15° Cooler!
Kaiser Aluminum Shade Screening
has thin louvres set at an angle against
the sun. Thus they deflect the rays—
and the heat—away from the window
. . . without bio eking your view!
Result: Your sunniest rooms are
shaded, yet are light and airy. And
they’re as much as 1J° cooler!
What’s more, interiors are pro-
tected against fading or deterioration
due to hot sunlight. Pesky flying in-
sects cannot enter.
And because Kaiser Aluminum
Shade Screening is rustproof, it can-
not stain frames or exterior walls.
Made of tough, top-quality alumi-
num, it can’t wear out, need never be
painted. And it adds extra beauty to
any window!
Comes in frames to fit your windows
... easily installed... low in cost.

of GI entitlement. I’ve been figuring
out the number of days I lost because
of regular school holidays, illness and
other absences from class. Could I
refund my subsistence pay to VA for
those days, and thereby add on to my
entitlement?
A.—No. Subsistence paid during
regular absences may not be “bought
back” for the purpose of adding to
your entitlement. End-of-term ex-
tensions of training, on the other
hand, may be repurchased.
Q.—I’m taking a correspondence
course under the World War II GI
Bill, and my entitlement will expire
when I’m only two-thirds of the way
through. Will I be permitted to con-
tinue the course anyhow?
A.—So long as you’ve completed a
major number of lessons at the time
your entitlement expires, you will be
allowed to finish the correspondence
course. However, this extension is
limited to the number of lessons that
$125 will buy.
A Smile or Two
A man who’d been browsing in an

“That’s fine,” said the salesman.

that made you decide to buy our
car?”

“My wife!”
Veteran Questions
And Answers
Q.—I’m going to night school un-
der the World War II GI Bill. I’ll
have to stop training for' a while be-
cause my employer wants me to make
an emergency two-month trip to an-
other city. This is the first time I’ve
had to travel on the job. Will I be
allowed to continue with my GI Bill
schooling after I return?
A.—Yes, provided you resume your
course within 30 days after you re-
turn, or at the first time enrollment
is permitted, whichever is later.
Q.—I’m a disabled Korean veteran
in training under Public Law 16. VA
recently gave me a physical exami-
nation and reduced my service-con-
nected disability rating to zero—
which means I no longer will draw
compensation pay. What about my
Public Law 16 training? Will I have
to quit that, too?
A.—No. So long as you already
were in training when your disabil-
ity was rated as noncompensable, you
will be permitted to go ahead with
your Public Law 16 training until you
attain your objective.
Q.—I’m in college under the World
War II GI Bill, and I’m running out

INCOME TAX HAS
COME LONG WAY
IN ITS 40 YEARS
Lester Hoile Seed & Grain
Over 38 Years Service to the Farmers of
Whitewright and Community
WASHINGTON.—Oh, for the good
old days when there was no income
tax. Or at worst it was nothing much
to sneeze at.
The good old days are pre-1913, for
that’s the year the Constitution ac-
quired amendment No. 16:
“The Congress shall have power to
lay and collect 1
from whatever source derived. . .”
The supreme law of the land is the
granddaddy of your present income
tax.
And you can be politically impar-
tial with your hard feelings; the
amendment was officially proposed
in 1909 by President Taft, Republi-
can. It was first put into practice
four years later by President Wilson,
Democrat.
There were some temporary try-
outs of nation-wide income levies be-
fore that. During Civil War days
Congress enacted several versions of
an income tax. The toughest one
pushed the top rate to 10 percent.
The Civil War tax was highly re-
garded from the revenue standpoint,
but not by the citizenry. It w^nt off
the books soon after the war.
Small Check
Said the rich and single aunt to
her nephew: “I’m sorry you don’t like
your gift but I asked you if you pre-
ferred a large check or a small one.”
Replied the ungrateful nephew:
“True enough, but I didn’t know you.
were talking about neckties.”
Then, after much clamor about an.
income tax being fairer than other
types, Congress tried again in 1894..
The rate: 2 percent.
The experiment was short lived.
The Supreme Court struck down the
law the next year as unconstitution-
al. That’s why the 16th amendment
was adopted.
On March 1, 1914, the first dead-
line under the permanent law, and.
for some years thereafter, the tax-
payer took much less of a beating
than he does in this expensive age.
His first bill was 1 percent up to
$20,000, 2 percent for $20,000-$50,000,
and so forth up to 7 percent peak on
taxes on incomes, incomes of $500,000 or more. He got
nrep dpriwod ” a personai exemption of $3,000, or
$4,000 if he was living with his
spouse.
Tax scales went up and down in
later years, mostly up, especially in
wartime.
So the form you filled out for 1953
puts the bottom rate at 22 percent..
For the $200,000 bracket and up it’s
92 percent. Exemptions are down to
$600.
Now, if it were the year 1912 . . .
