Corporation Tax Cut Seen As
Benefit For individuals. Too

The more liberal treatment ap-
plies to new equipment bought att
er last Dec. 81, or to construc-
ton started after Dec. 81. If con-
struction was started before then,
but completed later, the more lib
eral allowances apply only to that
part of the construction cost after
Dec. 81. The new deductions may
be claimed in 1854 tax returns due
next April Is.
Note: You can't claim the new
deductions If you buy used equip
ment. The old rules still apply in
that case.
Under the old law, generally you
figured the useful life of the new
item and deducted the cost in
equal annual installments over
that period. Thus a $4,000 item
with 10 years of life would mean
$1,000 deduction each year for
10 years. This is called the
"Straight-line" method.
Under the new rules, you are
given several possible new
methods of figuring deductions.
The most important are called the
declining balanace" method and
the "sum of the years digits"
method They sound frightfully
complicated, but they aren't so diff
ficult when you sit down to work
them out.
Under the declining balance,
first you figure the percentage de-
duction allowed each year under
the old law. In the example above,
that would be 10 per cent. Then
you double the percentage. In this
example, you get 20 per cent.
Now, for the first year, you de-
duct that percentage from the to-
tai cost. Thus the first year YOU
get a deduction of $1,000 instead
of $1,000. And each succeeding
year, you apply that same 20 per
cent to the remaining balance Of
the cost - not to the entire cost.
$4,000, so in the second year you
would deduct 20 per cent of 5000,
of $1,000. The third year you
would deduct 20 per cent Of So, 400,
or $3.50.
In the first three years under
the declining balance method, you
would deduct $3.50 instead of the
5000 under the old law. At a Is
per cent tax rate, that would be
an actual tax cut of $470 the first
three years.
Under the "sum of the years
digits" plan, the rate of deduc-
tons is fraction. The denomin-
ator of the fraction is constant
the sum of all the numbers in the
useful life. In the example above,
that would be 1 plus 2 plus 3 and
so forth up to 10. That gives you
a denomination of IS.
The nuerator Of the fraction
starts with the number of useful
years, or 10. It declines by one
number each year. Each year you
apply this fraction to your total
cost, to figure the deduction.
Thus the first year your deduc-
ton in this example would be
1O-55thS of $4,000, or $1,S1S. The
second year it would be 9-55ths of
$4,000, of $1,636. The third year
it would be 8-55ths, or $1,454; and
so forth until the tenth year your
deduction would be 1-55th, or only
$182.
In this case, your deductions the
first three years would total $4,9O8.
This compares with $1,000 under
the old Straight-line method - an
additional deduction of $1,90S. If
you're in Is per cent tax bracket,
that would be an actual tax cut of
SAT- the first three years.
Still other methods are allowed.

Faulty Fountain
Pen Leads To
Chain OF Trouble

DANVILLE, Va. u A pen that
wouldn't write set off q bizarre
chain of circumstances here yes
terday that led to shooting spree,
police chase and the death by
drowning of an Air Force private.
Police said Pfc. Melvin L. Ger
bitz and Pvt. Augustine Smith,
both of Fl. Bragg, NC, were in
local restaurant when one of the
two - it hadn't been determined
which one - became angry be-
cause his fountain pen wouldn't
write.
He handed the pen to his COM
panion, told him to hold it at
arms length, pulled out a pistol
and shot the pen to bits.
The restaurant owner called po-
lice. The airmen hoped in a car
and sped away. Police gave cahse.
At a bridge across the Dan Riv
er near town, the airmen's car
smashed into an embankment. The
two crawled out of the car and
tried to swim the river.
Gerbitz didn't remove his uni
form. He drowned a third of the
way across.
Smith stripped his clothes off
and reached the other side, was
picked up by a passing car and
taken to a gas station. There police
arrested him and jailed him on
charges of felonious shooting and
driving under the influence Of in
toxicants.

but none of the others may exceed
the declining balance rate at any
one point during the first two
thirds of useful life. You can use
the declining balance method for
part of the period, and then shift
at any time to the straight-line
method of deducting your remain
ing balance of cost.

for the '1eft-wing elements"
He put it this way In Pocatello.
Idaho, on October Is:
IF the Democrats win con-
troll Of Congress. 1t will give a
tremendous boost to the left
wing elements within the party"
The left wing. he said, is the

man, Mr.. Stevenson and Mr..

And in Phoenix, Ariz., he said:
"If the left wing gets back into
power, these discharged security

speaking In Milwaukee. that Mr..
Stevenson called Mr.. Nixon

waited note of subversion, perver-
sion and denunciation of for

ploring the terrible damage that

Mr.. Stevenson replied the next
night: Not just the Vice Presi-

paigners, but now the President
himself has affirmed the prop
osition that our prosperity has
been achieved in the past only

ganda for years am sure

dent.

last minute. What happened to

Fake Moscow Orders to Vote
Democrat Hit by Mitchell

Then, Mr.. Mitchell said, the
original announcer returns to
enjoin his listeners: Don't take
orders from Moscow vote
Republican in November"
Mr.. Mitchell asserted that the
G. o. P. aim was to hurt the
Democrats, but that the voters
would be hurt more, and he
added.
IF outright falsehood can be
dramatized and passed off as a
recording of an actual event
without punishment for those
who perpetrate the hoax, then
it is the public and the radio
industry which will be the los
ers. since no voter will believe
anything he hears over the air.

II do not. believe that this
malicious fakery will save the
Republican Party from defeat
and I believe that it will
do that party harm that will
last long afeer this election.

not hesitate to make a national
