To The Editor:
Can "WE THE PEOPLE" do unto ourselves as we would
have others do unto us? An example is the best measure of
our integrity quotient.
By merging our southern and northern jurisdictions, our
Scottish Rite can promote harmony between our states.
By making the bottom line of their pay schedules that
amount which will enable their lowest paid employees to
pay net income taxes, our Bankers can lead the managers
(those of us with a say in how much any one of us will be
paid) of our free (responsible) enterprise economy to
enable us to operate our Republic with a budget surplus.
By limiting the terms (years) any one of us may serve as
a manager in any one position in our Governments,
Businesses, Unions, Schools, and etc., we can improve the
quality of our systems.
By staffing our military treatment facilities, our doctors
can demonstrate some understanding of the inherent
responsibilities of citizenship in our Republic.
By living within our laws, we strengthen our Constitution
(social contract).
Ignorant, mentally maladjusted and minatory automa
tions run dictatorships. Knowledge being the route to liber
ty (opportunity), an Education Department will help each
of us do our share to provide for the "common defense and
general welfare" of "WE THE PEOPLE."

Tax Management
FARlf INCOME
TAX MANAGEMENT
Careful income tax
management, perhaps with
the assistance of a farm tax
consultant, will usually
reduce income taxes
substantially according to
Charles E. Hammond, Area
Management-Marketing
Specialist. Some farmers
pay several hundred
dollars more than they need
to because of their failure to
take advantage of the
number of ways of reducing
or deferring tax payment.
A number of tax manage
ment techniques require at
tention before the end of the
year. The first step is to
estimate 1977 taxable in
come, to determine the size
and types of tax problems.
Complete and up-to-date
financial records are essen
tial to make this estimate.
Consideration should be
given to the timing of major
capital purchases. Invest
ment credit and regular
and optional first year
depreciation can have a
significant impact on the in
come tax liability for the
year.
Scheduling sales of com
mondities and capital
assets between this year or
next can provide substan
tial tax savings.
Year end purchases of
next years feed and sup
plies is still a tax manage
ment tool, but should be
used with some caution as
the IRS may challenge
these expenditures if it ap
pears a "material distor
tion of income" occurs.
Be sure to maximize all
personal exemptions, de
ductions, and allowances.
Pay reasonable wages to
children for farm work.
If you are involved in a
partial or complete sale of
the farm business, consider
dividing sales into two or
more tax years or using the
installment sale procedure.

hurting image
"You get what you pay
for." Common sense tells
you so.
Selective footballing of
prescription drugs
(slashing a few prices to
make others appear
lower) has done more
damage to the image of
pharmacy than any
factor we know of. Why
try to deceive the public?
Let's call a spade a
spade.
Despite other's
methods of trying to win
business, you can count
on us to put integrity and
fairness into the filling
and pricing of every pre
scription that leaves our
pharmacy. You receive
full value from us. You
can count on it!
