Social Security; U. S. Differs
By United Press WASHINGTON, Mar. 15 —The Treasury Department had news today for that lady editor in Summit, Miss., who says she won't pay
her social security taxes. Revenue agents are headed
her way. Mrs. Mary D. Cain, editor of the weekly Summit Sun,
wrote an open letter to Secre tary of Treasury John W, Snyder the other day denounce ing social security as illegal and immoral. She said she could take care of her own old age —when it arrives. Mrs. Cain said she wouldn't pay the taxes for herself or deduct them from her employees’ wages. And what was Mr, Snyder going to do about it? “Shades of Vivian Kellems,” Mr. Snyder muttered, or something like that. What he meant was that this wasn't the first time in his memory that a woman has tried to start a taxpayers’ rebellion.
» ~ ~ MRS. KELLEMS, a Connecticut manufacturer, gave Mr,
Snyder quite a headache about a year ago by rfeusing to collect withholding taxes from her employees. 8he said she wasn't working for the Treasury and Mr. Sndyer could do his own tax collecting.
MRS. CAIN—'Pop your whip, Mr. Snyder, | am ready.’
Mr. Snyder had to take her to court, but he got his taxes. And Mrs, Kellems collects them for him now, 8he wasn't fined or sent to jail because she wasn't trying to evade payment. Treasury spokesman said Mrs. Cain- may not be so lucky if she insists on challenging the tax law, They said revenue agents will be in to see her as soon as they look over her income tax return, which is due in the Jackson,
Miss, collector's office by midnight Monday, if she hasn't already filed. . ” ” MRS. CAIN, being her own boss, is supposed

own social security taxes via |
the self-employment tax, which
she has to pay along with her |
regular income tax. Like other employers, she also is required to deduct social security taxes from her employees’ wages each pay day and to send the money to the Internal Revenue Bureau at the end of each quarter. Her next such payment is due Mar. 31, and the bureau said it will keep an eye out for it. The bureau said ‘several’ persons -besides Mrs. Cain have refused to pay the social security taxes. It would not identify them, but they're in the same hoat with the fiery lady from Summit, who wound up her open letter like this: “I've had enough of the New Deal. I'm sick of the whole Truman administration. Pop your whip, Mr. Snyder, I am ready.” Willful failure to file a return and pay the taxes is a misdemeanor, punishable fines up to $10,000 or one year in jail, or both. And a willful attempt to evade or defeat the tax laws could cost the offender a maximum of
fine,
five years In jail, plus a $10,000 |
