"How would you," the young
man asked, "Like to have the sub

Uh-huh.
"Take me, for Instance, a repre

years, one baby, a white collar
man.)
"I can't see that this country Is
the land of opportunity like It was
once Vou can't take a chance and
make a killing any more; you can't
tave up from a salary and get
ahead. Government regulations
take care of that.
"If you made a million dollars,
the government would take ninety

In the scheme of tilings to save
and make something with it."
When the state ratified the 16th
amendment in 1913 which stated,
"The Congress shall have the pow
er to lay and collect taxes on in
comes, from whatever source de
rived, without apportionment
among the several states, and with
out regard to any census or enum
eration," it took the first step to
ward socialism.
The Income tax is a vicious and
undermining Influence because it
taxes industry and efficiency, the
qualities that made the country
great.
But think of the security you
have
' Mister, you're a radical, though
most people would call you a re

things. Maybe you'll infect some

Maybe it will take some fresh

Taxation without representation
v. as the British thorn-in-the-side
that the colonies resented. The
trainers of the Constitution rea
lised that If the voting of approp
riations by Congress was to be on
a basis proportional to population,
the taxes levied to meet these ap
propriations must be on Uie same
basis.
The progressive income tax has
destroyed this fundamental prac
tice. It has resulted in the ex
penditures of money at popular re
quest without assessment of the
full cost of the appropriation against
those who would benefit
Without this amendment, allow
ing the income tax, any socializa
tion of our economy would have
been impossible. No person would
favor surrendering his money to
the government part to be paid
back for the things vote-seeking
government officials thought he
should have.

Since 1913, when the Income tax
amendment was passed, annual
federal expenditures have mush
roomed from $725 million to the
$83,000 million asked today. The
national debt has increased from
a little over $1 billion in 1913 to
the present $260 billion. The num

470,000 in 1913 to 2,500,000 now.

