Stiff Income Tax
Measure Is Signed
ByGoyernor Carvel
Law Retroactive To. jan
uary /, 1949, Makes
Each Taxable RespOn-
sible For His Tax For
Period January To
July.

A new state income tax bill, ex-
pected to met $5,O00,0O0 a year in
added state revenue, became law
last Friday night with the sigma
ture Of Gov. Elbert N. Carvel.
In addition to providing a higher
tax rate, the new measure differs
in several respects from the in
come tax law which is supersedcs
and which is netted approximateIy
$1,500,00 annually.
The new tax allows only person
al exemptions, contains a with
holding provisions, and applies to
non-residents who work in Delaw-
are as well as the states citizens.
While the former tax permitted
deductions for charitable contribu-
tions and other purposes, the new
tax law permits a personal exemp-
ton for each wage Garner of S1,040
and for each dependent of $500.
There are no other deductions al
lowable. However, should hus-
band and wife both be wage earn
ers, each must file separate re-
turn and may deduct $1,04O per-
sonal exemption.
Withholding Starts July ]
Beginning July /, the tax will be
Withholding, with the employer de-
Quoting it from each employees pay
in the same manner that the feder-
al tax is now withheld. The law IS
retroactive to Jan.1, and each wage
Garner is responsible for the pay
ment of his taxes between Jan. i
and July 1, when the withholding
provision goes into effect. This six
month tax, not withheld by the en-
ployer, is due April 80, 1850.

ton to protect and defend the
rights given to man by God and
just law, not to whittle them
down and crush them
It was the third time within
two weeks that the Pope publicly
referred to problems of protection
of peoples through just laws.
".We are pleased to note" the
Pontif1 said, that the lawgiver
and the soldier move in friendly
con1panionship." q
This, he said, is "as 1t should
be-" since law, however wise, could
hardly hope to prevail unless it
has the backing Of reasonable
force" He said an old Roman
philosopher had said that the
very fear of war is worse than
war itself"
No Tranquility in Force.
Even within a nation, the Pope
said. the only guarantee of tran
guilty is to be sought not in
force, "but in the soul of a ma
tion-that is to say, in the inner
life of its people" Such inner
life, he added. should be exerted
lin the defense of the family, of
the children. Of the worker and
his employer so that all. guided
by Christian principles of justice
and charity, may enjoy the blessed
fruits of brotherly love-"
