Dear Sirs:

Dear Sirs:
We close our books for 1947 en-
couraged by the increasing support
which both the Nisei and Issei
throughout the country are extend
ing to our program. We realize
that no small credit is due the
public minded editors and others
associated with the Nisei and ia
panese language press for the part
they have played in supporting and
publicizing our work. 1t Is indeed
heartening to note the growing
eagerness of the Nisei to accept res
possibilities and obligations which
are so fundamentally common to all
z God, loyal American citizens.
We believe that we had a good
year in 1947 and that our accom-
plishments, though small, are of no

we have lot of unfinished business,
big assignments which We as men,
bers of the JACL Anti-Discrimin-

We count on your continued sup

backing, we feel that we can face
the new year with confidence
To all of you We extend our
thanks and our best wishes for a

The remuneration of sin, stem

from mans humility, brings him
to the highest expression OF mans
religious experience-the prepare

unquestioning submission to the

accident that the episode of the

The Revenue Act Of 1913 which effects d reduction in in
dlvidual income taxes applies to l948 and later years. Pro-
vision is made for an Equalization" in the tax burdens Of
states. The benefits of income splitting previously enjoyed
by husband and wife only in those states which had the com
munity property system, are now extended to taxpayers in
every state.
The new Act retains the same normal and surtax rates
as for 1947. It eliminates the SO reduction and substitutes
therefor, a series of rates of reduction depending upon the
amount of the tentative aggregate tax. These rates are
as follows:
IF THE AGGREGATE TAX THE REDUCTION FOR 1913
is: IS:
not over $500 -17R of the aggregate
over $500 but not over $68 plus 1870 Of the excess
100000 over $500
over 100000 $4,000 plus 9.75% Of excess
over 100000
These reductions are given effect to in the optional tax
table. The taxpayer only has to know his adjusted gross in
come and his exemptions. The table takes care of tax reduc-
ton. The new table is set up that there are two sets of
taxes-one set for a husband and wife who file a Joint re-
turn. This tax gives effect not only to the additional reduc-
lions on account OF lower rates and increased exemptions,
but also to the income-splitting provisions Of the new law.
Inc other set OF taxes IN the table is for all other taxpayers.
The amount Of exemption for individuals is raised from $500
to $500. Under the new law, each person who will attain or
has attained the age OF 65 before the end Of the taxable year
will receive an additional exemption of $4,000. It is applied
like the $6OO-person exemption against net income. This
additional exemption of $500 can also be claimed by the tax
payer for his spouse who has attained or will attain the age
Of IS years in 1913, if a separate return is not filed by the
spouse. Also, a blind taxpayer is entitled to an additional ex-
enpptlon OF 5000 for himself and for his spouse if the spouse
is also blind, provided a separate return is not filed by the
bind spouse OF the taxpayer. Under this new law, the special
deduction OF $500 for the blind which was provided IN
Section % C) of the Code now becomes a 5000 exemntion
On an equal footing with other exemptions.
Corporations are not affected by the Act except. Indirect

Farmers Not to Blame.
A preview of what he may say
was given in couple of his Michi-

farmers were not to blame for high
prices, and promised to tell what
happened to the difference between
the amount the farmer gets for his
product and what the consumer
pays.

will speak in Salt Lake City and one
other town in Utah still to be chosen,
Senator Thomas, Democrat, of Utah
said after a White House call today.

speech, according to Senator Thom-
