R T DUCED
TAXATION

Eisenhower has tried it and so
far has seemingly failed. Now
the question arises what can be
done about it, if possible.
Begin in the home township.
Begin with the trustees who have
plenty of overhead expense, with
the breaking up of tractors and
other machinery. The cost of re-
pair by a mechanic at $3.50 per
hour for eight hours would be
S28.00 day.
II one of the trustees could do
the repair work, that would cost
S6.0G day and the difference
would be S22.00. Would that be
considered a reduction or savings
in taxes?
Regardless of who may be
elected, they must face the reali-
ties of the issue and that is to
reduce taxation.
One man can do it who is cap
able and real mechanic and
hat man is PHILLIP McWIL-
LIAMS, who has helped in the
past years and will do the same
in the future to all who are in
need of help in a mechanical
way.
Has it ever occurred to you
that there might be a time when
Phillip would ask a favor of
you?
Now that is for your support
at the Tuesday, Nov. S, election.
He needs you now. Can you
refuse?

Q-I am a Korea veteran and
l have just come out of service.
I enrolled in a one-year course
in radio-TV repair under the
Korean CT Bill. After l finish
that course, would l be allowed
to take another one? I've built up
three years of CT entitlement.
A-The law allows you one
change of course, SO long as you
make it within three years from
the date Of your discharge. So
once you finish your radio-TV
course, you would be permitted
to take another, provided it is
made within that three-years-
from-discharge deadline.

Ohio's election laws are, for
the most part, modern and Ohio's
election system stands the test
Of comparison with other states
very well. 1t is based on the
pure tWo-party system, with
both parties sharing the respon-
sibility and work.
The law provides for a board
of elections in each Of the 88
counties. This board is made up
of four persons two Republi-
cans and two Democrats. They
then employ the clerk, deputy
clerk, and other employees of the
office. The county board of cleo
tions has charge of all registra-
ton records, the printing of bal
lots, the employing of precinct
workers on election day, and all
other details necessary for the
huge task.
The precinct workers are again
Representatives of both political
parties and the law requires that
there be in each polling place
an equal number of workers from
each party. The county board Of
elections instructs the precinct
workers in the proper function
ing of their polling place, how
the ballots are distributed, cast,
and accounted for, and the pro-
visions of law governing voting.
Working at the polls on cleo
ton day is one of the duties Of
citizenship, and should be ac-
cepted with the same respon-
sibility as jury duty. It is their
province to insure that every
qualified voter in Ohio who
presents himself to vote is given
the proper ballots and that the
votes are accurately counted.
Registration is required in GER
tain areas of Ohio. The laws of
Ohio require you to be registered
in order to be eligible to vote if
you reside in a city having over
10000 population or if you reside
in an area where the County
Board of Elections has adopted
registration. In these areas, Sep
tember Is is the last day on which
you can register in order to be
eligible to vote in the November
election.

abled Korea veteran continues
to receive subsistence payments
for two months after. he has
been declared rehabilitated.
What If he stops training before
he is completely rehabilitated?
Will he also get subsistence pay

A-No. The extra subsistence
payments are made only after
rehabilitation has been COM
pleted. They will not be made if

Your Election Laws

w -
Registration in Ohio is perma-
nent and need not be renewed un-
less you have not voted at least
once in the past two calendar
years, or you have moved since
you registered, or if you have
changed your name since you reg
lstered. A woman must re-register
if she has married since she reg
istered. However, if she were
married after September 25, she
may vote on November 5, but
not thereafter, under her former
name.
If you have not voted in the
past two years or if you have
changed your name, you must ap-
pear in person in order to re-reg-
ister. If you have moved, you
may register your change of adj
dress by mail on a form furnish
ed by your County Board of
Elections.
Ohio Election Laws do not re-
quire that members of the Arm
ed forces be registered in order
to vote while they are in service.
Upon discharge, the serviceman
must register if he resides in reg
istration territory. There is one
exception to this law. If the serv-
iceman is discharged after Sep
tember 25, he may vote by Armed
Service Absent Voter Ballot at
the office of the County Board of
Elections if he makes application
by II O'clock noon of November
2.
If there Is any doubt as to
whether you live in a registration
area, contact your County Board
of Elections office.
Ohio is one of the % states
which makes adequate" pro-
vision for voting by members of
the armed services. This does
not mean that only % states
allow members of the armed
services to vote, but only %
states have set up laws which
allow them either to vote with
out being registered, or to regis
ter by mail.
Ohio does not require a person
in service to be registered, and
allows any member of the armed
services to vote if he or she is
Il years of age, a United States
citizen, and a resident of Ohio.
If he resided in Ohio at the time
he commenced service, he has
a voting residence in the precinct
in which he resided, provided
the time during which he resided
in Ohio preceding his entrance
into service plus the time spent
in service equals or exceeds one
year.
The serviceman may apply for
ballots himself on a form fur
nished by the Federal govern
ment and usually obtainable at
all bases, or on form furnished
by the County Board of Elec-
tions, or merely by writing a
letter to his County Board of
Elections. The application does
not need to be in any particular
form. 1t only needs to contain
words which, literally constru-
ed, indicate the request for bal
lots, the election for which he
desires ballots, that he is serving
in the armed forces, that he has
a residence in the state, and suf-
ficient information to enable the
Board Of Elections to determine
the precinct in which his resi-
dence in the state, and sufficient
information to enable the Board
of Elections to determine the
precinct in which his residence is
located. He should also state his
armed service address to which
the ballots should be mailed.

