LAWBREAKERS ARE PUNISHED
WHEN DETECTED
Dear Commissioner Nabers,
What happens to an employer
who does not pay or withhold
proper taxes? I know pf a
business thaupmploys a men-
tally retarde/ man and pays
him cash, if is unlikely that
they would continue to employ
him if they had to pay mini-
mum wage or get involved
with tax matters.
— E.V.
Alvin, Tx.
Dear E.V., The employer to
whom you refer is breaking the
law, but as is the case with all
laws which are broken, nothing
will happen until someone with
tax enforcement authority at
the state or federal level finds
out about the situation. Then
the employer would be subject
to the same penalties as any-
one else who does not pay
their taxes, including back
taxes, penalties, and interest.
COMMISSIONER

TEXAS BUSINESS TODAY
This employer is simply tak-
ing a chance that a friend or
family member of the employee(
will not report the situation to
the IRS of the TEC. Mean-
while the employee in question
is being wrongfully deprived of
the legally mandated minimum
wage as well as of participa-
tion in the social security and
unemployment insurance
systems.
Dear Commission Nabers. Is
the taxable wage base for
unemployment insurance going
up again in 1990? It has
increased $1000 a year for the
last two years and I heard it
might go up again.
— P.W.
Victoria. Tx.
Dear P.W., NO! The taxable
wage base will remain at
$9000. The increases you men-
tioned were mandated by 1987
legislation which raised the
wage base from $7000 to
$9000 over two years.

mealybugs, aphids and scale
insects.
* When possible, plant pest
I resistant plant varieties.
I * Prune out any pest hot spots
as soon as they appear.
Pesticides that work in the
| garden also work indoors, but
take care. In a warm, humid,
| enclosed space like a green-
house, it makes sense to try to
minimize or eliminate the use of
conventional pesticides. A good
way to do that is with insectici-
| dal soaps, whose sprays are
toxic to insects but not to
people or pets.
Another inportant difference
J between conventional pesti
cides and insecticidal soaps is
| that .soaps don't have the
long-lasting residual effects of
more toxic chemicals. As a
result, more frequent applica-
tions of the soap spray may be
necessary.
Of course, before you use any
pest-control measure, be sure
that the insects you see are
actually pests and not beggficial
insects that you want to en
courage in winter over in your
greenhouse.

Diamond Coating
'A diamond’s greatest value is
not found in a necklace or ring,
according to a UCLA research
team which has developed a new
process for depositing a very
smooth, transparent diamond
film on a variety of surfaces at
far lower temperatures than"
existing processes.
This developmdht has the po-
tential for revolutionizing the
electronics, optical and com-»
munications industries.
The UCLA team has created
a smooth, non-faceted film with
new applications as a protective
coating for electronic devices in
space, optical components, and
solar cells. In addition, diamond
coatings should drastically reduce
friction and wear on industrial
equipment, cutting tools and high
density computer discs.
