Babylon developed the basic science of astronomy, the duodecimal system of numbers, and an early form of the calender; Egypt challenged man's imagination up through the centuries by building the pyramids; Assyria built the first roads known to mankind, constructed canals for irrigation, and grew the first cotton known to the world; Greece became the fountain-hea- d of great architecture and art, and the cradle of man's first experiment with democracy;; Rome contributed a great republic, established remarkable courts of justice, and made notable achievements in art and Mrs. Clyde Steed was hostess to a group of small children, Tuesday afternoon, it being her son, Farrell's 8th birthday.

If you are under 65 and had taxable income of $600 or more, or over 65 and had taxable income of $1,200 or more, you must file a federal income tax ..ww"- - ASSOCIATIONS, f, tw. PLYMOUTH By Lavon Nish I ( return regard- less of whether you owe tax or not, and it does not matt e r whether you are a man, woman or child; as long as you are under 65 and had taxable income of at least $600 Peter J Wikel or over 65 and had taxable income of $1,200 or more in 1956 you are re- quired to file a return by April A iSPl: 15, 1957. It may be that you had income of less than $600 (or $1,200) and income tax was withheld from your paychecks. In this case you should file a tax return. It will show that you owe no tax and will act as a claim for refund of the withheld tax. It is always a good idea to get these returns in as soon as possible. The sooner you file your return, the sooner you have your refund. Taxable income is money or its equivalent in goods or services that you receive. This income is reduced by the cost of what you sold. For instance, if you sold merchandise for $2 that cost you $1, then you have a gross income of $2, but your taxable income would be only $1. What you received for the merchandise, less what it cost you. You would also deduct any expenses you had in con nection with the sale. ine same is true oi your services. For instance: John Taxpayer is a salesman and has many expenses of selling, travel ing, etc. These costs are deduct ed from income on page one of the tax return and have no bearing on whether or not John uses short form 1040, computing his tax from the tax table; or takes the standard deduction; or itemizes his deductions. Joe Taxpayer, John's brother, is an employee. He started work this year. To get the job he paid an employment agency fee. Joe also joined his union and paid an initation fee and monthly dues. Joe had to buy tools and supplies necessary to his job. Joe is required by his em ployer and the duties of this job to purchase and maintain special uniforms and work clothing which are not adapted to street- wear. These, and many other costs, Joe takes as deductions on page two of the return. They can be taken only if Joe files long form 1040 and itemizes his deductions. The deductions are lost if Joe files a short form 1040, form 1040 A or takes the standard deduction. There are many deductions that John Taxpayer, Joe Taxpayer and the merchant can take and some kinds of income are not taxed. That's what these columns are about. Be sure to read every column. Some may help you to find things you can deduct. If you have a specific problem you should consult your accountant or attorney. Courtesy saves lives.

To The Editor Mr. Read reports research from Council of State Chamber I urge all taxpayers in this of Commerce. area to write to their Congressman and demand a curb on Federal spending. It is becoming increasingly apparent that Federal spending is being based on how much is in the till instead of how much is actually needed. The recommended 1958 budget messaire of the President called for $71.8 billions although the original budget estimate for the year was $4 billion less. The increase was made because revenue is higher than expected. This $4 billion could have a cut been used to cut taxes that would have saved each Utahan about $17 and the entire state some $15 million.
