income tax to HIT BACHELOR AT S2O A WEEK Slash in Exemption Puts Low-Salaried Workers on Levy List. Thi* is thr ihiril of six article* rtouiln* (ho now federal inrnmr tax rettilat:onx whlrh ntiward of throo million moro rilirrni must moo( hoforo Vlarrh 13. BY ROBERT TALLEY NEA Service Wrlfor WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.—1f you are an unmarried person without dependents, and earn upward of S2O a week, vou probably will pay an income tax to Uncle Sam this year even if you paid none last year. Twenty dollars a week is $1,040 a year, gross. Since the personal exemption allowed single persons this year is only SI,OOO, having been reduced from 51.500 last year, this S2O-a-woek man must make out a return and pay a tax on that S4O above SI,OOO. unless he has .other deductions, suen as those lor taxes or contributions, which bring his net income below the SI,OOO mark. The S4O, if taxable, of course, would be assessed at the lowest rate, 4 per cent, or $1.60. The same rate applies to taxable income up to $4,000, when the rate rises to 3 per cent. Exemption Is Lowered Last year this $1,040 man would have paid no tax at all, since $1,500 was exempt. If he had paid, it would have been at rates beginning at 1 '■_> per cent, and not rising to 5 per cent until $3,000 was reached. To show this difference. let's take the case of an unmarried person with no dependents and assume he got last year’s 25 per cent ’‘earned income credit,” as most small incomes were in the ‘‘earned income” class: Net Tax Tax Inrnm* I.ast ar This Year $ 1.100 None * 1.500, Nonr 20 2,000 % :.(:< io 8,000 IO.KX SO 1,000 28.1 a 120 5,000 89.38 100 10,000 153.75 000 As on the incomes of married persons, the surtax this year becomes operative at 1 per cent on net incomes over $6,000. instead of SIO,OOO. It ranges upward. Maximum Is 55 Per Cent Last year the maximum surtax was 20 per cent on net incomes over $100,000; this year the maximum is 55 per cent on net incomes of over $1,000,000. To consider, in detail, a higher Income class among single men, take Richard Roe, an unmarried man with no dependents and a net income of $14,500. Roe will get a personal exemption of only SI,OOO (instead of $1,500) this year, leaving $13,500 on which he must pay tax. The rate on the first $4,000 will be 4 per cent, or $160; on the next $9,500, 8 per cent, or $760; as surtax, $l6O more—or a total of SI,OBO tax. Last year on the same income Roe would have paid $430 tax. or $360 tax if his entire income had been ‘ earned income.” However, an unmarried person who has the support of others on his hands is recognized by the law as the "head of a family” and as such he is entitled to the $2,500 exemption allowed married men. Who Is Head of Family Under the law in effect last year the term "head of a family” was interpreted to mean a taxpayer, though single, who ‘‘supports and maintains in one household one or more individuals who are connected closely with him by blood relationship. relationship by marriage, or by adoption, and whose right to exercise family control and provide for these dependent individuals is based upon some moral or legal obligation." This term probably will be interpreted similarly under the present law. In addition to the $2,500 exemption, the "head of a family” is allowed S4OO credit for each dependent. T.f. for example, an unmarried son supports in his own housenold an aged mother and a 17-year-old sister (18 being the age limit for dependents, unless they are incapacitated) he is entitled to an exemption of $2,500 as the "head of the family,” plus a credit or S4OO for each dependent or, in this case, a total of $3,300. The S4OO credit, however, does not apply to the wife or husband of a taxpayer, though one may be totally dependent upon the other.

Another Newlywed Problem It is not absolutely necessary that this taxpayer and his dependents live under the same roof to claim the exemption. If a child is away at school or if a widower is obliged to maintain his dependent children with relatives, or there is equally .justifiable reason of necessity for living apart, the law takes the common sense view. What happens in the case of a single man who married during the year? His marital status must be prorated by months; which means that if he became a bridegroom in the latter part of June he will be allowed exemption for six months at the rate of a single man and for the other six months at the rate for a

married man. In such case, the total exemption for a man married in one of those June weddings would be six-twelfths of SI,OOO plus six-twelfths of $2,500. or a total of $1,750. Applies to Widowers Conversely, the same rule applies to a married man who became a widower in 1932. However, if there were children this man may change his status to that of the "head of a family” and continue to have the same exemptions.

