Creeping Socialism

This newspaper has long record as opposed &c

Now, it seems while the newspapers Mississippi were
busy lighting socazed medicine their very
come endangered with the budup menace-socazed
printing
And ironically biggest the State Board of Health
We told that this department assembled printing
plant worth thousands of dollars
Avowed opponents socaed medcine-but advocates of
printing
The Senate Printing committee reported do
Pass Mississippi Press Assoa sponsored banning opera
ton OF printing plants by state departments So
been no open opposition to the hi H. Certainly hope passes
The these departments have "sneaked into the
printing business example of the nsidious way
works
Back in the administration Governor Bilbo serious at
were made to establish state printing plant This
ent was scotched and the Legislature passed law requiring
state departments to purchase their printing private
printers through the Board of Public Contracts
Since that me however various departments installed
png machinery circumventng the by saying they
did not state money buy equipment Thew used
se'era funds sent down to Mississippi from Washington
What were the federal funds for? If this money
wa given Mississippi for health work. etc-then
by diversion OF the funds to purchase printing equipment
Sa'e uhos became necessary to the health and
purchase of printing state departments
came dupes of one of the Deal socialsic schemes
However the equipment was purchased, with whatever
iuhu THESE departments should printing
Senate Bill l3 will that departments go ont Of
the printing business sell the equipment they now have and
never buy any more
That bill reasonable one-and unless the affected state
departments are admitted soeialcay inclined will pass with

Livestock Business

Livestock Business
Are you in the livestock bust
ness AfG you planning on going
lnte the livestock business?
SHOULD / increase my livestockr
These are a few questions that
a livestock man should think
about. Don't get into the cattle
program at all until you have
ample pastures and winter feed.
Grass and feed should be on
hand, then get the cattle to eat
the grass that you have. A
farmer just beginning cattle
program should start with a one
bull unit, say 20 or 30 cows He
should buy the best bull he can
afford The bull is half the herd
and should be recognized as such.
With a good buu a farmer can
start with very common cows
and soon breed up herd Of good
beef animals. OF course the bet

.SeIf-EmpIoyed Must
pay Social Security
By March 18Th

Four and one-half million peo-
| pie who work for themselves
have immediate reporting re-
sponsibilitigs under social Sc
curity. Their first report of So
cial security tax on their own
earnings must be made by March
Is. Most self-employed have
been covered since January /,
1851, although many did not real
ize it. Since coverage was COM
pulsory and automatic, no action
at that time was necessary.
The covered group includes
storekeepers, jobbers, wholesal-
ers and contractors. 1t also in
cludes independent tradesmen
such as plumbers, painters, and
electrical contractors. Some pro-
feSsional groups such as authors,
musicians, nurses and artists are
covered. If such a business is
operated as a partnership rather
than as a sole propietorship, each
partner is considered self-em-
ployed.
Farm operators are not cover
ed. Neither are members of GER
tain specified professions: doc
tors, lawyers, osteopaths, veter-
inarians, chiropractors, nature
paths, optometrists, Christian
Science practitioners, architects,
accountants, funeral directors
and professional engineers.
Each covered Individual must
make a social security tax re-
port to the collector Of internal
revenue if he has $400, or over,
net income during the year. The
report will include only the first
$4,000 of net income. This re-
port will be made on Schedule
c, a part of his 1851 Federal in
come tax form.
Net income for social security
tax purposes does not include:
rentals from real estate, divi-
dends and interest on stocks and
bonds, and gain from sale or ex-
change of a capital asset.
The reporting itself viii be
extremely simple. Simply trans
fer the net income from Form
1040 (income tax return) to the
attachment to Schedule c (sche-
dule of profit or loss). The COL
lector of internal revenue fur
nishes both of these forms.
Each individual must have
social security number when the
time comes to file. Many will
already have cards they needed
when working for others. If he
has had a card and lost it, he
should apply at once at the
nearest Social Security Admins
tration office for a duplicate. He
will be issued a new card with
his old number. A person who
has never had a social security
card should take immediate steps
to obtain one. Form SS-5 Gap

count Number) may be found at
any post office, internal revenue
office, or social security field Of
flee.
The Administration has pre-
pared, with the problems Of the
self-employed in mind, a booklet
called do You Work For Your
self" Free copies of this book-
let are available at the Green
wood Social Security office.
