Your Income Tax
fLuSt OF O. SefteS.J
By Jones Marrow

Some people, besides filing
their 1948 income tax return by
March IS and paying up any tax
owed. must
Also by March Is file an esti-
mated tax return-it's called a
declaration of estimated tax
on their 1949 income and pay on
that, too.
Who's in this group? Two kinds
of people:
/. Those, like landlords and
doctors. who won't have any tax
at all withheld from their 1949
income.
2. Those, like Wage-earners and
salaried people. who'll have some
tax, but not the full tax for 1949,
withheld from their pay.
Method Is Explained.
Because estimate" means just
what it says, the people in the
two groups must do this by March
IS:
L. Estimate what their 1949 in
come will be and what the tax on
it should be.
2. Then start paying-in four
installments-the difference be-
tween the tax withheld from them,
if any, and the full tax they'll
owe for 1949. The other pay
ments are due June Is. September
Is. and January IS, 1850.
The idea is to have every one
on a pay-as-you-go system. Those
with full tax withheld from them
will have paid in full by the end
of 1949.
Those who must make an es-
timated return and four INSTALL
ment payments should be paid up
in full around the years end, too
If you're wondering whether
this includes you, do this:
You know what you get week
or a month in paw and how much

Well. Why Not?

Under the heading Why Not Support Labor Papers in
Existence Now? the Labor News of Worcester Mass
Gently reported interesting debate the merits of the
labor press meeting of the Central Labor Union OF that
city 1t is subject that deserves better understanding and
above all fuller realization of the purposes which the labor
publications of America serve.
Commenting on proposal to expand the AFL League
Reporter into national weekly publication delegate said:
1T is my opinion that if members Of organized labor
would support the newspapers which and have been
for many years. serving the educational and informative
needs of movement greater advancement would be made
not only along political lines but in the economic field as
WELL"
The speaker also mentioned the struggles and sacrifices
of American labor journalism of which the Worcester News
is shining example Warmly appauded by other delegates
he added:
"There is probably for the younger mem
of labor they do not know its early struggles and take
it's existence matter of course But the support OF
local unions and individual members not placed behind our
newspaper have to blame but ourselves If its IN
fuence The starting of papers by union officials
in Washington costs great deal of money Much better
would be if that money went to support the existing
labor press.
All in ALL the report concludes, "a good case was made
existing labor newspapers rather than the institution OF
competing publicity organsWich, in the end, might re
suit in more casualties in the field of labor journalism
great many trade unionsts acquainted with the rbuonS
and difficulties of the labor press share this view

Injury Compensation Laws

Progress has been made in improving workmens s com
pensaton laws this year. recent reports from state capitals
show But there still lot to be done before compensation
laws are adequate as coverage benefits and other lea
lures
For example compensation laws for the injuries lndus
try does not prevent need to all workers instead OF
about only half of them at present They should provide
adequate medical and benefits that really reflect TWO
thirds of present earning power At todays wages and
prices maximum benefit limitations probably provide no
more than half the average workers weekly earnings the
u. S. Labor Department says.
One big lack of wor<mens compensation legislation is
provision for rehabilitation Not nearly enough has been ac
compshed in this field Through both the federal and state
Governments there must be certainty that funds and SER
vices really provide for the early and prompt rehabilitation
of injured workers They should be helped back to work at
their maximum skill and at least possible loss OF earning
power No argument is needed in support OF effective ref
biitation, which more than pays its costs

Disturbing Trends

Reports on consumer purchasing power show that for
the third straight month the nation has suffered decline
The figures show that the March level 100000
below that of Februay-3 per cent under the December
high.
These figures are more than statistics from Govern
ment bureau They show disturbing trend in the nations
economic health They especially disturbing to the work
ers of the nation For decline purchasing power is OF
vital concern to the labOrng people of the country.
In relatively few years ten million new vehicles
have been registered and population has increased by
25 million in less than 20 years. This all means additional
requirements for living space for auto facilities for trans
poraton needs This all adds up to cOmpoundng our pro-
bems and difficulties
Last year the nation spent more than billion and
half dollars road work. This record total, but IN
of the 1899 dollar it substantially less than $780,

growing traffic needs unless step our program all

Only Constructive Answer

The United States cannot hope to go forward without
clear and constructive labor policy. The American way,
based faith and confidence in human beings is collective
bargaining where decisions the terms of workers
poymen made by mutual agreement of the parties
cerned-workerS and management
There only two other alternatives: CD Individual
bargaining, which actually domination by manage
ment because worker bargaining alone has choice but
to accept managements terms (2) Government inerven-
tion between management and labor which govern
ment domination over both.
The Taft-IIartey Act sets up confusing and self-de-

Pdrddox

The newspapers in recent weeks have noted the exist
of economic paladOXsng living costs in face Of
growing unemployment in some industries.
This is Of course contrary to the accepted economic
theory When production catches up with demand-as it
has in many of ndustriesprceS supposed to fall
this in is supposed to create demand to keep our
factories hummng
The difficulty isn't much that the theory won't work
is that many businessmen doing all they to keep
from working When demand catches up with production
instead of cutting prices to create demand they reduce
production Thus artificial shortage keeps prices high
when they ought to be declining
The remedy for this maadustment has been clearly
pointed out by President Trumans Economic Advisers.
What is needed is higher wages and lower prices.
Otherwise the economic advisers warn, the economy
will get and out of balance and the penalty will
finally be economic crash.
