BOOTLEG TRUCKERS
Unreguated Carriers Sir hon Off Millions (S) Yearly

the gray area" Of trucking,
which It estimated in 1860 was
siphoning off more than $500
million annually in revenues
from the regulated common
carriers.
What that figure amounts to
today Is uncertain, but in June
the ICC, in cooperation with
State officials. mounted a
seven-day road block in AZ
States to check on illegal OPP
erations. So far. the results
have not been released.
What does this mean to the
public? First, the carriers say,
the average person pays more
taxes because Of illegal trucking
The illegal trucker finds he
can evade tax laws as well as
he can transportation laws, so
the law-abiding citizen pays the
Q1IIerenCe.
The public also must pay
more for goods. Because
freight moved illegally takes
revenue away from legal car
riers, rates must go up to pay
fixed operating costs such as
labor. maintenance and equip
ment.
What is being done about It?
In the year ended April 30, the
ICC reported prosecuting a
record Of 895 gray area" court
cases, an increase Of 246 over
the previous IL months and
almost triple the 312 prosecut-
ed in 1856.
But the ICC Is handicapped
by q pitifully small enforce

powers. To help remedy this,
Senator Smathers, Democrat of
Florida, Is the author Of q bill
before the Senate Commerce
Committee which would broad

The ICC also has powerful
allies In two Washington
based carriers organizations,
the Committee on Transporta-
ton Practices CCoTP) and the
Committee Against Unlawful

CoTP has been investigating
trucking violations for two

CAUT, on the other hand, Is
a national organization spon-

YOUR MONEYS WORTH
What Tax Bill
Means to You-V

If you are IS years Of age
or older, you would get two
new, valuable tax breaks under
the 1858 tax bill-and in this
column, you will get an idea OF
what to do before January /,
1864, to qualify for the benefits
If the bill becomes law.
The first break covers ex-
penses for drugs and medicines.
Today, there are two general
limits on medical expense de-
auctions: only medical ex-
penses over 3 per cent Of a
taxpayers adjusted gross In
come are deductible; and drugs
and medicines are considered
medical expenses only to the
extent they exceed / per cent
Of the taxpayers gross income.
While the 3 per cent rule does
not apply to taxpayers IS or
over, or to a husband and wife
filing a joint return where
either Is IS or over, or to a
65-year or older parent who is
supported by his taxpayer child,
the l per cent rule does apply.
Say Jones is 66, has $4,000
Of adjusted gross income and
spends $3.50 during 1868 on
medicines and drugs. The /
per cent rule requires him to
disregard the first 500 Of his
drug and medicine expenses, so
he can deduct only $3.50 as
medical expenses this year.
The 1868 tax bill would knock
out the per cent rule for the
SIS and older group beginning
with 1864. If Jones spends the
same $3.50 on drugs and medi-
cines next year. he could de-
duct the entire amount instead
Of only $3.50 as In 1868.
Here's what the tax experts
Of the Research Institute of
America recommend you to do
If you would benefit under this
provision. If you haven't al
ready spent for drugs and med
icines an amount equal to /
per cent Of your expected ad-
justed gross income for 1868,
try not to pay for any more
this year. Either try to hold
off buying, If possible, or try
to charge what must be bought
and postpone actual payment
until 1854. BY doing this, you'll
get a chance to deduct those
payments If the bill becomes
law. Otherwise, you will never
get a chance to deduct, either
in 1868 or 1864, the amount
you pay UP to l per cent this
year.
The second break applies to
older persons who sell their
houses. Under today's law, If

Of $4,000 or less.
Say you're 66 and you sell

proportion Of $4,000 to $4,000
is half. This would make hall
of the $4,000 profit, or $4,000,

The key point to remember
Is that If this part Of the bill
