O. —Vladimir ft Holloa. Couneelor Dear Three P’s: Up to the present time I nev er bothered with keeping track of income tax deductible items for federal income tax purposes. I have a wife and two children and just took the general allow ance. However, with the fed eral government increasing the gasoline tax, the state increas ing the same tax; with an in crease in sales taxes and the state income tax I believe that the average taxpayer is hood winked by the general allow ance. I am not a bookkeeper and I hate to keep detai'ed rec ords of the gasoline, sales and state income taxes, but I believe it would be an advantage to take these deductions. The automo bile is a necessity and I do not see why they are continually increasing the gasoline taxes; What can" an individual do, for with the increase in the cost of living, with my children grow ing and the expenses increasing I will be forced into the great class of installment buyers, ow ing everybody for everything the family needs. Do you have any comment? —Plain Joe. Dear Joe: Many years ago Antony and Cleon-'tra discussed this subject 4wihiie boating down the Nile in their luxurious barge. They came to the conclusion that the to tax is also the power to destroy. This axiom is fa miliar to everybody who ever has studied plain political econ - omy, but no one does anything about it until they are about destroyed. Longfellow oncp wrote a poem in which he ad . monishes young men not to be like dumb driven cattle but to be heroes in the strife. How ever, when it comes to political auestions and problems the American is about the dumbest i.ndiv ; dual in the world, he grumbles and grumbles but nev er does anything about his prob lems, except in' great emergen ces. When the federal govern ment passes t v e road budding program bill the gasoline tax was increased to pay the cost of this program. The program is Taylor Theatre EDENTON. N. C, Thursday.

It features unified body and frame structure and com pletely new styling for this economy cham pion. Two completely new engines are added in the 1960 Plymouth line of six engines, each of uniquely different design and eath going along faster than at 'first' anticipated with the result that funds are running low and there fore the additional one cent fed eral gasoline tax. Why the road program must be speeded up is not known. In addition to the federal gasoline tax there are state gasoline taxes from four to eight cents a gallon. This in crease in tax, of course, will mean an additional increase in the price of gasoline to the con sumer. The sales tax is on the consumer and not the mer chant; however, it amounts to an increase in price to the con sumer. Then there are state in come taxes, local wage taxes, all reducing the net income to the taxpayer. The government has just passed a general pension plan for veterans for pon-service connected illnesses and accidents and for old age, regardless of service; the bill requires that you serve at least ninety days - in the military forces. Inasmuch as there are about twenty-thfee million involved in this pension plan it amounts to another step toward socialism and it is esti mated that this pension will cost some one hundred and f’fteen billion dollars. Os course, it is restricted to those who have gross incomes of eighteen hun dred to three thousand dollars. This is a further tax on the pro ducer. It would be better to give a general pension ta every body, rather than discriminate in this way. When the federal government adopted the method of having employers deduct the federal income tax from the pay of an employee it started a new philosophy in the tax collectmg field. The government pets the tax before the taxpayer actually knows ’f he owes a tax or not. Then this method of collection costs the government nothing. The employer does the collect ing. This is true of the sales tax where the merchant collects the tax for the government. It also applies to the gasoline tax which the large distributors pav before the gasoline is sold to the public. When you buy gaso ‘line vou do not know or are not aware that in the price you are paying anvwhere from seven to twelve cents a gallon tax. i Now Is The Time To k Beautify Your Lawn r ..

THURSDAY- OCTOBER 15, 1959. developed to fulfill a specific requirement. The 30-D Economy Six, with 145 horsepower, is introduced for drivers who require maxi mum fuel savings. The Sonoßamic Comman- do V-8, with 330 horsepower, which brings ram induction to passenger cars for the first time, is primarily a “performance" engine with outstanding acceleration characteristics. r.his method of tax co’lecting has appealed to the lawmakers; it seems painless to the taxpay re and costs the government nothing. So when the govern ments need money it is a sifln ple problem to increase the rate of all of these taxes and the consumer is hypnotized into pay ing the bill. Unless as a tax payer you let your legislative representatives know about your feelings, this program will con tinue until the taxpayer will re volt as he did at the Boston Tea Party, for you do not have any representation any more in a brhad s’hse. This question could be discussed from many angles but generally speaking the American taxpayer is like Longfellow’s dumb driven cattle, he never does anything about it. Dear Three P’s: My father is a wonderful man; he is kind, considerate and gen erous to mother and wo chil dren. However lie is becoming sloppy jn his appearance.

He wears an old hat to the off : ce and does not care about getting a new one. When we go out, he is a bit neater but makes no effort to be SDruee. What can we do to change this situation.? —Gladys. Dear Gladys: There comes' a time in the lives of all great men like your father when the superficialit'es of life are of no interest. Their only thought is to enioy life in a comfortable way. Men’s cloth ing are not what vou would call comfortable. When dad gets the fee] of a hat on his head and he becomes accustomed to it he does not care what it looks like but eniovs the feeling of it and he is loathe to change it bv buy ing a new hat and break'ng it iff. It is the s/ame with the rest of his clothing; they become part of him and he does not want to change. However, it is ,suggest ed that slowly and carefully you: replace his wardrobe by buying j him a conservative pair of slacks, a ’ conservative sport shirt and j a comfortable sport hat- If hej finds that they are comfortable and require no breaking-in for ; use, he will change and accept I the new clothes. Do not rush him, and you will find that he 1 will enjoy it from two points of j view; the clothes are comfort able and new and someone is in terested in him.

Matthew’s account of the heal ing of the leper by Christ Jesus (8:2-4) is included in the pass ages to be read from the King James Version of the Bible. From “Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures” by Mary Baker Eddy this selection will he read (19:): “Jesus aided in rec onciling man to God by giving man a truer sense of Love, the divine Principle of Jesus’ teach ings, and this truer sense of Love redeems man from the law of matter, sin and death by the law of Spirit the law of divine Love.’’ ANNOUNCING THE NEW PLYMOUTH!
