Millions Haze Big Date
With Uncle Sam Jan. IS

WASHINGTON, Jan. II -(PG A
few million income taxpayers have
an important date with Uncle Sam
next Wednesday, Jan. Is.
It's the last day for them to file
a declaration of estimated income
tax for 1916 and for making pay
ment of estimated tax.
Most people who have taxes with
held from wages don't have to
bother about Jan. IS. It's a dead
line, however, for those required
to make estimates of their 1916
tax.
Persons who must make estimates
and pay the estimated tax include:
l. Those from whose 1916 income
no tax was withheld, such as bust
ness operators, lawyers, doctors
and so forth. They were supposed
to make their first estimate OF
1916 tax list Marh IS. Also, be
ginning last March they were re-
quired to start paying that tax,
in quarterly installments at least.
The final quarterly payment is
due Jan. IS.
2. Farmers-The government al
lows farmers to wait until Jan. Is
to make their estimates and pay
their estimated taxes. They can
make estimate and tax payments
earlier if they wish. If they wait
until Jan. IS, they must pay the
full amount of their estimated
tax.
Exemptions
3. Persons who had only part
of their taxes withheld from wages
Employers withhold the full tax
on wages up to S., 900, plus $500 for
each exemption except yourself
Your wife and each dependent
child are $500 exemptions. For
example,, if you have a wife and
no children and tax is withheld
from your wages. you need not
make an estimate unless YOUR
wages are more than S., 500 a year.
4. Persons who have taxes with
held from their wages but receive
more than 500 in income outside
of wages.
5. Persons who receive wages
from which no tax is withheld. for
example, farm workers and do
mestic. workers.
If you have been making quar-
terly payments on estimated taxes
for 1916 but underestimate the
amount of your tax by more than
20 percent, Jan. IS is your last
day to file a correction of the es-
innate and pay whatever tax you
still owe.
If you underestimate your tax
by more than 20 percent. and do
not correct that estimate by Jan.
IS, you may have to pay. a penalty
fee.
Not Liable
Farmers are not liable to penal
ty unless their estimate is more
than 80 1-3 per cent under the
amount of tax actually owed.
Income taxpayers can save them
selves extra paper work by max

For Pay Hikes Found
WIDESPREAD In Ranks OfLabor
BY GEORGE GALLUP
American Institute Of
Public Opinion

PRINCETON, N. j., January II.
because of the rise in the cost
of living there is at present wide
spread pressure among manual
workers in general, and labor union
members in particular, for pay
boosts.
Half of the manual worker group,
and about six out of every 10
union members polled by the In
%stitute, say they think factory work
ers should have another round of
wage increases.
Moreover, the C.. L. O.-endorsed
theory that pay boosts a be
granted without increasing prices
has apparently taken hold in the
minds of millions of Americans.
A substantial majority with
opinions accept the idea that man.
agement can hand out another
round of wage boosts without
raising prices, the poll shows.
The significance of this belief
is underlined by the fact that
those who think wages can 60 up
without increasing prices are far
more in favor Of increases in
wages now than are those who
feel that wages and prices must go
up together.
However, management can
find comfort in the fact that the
average workers idea of a fair
wage increase is considerably less
than the amount which such
C. 1. o. leaders as Walter Reuther
demanded at the time of the first
postwar round of wage increases
a year ago. The auto workers just
a year ago were out on strike for
a 30 per cent boost in hourly
wages.
Today the typical American
worker throughout the country
who has an opinion on the issue
thinks a 10 per cent wage increase
for factory workers would be about
right.
The latest probe of public senti'
ment on the wage-price front was
conducted by the Institute on q
number of issues, as follows.
l. Many unions of factory work,
ers are going to ask for a pay
increase within the next month OF
two. Do you think these factory
workers should get more pay?"
The vote by occupational groups
and for the nation as a whole is
shown below.

GOVERNOR TANCLE
GETS TEST TODAY
Georgia Lawmakers Will
Decide Squabble After
Vote Recount

ATLANTA, Ga, Jan. II U.D =
The Georgia legislature, definitely
on a hot spot, will convene Monday
to settle the nations oldest politl'
cal situation, created by the death
of Turbulent Eugene Talmadge on
the Threshold of inauguration as
governor.
The assembly must decide be-
tween two contenders. Talmadge's
son and campaign manager, Her
man, 33-year-old Navy veteran
and Lt.-Gov. Elect M. E. Thomp-
son, 40, who helped Gov. Ellis
Arnall defeat Eugene Talmadge
four years ago.
Gov Arnall jumped into the
tangle by resigning Saturday and
making it plain he would not sur
render the office to Herman Tai
madge even if the legislature elects
him. He will yield it only to

On Tuesday NOR. .lg the unwield-

question. 1t is: Shall the assembly
elect Herman Talmadge, on the
basis of several hundred written
votes cast for him in the 1926 gen
eral election, or shall Thompson
be elevated from Lieut.. Governor
to acting Governor for two years.
Main Contention
The main contention between the
factions is the fact that Eugene
Talmadge died before, not after,
his Inauguration. Lawyers expert
o., constitutional statutes have all
but called each other liars during
the capsule campaign that began
even before Talmadge was buried

After election of presiding Of
ficers Monday, the assembly will
appoint a committee to count the
general election votes. This com
mittee will find the sealed ballot
boxes contain written votes for
young Talmadge, for James V. Car
michael, who has said he would
not accept the governorship on
that basis, for Dewitt Talmadge
Bowers, ar Elberton marbleman,
and for football player Charley
Trippi. who needs nc further identl-
fication.
When the committee publishes its
count Tuesday morning, Talmadge
forces will Immediately demand
Herman's election. They contend
that the law provides the assembly
may choose between the two high
est between Bowers and Tai
madge. On the roll call vote
Thompson supporters will vote
mo- and the count will tell Tai
madge's fate.
Should Thompson forces beat
down Talmadge's bid, Thompson
will be declared lieut.-governor,
then take the oath of office, in the
joint House-Senate session, as act
ing governor and call on Arnall for
the governorship.
Two Governors
But if Talmadge wins the legis-
vote, and Arnall refuses
to walk out, Talmadge will set up
office in the capitol and Georgia
have two governors. In this
case the State Supreme court
be asked to settle the issue.
But the court ends its current term
Jan. 10, hence a settlement might
not come for weeks.
Both contenders have promised
the people they will guarantee one
thing - they will execute quickly
and completely Eugene Talmadge's
No. l campaign promise to exclude
Negroes from voting in Democratic
white" primaries. Georgia saw
such voting for the first time last
summer, under a U. S. Supreme
court decision.

There was no indication from the
