INCOME TAX FACTS
for NOBLE COUNTIANS
This is the first in a series
of four articles on federal in
come taxes. The articles are
based on information provided
by the American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants
and the Ohio Society of Cer
tified Public Accountants.
You still have time—but not
much time—to do a little year
end tax planning and assure
yourself of the best possible
break when you file your tax
return next April.
Millions of high, low and
middle income taxpayers, real
izing that careful planning of
their financial affairs between
now and the first of the year
can pay off handsomely when
the tax collector calls next
spring, have already begun to
establish those extra deductions
and special exemptions that will
reduce their tax bills.
You can do this too,
but you must act no later
than December 31
To alert you to the lax-saving
steps you may be able to take
before the end of the year, this
newspaper is printing a series
of articles prepared with the
help of the national and state
organizations of certified public
accountants. These articles if
you keep them and follow their
advice may save you money.
And remember that a tax penny
saved is more than a regular
penny earned, because you don't
have to pay a tax on it.
Evaluate Income Prospect^
Many taxpayers have good
and bad income years, depending
on the success or failure of per
sonal investments and business
conditions in general. While this
cannot always be avoided, the
effect should be anticipated.
Sound year-end tax planning re
quires that you know fairly well
what your income prospects will
be for 1957 and 1958.
If you are like most individual
taxpayers, your goal at this time
should be to level out income
for this year and next year
Needless or careless bunching ox
income in either year can be
costly. The sharp bite of today
progressive tax rates—which you
can assume will be as high or
possibly only slightly less in
1958 makes it much better to
have an income of $8,000 in each
of two years, rather than $6,000
in one and $10,000 in the other.
Taxpayers who are in danger
of being whiplashed from one
tax bracket to another because
of wide fluctuations in their
1957 and 1958 income should act
before December 31 to try to
average out their taxable earn
ings. This can be done by care
ful shifting of income and deduc
tions from one year to the next.
How To Shift Income
If your two-year income esti
mate shows that your income for
this year will be significantly
higher than next year's, you
should take immediate steps to
throw as much income as pos-

sible from 1957 to 1958. At the
same time you should speed-up
the payment of all expenses that
can be deducted on your 1957
return. By concentrating deduc
tions in the higher year and
switching income to the lower,
you will keep your taxes for
both years in the lowest possible
tax bracket.
Should you be faced with the
more desirable problem of
sizeable increase in your 1958
income, reverse this procedure
delay expenses and speed-up in
come if you can.
Timing income and deductions
to gain a tax advantage is not
too difficult for the millions of
taxpayers who file returns on
the basis of cash receipts and
cash disbursements. Since their
earnings are taxable only after
payment is received, "cash basis"
business and professional men
can shift income by simply de
laying or speeeding-up th col
lection of accounts receivable
near the end of the year. Sales
men and contractors can do the
same thing by extending or clos
ing deals that may be pending
in November or December.
Farmers who operate on a cash
basis can accelerate or postpone
income by proper timing of the
sales of their crops or livestock
While their income will be tax
able in the year cash is received,
the full costs of raising crops or
cattle are deductible for the year
in which the costs were paid.
One look at an Internal Re
venue Service table of tax rates
will prove the hard dollar and
cents advantages of a few year
end income shifts. The taxpayer
who expects his income to drop
from the 40 per cent bracket this
year to a 30 per cent bracket
in 1958, can save $100 for every
$1,000 of income he manages to
put off until after January 1.
Special Income Situations
There are special situations in
which it can be advantageous
.0
bunch income in a single tax
year. For example, a husband
ind wife can file a joint return
„o gain the benefits of income
plitting. Should one of them die,
the survivor may file a joint
i/eturn for the year in which the
jpouse died and also for two
succeeding years under certain
conditions. Thus, a widow or
widower may profit by throwing
more income into this year and
less into next if his or her spouse
died in 1955. since the privilege
of filing a joint return will be
lost in all cases in 1958.
If you are planning to be mar
ried in 1958, remember that the
income-splitting privileges you
gain will act like a rate cut for
you. At $7,000 of income, your
taxes will be $240 less than if
you were single, assuming that
you take the standard deduction
and claim only exemptions for
you and your wife. For this rea
son, young couples planning
mari'iage might consider post
poning income from 1957 to
1958, while accelerating deduc
tions from 1958 to 1957.
A final suggestion to holders
of U. S. Savings and War Bonds:
if you are trying to accelerate
income on your 1957 tax return,
you might consider reporting the
interest that has accrued on your
bonds. A point to keep in mind,
however, is that in the future
you will have to go on reporting
interest as it accrues, rather than
in the years the bonds mature.

