Your Income Tax
By jones MorIow

Your exemptions. Watch them
They're important. You'll save
money by being careful about them
when you fill out your 1945 income
tax return.
This is what exemptions mean:
There are two kinds of taxes on
income, a normal tax and a sur
tax. And there are two kinds of
exemptions, normal tax eXemp-
ton and a surtax exemption.
Each exemption, in either class
lis for $500, which means you chop
$500 off your income for each sur
tax exemption before you apply the
tax to your income. You chop $500
off for each normal tax exemption
before you apply the normal tax
to it.
Since the SurtaX is always much
greater than the normal tax, those
surtax exemptions are particularly
important.
Every one filing a return is en-
titled to a $500 surtax exemption
for himself, another $500 for his
wife If she had no income or is
filing joint return, and $500 for
each dependent.
But every one is entitled to only
a $500 normal tax exemption for
himself-if his wife had no income
and no exemption for any de-
pendent. A wife is never classed
as dependent.
You can claim as a dependent
Evening star., 1946-02-25

Der 81, or If a person dependent
upon you died any time in 1945
even as far back as January 1, 1945
you can claim him as a dependent
for the full year.
A dependent must be related to
you as follows:
Your child or his descendants
(your grandchildren); a stepchild
but not his descendants; a legally
adopted child; a brother, sister,
stepbrother, stepsister, your par
ents, grandparents or other an
cestors, your stepfather, stepmother
uncle, aunt, nephew, niece by
blood-and your in-laws, father
mother sister brother SON. or
daughter r-in-law.
When you list your exemptions

any close relative OF any age
whether capable Of self-support or
not-who received more than halt
his support from you in 1945 and
whose income in l945 was less than
$500.
Such a dependent-even though
he earned money, provided it was
less than s500-does not have to
file a return, and you do not have
to report his income in your re-
turn.
You cannot claim as a dependent
any one-even though receiving
more than half his support from
you-who had income of $500 or
over in 1943.
If child was born to you in 1945,

U. S. INCOME TREND
SWINGING UPWARD.
President Says Budget Bal
ance Impossible Despite
Added Revenue

WASHINGTON, Aug. g. U.D -
President Truman reported tonigh
that government income for thi
current fiscal year was running So,
100, DOC, ZOO above his forecast las
January but that he still coule
not balance the budget this year
Mr.. Truman disclosed that he
had ordered executive agencies te
cut their budgets by 3d. 200, 600, 00(
below authorized expenditures.
Even this leaves a prospective gov
eminent deficit next June 80 Of ST.
900, 900, 000-although less than halt
the deficit figure he predicted eight
months ago.
The Army and Navy must bear
the brunt Of the current economy
drive by contributing 81, $50, 900, 900
to the total reduction. The Presi-
dent also ordered a slash of $780,
600, 900 in public works expendi-
lures this year.
Despite the 81, $50, 900, 900 cut or
dered in spending for the armed
forces, Mr.. Truman estimated ma
tional defense expenditures for the
year at $18. 500, 900, 900, an increase
of 3d. 700, 600, 900 over his January
estimate.
Mr.. Truman summarized the
change in the governments fl
nancial outlook in a 10-page state
ment emphasizing again his oppo-
sition to further tax reductions I'm
til the threat of initiation has pas
sed. He pointed tos government
budget control as a vital factor in
the fight against imitation and set
a substantial budget surplus" as
a goal for the 1948 fiscal year.
Here are his new budget est
mates for the fiscal year July l.,
1916 to June 80, 1947:
Jan. Esti. Aug. Esti.
Qn Bil'n.) Qn Bil'n.)
Expenses ---------- ss6 SAL
Receipts -------------- Bis $50
Deficit ------------- AS 19
National Debt
Next June 80 ---------- 271 26l.
I'm less than two years the
budget deficit has been cut from
one of $53, 800, 600, 900 in the last
full year Of war to one Of ST, $780,
900, 900 in the first full year after
the end of fighting" Mr.. Truman
said. This cut in the deficit re-
fleets a substantial reduction in
government expenditures h
taxes maintained at a high level"
Although there is still dissatis-
faction with the progress made, the
President said, it must be recog-
nized that 1.-The aftermath of war
and the transition to peace are
very expensive"
An important factor in the re-
duced estimate for the 1947 deficit
was an administration forecast Of
higher tax revenues than we're ex-
pected when Mr.. Truman sent his
January budget message to con
gress. It was explained that the
revenue estimate then was based
on an expected national income Of
$40, 900, 900, 600 for the 1947 fisca.
year.
Because Of greater employment
and business activity, that estimate
has been revised upward to $165,
900, 600, 900. It also was assumed
that the prices Of goods bought by
the government would rise at Z
rate not exceeding one per cent

on the lawn of the summer White
House was held in the afternoon.
The president, perspiring in a
g4-degree heat, shook hands with
hundreds Of townspeople at the
lawn reception, while Jim Fender
CAST looked on. The Pre- sident,
however, chatted with the Kansas
City political leader only briefly
when he stepped from his car.
Interest in his homecoming was
high because of the Slaughter
Axtell- Welsh three-ringer race in
the fifth Missouri district, which
lies along the west side of the
city from the river wards on the
north to the fancy homes of the
wellto-do in the country club dis
trict.
Interest of another kind appear
ed high, too, as Ludwick Graves,
chairman of the election board,
reported wholesale designations
of veteran polling place officials
in the face of an almost certain
onslaught of challenging in the
red-hot contest.
I'VE may have to exercise a
writ under the statues to force
many of these officials to serve"
Graves said. Another election
police protection, machine ele-
board official said that talk OF
ments and the ballot battle in
Tennessee seemed factors in the
wholesale designations.
Even since the President three
weeks ago took in the fifth dis
trict game, it's been a hot-box OF
politics, with Axtell, 36-year-old
former Naval Lieutenant. carry
ing the colors Of the President,
Jim Pendergast and the CIO-PAC.
The gamblers along 18th street
repeatedly were betting ever on
Axtell with the odds up to 8-5
on Slaughter, the President

joining Mr.. Humans home dis
trict.
Jerome Walsh, third candidate,
was quoted b l. Gambling
moneys love for Axtell's chances
stemmed from the fact the resur-
gent ~Pendergast organization was
going all out only to whip Slaught-
er but to name both Jackson
county's congressional nominees.
Since the days of the Pendergast-
Shannon rapprochment years ago,
the Shannonites had one. Uender-
CAST the other.
With the Pendergast boys" get
ting out the deliverable vote in the
north end precincts, the money
boys were figuring Axtell would
more out of that area with a
stable lead.
The south side districts are
strongholds of republicanism and
it was there that Slaughter, though
a democrat, appeared to be stalk
ing his big hopes. Pendergast
forces were readying a challenge
campaign at the polls in an eff
fort to keep the COP voters in
their own bailiwick and thus
shorten Slaughter's chances.
Slaughter lieutenants said they
expected 5000 republicans would
swing into the democratic pri-
mary just for a shot at the Presi-
dent and Pendergast, who Mr..
Truman asked to support Axtell in
an effort to eliminate Slaughter.
