return. When, speakers and edi-
torialists solemnly and unrealistically
ask, will politicians find way to re-
duce taxes rather than increase
them? 2"
The answer to that is obvious.
They never will find a way to de-
crease them. There may be reductions
here and there, but there will in time,
be compensating increases for the rea-

our kind of civilization, and we are

1t is civilization which provides
hospital and medical care for the indi-

looks after public health so that waves
of plaques and epidemics of various
kinds do not strike us, killing millions
as they did in the old days of mans
civilization. Taxes pay for that. 1t is a
civilization which looks after the sew

Justice Holmes Best Investment
BY RALPH McGILL
In Atlanta Constitution

Mr.. Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes
was making out his income tax A sec
retary, assisting, commented it seemed
unfair for Justice of the Supreme
Court of the United States to be so
taxed.
Il like taxes" said the Justice.
With them, man buys civilization. >
His conclusion is true one
And the fact very few persons think
it out to the point where they "like"
taxes because of what taxes buy, does
not alter that fact at all.
Taxes do indeed buy our civilization.
And especially do they buy the pecu-
liar American civilization which has
seen the capitalist system flourish as
it never did in the days of little taxes.
1t has flourished because of taxes
which have provided the capitalist
system with a social conscience.
There are always those persons who
act, and seem really to believe, that
taxes are taken from them and spent
somehow and somewhere without any

In our concern for the education OF
our children are we forgetting the
child himself? The press is overflow
ing with admonitions and ideas as to
what is needed to provide better and
better schools. The seriousness of the
problem of less than top teachers,
inadequate salaries, insufficient hous-
ing and equipment, is constantly
shouted from the housetops, until
there can be no doubt that wide
spread awareness of this need for a
certainty exists. People know it but
they say, "Who is going to foot the
bill?"
Without a doubt the bill must be
footed somehow for expanding and
our school system But what
about the child himself? A greater
need exists (because it is not gener-
ally recognized) for the serious con-
temptation of the necessity for ellml-
mating the tragic waste in human life
through crime, juvenile delinquency,
mental illness and all forms
of personality failure. The appalling
increase in mental illness makes it
imperative that we cannot longer lg-
more this mutilation of the human
soul, can no longer hide it behind
silence and shame. We must begin
to assume the same responsibility for
the personality and character of our
children as we feel compelled to ex
ercise for the academic education of
The child. Crime and juvenile delin-
Iuency are not a matter for the courts

Parents are hard to get hold of and
furthermore their habits and manner
of thinking are already determined
and controlled by a fixed pattern.
However, a start can be made.
Glasses in adult education could be
organized and the full force of their
responsibility placed before them.
This could be handled through the
Extension Service and the Home Dem
onstration clubs.
We can begin training our teachers
to recognize personality traits in
young children and how to guide and
influence them so that they will not
lead to destructive results. When n
child is failing in school it may be
easily traceable to an emotional con-
flict from which he is suffering. Prob

ure your tax on a special table
that gives you part of the advan-
tage enjoyed by married couples
filing joint returns.
This year you can qualify for
"head-of-household" status if you
provide more than half the sup
port of a parent and more than
half the cost of maintaining the
parents household even if the
parent does not live with you.
Incidentally, if your husband or
wife died in 1852 or 1858 and you
have as a member of your house
hold a dependent child or STEP
child, you are now entitled as a
surviving spouse to the same
income-splitting benefits this year
as you would have had on a joint
return - unless you remarked
before the end of 1854. Your privi-
lege to file as a surviving spouse
applies to the first two years fol-
lowing the year in which your
husband or wife died.
s = =
CHOOSING THE RIGHT FORM
The simplest tax return is a
small card, Form 1040A, on which
you furnish a minimum of infor-
nation and leave it to the govern
ment to figure your tax. This is
all right if you are sure you can't
save by itemizing your deductions
and if you are not a 'head of
household"
You are allowed to use Form
1040A if your total income was
less than $4,000, consisting only of
wages, dividends and interest, and
if all but $500 or less is listed on
your W. withholding slips.
On Form 104O you figure your
own tax. It may be used as a
"short form" on which you find
the amount of your tax from a
table which allows you approx
mately 1919 of your income as a
standard deduction for contribu-
tons, taxes, interest paid, medical
and dental expenses, etc.
If your income in 1854 was
$4,000 or more you must use Form
1040 as a 'long FORM" The long
form permits you to itemize your
deductions, whether your income
was more OF less than $4,000. If
you think your actual deductions
may be more than the 1O% stand
ard deduction it's wise to list
them and e whether itemizing
saves on your tax.

Young Folks
Enjoy Skating
Party At Savage

The youth organization of the
Yellowstone Community Church
in Savage entertained the Sidney
Alliance Youth Fellowship at
a skating party on the ice off
Thomas Island near Savage one
night last week.
A large camp fire had been
built, which proved a popular
place for the skaters. For a short
devotional period the group also
gathered around the fire when
choruseS were sung and scripture
verses were quoted from memory
by most of those present. Pastor
Borchardt of the Sidney Alliance
church was present and offered
prayer.
The evenings activities ended
with the roasting of wieners and
marshmallows, accompanied by
hot chocolate drinks. Supervising
the arrangements by the entertain
ing group was the pastor, Rev. J.
S. Rain.
An earlier attempt had been
made to entertain all the youth
groups of the Alliance churches in
the area, but a freezing rain made
it impossible for most of them to
attend. Only the Lambert Alliance
church sent a delegation at that
time.

Do YOU HAVE TO FILE?
Here are the rules to help you
decide whether to file a federal
income tax return:
/. If your gross income was 5000
or more in 1854, you must file,
unless you are IS or older and had
less than $1,000 income.
2. If you had $4OO or more in
come from self-employment, you
must file a return to report these
earnings for social security pur-
poses.
3. If you had any salary or
wages from which withholding tax
was deducted by your employer,
you must file a return to get cred
1t for the tax withheld.
MARRIED COUPLES
Generally it's best for married
couples to file joint returns in
stead of separate individual re-
turns, because the joint return
gives them the advantage of in
come-Splitting. That is, they are
taxed at the rate which applies to
half their total taxable income.
There r a few exceptional
cases in which separate returns
might result in a saving. When
capital losses are involved, for
example, it's best to figure both
jointly and separately to see which
results in less tax.
