Newspaper Page Text6 A WEDNESDAY. Influence Work on Boys Noted "One of the reasons Ameri ca is so great is the attention we give our youth. There are four foundations on which to build the character of to morrow's leaders - home, church, school and commu nity." This is what Dr. Leonard Mayfield, superintendent of Medford public schools and vice president of Crater Lake Council, told the 110 people attending the recognition ban quet of Big Pines District of Boy Scouts. As featured speaker of the evening, Dr. Mayfield com mended the Scout leaders, tracing the long range influ ence of the work they are doing for this generation. Diiplay Presentations The banquet to honor lead ers and volunteers in this area was held at North's Chuck Wagon. Among the pre- Redden Sponsors Bill for Committee A bill which he describes as of "particular Interest to southern Oregon," has been introduced by Representative James A. Redden (D-Jackson). It calls for the creation of an interim committee to study power problems. The seven-man committee, consisting of three senators and four representatives, would be empowered to in vestigate, among other things, recent rate increases allowed by the Public Utilities Com mission; rate advantages, if any, held by adjoining states, and rale variances within the state. Redden Is co-sponsor with Representatives Edward J. Whelan (D - Portland), and Elmer McClure (D- Clackamas). HOW TO SAVE ON TAXES VIII New Depreciation Breaks Business andor professional men collectively should be able to save a total of $1.5 billion on their 1062 income tax returns by use of the new the Treasury Issued last year. The new Guidelines Is the ury s old Bulletin F in which listed for literally thousands of items in all kinds of business activities. The new Guidelines shortens the useful lives for deprecia tion all along the line (except for buildings). This shortening of useful lives can give you bigger depreciation deductions and thereby cut the tax you must pay as a businessman, pro fessional man or any one else who uses depreciable property in a business or a trade or to earn income. This shortening of useful lives which increases annual depreciation deductions, which in turn increases the amount of taxes by the deductions, is just one part of this important tax story. In addition, the now Guidolinei also groups all doprecl abla proptrty into about 70 "classes" with a uielul lilt lor each clait, instead of giving a separate useful life for each of thousands of different kinds of assets. Thus, you may us 20 different kinds of equipment in your business, all of which fall into the same "class." If the "class" lit is, say, six years, you are now ire to give each of the individual assets any useful life within reason as long as they all average out lo six years for the "class." Just this reshuffling of useful lives among various assets within a class can in certain situations produce a substantial tax savings for you even If the average class life remains exactly the same. Another potential lax break under the new Treasury Guidelines "class" depreciation rules comes from, believe It or not, the right to take further depreciation deductions on property and equipment which you have already fully depreciated. Here is how this can be: Most businessmen have figured depreciation on an Item by item basis or by segregating assets by year of acquisition. Under this method, as soon as an item or all the assets brought in a year are fully depreciated, depreciation slops for Hie item or for the assets in that year, even if the item or assets are still In use. For instance, say a business brought $10,000 of equip ment each year for 15 years and separated each year's purchases. Il look depreciation over a 10-year life. Under this method, the assets bought between 10 and IS years ago are already fully depreciated and no further deprecia tion is permitted on them. The business therefore takes $10,000 a year depreciation on $100,000 of equipment bought in the last 10 years. If the Treasury Guidelines is 10 years, there would seem preciauon arduclinris. But the new Guidelines group its assets In a multiple asset account lo correspond to a Guidelines class. And when Ihij Is done, depreciation lompuiea on the basis of all ready depreciated. So in tliis instance, the business could group its assets into one 10-ycar Guidelines class with a cost (basis) of $150.. 000 assuming the assets arc still in use. This one. simple step automatically increases yearly depreciation from $10,000 to $15,000 and you don't even need Treasury permision lo shift over to the multiple asset account method. (This in creased depreciation applirs only where the straight-line or um-of-the-riigits method is used ) Nexti The numbers gam.

MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, Room For One More Latest Recording Effort Pokes Fun at Professional Politicians By DICK WEST Washington -H'Pll- Someone once asked Will Rogers if the field of humor were crowded. "Only when Congress is in s e s s i o n," he began flood replied. Rog ers, of course, operated in the day before comedy rec ords, other wise known as wax yaks, Weil ing the market with high fidelity jokes and stereo phonic chuckles. Nowadays, the field of hu mor is crowded whether Con gress is in session or not. At least it is in my neighborhood. There always seems to be room for one more, however, and Rogers' quip will give you a fair idea of the type of stuff that is available in the latest comedy album to hit the turn tables. This on is different, all of the laughs begin provid ed by amateur comedians who are professional poli ticians. Most of the others were put together by pro fessional comedians who ars amateur politicians.

I enjoyed listening to it, but I thought it had two ma jor weaknesses: 1. The politicians whose bon mots are presented in the album were trying to be fun ny. To me, the best humor in Washington is unintentional. 2. It contains a rather pon derous introduction by news caster Chet Huntley. After hearing Huntley's comments, on the subject, I would even have trouble laughing at Brinkley. I mention this because I like lo quibble.

Others in the album cast include President Kennedy, Adlai Stevenson and Sen. Bar ry Goldwater (R-Ariz.), who explains why he would be willing to spend a term or two in the White House. According to Goldwater, "Nobody could turn down such a golden opportunity to advance his family." To my mind, however, the most entertaining portion of the record is occupied by for. mer Rep. Brooks Hays (D-Ark.) who now works at the White House in close proximity to Arthur Schlesinger, late of Harvard. Hays says someone once complained to him that he and Schlesinger spend their time "answering questions nobody has asked." Then there was Ihe one about the little old lady who was asked which politician she voted for. "I never vole," she sniffed. "It only encourages 'em."