THIS WEEK
—in Washington
With
Clinton Davidson
Maybe you dont
believe in ghosts,
but you'd have a
hard time convinc
ing Ezra Taft Ben
son that there isnt
one hiding somewhere in his office.
Seven years ago another man
sat in the Secretary of Agricul
ture's chair in that same office and
there appeared on his desk mys
teriously and as if by magic thirty
typewritten pages called farm
plan.
That man, of course, was Charles
Brannan and the plan came to
bear his name. He never claimed
that he wrote it. but he never
would tell who did or where it
came from.
The plan became, and remains
today, one of the great unsolved
mysteries of Washing ton. It lived
only a short time, having died a
violent death at the hands of an
outraged Congress.
Homeless, except in the minds
of a few firm believers, the Bran
nan Plan ghost has reappeared
year after year to haunt Capitol
Hill and the Department of Agri
culture.
Time and again Congress has
slammed the door in its face, but
it refuses to go away. Once, three
years ago, it reapieared as a wool
payment program bill and slippeu
through Congress by using an "in
centive payment plan" alias.
The Brannan Plan itself is ab
surdly simple in its basic form:
Let farmers sell their products at
whatever they will bring on the
open market. Then pay them the
difference between the selling
prices and parity.
That way. so its proponents
argue, farmers would get a good
income and consumers would get
their food, and other farm products
cheaply. The big arguing point has
been: How much would that cost
the government?
Earlier this year Congress asked
Secretary Benson to answer the
cost question. He didnt lrnow, but
he promised to have a study made.
Now he has given Congress his
answer—somewhere between $75
and $10.5 billion a year.
That may or may not be the
correct answer, but it certainly has
started another hot and furious
argument. Brannanites argue that
it is way too high, and they accuse
Benson of putting the plan in its
worst possible light.
Benson attempted to show what
the Plan might do by 1962 if there
were no limits placed on produc
tion and the government paid
farmers the difference between
market prices and only 90% of
parity.
By and large prices received by
farmers likely would decline by
50%. Com might sell at 75* a
bushel, hogs for $10 a cwt., beef
cattle for $15, eggs for 23# a dozen,
wheat for $1 a bushel, cotton for
lfl and milk for $2.50 a cwt.
If controls were removed farm
ers would increase total production
by one-third, and we'd have sur
pluses several times as great as
now. Farmers would get about
half of their income in government
checks. USD
A would hire 25,000
people to administer the program.
Consumers would get about a
20% reduction in their food bill.
That's because the prices of farm
produce increases, on the average,
two and a half times between the
producer and the consumer. Thus,
a 50'% reduction in farmers' selling
price would mean only a 20% de
crease in prices to consumers.
Taxpayers would hold the bag,
to the tune of a 10% to 15'i in
crease in their tax bill. We'd have
boondoglers boondoglii boondog
lers and the New Deal would look
like something J. P. Morgan
dreamed up.

VETERANS
Questions aivl Answers
Q—Since my isnn i& transfer
ring me to another city, I want
to sell my GI house and get my
loan rights restored so I can buy
another one. How do I get things
started?
A—Write a letter to your VA
Regional Office explaining the
situation. Include your certificate
of eligibility for a GI loan, if you
have it,
01
else your discharge
paper. Also include a statement
from your employer to the effect
that you are being transferred
VA will tell you what else is
needed, after you have taken this
step.
Q—Is it possible to start school
under the War Orphans Educa
tion program if a young person
is under 19 years of age?
A—Yes, if he or .she has quit
or graduated from high school,
is above the age of compulsory
school attendance in his state,
and VA finds it would be in the
applicant's best interest to begin
training before he reaches age
18.
Q—I am a totally disabled
World War II veteran. I want to
convert my GI term insurance
policy to a permanent plan. Will
my disability limit the choice of
permanent plans that are avail
able to me?
A—Yes. Endowment policie:
are not available to totally dis
abled veterans. However, you do
have a choice of ordinary life,
2U-pay life or 30-pay life.
Q—I am enrolled in school
under the Korean GI Bill and I
want to change my course,
have never changed courses be
fore. Could I take VA vocational
counseling to help me make sure
my new course will be the best
for me?
A—Yes. On the VA form for
changing courses, indicate that
you want vocational counseling.
VA will set up an appointment
for vou.
Q—My World War II GI term
insurance policy lapsed two
months ago. I'd like to reinstate
and, at the same time, convert
to a permanent plan. What
premiums will I have to pay?
A—You will have to pay one
monthly premium at the term
rate plus the first premium at
the rate required by your new
permanent policy. Also, you must
sign a statement that you are in
as good health as you were when
the term policy lapsed.
•Q—If a school drops a veteran
enrolled under the Korean GI
Bill because of too many
absences, would he be allowed to
make his one-and-only change of
course and study something else?
A—Only if he can establish
that his unsatisfactory attend
ance record was due to reasons
beyond his control. If he cannot
establish this fact, he will be
denied further training, under
the law.
Q—I understand that World
War II veterans must apply for
GI loans before July 25, 1958.
Does this mean I actually must
have obtained my GI loan money
before this date?
A—Not necessarily. Instead,
the lender must have agreed to
make you the loan, and must
have requested VA's approval,
before the deadline date.
q—My daughter is eligible for
schooling under the War Orphans
Education program. Would she be
permitted to attend school in
France?
A—No. War Orphans schooling
in educational institutions out

