Tax Relief for Aged

To the Editor OF The Star:
We are glad to note that it is con-
templated to allow an additional ex-
emption of $500 for people over 65 years
of age, the great majority of whom are
trying to exist on small pensions entirely
inadequate to meet the high cost of liv-
ing at the present time
This is the most worthy measure that
ever was introduced and all right-think-
ing people hope and pray that it viii
be passed and become a law
The lawmakers, who are all successful
financially themselves, are apt to lose
sight of the fact that for one elderly
person on pension who has accumulated
a fortune and is financially independent,
there are many thousands who are COM
pletely dependent on the small pensions
they receive for their daily subsistence.
Personally, am in favor of increasing
the exemption of all low-salaried per-
sons to $1,000, as this will help them
most to meet the high cost of living and
give needed relief, but if this cannot be
done in every case, it certainly should
be in the cases of the old people whose
earning power has ceased. Often the
pensioner cannot. exist on his meager
pension unless he receives help from
some relative. If he could be allowed
$1,000 exemption when over IS years of
age chat is, allowed another $500 ex-
emption for old age), 1t would give relief
where most needed.