(Editor's Note: This is the third
In a series explaining how to
make out your income tax return
lor 1951.)
WASHINGTON Wl For each
exemption you can legally claim
you knock 1600 off your income be
fore the rest is taxable.
There are various exemptions
and rules covering them: Hus
bands, wives, dependents, blind
people, people 65 or over, and peo
ple who were born or died in 1951.
Husbands and wives
Everyone with $600 or more In
come last year must file a return.
And everyone who does so gets a
S600 exemption for himself.
A wife is not considered a de
pendent. If she had no income, and
you me a return oui sne aoesu i,
you claim an exemption for ber.
If she had any Income, no mat
ter how small, you get no exemp
tion for her unless she files jointly
with you.
Where a husband and wife each
had Income but file separate re
turns, each claims his own exemp
tion. Can a wife be claimed as a de
nendent bv someone like her fa
therit must be a close relative
who supported her? Yes.
But then her husband can't claim
any exemption for her because,
when she's claimed as the depend
ent of another, she can neither file
jointly with her husband nor claim
any exemption for herself.
If a wife does file jointly with
her husband, she can't be claimed
as a dependent by anyone else ev
en though the latter supported her.
In short, a wife can't be claimed
as an exemption on two returns.
Couples divorced or legally sep
arated any time in 1951 even as
late as Dec, 31 must file separate
returns for the year. Each then
gets only his own exemption.
Even though a husband paid all
the support of a divorced or le
gally separated wife he can't claim
an exemption for her.
Husbands and wives living apart
by Dec. 31, 1951 but not divorced
or legally separated during that
year, may file a joint return.
A man and wife are considered
married for all of 1951 If they were
married as late as Dec. 31, 1951.
Dependents
Although no one has to file a re
turn unless he had $600 or more in
come, a quirk in the old law said
you couldn't claim as a dependent
anyone who had $500 or more in
. come. That's been changed.
Now you can claim as a depend
entno matter how young or old
anyone who had less than $600 In
' come In 1951, who received more
than half his support from you,
and who is closely related by blood,
marriage or adoption as follows:
Your child or grandchild; a step
child but not his children; a le
gally adopted child; a brother, sis
ter, step-brother, step-sister; your
parents, grandparents, or other an
cestors: your step-father, step
nephews; your father-in-law, moth
law, son-in-law, or daughter-in-law.
As an Illustration of what close
relation by blood means, you can't
claim a cousin as a dependent.
Some government payments to
veterans are taxfree. You can
claim as a dependent a veteran
who, although receiving tax-free
government money, had less than
$600 taxable income of his own
and fitted the other requirements
listed above for a dependent.
You can claim as a dependent
for all of 1951 anyone born as late
as Dec. 31, 1951 who truly fits the
rules covering dependents, even
though the child died a moment
after birth. You can't claim as a
dependent an unborn child or one
Dora dead.
Can husband and wife, when fil
ing separate returns, divide the ex
emptions for dependents between
them? No. Only the person who
has provided more than half the
support of a dependent can claim
him.'
When husband and wife file sep
arately in community property
states, even though they contribu
ted equally to the support of a
dependent, either the husband or
wife must take the entire credit.
People who died
If your husband or wife died dur
ing the year even as early as
Jan. 1, 1951 you are considered
married for the year. So you can
file a joint return, getting the bene
fit of his or her exemption.
If a dependent died In 1951 even
as earlv as Jan. 1. 1951 vou can
claim the full $600 exemption for
him, provided he was truly a de
pendent during that part of the
year in which he lived.
Blind
Besides his regular $600 exemp
tion, a person filing a return gets
an extra $600 exemption if he was
onna on Dec. 31, 1951 and $600
extra for his wife if she is blind.
in addition to the regular exemp
tion lor ner, provided she was
blind on the last day of 1951
and files Jointly with him or. if.
she had no income, he alone files
a return.
Where husband and ' wife file
separately, the one who Is blind
claims his or her own regular $600
exemption, plus seuo for blindness.
Where husband or wife died
blind any time in 1951, the surviv
ing spouse, dv iiung a joint return,
can claim that extra' $600 exemp
tion for the blind one who died.
You can't claim an extra $600
exemption for a blind dependent.
people 65 or older
A taxpayer who was 65 in 1951
can claim in addition to his regular
$600 exemption an extra' $600 be
cause he was 65. He gets an extra
$600 exemption for his wife if she
was 65 in 1951 Drovided she files
jointly with him or, having no in
come, she doesn't file at all.
If she had any income he gets
no exemption for her unless she
does file jointly with him. Where
husband and wife are 65 but file
separate returns, each claims his
own exemption on nis own return.
wno was 65 in 1B517 The courts
consider people 65 on the day be
fore their 65th birthday. So if you
didn't have your 65th birthday until
Jan. 1, 1952, you can consider
yourself 65 in 1951 for income tax
purposes.
It seems to me that people who
have the least immediate likelihood
of bemg able to retire are the ones
who Rre loudest in saying they
want to.
And it might also be true that
the less anybody knows about
life the more he wants to retire.
When Is the right time to retire?
"Now!" squalls the newborn
babe, looking dimly about him in
red-faced anger at the perilous,
puszling world of strange sights
and sounds he has unwillingly
entered.
I surely will have enough mon-
ev at 30 to ouit." hopes the young
college graduate, and begins mak
ine notes for his memoirs
"About 50 will be right for me
and I'll spend the rest of my life
traveling," muses the fellow of 35.
"I guess I'll hang on until I'm
65." he says at 50. educated to the
falling value of money and a grow
ing disinclination for long journeys.
"If they'll Just let me stay on
wnrklne until I'm 70 I won't mind"
ha says at 64, now in love with the
job he has complained against for
40 long years.
But at 69 ne speaxs oui in panic;
"Retire? Never. I'm a better
man now than I ever was. What is
experience for Just to throw away
as Junk?"
And If he Is forced Into retire
ment, he goes grudgingly and sore
of heart.
He has carved a pattern in tne
wlldorncss world that frightened
him as a baby so long ago. and
he hates to yield that pattern for
a formless new world of retire
ment. , where be will again feel
himself a stranger a pioneer In
idleness.
By now he knows that Idleness
and vague yearnings for a life of

Success used to be the old Amer

for millions of people today there
Is a new American dream retire

Next time you meet a blind
man, you'll probably be amazed at
the way he is able to handle him
self. In fact, you'll probably tell
him so. and you'll probably go
away impressed oy his manners,
nis good humor and his poise.
Chnnees are that this man, as
a matter of ieK-protettion, has
taken a special course m the tine
ait of coping, politely and patient
ly, with people wno can see.
The American Foundation for the
Blind has compiled a list ot
"don'ts-" for persons in casual con
tact ith the blind. It is unfor
tunately true, howover, that there
are about two blind pe.-sons lor
every 1,200 of the population and,
as a consquence, most of the pop
ulation doesn't remember if it'3
ever seen the rules. So it is
that most of the nation's 16 train
ingor "adjustment" centers for
the blind have tried to solve the
problem by equipping the blind
with an understanding of the aver
age, unthinking reactions ot a per
son with eyesight to blindness.
VALUABLE
A young Dutch psychologist
named Herman Roose, now travel
ing the United States on a United
Nations fellowship, thinks this
course is" one of the most valuable
projects he can take back tor
adaptation by the blind of his
country.
There seem to be certain sub
conscious reactions by some people
when In contact with persons who
are blind. One of them, Roose
said, is a tendency to shout, as
if the blind person were also deal.
This tendency, ' however, is not
limited to the blind alone. Most of
us, if we don't stop to think, also
speak more loudly to people with
a faulty or sketchy knowledge of
English, as if added decibels would
add to their understanding.
Another apparently normal reac
tion Is a tendancy to address con
versation concerning the blind per-
