The main point is how these usiness - connected expense d. ductions for employes are handled. The first type of deduction deals with reimbursed expenses other than travel and transportation. If your employer pays you an "ex pense account" or otherwise re imburses you for money you spent for him in connection with vour job, you should add these "pay- i Westerners are sweet on " Spreckels new Powdered Sugar t I I I I I f .'caue it's 50 finer thon ever before I Yep, finer than any other brand- for the smoothest, creamiest, yummieit froit ings of all I M mjm mm m m m m .

"it can compound into a Enter the result as your total : doubling of the price level by wages for the year. , 1975." I Fratar B. Wilde, chairman of Exclusion of sick nav from in-: the iwarrh and nnlicv commit. ome: Line t on Paae 'l of Form imu proviues space wnere you can i make this dedaction from income u you were in or injured last year and continued to receive pay from your employer. A provision in the tax code permits you to do this, within certain limits and under certain conditions. The disability pay you receive while absent must come from a wage continuation plan financed by your employer. The amount you may exclude is limited to a week ly rate of $100. Here are the sick pay rules that can save you money on taxes: If your absence from work is due to an injury, your sick pay ex clusion from income begins with the first day you miss. In the case of sickness, it be gins only with your second week's sick pay. However, if you are hos pitalized at least one day during the period of illness, the exclusion begins with your first day of ab sence, the same as for an injury. It is easy' to figure out the amount of your income you can set aside or exclude, tax free, as sick pay. The top amount you can claim is $100 a week no matter what your salary may be. Therefore, if you make anything up to and in cluding $100 a week, you can ex clude all the sick pay you receive. The exception is that the first week of illness not injury does not count unless you were hospitalized as explained above. You determine your daily rale of pay by dividing your weekly rate of pay by the number of days you normally work in a week. You multiply this daily rate of pay by the number of work days vnn were ahsent and naid. That is the total amount you can exclude, If you earn more than S100 a week, vou must remember that the top rate is $100. Therefore, you get your exclusion like this: Divide $100 (the limit) by the number of days in your normal work week. That gives you your daily exclusion. Then multiply that daily exclusion by the number of work days you were absent. That gives you your total exclu sion. Again, keep in mind that the first week of illness does not count unless you were hospitalized some time during that first week.

Inflation Seen As Great Danger By Industrialists By JOf HALL WASHINGTON I Two lead ing business spokesmen Wednes day cited inflation as the key problem facing the nation but a top . labor leader said business might turn down in the last half tee of the Committee for Econom- ic Development (LED), said Vie are now faced with the danger of a long-term and persistent infla tionary trend. "We must conclude that infla tion is an intolerable, unacceptable and unsustainable way of life and will ultimately lead to full unem ployment." George Meany. president of the AFL-CIO, said the economy is at verv high levels now but appears to be faltering a bit, particularly in the sectors of plant expansion and consumer demand. "There is the possibility, there fore, that national economic ac tivities may taper off or even turn down about mid:year," Meany said. The views of the NAM and Meanv were in statements sub mitted to the Senate-House Eco nomic Committee. Wilde's testi mony was prepared for the same group. He said he was not neces sarily speaking for CED, a re search organization sponsored by businessmen. Paul Ewing Handling Kaiser Public Relation SPOKANE I Paul F.

Salem The 40 finalists will come to Yaquina Harbor Work Stressed By Neuberger WASHINGTON UP - Plans to start work en a pulp plant near Juneau, Alaska, in 1959 make I early construction of the Yaquina nay, ure., narrjor project essen tial. Sen. Neuberger (D-Ore) said Tuesday. The pulp plant, planned by the Georgia-Pacific Co, would ship its output through the Oregon har bor to Toledo. Ore., for blending with other pulp. At the Senate Public Works Sub committee hearing, Neuberger said Georgia-Pacific plans to start construction of its Alaska plant in 1959 and to have it in operation by 1961. The Budget Bureau has opposed construction of a Yaquina Bay project. Army Engineers told the com mittee the Budget Bureau is not opposed to authorization of the 19 million dollar harbor project "but has put a flag on any appro priation." The bureau's opposition is based on the belief that the project is not required without the shipping from the Alaska mill. Neuberger differed. He contend ed the project would create suf ficient benefits for existing ship ping to be economically justified.
