Bad Tax NeIUs
Your Moneys S
Worth
BY Sylvia Porter :

IF YOU'RE a married man with two children
Il and job from which you earn less than
SIS a week. I have bad tax news for you.
You're not heading for tax cut in 1854.
even though todays income tax law dictates
that you get one starting January /. You're
heading for a tax boost!
The income tax law. as it stands now. says
you are to get an automatic tax reduction
averaging about 10 per cent for individuals in
Evening star., 1953-10-18

have some extra left in your paycheck after
your income tax has been withheld But that
extra will be more than offset by the addi-
tional money deducted for your social
security tax.
Not unless you, as head of a family of
four. earn more than $500 month will you
feel any benefit from the income tax reduc-
ton now scheduled. And not unless you're
really in the top earnings brackets will your
income tax cut substantially Offset your
social security tax hike.
Half of all Americas families earn less
than $3,700 a year. Millions of Americans,
therefore, are heading for tax increases.
If you're the same family man. but with
an income of twice as much-$150 week-I
also have a tax jolt for you.
Having followed the tax news, you no doubt
look forward to some worthwhile tax relief
next year, for 10 per cent sounds worthwhile.
Yes, the amount withheld from your $500
monthly paycheck for income taxes will go
down So. But for the first half of 1854 the
amount withheld each month for social
security tax will go up So. Your net will be
only IS a month until you have paid your
social security tax on $500 of your earnings.
You'll not get your full So relief until after
June 80, 1854.
So it will go. A worker earning $4,000 or
this year. Next year, he'll pay $72
His employer will match the workers con-
tribution with another $72. The employer
will do this for every employe. And self
employed persons earning $500 or more will
owe $108 in social security taxes instead
of $81.
Moreover. the Governments budget picture
won't be frightened by this $1.2 billion more
in taxes. On the contrary. it may be
darkened.
For social security taxes go directly into
the social security fund-which is not
counted in the regular budget. Corporations
and businessmen paying the additional pay
roll tax naturally will deduct the expense
from their income taxes. This added expense
can reduce the taxes they owe to the Gov
ernment-can cut the revenues the Govern
ment collects to balance the regular budget.
The family earning $500 or less a month
constitutes a vast mass market This is the
area where tax changes matter tremendously,
can be great stimulantS or depreSSantS.
Unless Congress returns to act before New
Years Day, for half of Americas families
the first 1854 paycheckS will hold bad, not
good, tax news.

CONSERVATION
 NOTES
Lew E. Hanks

The Alaska Soil Conservation District is purchasing signs from the National Association of Soil Conservation Districts for its CO., operators. These signs are an at- tractive metal type painted white and green. They show the name of the farmer and the Soil Con- servation Sub-district he resides in. There is charge of one dollar to the farmer for lettering of each sign. If you are inter- ested, see your Sol Conservation Sub-district chairman, or let us know at the Soil Conservation Service office in Palmer.
 The wood chipper ordered by the Palmer Sub-district has ar rived and will be put into ser- vice as soon as possible. As soon as we can rig up power unit and a means of transporting it, a demonstration will be arranged. It will then be put out on a rem tai basis for use by local farmers. The rentals collected will be used to repay the Alaska Rural Rehab- ilitation Corporation who is fi- nancing the purchase.
 The introduction and demon stration of new or different farm equipment is a problem here in Alaska. Due to distance and lim- tied sale potential, equipment dealers have not entered this field to any great extent. The Alaska Rural Rehabilitation Cor poration has probably done more

LOCAL LEGION PARTICIPATING IN TERRITORY.WlDE CRUSADE

Members of the Palmer Post American Legion are participat- ing in a Territory-Wide crusade to obtain signatures of as many Leg ionnaires and other interested persons on a petition to the Presi- dent of the United States inform ing him that the signers are whole heartedly opposed to the admission of the so-called Chinese Peoples Republic to the United Nations.
 Edward A. Ueeck, American ism chairman of the local post, recently received communica- tions from National Commander Arthur J. Cornell and E. w. Van Horn of Sitka, department Americanism chairman, urging the participation of the local post in the crusade.
 The letter from Commander Cornell read in part as follows: During the past several months there has been increased activity on the part of those interested in admission of Communist China to the United Nations to enlist public opinion against the regu- larly constituted government of China.
 Communists have been carry ing on a well organized propa- ganda for the United States to abandon the regularly constituted government of China and admit another statelite government of the USSR to the United Nations. The so-called Chinese Peoples Republic has shown it's unwilling ness to carry out the obligations of the Charter by systematically disregarding every human right and violating every freedom.
 "In order that the President of the United States may know that we of the American Legion are unalterably opposed to any rec ognition of the so-called Chinese Peoples Republic I am endeavor-

Basement of U. p. Church Completed

The basement in the United Protestant Church has been fin lshed-off with a series of work parties by members and friends of the church, it was announced this week.
 The entire basement area was opened out a year ago but this Fall the members got busy and started to finish-off the basement area. The young people started the work by perfa-taping the walls and ceiling. Men and wom- en of the church completed the sanding of the walls and ceiling and applied two coats of paint.
 The ceiling is painted cream, with walls of light green and brick red around the lower por- tion of the walls. The Ketchikan Spruce Mills donated 10 gallons of paint for the work.
 Last week asphalt tile was laid throughout the basement area, making the assembly hall attrac- tive and very comfortable.
 The church kitchen is still to be finished-off, but work is pro- gressing on this part of the build ing now.
 Special appreciation is given to MT. Ted Barlow who supervised much of the work and to the more than 40 young people and adults who helped in the work.
