Three Changes In
Farm Income Tax

Ohio farmers, busy making out
their l948 income tax returns, are
finding that there are at least
three major changes which affect
how they fill out their forms and
how much tax they must pay.
According to the new income
tax law, says Guy W. Miller, ex-
tension farm management spec
ialist at Ohio State University, in
dividual income taxes are reduc-
ed through percentage reductions
and increased exemptions.
This year, for the first time,
husbands and wives may divide
their combined income equally
for filing joint returns. The new
legislation does not change, in
any way, however, the method of
computing net profits, Mr.. Miller
| explains.
Dividing incomes equally gives
farmers and their wives a chance
to compute the amount of tax
due at lower surtax rates. The
divided income may be used only
by persons filing joint returns
but Mr.. Miller believes joint re-
turns are usually best even
though the taxpayers have had
high medical bills or other un-
usual bills.
Farmers whose business year
starts January /, have until Janu-
ary Is to file their returns or an
estimate of the tax to be paid
The amount of the estimate must
be paid by January IS, if that
method is used
Two copies of all of the forms
needed may be obtained at a post
office or bank or from the col
lector of internal revenue. One
copy is for the taxpayer too kcer
for his records, and it is gooC
! business to keep copy of all re-
turns filed, he adds.
County agricultural agents il
each county have received (
limited supply of new booklets
entitled The Farmers 1948 In
come Tax" which, Mr.. Mile
! says, will be of help to any in
come tax adviser who assist.
! farmers in making out returns.

Public Affairs Institute
Finds Unemployment
Serious, Asks Tax Cut

A privately financed research
organization said yesterday that
unemployment in this country Is
serious and growing" and pre-
dicted that 5000 900 will be jobless
q year from now If the economic
decline continues. It urged the
Federal Government to raise tax
exemptions and reduce rates as
steps toward combating the prob
lem.
"If the presently accelerating
trend toward sharper business de-
clines and increasing unemploy-
ment are not reversed, and soon,
we are headed for serious difficult
ties" the Public Affairs Institute
said In a study entitled "Unem-
ployment: It's Here-Let's Stop
1t Now"
The study described q Census
Bureau report of $500, 900 persons
being jobless now as a rock-bot-
tom figure and estimated that II
the present moderate rate Of
economic decline" continues there
will be about 5000, 900 unemployed
In the last quarter Of 1949 and al
most 5000, 900 by mid-1950.
It emphasized that unemploy-
ment has passed the spot" stage
and has become national rather
than local problem.
so Sponsor Institute.
The study was prepared by
Dewey Anderson, executive direc-
tor, and Economists Wilfred
Lumer and John Shott of the

the institute was established two
years ago through the interest of
the late Fiorello H. LaGuardia
of New York, A. r. Whitney. pres
ident of the Brotherhood of Rail-
road Trainmen, and others. It's
go sponsors include Gov. Chester
Bowles of Connecticut, Senator
Humphrey. Democrat. Of Mime
sofa; Thurman Arnold, Leon Hen
derson and Mrs. Franklin D.
Roosevelt.
In urging steps to end grow
ing indecision and anxiety about
our country's economic condition, u
the economists said:
I'VE don't take any stock in the
current whispering among men of
high position in Government, in
academic circles and business that
we should not disclose the eco
nomic facts of life for fear of
inducing psychological depres-
sion.'
More fearsome just now is a
continuance Of a policy of drift |
in the face of disturbing economic |
conditions and trends that may
well lead us into a depression.
Inaction now is compounding the
problems we will have to face
later on"
Other Proposals Made.
In urging governmental action
TO bolster tagging purchasing
power. the study recommended. in
addition to raising tax exemptions
in the lower brackets and reducing
rates In the middle brackets, a
variety Of other steps. They in
cluded:
/. Extension of the veterans re-
adjustment benefits program.
which is due to expire next month.
for at least one year.
