$25 Tax Exemption For Blood Donor Proposed t
How would you like to get a $25 Income tax deduction by do
nating a pint of blood to' the Red Cross?
Just such a plan, in resolution form, will be submitted to the
Guilford County Young Republicans Club Nov. 10 by the author,
Robert S. Galloway of Greensboro.
Informal details of the plan, disclosed yesterday by Galloway
and Y. R. C. President Herman Amasa Smith, run something like
this:
A txpayer who wants his federal levy reduced donates a pint
of blood to the Red Cross blood bank. He receives a certificate of
donation which is submitted to the Federal Bureau of Internal Rev
enue.
The bureau in turn reduces his tax bill $25 for each pint of
blood up to four pints, the most a donor ran give" in a year's time.
Galloway said he has discussed his plan with revenue men and
has written congressmen about it.
Tax Collections Up In State
State tax collections totalled $9,657,208 in the general fund dur
ing October, a $1,523,449 increase over October, 1952, Revenue
Commissioner Eugene Shaw has reported.
"The larve decrease reflected in our September report has been
more than offset by a large increase this month," Shaw said.
For the first four months of the current fiscal year, general fund
"o'leetions amounted to $43,052,671 which represents an Increase of
$1,846,944 over collections for the same period of 1952, Shaw said.
Court Action Thrown In Reverse
