WASHINGTON Wl Some peo
ple, making out their tax return
on Jadi income, are realizing now
the tax has crept up and socked
them.
Take a slnele man who has been
making $3,000 steadily for years.
He finds the tax on his 1961 ln
conrs was IT per cent higher than
on 1950 income ana a per cem
more thBn on 1949 income.
And the tax on his 1952 income
will be 33 per cent greater than the
tax on his 1949 Income. 1
The tax varies by individuals
nd Income. For example:
Take a single man who has been
making 15,000 steadily for years.
The tax on his 1951 income was
' 12.5 per cent more than on 1950 In
come ,nd 16.3 per cent more than
on 1949 income.
And the tax on his 1952 income
will be 27.3 per cent above that
on his 1949 income.
Here Is how we got Into this fix.
After the war taxes reached their
peak ln 1944 and 1945 Congress
cut taxes twice.
But ln the past 18 months it has
.raised them twice.
The first cut was on 1946 and
1947 Income. Then Congress cut
still further on 1948 and 1949 in
come to the lowest postwar point.
But In the fall of 1950, alter Ko
rea. Congress upped the tax and
then, in the fall of 1951, boosted
it again.
That tax Increase in late 1950 ap
plied to the last three months of
1950. So the tax you paid in 1951,
on 1950. income, was higher than
the tax you paid In 1950 on 1949
income.
The increase approved in 1950,
while affecting only three months
of your 1950 income, was to take
full effect in 1951, covering your
Income for all 12 months of-1951.
. But when Congress stepped ln
again In the fall of 1951 with still
another increase, it said the new
higher tax would apply to the last
two months of 1951 income and all
12 months of 1952 income.
So you can see how the tax you
Eay now ln 1952 on 1951 income
as shot up above the tax you paid
in 1951 on 1950 Income.
And in 1953, when you pay your
tax on 1952 income, it will be even
higher than the tax you're paying
in 1952 on 1951 Income.
Before looking at some examples
of how taxes have gone up. remem
ber there's a difference betwen
the percentage of your Income tak
en by taxes ar.d the percentage of
increase ln the tax Itself.
Take Jones. Single man. No de
pendents. Income, $3,000. He
claims only one exemption, his
own. And he takes the usual de
ductions. - He's been making $3,000 from
the beginning of 1949 when taxes
were at their lowest point after
the war.
In 1950, on 1949 income, he paid
$356. Which meant the tax took
11.8 per cent of his Income.
In 1951, on 1950 income he paid
373. which was 12.4 per cent of
his Income.
So the amount of his Income
paid out In taxes went up only 0.6
percentage points.
Subtract the 11.8 per cent In 1950
ixom the 12.4 per cent ln 1951.
But the increase ln his tax was
$17, which was an Increase of 4.8

worst, and both arc equally served
by the tamest of mankind. It Is
always anxious to lord it as a

"Ancient customs must be done
away with; ancient ties, civil and
sacred, must be broken; every
thing must be changed according
to new and false theories; and the
result Is an assimilation of demo

its habits, and modes of action."
Does that sound familiar to you?
Who said it? No. it wasn't Gener

Taft. No. It's not a reprint of one

In 1952. on 1951 Income, he pays
$435. which Is 14.5 per cent of his
Income, an increase of 2.1 percent
age points in the amount ot bis in
come taken by taxes.
But he's paying $o5 more than
in 1951. which is a 16.6 per cent

his income going ln taxes, an in
crease of 1.3 percentage points over
this year.
But the Increase over this year
is $39. a boost of 8.5 per cent.
Now compare the tax he'll pay
in 1953 on 1952 Income with the low
tax be paid ln 1950 on 1949 Income.
In 1953 he'll pay $474 on his 1952
Income, which will be 15.8 per cent
of his income. This is a difference
of only 4 percentage points over
the amount of his income taken
bv tax in 1950 on 1949 income when
he paid $356, which was 11.8 per
cent of his Income.
In 1953 he'll be paying $118 more
in taxes on his 1952 Income than
he did ln 1950 on 1949 Income,
which means an increase of 33 per

In '52
WASHINGTON Women will lie
mure limn "helpers" In the 1952
presidential campaign.
For one thing, more women than
men can vote In this country now,
ln 1950 there were 49.419.IHM wom
en eligible to vote and only 47,409,
000 men.
So both Republican mid Dem
ocratic National Onmmlltcea have
women voters, Boili women's (II
visloiui report that more women
are taking active purls In local
politics. They report larger num
bers oi younger women ere active.
And Republican headquarters finds
that they are enlisting more wom

Both Republican and Demucratlc
women leaders have been busv
throuiili 1911. For several yours
Ihe Democratic women have
worked on the slogan "Campaigns
are won between rlrcttuna." On
that slogan Ihry have kept parly
workers together fighting for local
bsues right through the four years
that Intervene between presidential
campaigns.
Now the Republican women are
hard at work on a campaign they
call "Work and Win."
Both women's divisions have em
phasised educational prugrnms to
uelp the voters understand issues
ami their eifect on Individual
homes. The women have turned
out such readable letters mid piun
phluui Unit now the major pan nl
tlielr output gucx to both men ami
women couny leaders for distri
bution to voters.
The Democratic women have
turned out a "Guide Book." The
Republican women are mailing out
a "Workers' Manual." Both detail
how to get acquainted wl'.h voters
in the precinct, how to explain
me isues, wnat to rio in
month of the campaign
the lul
and on
election (lay.
The Republican manual Is more
detailed. For example. Il show.i
the p.eclnct worker Just how to
make out cards on every voter In
the area, whether Republican,
Democrat or "Fair Deal Demo
crat." Tiie card a.iks that the precinct
captain find out whether the voter
Is registered, whether he needs
transportation on election day,
whether the family will need a
baby.sllter and whether members
of Ihe family will need absentee
ballots mailed to them.
Tills coming year women pre
cinct workers will be calling from
door-to.loor. Both parties art pol
ishing up whirlwind campaigns for
nerct October.
Women will man the motor pools
on election day. do the baby kit
ting, man the telephones to check
which of the registered voters have
failed to show up at the polls.
Both parties have handsome,
forceful women as the directors
of their women's divisions.
