WASHINGTON, June 11-
The machinery for collecting 30
percent- after exemptions—from
the wages and salaries of all Income
tax payers beginning next month
was set in motion today by the
Treasury.
Immediately after President
Roosevelt signed the pay-as-you-
go tax bill late Thursday orders
were flashed to internal revenue
collectors throughout the country
releasing millions of forms and in-
struction sheets for employers, who
become the government's collection
agents .
The forms had been prepared
during the latter part of the

months-long congressional battle
over the measure.
Although the legislation be-
comes effective July 1. Its with-
holding provisions will not be
felt by the majority of tax-
payers until July 8 or later-
July 10 for most people on a
weekly wage basis.
This is because of a provision ap-
plying the 20 percent withholding
levy to payroll periods which be-
gin on or after July 1. Thus the
first weekly payroll period in July
from which reduction could be
made would end on July 8.
NEW TAXES MAPPED
The Treasury is reported to have
prepared a comprehensive program
of new levies to meet Mr. Roose-
velt's request for an additional
$16,000,000,000 in taxes and savings
to help finance the war.
. The Treasury proposals, said to
have been presented to James F.
Byrnes, war mobilisation director,
include suggestions for a spendings
tax, new excise levies and higher
individual and corporation income
taxes.
The new pay-as-you-go law
grants a 75 to 100 percent
abatement on either 1942 or
1943 taxes, whichever are lew
er.

tax liabilities.
The 100 percent abatement ap-
plies only to those whose tax lia-
bility is $50 or less. For those
whose abatement year tax bill is
between 850 and $66.67, a flat 850
abatement is granted, and for those
whose abatement year biU is over
$66,67, an abatement of 75 percent
is granted.
The remaining 25 percent must be
paid, 12 1-2 percent next March 15
and 12 1-2 percent March 15, 1945.
INSTRUCTIONS ISSUED
Among the Instructions issued by
the Treasury is one requiring all
employers who withhold a total of
more than $100 from their employ-
es' wages in any one month to
turn the withholdings over to a
Treasury depositary by the 10th of
the following month.
In addition, employers must file
quarterly returns with the internal
revenue collector of their district
reporting the aggregate amount of
taxes withheld for the quarter.
At the end of the year they must
provide each employe with a state-
ment showing the amount of taxes
"Unless given proper attention,
motor vehicles deteriorate from
non-use as well as from active op-
eration,” Fred Hughes, local Dodge-
Plymouth dealer, is advising local
automobile owners.
His advice was delivered after a
meeting attended by Hughes last
week with factory executives. It
was described as designed to devise
methods for increasing and improv-
ing Dodge dealer service facilities
and of re-emphasizing to Dodge
owners the growing importance of
proper car and truck maintenance
as the war continues.
"No one knows just how long this
war is going to last," Hughes said
"There just isn't any getting away
from the fact that the cars and
trucks now in owners' hands must
carry on for the duration, and it
is important that all these cars and
trucks be maintained at top operat-
ing efficiency throughout their use-
ful life."—
Observing that a primary func-
tion of his firm was to render
necessary wartime service, classified
as essential by the government,
Hughes added that replacement
parts are readily available for
Dodge and Plymouth cars, and
Dodges trucks. He cautioned some
owners against "slighting" their ve-
hicles on the assumption that parte
could not be obtained.
Another factor that will result In
needless deterioration, Hughes said.
Is the opinion held by some that
because automobiles are used less,
they require less service.

Mrs Ralph Fuller, 1134 Lilius street.

cautioned, "It requires much more
attention than simply to be jacked
up on blocks, and perhaps covered.
The same principle applies when
cars are driven only every few
days, Instead of daily, or when their
regular average mileage or speed is
drastically curtailed. Engine oil con-
geals, and is diluted through con-
densation. Rust, grime and dirt
work fast when motor vehicles are
not used. Tires require more fre-
quent checking, and tires are a very
vulnerable point in our wartime
armor."