The General Election of 1857
will be held on Tuesday, Nov. S.
Special emphasis is always
made On registration and voting
in the Presidential election years
and in the years when state and
county officials are elected.
The fact is that the years
when township and municipal
officials and boards of education
members are elected are just
as important as other election
years. For that reason a special
effort was made this year by
the secretary of state and by
numerous organizations to center
the same attention on registra-
ton and voting as in the 1856
presidential election.
In emphasizing the registration
deadline last month there is
always the usual danger. As i'm
portant and necessary as are
these warnings on registration
headlines, there is the danger
that some people-those>living in
he non-registration areas or
those who are already registered
will not go to the polls,
although they are eligible.
If voter is not sure whether
he lives in a registration pre-
cinct, or whether his registration
is still in effect, call to the
board of elections will determine
it. Remember there are 49 coun-
ties in Ohio which have no regis
tration requirements and only II
counties in which only a portion
of the voting precincts are in
cluded in Ohio's registration
area.
So don't lose your vote on
November 5 because Of a mis-
understanding resulting from the
barrage of registration remind
erS.

Tax Exemption
On Income Of
Aged Sought
Smith Bill for D. c.
Would Aid Recipients
OF Social Security
BY JAMES G. DEANE

Representative Smith. Demo-
Graf Of Virginia, plans to intro
duce legislation to exempt social
security recipients from the Dis
trict's income tax.
William N. Mcleod, clerk of
the House District Committee, on
Mr.. Smiths instructions, yester-
day asked District officials to
help draft the legislation.
Kenneth Back, new city as
SCISSOR. said $500 persons might
be affected. The total amount
the District is collecting from
these persons this year may be
$4,000. he said. He added that
these are maxim1ms and the
totals may be smaller. however.
The social security tax be-
! came an issue this year because
Of the lowering Of the District
income tax exemption from
$4,000 to $1,000. This hit some
social security recipients hard.
Retirees Urge Action
Max Abel Of the National AS
ISOLATION Of Retired Civil Serv-
ice Employees has been urging
the Commissioners to act to ex-
empt the social security recipi-
ents from the tax on their So
eial security payments.
The Commissioners have taken
no stand. Engineer Commits
sioner Thomas A. Lane said to-
day he win raise the question
Immediately. Both he and COM
missioner David B. Karrick in
dicated they viii back the
Smith move.
City legal officers recently de-
eided the District lacks power to
grant the proposed tax exemp-
ton administratively.
One Of the arguments put for
ward for lifting the income tax
on the social security payments
Is that they are exempt from the
Federal income tax and also
from income taxes in many
States. including Maryland and
Virginia.
Small Amount Involved
The amount that the exemp-
ton would save social security
recipients is relatively small, but
whree persons have low income
the exemption would still be
beneficial.
Maximum social security. pay.
ments allowed to- 1lSls0li
amount to s1O8.5O per month.
and the maximum to q family IS
about $500 q month.
With the Districts 81 900 basic
exemption plus the standard de-.
duction Of either 10 per cent or
$500. only a small proportion Of
the social security payment is
subject to tax, Mr.. Bach pointed
out.
Mr.. Mcleod said today that
Mr.. Smith has asked to have
the proposed legislation ready By
next week, when It probably win
be taken up by q subcommittee
OF the District committee.
