IT'S YOUR LAW THE PUBLIC WELFARE ? Xopwt for Law Maltti Dtnoeraey Llvt KEEP TAX RECORDS Now is the time to start a proce dure that will aid you with next year’s income tax calculations. That is to maintain a record of your in come and outgo. Such a record can be simple and brief, but it may save you tax dollars and many hours of work. The average man who works for a salary thinks he doesn’t have to concern himself about keeping books and records. But he should! Whether or not you run a business of your own, you have a partner who each year is claiming a substantial interest in your personal income. The law requires that you keep books for him in case he ever asks for an ac counting. Perhaps you own your home or are paying for it in installments. It’s likely that some day you may sell that house. When you do you’ll want to be able to prove whether you re alized a gain or a loss on that sale. If a gain resulted, it will probably add to your income tax. If a loss was suffered, well, that’s another thing. You may have made certain im provements on the house, while you lived in it, but unless you can show what out-of-pocket expense you in curred while making them, you may not get credit for them in your cost basis. It may be that you are receiving an annuity on an insurance policy. If so, do you know how much that pol icy costs you and how much of that cost you have recovered tax-free to date? There are many kinds of transac tions you enter into that may some day affect the computation of your personal income tax. The best proof of the cost of anything you’ve pur chased is a receipted bill or cancelled check. If one of these pieces of evi dence relates to any transaction that may affect your income in later years, it is a good idea to keep it. not reach age 19 in 1958 or who was a full time student. Regardless ot the amount earned by such a child you may claim the exemption so long as you provided over half of the child’s support. The effect is to allow a double exemption because the child is entitled to claim an exemption for himself in reporting his own income. Scholarships received by a student are disregarded in computing the support provided by the parent. An important point to remember is that a married child for whom you claim an exemption may not file a joint re turn with his or her spouse. YOU AND YOUR AGENT What if you paid Johnnie to mow your lawn and he mowed down and ruined your neighbor’s hedge? Do you pay for Johnnie’s act? Most like ly- Or suppose you want a loaf ot bread for dinner and ask a friend to take your car and get it. On the way to the store, suppose he runs down old Mrs. Higgenbotham. Are you re sponsible? Again, Most likely, at least in part. Why is this? Didn’t you tell every body to be most careful? In both cases, you got someone to act for you. Under the law, what he did, you did. You were responsible for what he did since he was your “agent." Why does the law make you, as principal, responsible for your a- gent’s acts? Well, agents do most of the world’s business. And for our affairs to go forward, people must trust your agent as if you yourself acted. “Third parties”-other people doing business with you or your agent-have a right to expect you to stand behind his word. Suppose your agent does what you told him to do, or even suppose you let third parties think he is your agent when he is not. Then you may well have to make good on any deal INCOME TAX EXEMPTIONS he makes in your name. He is either Having a baby in December rather your a g e n t or your "ostensible than in January can result in an ex agent.” This is all the same when tra $120 or more in your pocket.

