ahead of its con
ract schedule in December, while
Chevrolet was doing three times the
olume estimated in advance for that
month. The acceleration is so effec-
i've that the product is being deliv-
cred to the Germans, via the muzzles
If our guns, in less than month
from the time of it's manufacture.

De filled. The farm population at the
beginning of the war exceeded 80
million-.that's by all odds the lar

part of our population more rooted

included these 80 million in his job
estimates. That's all right-but this
classification are not job-hunters.
The CLIO and the AFofL claim to

that we have Is million Union mem

Speeding Up Peace Policies

There is general opinion in
Washington that programs regarding
permanent peace will eventually
come through" and that the Big
Three Governments must and will
come to better understandings than
now appear to exist, regarding final
matters. BUT wise Mark Sullivan, one
of the greatest columnists of Cur
times, expresses the fear that Mill
tary Russia" proposes to subordinate
Poland and other conquered coun-
sries in a plan that he says means
extension of Communist influence

every mind question whether Rus
sia's theology follows her flag"
The situation is full of dangers
ahead. But let's be optimists-for a
