A Billion Rations

Ration boards have been operating in practically
every community in the United States for three years In
that time they have issued than billion ratlons
including 534 900 food ration books and 600
gasoline rations.
These ration boards says Chester Bowle head of the
OPA have made it possible for civilians through three
years war; their fair share of available goods at
a fair price.
In democratic, quickly organized, largely volun-
tary set-up such ration boards there bound
to be some mistakes and charges of favor
itism or unfairness. But look the present
status of civilian life and compare prices and the
availability of goods with the last war, it is apparent
that the ration boards of the nation have made
valuable contribution welfare.

sary of raonnp thank the workers ration board

did it. And inspiring story it is She is

Husband and Wife, Continued
Those were puzzling questions in
the preceding article, and there
are no ready made answers to
them. After days of unavailing ef-
fort in that direction, it has been
my conclusion that to formulate
general rules so clearly that they
may not be misunderstood or mis-
applied is quite impossible. For
instance, it will be noted that |
prefaced the tabulation in that ar
ticle with the statement that even
though their separate deductions
are less than the standard, the
standard deduction will not always
benefit husband and wife on a
joint return. 1t did not do so in
the case illustrated, but it will do
so if their combined deductions
are less than the standard. While
such a rule is perfectly sound, it
is confusing
To make these decisions blindly
will be sheer foolishness. To make
them intelligently, l know no safe
way other than first to assemble
all the actual deductions, then to
compute the tax on each one of
the possible alternatives. Thus the
new law has certainly not simpli-
fled, but has greatly complicated,
the procedure in such situations
Whether husband and wife should
file separate returns or not, and on
what sort of form, and. what de-
ductions they should take, are still
questions to be decided upon the
particular facts in each case, and
in the light of every provision of
law which bears upon those facts
Net Income
The deduction for Federal excise
taxes ION admissions, telephone
and telegraph service, transporta-
ton, etc. is no longer allowed un-
less incurred in trade or business.
There has been a change, too, in
the allowance for medical expense.
Prior law allowed deduction for
such expenses to the extent that
they exceeded $50 of the net in
come before each deduction. The
present law makes it so of the ad-
justed gross income. This will

Never before in thirty years of in

somewhat reduce the deduction in
most cases. Contributions are now
allowable up to 1870 of the ad-
justed gross income. 1t was pre-
viously 1870 of the net income;
this is a slight increase. 1t is good
news that blind people now have a
special $500 deduction, but to OBJ
tain it they must file on the long
form, taking their other actual de-
ductions as would anyone else.
Tax Rates
Last year the income subject to
normal tax was determined by re-
ducing the net income by the al
1owance for personal exemption,
the credit for dependents, the cred
it on earned income, and the cred
it for partially exempt interest on
government obligations; the nor
nal rate was go. Under the new
law, the net income is reduced
only by the credit for government
interest and by the normal tax ex-
emption, and it is taxed at go.
The credit for earned income has
disappeared. The Victory tax, as
such. is done away with, it's sub
stance being retained in the new
normal rate
The surtax continues to be fig
ured on the net income reduced
by the allowance for personal ex-
emption and the credit for depen-
dents. but, as has been explained,
married couples. will have an ex-
emption of only $1,000, in place of
the former $1,000. The surtax
rate in the first bracket is now
POO, as compared with the former
1870, but owing to the changed
base on which the normal tax is
computed this year, and the elimi-
nation of the Victory Tax, it should
rather be compared with the COM
bined normal and surtax rate of
last year, which was 1870. On the
first $4,000, the surtax is accord
ingly $40 more than it was last
year; so the total tax is more in
every bracket. The rates in the
next five brackets have not been
increased, but there is a 10 in
crease over last year in the brack-
cts above $4,000, and a person
in that bracket will pay 1870 in
stead of 42%o. At $4,000 the rate
increases 2&o over last year with
further increases in the higher
brackets until at 100000 it be-
comes 91%o. So don't try to make
that much money-it isn't worth
it!
