Income Tax Guide
Tailored For Farmers

The story Of a fictional James A.
Brown should make good reading
for Virginia farmers about this
time of year.
Mr.. Brown is the main char
acter in the 1860 edition of the
Farmers Tax Guide" now avail
able from agricultural agents in all
counties.
Agricultural economists at VPI
point out that there aren't many
changes in income tax require
ments for farmers this year. How
ever, the new edition of the Farm
ers' Tax Guide has a few added
items, and some clearer expla-
nations. One change. is the increase
in self-employment tax. For the
1853 tax year the rate is three and
three-folnths per cent. This is high
er than for 1858 and it will 60 up
another step for the 1860 year.
The guide, prepared by the In
ternal Revenue Service, with the
assistance of the Agricultural Ex-
tension Service. presents informa
ton II plain language, using the
mythical Mr.. Brown to help
Clarity certain situations.
As fer Mr. Brown: His wife S
namc is Jane, and they have one
child. There is a mortgage on the
tarm, but he's apparently paying
It off steadily. The Browns had a
few strokes of bad luck last year.
A dairy COW was killed by lightning.
and one of the cars was wrecked.
All in all, though, it was a fairly
good year. and the Browns made
THEN usual contributions to the
church. the Red Cross. the com
nunity chest, and the Girl Scouts.
Any farmer should be able to drum
up certain amount of empathy
with Mr. Brown.
No note is made of what ever
happened 10 John Doe.

It is possible occasionally for
social security benefits to be in
creased after an individual has
started receiving payments. There
are certain requirements, however.
before a recomputation as the in
crease is termed can be used.
There are two main recomputa
tons that are used at present The
first is called a currenp year re-
computation and is the easiest one
to receive. It simply means that
the earnings III the year that All
application for benefits is filed can
be added to the other earnings For
example, a person filing FOR benefits
in November continues to work until
the end Of the year. His total earn
ines are as much or more than the
earnings for the previous years,
which were used III figuring his
benefit amount II those cases the
current years earnings are then
added to the other amounts and his
benefit is increased. This recompu-

Permit Comes First

Kay Ellen HeiSe, IA, a student at Lackey
High School in Indian Head, Md, says, "It'S
mostly when you're younger that you like to
ride bike" and thinks her hiking probably
will end after she gets her drivers permit.
Social stigma" (meaning the feeling
that bikes are for kids will be the deciding
factor in whether teen-agerS take part in
cycling program, according to Duncan Camp
bell.
Duncan, 15-year-old junior at O'Con-
nell High in Virginia, says this stigma"
prevalent especially among girls, becomes
more marked as the teen-ager grows older
But" he says of cycling in Europe and
many American college towns, "if you look
at it from the mature point of view, it's the
practical thing to do"
Because teen-agerS don't find it neceS-
Sary to walk, Duncan says, Its just natural
for this to show up as decline in muscles
sports don't concentrate on caliSthenics, but
on sportsmanship.
The ideal thing" Duncan adds, "would
be bicycle paths along highways, where it is
practical. And if more people rode bikes,
people would get used to them"
In any case, it appears that the propo-
nentS of "bikeS instead Of cars" have their
work cut out for them. .,t-,,

BIKES INSTEAD OF CARS?