Ruins of Great City, Razed for Maiden’s Whim, Are Unearthed

-v - Pr|i|| wj^ma

One of archaeology’s greatest discoveries has been unearthed near Persepolis in Persia—a village 6,000 years old wherpin abounds priceless treasures of sculpturing. The discovery was made by the expedition sent out by the Oriental Institute of the University of Chicago and among the findings was this ornate small stairway with its panels of reliefs of the Medes and Persians. The village is two miles from Persepolis, a city destroyed by Alexander the Great, who fired it at the whim of a lady of his choice.

Magnificent Persian Center Burned by Alexander in Fourth Century. BY RAY BLACK United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO. Jan. 25.—From turbulent Persia, embroiled now in argu- J ments with Britain over oil con- J cessions, comes an echo of dim j antiquity which bespoke the most; important archeological discovery of this age. Midway between the Persian gulf j and the valleys of the Tigris and Euphrates, workers with the Uni- j versity of Chicago’s Percian expedition unearthed an ancient city. J It was burned in the fourth centry B. C. by Alexander the Great because of a red-lipped sloe-eyed Iranian maiden willed it. From the ashes of that day, over- j lying far older cities, the expedition has reconstructed anew version of what befell mankind in those midcontinental areas before recorded time began. Dr. James H. Breasted, director of the institute, needed only a cable from Dr. Ernst Harzfeld, in charge in the field, to roll the calendar back today to that distant time. He makes us at home in ancient Persia with this bit of life reconstructed j from evidence the scientists -have dug up: Scene of Splendor Xymander <a husbandman who raises grain)—For why does the king tax us so grievously'’ I scarce raise enough on my two acres to save enough for seed.

status must be prorated—even with regard to husbands and wives "living together.” If occasionally and temporarily the husband is away from home on business, or the wife, on a visit, the common home being maintained, the $2,500 exemption still applies. Even the unavoidable absence of a husband or wife at a sanatorium does not preclude the exemption. But if there occurs a big "bust-up ’ between them and the husband continously makes his home at one place and the wife at another, they are not living together within the meaning of Uncle Sam s income tax law and therefore both automatically revert to the status of single persons.

will the world see such a scene. To be king of Persia is to be god of the earth—until that sorry day, at Salamis, when the stalwart Greeks will win. No hint of impending doom comes now, on this night 2,000 years ago. It is a festal night. Beneath the high stars of Iran, the tribesmen and their wives and their near grown daughters gather. A sultry wind keens in from the desert. The flare of far fires comes from bridge and peak. Wailing gives way to shrieking and the earth-mother, Ishtar, has her way with her misguided children.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

From the lives and deaths of these folk has come the most remarkable story yet told of old time. Professor Breasted tells it in the reticence of science. “That such imperial splendor should have burst forth overnight is unthinkable,” he says. “The burning of that chief city by Alexander the Great was a disaster which marked the end of the evolution of oriental cmivilization in western Asia, and the destruction wrought by the conflagration wrecked most of the works of art which made the palaces of Persepolis the great word center of art under the Persian empire that it was.”

DEFICIENCY BILL IS VETOED BY HOOVEB President’s Action Sustained by House Vote. ftp United Press WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.—The house Tuesday night sustained President Herbert Hoover's veto of the $35,000,000 deficiency bill. In less than half an hour after the veto message was read, a vote was taken, and Mr. Hoover was upheld. The vote to override was 193 and to sustain, 158. Two-thirds majority is needed to override a veto. Upon receiving the veto, in which Mr. Hoover expressed “great regret” in returning the measure, Speaker Garner decided to hold the house in session until it could vote on the action. Mr. Hoover took exception to the measure because it contained an amendment providing for passage by a joint congressional committee upon all treasury tax refunds over $20,000. The deficiency bill, smallest supply measure of the year, carried $28,000,000 for tax refunds. It also provided more than $600,000 for relief work in the District of Columbia.
