Jackson College
Choir Returns
After Successful
Eastern Tour

That there is no rest for the
weary might very well be true
when the jackson State College
Concert Choir is considered. This
fine musical organization returned
to the campus Monday morning
recently, at approximately 4 o'clock
following 12-day tour which car
ried them to New York City where
they appeared at Town Hall Satur-
day, March l, before a relatively
small but very warm audience and
where they sang Monday afternoon,
March 8, over Radio Station
WWRL, and at Lincoln University,
Pa; Gadsden, Ala; Hampton In
stitute. Va; and Washington, D. c..
The Choir's tour was tremendous
success and according to reports,
a return visit to Washington and
New York is already being con-
sidered. But the Eastern tour
was just one part Of the ambitious
schedule lined up for DR.. Robert
Henry and his singers for this sea-
son. The Chior is scheduled to
leave on a second tour Sunday,
March 80. On this tour they will
appear in Clarksdale, Miss, and
Memphis, Tenn, March 80; St.
Louis, Mo-, March 81; Chicago,
ILL.,, April l; and Gary, Ind, April
2. In between times the Choir
will make customary appearances
doing programs here on the col
lege campus.

Farm Job -.
CONTINUED from Page One)

farm employment has been going
downward steadily since 1885.
Since that date, the number Of per-
sons employed on farms of the 400
farmers interviewed in the nine
States planted seed that had been
treated with fungicides to prevent
Seeding diseases; 81 percent plant
ed recommended varieties, more
than half have had their soil test
ed, and 80 percent used fertilizer.
Other practices included: check
ing for insects, 81 percent; apply
ing insecticides, Sc percent; and
crop rotation, 70 percent.
The study also indicates in
creased use Of INFLAMMATION and
technology in the cultivation and
harvest of cotton. OF the farmers
interviewed, 174 used rotary hoes !;
26 used pre-emergent weed killers,
SO used herbicidal oils, flame Gull
tivators, or mechanical choppers.
At harvest time, more than a
fourth Of the farmers used mechan-
ical pickers. Three percent of
these gathered their entire crop by
machine, while 81 percent harvest
ed theirs entirely by hand.
While most of the farmers fol-
lowed recommended practices in
the cultivation and harvest of their
cotton, not enough farmers were
concerned about careful and eff
ficient marketing of their crop,
says DR.. Raudabaugh.

Income Tax
canges Overdue
In Congress

Congressional action is long
overdue on rising personal exemp-
tions and lowering the first rate
bracket in the nations income tax
laws.
The drift away in recent years
from taxes based on ability to pay
has accentuated this need, the
AFL-CIO Dept. of Research says in
its current Labor's Economic Re-
view.
The pattern of tax laws over the
last 10 years has been to inflict an
undue tax burden on wage earners
and other low and moderate in
come families, says the Review.
This trend has been evident at all
levels of government with the
increase in sales and other re-
gressive taxes and the federal tax
changes enacted in 1854.
Besides. increasing the personal
exemption from $500 to $7OO and
lowering the first bracket rate
from its present 20 percent, the
Review calls for closing a number
of tax loopholes and provisions
favoring business and persons in
upper income brackets.
The 5000 exemption was first set
up in 1913 and has remained I'M
changed despite 10 percent rise
in the Consumer Price Index which
would bring the figure to $713.
On the first bracket rate of 20
percent, the Review notes that it
is the steepest in the entire income

tax structure bridging the gap from
non-taxable to taxable income.
The Review points out that ian
increasing number of prominent
tax experts, as well as organized
labor, have argued that this 20
per cent rate should be changed
and that lower rate should be es-
tablished for at least part of the
first income tax bracket"
While action has been lacking in
these two vital areas, the Dept. of
Research publication says, since
1948 many special benefits have
been enacted for upper income tax
payers including the split income
provision, A percent tax credit
on all divident income, enlargement
of the depletion provisions for
natural resources and greater lee
way for figuring income as CAPT
tai gains taxable at a lower rate.
AS result of these benefits,
says the Review, "many upper in
come taxpayers with the same in
come actually pay lower taxes in
1858 than in 1948."
Another inequity in the tax sys-
tenn, the publication points out, is
the collection of taxes. The most
recent figures show that 95 percent
of all wage and salary income was
reported as against 81 percent for
dividends, 80 percent for income
and 70 percent for income of the
self employed.
The Review adds:
"While American workers rec
ognize the necessity for the very
efficient withholding system, they
would appreciate it more if the
withholding system, could apply
with equal efficiency to all types
of income other than wages and
salaries"