If cycling were made a sport, an organized
sport, it woud succeed because "most of
us like being observers especially girls"
Glenda says
Oliver Kyle, 18, a senior at Wheaton
High, says the teens could be sold on the
bicycle-motor scooter idea if the approach
were gradual The Maryland youth, who owns
VeSpa scooter, suggests it be established as
an inter-ScholaStic sport.
But as "sold" as he is on two-wheelerS,
even Oliver sees disadvantage. after got
my drivers license, the scooter just didn't
seem to take me far enough" he says.
Europeans, however, travel hundreds OF
miles on bikeS-SometimeS on single week
end. And their dates are regular passengers,
even with the girls dressed in gowns for
formal outing.
While many of the teens were cool to
the suggestion, they saw great benefits for
adults. "They stop walking and then get
fat" says Oliver.
Joining Oliver in supporting adult cy-
cling was SuSette Picot, Is, an eighth grader
at Rollingcrest Junior High SuSette, who
likes hiking because lit makes me feel better"
says she thinks her friends would take part
in cycling program, too.
Some Disagree
Among the forceful diSSenterS is Rod
erick Harrington, II, senior at Eastern
High. "The auto has taken over and the
teen-ager feels too old to ride bicycles" he
says.
The traffic safety factors also appears
important to the teens.
"At least you wouldn't be out on the
streets hot-rodding," says jeanne PreSutti,
17-year-old senior at st. Cecilia's Academy.
Because riding bikes would be "a farce"
to older teen-agerS, jeanne says the way to
success lies in long-range program: "They
should get the younger teen-agerS interested
first" she argues.
Stephen Hiltabidle, IA, agrees that older
teens would consider bike riding "a dis
grace" only because they're used to cars.
His friends are ardent cyclists, he says.
An eighth grader at Eastern Junior High,
Stephen, who, along with his brother John,
Is, has "high-riding" bike (see cover page),
takes European cycling with grain of salt:
"A higher standard of living" here means we
don't have to do so much hiking.
John, 10th grader at Northwood High,
suggests the program might be initiated
through school gym classes, but predicted
"it wouldn't go over too big" with the upper
claSSmen.
There was unanimity, though, on the
physical value of hiking.
Kathy Bright, ninth grader at Rolling
crest says cycling would help fill a need for

more exercise than is provided in school
gyms.
Kathy stuck up for the adults, too
They're too old for cycling" she declares.
But you also see many teen-agers going
to pot" argues Phil Lester, 16, junior at
J. E. B. Stuart High in Fairfax County, so
the claims of Americas muscular deteriora-
ton might be partially true"
Phil suggests the psychological approach
to getting cycling across to teen-agerS. Rec
reation officials, he says, 'ought to try to
work it somehow so it would become fad"

holders, or II percent of the entire popula-
ton.
How much does it come to on the family
level? In the State of Ohio, the average fam
lily has an amount Of insurance equal to it's
net earnings, after taxes, over a period of
1910 months.
Applying this average to Noble county,
for which latest figures from Sales Manage
ment show the disposable income per house
hold to be $4,330 a year, the average family's
ownership of life insurance is an indicated
$6,840
This compares favorably with the aver
age in 1855, when it amounted to $4,760 per
family.
For all local families combined it adds
up to some $22572,000.
The rise in life insurance ownership in
the United States has been keeping pace in
a general way, with the growth in the econ
omy. When times are good people boost
their holdings. When there is a depression
they sit tight.
Men continue to own the major share of
such insurance but women have been rapidly
increasing their share Of the total in the last
decade.

The President Speaks

plause was liberal. But the most pronounced
and prolonged came at point in the speech
hardly calculated to raise cheers from a
spending" Congress.
The President had ticked off the mag
ging disorders" that distress the nation as
labor disputes, antiquated farm legislation,
initiation and "in certain instances the denial
to some of our citizens of equal protection of
the law. He urged that we must try living
within our means" and accept "stern self-dis-
cipline" to avoid the "crippling tax" of infla-
ton. Then he said:
Zone ajor method by which the Feder-
al Government can counter initiation and ris-
ing prices is to insure that its expenditures
are below its revenues"
And then it was that the Congressional
cheers and hand-clapping reached their eli
max! The Chief Executive went on to an
nounce that he would submit a balanced bud
get of $79.8 billion with surplus of $42 bill
lion that should be applied against our 1920
billion national debt saving 5000 million a
year in interest.
But we shall see what we shall see The
business of politics-as-usual was to resume

Well Insured

Residents of Noble county have been
adding to their life insurance holdings IN re-
cent years.
Enabling them to do so is the fact that 1t
is now easier than it once was to qualify for
life insurance and the fact that local people
have improved their economic position, max
ing it possible for them to broaden this form
of protection.
The result is that the capital amount of
life insurance in force in Noble county has
reached an estimated So, $4,000.
Putting more money into this type OF
family security is but one Of several steps
that local residents have been taking to
guard their future. Another has been to in
crease their reserves in the direction OF bank
deposits and investments.
Figures on the subject, for the country
at large and for each of the states, are con-
tanned in the current Life Insurance Fact
Book.
They show that the American people
have built an enormous financial bulWark in
the form of life insurance. 1t amounts to the
staggering sum of $3.50 billion, of which
$3O,066 coo is in the State of Ohio.
Participating in it are 124 million policy

warning that they were out to catch man.
If the edge of a scarlet petticoat wasn't clear
ly visible, man was absolved from paying
the forfeit.
France repeatedly passed similar law
and the ladies of Florence and Genoa are said
to have been given the privilege before Co.
lumbus sailed to America.
The gallant English supposedly didn't
need law to make them give the fair but
single sex break But they backed up the
custom by depriving man of benefit OF
clergy if he scoffed at leap year proposal.
Even if he didn't hurt the ladys feelings

