Proposed changes in the law include a flat $500.00 exemption for each tax­ payer and dependent, .elimination of the Victory tax and substitution there for of a throe percent normal .tax on all net incomes over five hundred dol­ lars. and increasing surtax rates in each additional two thousand dollar income bracket to include the present six percent «normal tax. The bill also permits the taking of a flat ten per­ cent deduction up to and including five-hundred dollars for charitable contributions, taxes and other deduct­ ible expenses. Withholding tax rates will be increased to deduct, all tax payments of wage and salary earn: rs at the source, thus making it unneces­ sary the. filing o f any tax returns.

That is what -Representative Clar­ ence J. Brown o f Ohio, has asked the 0PA to investigate", following receipt of dozens of letters from irate drivers in Ohio and other sections of the Mid­ dle West. * At the petroleum sub-committee, hearing, Representative Brown re­ ported the ca^e of Mrs. James Roose­ velt to Shad Poliei, OPA enforcement officer, the principal.witness. ' " f read that Mrs. Jimmie Roosevelt was arrested out On the West Coast for speeding and she paid a fine,” Representative Brown pointed out. "But, what I want to/know, did the OPA look into the matter. ■Polier. responded that he did not check the case at the time, any more than he would haVe if “ Mrs. Brown of Ohio” -had. been involved. He, howev­ er, said he would get the facts - on Mrs. Roosevelt and bring them into the committee. ■ Representative Brown added that he received numerous'letters from in­ dignant motorists .who had read of the Roosevelt case./ • ' “ Many of them complained that they had .driven at less speed, than Mrs. Roosevelt and yet'they got their gasoline taken away from them. It seems Mrs. Roosevelt had only to pay a fine,”, Brown charged. Before mentioning Mrs. Roosevelt specifically, Brown learned from Po- Jier that the OPA exercised authority to-penalize drivers for speeding above 'the 85-mile limit. Polier said that motorists who persisted in burning up their rubber would not be given the gasoline to' continue, f Col1: James Roosevelt excused his wife for. speeding because, he’ said, she was on an official mission for him, Representative^, reported after y I the hearing. In a hot exchange with Polier ear­ lier in the session, Representative Brown insisted that the American public, ,as a whole, was dissatisfied with the operation of OPA and that Poliei- was simply "out of touch”- if he thought to- the contrary..

PRESENT CORN PULLING BY CRG^S AND PHEASANTS— . Wild animals, particularly crows and pheasants, have, been blamed for digging out or pulling corn soon after it breaks through the groundl Care­ ful observations have shown that both these birds do puli corn when they are abundant and when their food is scarce. The -amount of damage is usually small, totaIing*less than 1 per cent, although occasionally serious losses are suffered. Methods to avoid corn pulling in­ clude the use of homemade and com­ mercial repellents ,1 deep planting, use of scarcrows, and spreading corn a- round the edge of the fields at plant­ ing time. Various coal, tar repellent, preparations 1 are : sold . to mix with corn and some farmers report good results from their use. BIG.EARS— Dave Beard of Ohio State -Univer­ sity states that ■if farmers have a cribful of show ears that they are not realizing the greatest possible pro­ duction from . their com plantings. Tests over a period o f, .years show ‘that the highest acre yield of corn are obtained ' when ' corn is planted thick enough to hold the down to slightly less pound each. Beard points out that corn produces best when planted as thickly as the soil production capacity, will allow. On good soil, five kernels can be planted in a hill or drilled ev­ ery eight inches in the row. One thjng to remember is that only about 80 percent of the kernels planted pro­ duce plants. ear-size: Oc than, half a . The primary election coming Tues­ day has brought a bit" mpre meat without the Roosevelt red discs, OPA announced Wednesday the dropping of ration points for all pork, mutton, veal and lamb, including all. beef ex­ cept steaks and roasts. The excuse was over-glut of livestock in the mar­ ket, which was' predicted months' ago . by packers, commissionmen, and all livestock feeders and breeders. OPA was appealed to by radio commenta­ tors, by. congress and the public to drop .points but the bureaucrats re­ fused^ The. meat regimentation is nothing more than a political.issue and used for that purpose. Had points been lifted months ago farmers would not have been forced to take a low price for heavy hogs and that much’ corn could have been saved. ' It is hinted the nation will find an abundance Qf gasoline between Oct, 15 and 20, in the midst of the coming presidential cartipaign. Even at this time all'refineries are loaded with’ gasoline and the government is. get­ ting all it asks for. One" big company is turning out 1,600,000 gallons a day of high octane gasoline for the •war effoit which is more than is being called for now. In addition other re­ fineries are making high octane gas­ oline ifor the government. While points have been lifted from some kinds of meat, the average citi­ zen will have less steak due to re­ ducing by half the. points in a. given periojj. Butter, .cheese and milk pro­ ducts still require the regular points and these are due for a slash just be­ fore the fall elections. -The New Deal . determined to make Mr. Farmer the goat in reducing the cost of living for the city folks.
