During 19S8. equipment traveled over 23 million miles with only Gambler, Speculator Gets British Tax Break WASHINGTON (AP)-The Brit-I ish income tax, by American standards, hits , hard at 'the man in the street but gives a big break to the Investor, the speculator and the gambler. Even after the tax cut an nounced last Tuesday, the aver age Englishman will pay consid erably more than his American cousin. The investor or speculator, how ever, will retain complete freedom from taxes on profits made in the stock market or through real es tate deals. And the gambler will continue to pay no tax on his winnings. . , Morever, most Englishmen who collect dividends on stocks will as in t h e past pay little or no tax on these. Dividends, capital gains and gambling winnings are, of course, taxed in the United States. Why haven't the British tapped these revenue sources? - In the case of dividends, the English take the position that a corporation by paying income and profits taxes in effect pays a dividend tax on behalf of its shareholders. To tax shareholders directly, they believe, would be unfair double taxation. Many- American stockholders take the same view and have agi tated persistently, but without mucn success, lor a similar con cession. . As for capital gains and gam bling winnings, these were not classed as taxable income under British tax law. The Labor party has long demanded they be taxed but hasn t mustered the votes to do so. The New British tax change, which will go into effect at mid year, will lower the standard in come tax rate to 38. per cent from 42'i per cent. Here's how the standard rate system works While an American taxpayer claims exemptions and deductions to lower his taxable income, the Englishman claims "reliefs" from the standard rate. He gets one relief of $336 for himself and a second for the same amount if he's married. He also can claim a relief of $238 for each of his dependents and can deduct mod est amounts for insurance pre miums he pays. - - On the first $1,008 of income, he is taxed at rates far below the standard levy. Take the case of a married man with two children who is paid $5,600 a year. An American who claims the standard deduction will pay an income tax of about $528. An Englishman m the same sit uation will pay about $853 under the new rate. The cut will save him about $43. - Incidentally, $5,600 - is pretty good pay in England. A school teacher or pharmacist, for exam ple, might make about $2,000. Now let's give these married men a pay raise, to $9,020 a year. The American will then pay about $1,398 m taxes while the British er will pay $3,428. Under the old British rate, the tax would have been about $182 Jiigher. For another - example, take a single man with no dependents who is paid $2,800 a year. In (he United States, he would pay Uncle bam about $384. If he's English, the crown will get about $51$ un der the new rate about $23 less than before. British income taxes are mark edly higher than U.S. levels at what an American would consider middle income levels. They also hit harder at married couples be cause. In England, you can't claim the tax-cutting advantage of split ting incomes on a joint return. The British also have sales taxes .ITS EVERYTHING YOU'VE HEARDI 1 AN ARTHUR FREED PRODUCTION, LESLIE CARON-MAURICE CHEVALIER -LOUIS JOURDAN HERUONE MUD-EVA GA60R-J&CQUES 8ERGERAC ftl JEANS Slate TODAY! omparable to U.S. excise taxes but these are much higher than here. The tax on a new auto, for example, is 60 per cent compared with 10 per cent ir. the United Stater , Britain, is lowering the sales tax on all luxuries except autos to 50 per cent from 60 per cent. Cam eras, radios and jewelry are in- eluded m this category. In the United Mates, they carry, an ex cise tax of 10 per cent. Incidentally, the British pay a national gasoline tax of 35 cents a gallon compared with 3 cents here. The British tax cuts drew this barb Friday from Sen. Allen J. Ellender (D-La) during hearings by the Senate Appropriations Com mittee on a request by President Eisenhower for 225 million dollars for loans to underdeveloped coun tries abroad: 'It makes me wonder why the American taxpayers don't march on Washington. We give lavishly to these people and they cut their taxes and balance their budgets." He added the United States will have a deficit of close to 13 bil lion dollars this fiscal year. Great Britain owes the United States more than 4b billion dol lars on loans made in previous years.

As is true with other U.S. allies in Europe and elsewhere, she is getting military assistance in undisclosed amounts, 3 Initiated Into Lions - MERRILL Three new members were initiated into the Merrill Lions Club during a regular meeting held Monday evening, April 6, at the Merrill Recreation Hall.