President Eisenhower's As minute ad-
dress to the Joint session of Congress on jan
uary - despite it's double-talk on initiation,
on Federal concern for problems such as ur-
ban planning and education, which he en-
phasized were state and local matters - pro-
vided eloquent testimony on our accelerat-
ing drift into globalism.
This was basically state-of-the-World
address, and dealt only incidentally with the
state of the Union. Most encouraging, per-
haps, was the variously repeated thought
that the time has come for the other free ma
tons that are prepared to assist" to help
carry the financial burden of aid to backward
and undeveloped nations The President also
pointed out as an indispensable element of
the aid program the necessity for national
discipline in the aided countries to make the
best use of assistance received. The assur-
ances of our strong defense posture were also
heartening even if given in terms that
were perhaps necessarily vague.
Reconvening in the usual high spirits -
accentuated, perhaps, by the added excite
ment of Presidential election year - the halls
of Congress were still overflowing with
gemutlcheit as the President was escorted
to the rostrum of the House chamber. APP

It's Leap Year

It's Leap Year again and you can
blame the Scots for declaring it open season
on bachelors.
They probably saw the custom of letting
a woman pop the question as way to put
money in the treasury and take spinsters off
the welfare rolls.
According to the research of World Book
Encyclopedia Scotland is said to have de-
creed in 1888 that ladies "of bottle highe and
lowe estat" shall have the privilege of pro-
posing during leap years.
If man refused the offer, he was fined
as much as one pound =. unless he could
show that another woman had prior claim
on his affections.

ters struck for a So per day
increase. They won their strike.
They gained a So per day in
crease in the rate of pay, but
they did not get it. They re-
ceived some fringe benefits.
The taxes on these 'fringe"
benefits, together with the
taxes on their other 'gains"
made the increase in "take-
home pay" almost non-eXistent.
One plasterer told this writer
that his total gain in take
home pay for a full weeks
work was Is cents, and that
this would never in his life
time offset the loss he suffered
by his weeks out of work to
win these "gains."
Have you wondered why
labor is not satisfied with the
Wondrous "gains" we have
heard about in recent years?
The rates of pay have sky
rocketed, but after the tax bite
there is no more abundance
than before. If the rate of pay
and the 'take-home pay"
meant the same thing there
would be little economic strife
in America. But they are not
the same. Thus there is always
the demand for more "take-
home pay" which labor thought
was won the last time the argu-
ment took place.
We face a fact. Labor lead
ers can not promise a substan-
tial increase in "take-home
pay" to be taken from the en-
ployer, and he can not assure
that any increase in pay will
produce an increase in stand
ard Of living, particularly when
the tax collector takes his
lions share.
Politicians, Judging from the
performance of the House
Ways and Means Committee,
are not even going to pretend
to promise the American
people more "take-home pay"
There is, however, the prepara-
ton for an increase in taxes

LABOR AND TAXES IN 1860

The tax hearings recently
staged by the House Ways and
Means Committee give warning
that the looting Of labor will
again be the primary political
activity for 1860. This has be-
come evident by the rejection
of testimony dealing with tax
reduction, and the build-up
given the selected testimony
clamOring for more taxes from
more people.
Thus the stage has been set
for another round of tax in
creases and initiation, both of
which will be designed to
Syphon more Of the produc-
tiVity of labor into the hands of
bureaucratic empire builders.
For the first time in a great
many years there is some well
developed resistance to the
tax and initiate processes of
bureaucracy. The antagonism
to income taxes has grown
large and militant.
Labor has come to resist the
political take-over of private
business because, when labor
works for private enterprises,
hours Of employment, rates of
pay and conditions of labor can
be fairly discussed, but when
government is the employer
labor can not talk with anyone
about hours, pay or conditions
of labor. If you doubt this fact,
ask your postman.
Labor is also becoming
acutely aware of how taxes
subtract from take-home pay
Recently in Los Angeles plas-
