Tax Man Sam Sez
The Internal Revenue aei-
vice computer is a meticulous
machine. If the computer has
to have a schedule or a form
to support some statements it
doesn't hesitate to ask for the
missing documents. The IRS
error report coming from the
computer center in Austin
points out that many North
Texas taxpayers have start-
ed an unwanted correspon-
dence session with the compu-
ter. The computer needed
such forms as Schedule B,
Schedule C, Schedule D, Form
2440, "Statement to Support
Exclusion of Sick Pay," and
Form 3901 "Moving Expense
Adjustment."
Most folks don't like to write
to a computer, so we recom-
mend that you re-check
that tax return. Make sure
that all required supporting
schedules or statements are
attached.
Dear Mrs. Mobley,
In a day and time like this
in our nation, when Ameri-
cans are shaking their heads
and wondering what is wrong
with the "younger genera-
tion," I find it disturbing and
difficult to believe what I see
and hear happening in Cedar
. Hill.
Since I have lived here I
have found the people of Cedar
Hill to be proud of their young
people — proud when an
athletic team wins a game or
a championship—proud when a
young man goes off to serve
his country—proud when a
student graduates from col-
lege—proud when young peo-
ple marry and settle in Cedar
Hill to live and raise their
families.
What happens to this pride
when these young people be-
come adults? I speak in parti-
cular of the young men seek-
ing office in the city govern-
ment. I am not speaking for
them politically.
In the past few days I have
heard rumors, slander, lies
and name calling about these
men that I wouldn't have be-
lieved could happen.
I do not believe that any
man who offers himself for
public office and service in the
city does so far personal gain.
I believe that each of them
has the best interests of his
community at heart.
I don't know who started the
rumors etc. but they are ob-
viously intended as political
weapons and are probably ef-
fective to some extend, for.
fective to some extent, for they
spread quickly in a small
town. How can anyone who
resorts to such tactics feel
that he is honest? And what
makes people use these tac-
tics? Is it fear, jealousy,
or simply the only way they
can make themselves or their
candidate seem better?
I'm told that in the past
the final effort in campaign-
ing in Cedar Hill has been a
Friday night telephone mud-
slinging campaign against the
independent candidates. Poli-
tics is politics, but isn't there
a limit?
Why not give each man an
honest chance? These young
men have chosen to serve a
city that they are interested
in and concerned about. Don't
they deserve some respect and
consideration? I admire them
for seeking office, knowing
what they would probably be
subjected to. But how long
can young men maintain their
interest in the face of such
treatment? Or is that the in-
tention of the organized poli-
ticians?
Yes, I consider these young
men as friends but there are
many older people in this
community whom I also consi-
der friends. We must all live
and work together for the best
interests of our city, so let's
be fair and considerate and
work honestly for whatever
political candidate we choose
to support.
