But they claim he la another William Jennings Bryan, much more intellectual but with the same fate in store for him: often a bridesmaid, never a bride. The Wallace supporters talk quite differently. They say any man who could rally 4291 votes last summer at Chicago could get enough of the necessary additional 105V4 by 1948 and that every time bad, big business assaults him as it did through the friends of Jesse Jones, his stock with the common man and little business" whom and which he constantly champions, will go higher. In other words, the louder the Wall street wolf-pachowls the more the CIO "pack grins. This reasoning is based on those twe somewhat paradoxical observations we love him for the enemies he makes" and every knock a boost." That is the "leftist" reasoning, and whether or not the regulars" think it is sound, they have to take it into consideration. In any case the opposition to Wallace on both sides of both houses of congress shows the conservative color of the legislative k body. As to the party organizations, they have indicated that they intend to put their faith in works. On the same day (January 23) both Re- publican and Democratic national chairmen announced that their respective political machines would start running on a basis.

Many straws show clearly the way the prevailing winds have been blowing. One was the controversy which soon became a senate versus Wallace - Roosevelt controversy. Another was the turn taken in the battle over the national service bill which developed into a fight against the fair employment practices policy and the closed shop. Behind both these moves there was a play of forces which marks the beginning of a struggle which will make the biggest postwar story on the domestic front. The opposition to Wallace had many and complicated ramifications but It revealed the conservative trend both In congress as a whole and within the Democratic party.

The Inference drawn by the reporters was that the two groups would pursue their separate ways.

The single challenge to Mr. Brownell dealt with the ques- tion of thunder from the left and it apparently fell on entirely deaf ears The one unfriendly voice at the meeting came from a supporter of Harold Stassen of Minnesota, the prospective liberal candidate for the Republican presidential nomination. The revolter arose to charge that Mr. Brownell had alienated the labor vote because of his connection with a law firm winch handled the business of large corporations No body in the committee denied the soft impeachment publicly. It is whispered that the Republicans are not worrying about an appeal to labor for they have a theory that they can attract the vote of the returned soldier because they say he will lean to the right. This is the way one of the "regulars expressed It to me. "There is something about a uniform," he said, that makes a man patriotic and conservative. He is anxious to settle down and raise a family.

Dont send any money if you file this way, because the collector will figure your tax, give you credit for amounts already paid, and then either send you a bill if you owe more or a refund check if you have overpaid. Q. How do I fill out a short-form- ? A. Get a copy of Form 1040. If all your income was from wages, dividends and interest, you write only on page 1, and find your tax from the table on page 2. If you had other income for instance, from a farm, a business, rental property, annuities, etc.) you also fill in part of page 3. Page 3 is printed on the back of page 1, so you can tear off and throw away the other half of the form. Thats why it is called a short-forWhen you file Form 1040, and find (in item 8, page 1) that you still owe some tax, you must pay that amount in full at the same time you file your return. Q. Whnt do you mean by the word income? A. As used in the income tax blanks, income means all kinds ol income, including wages, (or salaries), dividends, interest, business profits, rental profits, and profits on selling or trading securities or other property. For tax purposes, however, "income" does NOT include certain items specifically exempted by law, such as the first $1,500 of active service pay for members of the armed forces and their mustering-ou- t payment when discharged. Also exempted is the governments contribution to monthly family allowances to relatives of servicemen, social security benefits, gifts, bequests and inheritances, and amounts received as the beneficiary of a life insurance policy by reason of the death of the Insured person. Q. What kind of taxes do we pay? A. The 1944 income tax is made up of two kinds of tax. There is a normal tax (formerly called victory at the rate of 3 per cent, and tax) a surtax (formerly called income tax) at rates ranging from 20 to 91 per cent. Q. What kind of exemptions do we get from these taxes? A. For normal tax, a taxpayer filing a separate return is allowed only a flat exemption of $500. If husband and wife file a joint return and each had at least $500 income, exthey receive a joint normal-taemption of $1,000. If they file a joint return, and one of them had less than $500 income, the joint normal-taexemption would be $500 plus the actual amount of the smaller income. For norrrihl tax. there is no exemption for dependents. For surtax, you may get exemptions of $500 for yourself, plus $500 for your wife (or husband), plus $500 for each of your dependents. However, you can claim an exemption for your wife (or husband) only if you file a joint return with her (or him), or if she (or he) had no taxable income and was not a dependent of another taxpayer. x x TELEFACT REACHES NEW HIGH headline says the Japanese Imperial Diet is to be strengthened.

Better to be the head o' the commons than the tail o the gentry. Q. Can the wife of a military man claim an exemption for him? A. Usually, she can. Since the first $1,500 of military pay is exempt from tax and since most men earn less than that amount in the armed forces, they are considered to have no Income, as far as the tax laws are concerned. Therefore, their wives can claim exemptions for them unless their army pay exceeds $1500. Q. What are the rules for claiming exemptions for dependents? A. You sre entitled to an exemption for any close relative, provided you furnished more than one-haof his or her support during 1944, and provided he or she did not have $500 or more income of his or her own. A dependent must also be a citizen of the United States or a resident of the U. S., Canada or Mexico. lf Q. What should be done by a person whose Income totaled less than $500? A. If single and the income included wages from which tax was withheld, he should file a separate return to get a refund of the tax withheld. If married, it will usually be to the family's advantage to file a joint return with his wife (or husband). At any rate it will pay to file returns. WE BUT AND HELL Office Furniture. Files.
