See Article II of Income Tax Primer for details. Labor Chief Views 1959 Here Are Several Hints On Your 1958 Tax Return Indications are that 1959 will maintain the economic gains made steadily by Klamath County dur ing 1958, Guy Barker, manager of the local office of the state employment service, said in the first issue of his monthly labor market bulletin for the now year. In explanation of this prediction Barker made the following state ments: New construction has been a large factor in the increased pay rolls during the past three years, but is not expected to be as heavy during the present year. Opera tion of the new softboard plant and additions to Air Force person nel will provide payrolls to com pensate for any reduction in con struction. Logging and lumbering opera tions have maintained high em ployment since early spring and continue at a higher rate than is normally found at this season Most of the operations which arc down at the present time plan an early resumption of work. Total unemployment at the end of December was 30 per cent lower than it had been a year earlier, with 14 per cent less workers claiming unemployment benefits during December, 1958, than claimed them during December, 1957. The continual flow of new people moving into this area contributes to the number of unemployed, since there is often a lag of scv eral weeks from the time these newcomers arrive until they find I job. An indication of this fact is that during December 189 in dividuals filed for unemployment benefits based on earnings in other states. California led in the mini ber of interstate claims with Washington second. Twenty - two different states and Canada were represented by the claimants. Of those registered for work al the local office, 25 per rent do not have unemployment benefits. A large percentage of registered workers expect to return to their regular employers within a short time. During the last six months of 1938, 1.862 individuals were placed en non-agricultural jobs by the office. This was a 22 per cent Increase over the number placed during the last six months of 1957 By RICHARD A. MULLENS Written for NEA Service This is the first of 12 articles bringing you the latest tips and helpful hints on problems you are likely to encounter as you fill out your 1958 federal tax return, Although you have until April 15 to file a return, it is always advisable to fill out the return well before the deadline. Then if you have a refund coming, you can file early and stand a better chance of getting your" money back quickly. Or, if it turns out that you owe more tax, you have time to arrange for payment before the deadline of April 15. The tax forms for 1958 look much like the forms for prior years. There is, however, one very important change involving those who are entitled to use the card Form 1040A. In years past, Form 1040A could not be used by any taxpayer whose income exceeded $5,000. For 1958, the card form may be used by any individual with total income of less than $10,000, consisting of wages- reported on Form W-2 and not more than MOO in dividends, interest, and wages not subject to withholding. Husband and wife also may file a joint return on Form 1040A if their combined income docs not exceed these limits. Thjs change means that many more taxpayers Ulan belore will be eligible to use Form 1040A. One of the later Primer articles will help you decide which form to use when you fill out your tax return. Other articles will cover points which bolher most taxpay urs concentrating on items that are likely to save you money Watch for them as they appear in this newspaper. One of the difficulties with our tax laws today is that even the simplest rules have exceptions and complications which tend to confuse the average person For example, take the rule ahout who must file a tax return ON THE SPOT FLAGSTAFF.

O Newspaper SPOT ADS ore inexpensive repeated dally WASHINGTON (UPI) Soviet Premier Nikita S. Khrushchev in his recent Moscow talk with Sen. Hubert Humphrey (D-Minn.) re jected the commune system re cently instituted in Communist China. Humphrey, writing in the Jan. 12 issue of Life magazine about his eight-hour talk with the Soviet boss, said Khrushchev called the system old-fashioned and reac tionary. , .not nearly so good as the state farm and collective farms in Russia. Humphrey also said Khrushchev noted that communes were based on the principle, "from each ac cording to his abilities, to each according to his needs." Khrush chev said, "You know that won't1 work (because) you can't get pro- auction without incentive. The Minnesota congressman said he asked the Communist leader if his statement on incen tive wasn't "rather capitalistic." Khrushchev replied: "Call it what you will. It works. Khrushchev, Humphrey wrote, also told how he laid a propaganda trap for President Eisenhower and how 'the President "walked right into it Khrushchev said his propaganda victory over Eisenhower came last July when the President rejected Russia's request for credits to fi nance Soviet purchases of consu mer goods in the United States. Humphrey said Khrushchev re lated that "U. S. propaganda had been telling the Soviet people how badly off they were and how sor ry Americans were for them The Soviet premier said he "just got tired of it. So he said he wrote Eisenhower a personal letter requesting the credits and was "delighted" when the President rejected the request. "You helped me," Khrushchev told Humphrey, "you showed my people that you did not really care about them. You walked right into it. You were stupid, you were fools." Khrushchev likes President El senhower, Humphrey said, doesnt care for former President Uruman and "is openly disdainful of Sec retary of State John Foster Dul les." Khrushchev also said that recent accounts by Adlai Steven son and columnist Walter Lipp man of their visits to Russia were "the best of the worst." BIG SURPRISE CRANBROOK. B.C. (AP) A resident who went "fishing" to see what had stopped his toilet tank from filling with water found an eight-inch trout, dead, wound up inside the valve. L'TTLE TO SHOW RACINE, Wis. (AP) The thief who smashed a display window at the Sanitary Meat Market got a hollow victory. Missing was a con tainer of canned ham, but the proprietor told police the missing can, like the others in tne win dow, was empty. CARLOS LINVILLE DRAWS CHEVROLADY OF THE MONTH. George Dugan and Bob Mest look on as Carlos Linville, Vice President of, the Bank of Klamath Falls draws the name of Mrs. Dave Davenport from the hat. Each month one of Dugan and Mest Chev rolet' customers is named Chevrolady of the Month. She is then entitled to travel to Reno with her husband for a glamorous weekend as guests of Harold's Club and Har old's Pony Express Motel. The general rule is that every one, regardless of age or citizen- ihin. residing in the United States who had gross income in 1,158 of (600 or more must file a lax return. But this rule has two exceptions first, if you were 65 or older on Dec. 31, 1958, then you do not have to file unless your gross income was $1200 or more; and, second, despite what is said above about J600 and $1200 tests, if you were a self-employed person subject to social security tax in 1958, you must file if you had net earnings from self-employment of $400 or more. In determining what your gross income is, you cannot first sub tract nonbusiness deductions such as charitable contributions and taxes or interest on your home. For example, a student who earned $650 would have to file a return even though he contributed $60 of this amount to some charity. Many students and others who work part time during the year do not earn enough to require filing a return. If such persons had any income tax withheld from their salary, they should file a return even though they are not required to do so. Such persons owe no tax and are entitled to a refund of nny that was withheld, but it will not be repaid unless a return is filed. COOPERATIVE EFFORT BALTIMORE (AP) The po lice commissioner got- a letter which commended three officers for good work below the line of duty, you might say. Attorney James A. Ostcndorf explained how he accidentally dropped his watch into the water drain by a downtown curb. The three officers combined to help Ostcndorf re trieve the timepiece. One furnished a bent paper clip, another tied it to a niece of string and a third manipulated the string to pull the watch out from under tne graie.
