IT'S YOUR LAW
THE PUBLIC
WELFARE ?

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

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-

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. Your previous tax payments or
charitable contributions have no ef­
fect on your eligibility for welfare
benefits.
We are retired people with a small
pension. Our little granddaughter is
in our care while both her parents
are hospitalized and without income.
Can we get help just for her needs or
would she have to go to an institu­
tion?
The purpose of the Aid to Depen­
dent Children program is to enable

its family while deprived of the sup­
port or chre of one or both of its par­
ents. If you are unable to provide
for your granddaughter, there’s a
good possibility that ADC could pro­
vide a small monthly grant to cover
her food, clothing and personal inci­
dentals.
