'IF A THOUSAND MENWERE NOT TO PAY THEIR TAX BILL THIS YEAR', THAT WOULD NOT BE A VIOLENT AND BLOODY MEASURE AS IT WOULD BE TO PAY THEM AND ENABLE THE STATE TO COMMIT VIOLENCE AND SHED INNOCENT BLOOD / HENRY DAVID THOREAU Vfait Tgjc Ways to avoid payment of war taxes: (1) Refuse to pay at least $5 of your taxes (2) Hold back the percent that is used for National Defense. (3) Refuse to pay federal telephone tax. The tax was revived in 1966 to help pay for war tax. Thousands refuse payment now and have had continued service, the bill goes to the IRS. (4) Refuse to pay 10 percent surtax that was created in 1968 to pay for the war. YOU MAY DEMAND A REFUND (1) Get a refund right on your 1040 form. On part V ask for tax credit (2) File for a 843 form (3) If these don’t work go to the Income Tax Board of Appeals - if they don’t comply, sue. (4) Sue the whole government on the grounds of using taxes for illegal and immoral purposes. The money you normsdly pay for war taxes could be put to more peaceful uses such as the Peace Corps, United Nations,, any relief funds, ecological causes.

STATISTICS TAKEN FROM THE NEW YORK TIMES ALMANAC COMMENTS FROM SCC PEOPLE ON THE NATIONAL BUDGET. £ “I-I-I didn’t think it was THAT much!** “They should put it to good use, not waste it.” “That’s all they need.” “They shwild divide it equally and not put so much on National Defense.” “That’s where all the problem comes in—partiality.” ; “I don’t know about that stuff.” “I’m thinking about my door. I can’t get to my door to decorate ray door.” I’m unhappy that this world is the type of place where we have to spend so much on national defense, but happy about the per centage spent on Health and Welfare — that these people are getting what they need.” “Good grief, there went all our money!” “We’re paying out more money to destroy the rest of the things.” “They should be giving to poverty - stricken areas at home first, before outer space. Jobs for people, housing, and natural \ resources. More money should spent on the space program.” “They ought to put resources where the defense is and half of the health and welfare for education. They should get rid of the space race.” “Do away with housing and give «Jverybody a tent. ” THINK OF THE CHILDREN OF VIETNAM If you like the idea of keeping 'em flying, you'll like the Aimy Reserve. IkK In September, a poll was taken to find out how many people were registered to vote. Out of 161, only 19 were registered. Many people offer the excuse that their not registering is because of their lack of knowledge of the local board of Board of Elections. The ram’s horn has now solved this problem. Below is a list of the Boards of Elections for the counties of most students attending SCC. If your county is not on the list, stop by Polly Wilson’s office, room G-254, and she will gladly give you further information. Call the number and ask for directions.