a definite vocational goal.
Q—I am a Korea veteran with
a dental condition for which I
have a zero percent disability
rating for purposes of dental
treatment. Would that entitle me
to the special Korean GI insur
ance available to service-dis
abled Korea veterans?
A—No. The insurance may not
be granted if the disability is a
dental condition for which a
rating was made only for pur
poses of dental treatment.
q—1 expect to retire from my
job soon. If I sell my GI house
and move to another' city, could
I get my entitlement restored
for another GI loan?
A—Yes, provided VA is reliev
ed of liability on the old guar
antee.
Q—I am a disabled Korea
veteran and I hold a routine job
that doesn't interfere with my
handicap. I would like to take
vocational rehabilitation training
to prepare for a better job with
a future. Does the fact that I'm
working mean I have given up
my right to train?
A—Not necessarily. If your
disability is service-connected

where they are not living to
gether or where all or part of
the wife's benefit is based upon
her own record of work under
social security. Any person who
has a special need for a separate
check may, when he gets his
notice, arrange with his social
security office for his payments
to continue by separate check.
With more than 10 million
men. women and children re
ceiving monthly social security
benefits, and with the number
increasing each month, the total
cos$ of issuing checks has be
come a major concern of the
Social Security Administration
and of the Treasury Department.
It costs'ymore than 5 cents to pre
pare and mail each check, in
cluding postage, check stock,
envelope: manpower, and other
supplies and equipment.
If payment by separate check
was continued to the more than
1,700.000 wives (or dependent
husbands) of retired workers
now on the social security bene

the issuance of 20,400,000 checks
per year. .Even with the con­

receiving separate social security bene­
fit checks as husband and wife will be notified in subsequent
months, Youmans said, "usually
at least two months before they
will be paid their first combined
checks."
"This n w payment procedure
is expected to save the govern
ment about $1 million a year.
Payment of only one check, rep
resenting the combined monthly
benefit amounts of a retired
worker and his wife, was started
on a trial basis in September,
1956, but was limited mainly to
families in which the wife first
became entitled to benefits in
September, 1956, or later. In its
10 months of operation, the new
payment method has proved suc
cessful and productive of sub
stantial savings." Youmans said,
"and will therefore be extended,
beginning an January. 1958. to
elderly couples who were on the
social security i"M before Sep
tember. 1956.'
tinued issuance of separate
checks to couples who are living
apart and to those who for some
other reason prefer to be paid
separately, savings are expected
to amount to at least $1,000,000
annually.
Mr. Youmans pointed out that
the combination of a husband's
and a wife's benefits into a single
check in no way affects the right
of either one of them to his or
her benefit, or the amount of
that benefit. Both of them mus't
sign their names on the back
of the check before cashed.
Pause For Reflection
Henry Wadsworui Longfellow
said that "the true glory of a
nation consists ... in the exteni
of its mental power—the majesty
of its intellect—the height, and
depth, and purity of its moral
nature."
If we are to judge America
on these scores by what she
reads, the kind of entertainment
she patronizes, and the com
mercialized vices she supports,
there will certainly not be much,
"true glory" revealed.
If we are to judge America on
these scores by what she reads,
the kind of entertainment she
patronizes, and the commercial
ized vices she supports, there
will certainly not be such "true
glory" revealed.
If a novel cannot jbe called
"lusty." it seems to have little
chance of success nowadays. If
a motion picture or stage play.,
is not sordid or sensational, it
(with a few notable exceptions)
is not held over for an extended
run. And whole cities built on
little else but vice are now drawl
ing huge patronage l'rom al\
over America.
Whatever majesty of intellect"
and purity of moral nature
America may have had aforetime
are certainly not much in evid
ence at the present moment. If
our nation is to attain unto the.
true glory pictured by Long
fellow, there are going to have
to be some pretty drastic
changes made in our' habits o£
thought and ways of living—and
that means in what you and I
think and do.