Questions about public welfare which are of general interest are answered in this column as a public service. Help with individual prob lems is available at your county wel fare office.) Won’t public welfare become un necessary as a result of the “Poverty Act” ? Although the Economic Opportunity Act will help many people prepare for and obtain employment so that they will not need public assistance, there will still be need for public wel fare services of many kinds. For ex ample, public welfare provides a va riety of services to children includ ing adoption, foster home care and child welfare services to children in their own homes; it has responsibil ity for licensing of private child car ing agencies. In addition to child wel fare services, public welfare provides asistance to many aged, blind and disabled persons who will not be able to support themselves through train ing for jobs. My sons have different earnings and diferent sized fam ilies. If I apply for old age assistance wiU they have to contribute equally to m y support? The Relative Responsibility Law sets up a relative contribution scale which relates the amount of contri bution required to income and family size. This scale will determine the size of the contribution required from each of your sons. Is any disciplinary action taken It a welfare recipient becomes pregnant out of wedlock? No. Efforts made in some other states to legislate against illegitimacy have been largely unsuccessful and have often had the effect of punish ing the child for the circumstances of his birth rather than of changing the parent’s behavior. Instead of dis- cipilinary action, the public welfare department works with the mother to help her consider the reasons for her behavior and the effect it is likely to have on her and the child. Why does welfare pay hospitals a different amount than a private pa tient would pay for sim ilar care? Because of the enormous volume of bills coming in from hospitals for the care of welfare recipients, public welfare simplifies its procedures by paying a specified rate for each day of hospital care regardless of the ser vices performed. This rate is baseti on the hospitals’ average cost per pa tient per day and is carefully audited by public welfare to make sure it is accurate. Since it is based on an av erage, the billing for a given period may be either higher or lower than that paid by a private patient for si milar services. Another factor affecting the dif ference between public welfare bills and private payments is the limita tion of the welfare budget. Public welfare is required to keep its hospi tal and other expenditures within the amount of money it has available and has found it necessary to pay hospi tals a percentage of their total bill instead of the full amount. I have a sm all amount of burial insurance. Do I have to cash it in be fore applying for assistance? If you are over sixty-five, you may keep a burial policy with cash value up to $500 in addition to your other resources, provided the beneficiary assumes full responsibility for your burial. Younger recipients may main tain insurance or other liquid assets having cash value amounting to not more than $250, or $500 for a couple. A man I know was in an accident and is suing the person responsible. Now he is getting welfare help so he can hold out for more money. Why is this permitted? Whenever assistance is provided to a person who has a pending claim for personal injury, public welfare has a lien on the amount he receives so that it can recover the assistance granted to him out of whatever he collects. This makes it possible for him to maintain himself until he can get a reasonable settlement without any ultimate loss of public welfare funds. I’ve always given money to charity, why can’t I get welfare help now? Public welfare is supported entire- An efficiency expert is a man who tells others how to do things he can’t do himself. 6 THURSDAY, JANUARY 7, )965 Health Group Urges Caution The Columbia county health depart ment has asked residents of flooded areas to take special precautions to protect their health. County health officials advised that those who were exposed to flood wa ters receive protective shots of vac cine against typhoid fever as quickly as possible. They pointed out that since typhoid germs enter the body only through the mouth, people should be particularly careful about eating anything that has been in the flood waters. Typhoid vaccine is being provided by the health department and is available through St. Helens physic ians offices without charge. Three shots are usually needed, and 30 days are required to develop effec tive immunity, health officials point out. They stressed that the free vac cine is available only to those peo ple and families who live in or work in the flooded areas, or those who engage in clean-up work. Potential health hazards can be avoided by keeping children out of disaster areas; frequent hand wash ing, especially before eating, as well as keeping warm and getting plenty of rest, the county health officials warned. Salesman to Area Claimed Robert E. Fawcett, Astoria, who for many years was a salesman ser vicing this area for Sunshine Biscuit company, died suddenly in his car at Astoria last Thursday on his 62nd birthday. Reports are that he had helped a neighbor push his car out of a snow bank, then got in his own car and drove only a half block when he hit a telephone pole. Neighbors found him dead inside the car, the apparent victim of a heart attack. Fawcett had worked for the Sun shine Biscuit company for 37 years and for the past 32 years had been a salesman serving Clatsop, Tilla mook and Columbia counties in Ore gon and Pacific county in Washing ton. He made regular trips to Ver nonia for the company. Flood Damage To Be Surveyed Columbia county’s USDA defense board, under the chairmanship of ASCS office manager William Arm strong, met at the county courthouse December 28 to initiate surveys of flood damage. Civil Defense Director Biil Litherland also attended the meeting. As one of the counties declared a disaster area by Secretary of Agri culture Orville Freeman, special em ergency aid programs are expected to be developed to aid in recovery of damaged areas. ly by taxes, not by contributions to charity. Your eligibility for help from welfare is based on need as defined by law and by rules and regulations of the State Public Welfare Commis sion.
