Income Tax
Questions
& Answers
This column of questions
and answers on Federal tax
matters is provided by the U.
S. Internal Revenue Service
and is published as a public
service to taxpayers. The col-
umn answers questions most
frequently asked by taxpay-
ers. Q What records do I need
to support a deduction for a
theft loss?
A Your records should
show the date theft was dis-
covered the cost basis and
fair market value of the stolen
property the amount of the in-
crease or any compensation re-
ceived or recoverable and
proof of your ownership. You
must also be able to establish
that the property was actual-
ly stolen and not lost or mis-
laid. The amount of each theft
loss of nonbusiness property is
deductible to the extent it ex-
ceeds $100. The loss must bo
reduced by insurance or other
compensation received.
Q If my son goes to work
for me should I treat him as
my other employees for with-
holding purposes?
A Yes his salary is sub-
ject to the same withholding
requirements as your other
employees if he is 21 or over.
If he is under 21 do not with
hold Social Security taxes but
do withhold income tax.
The salary you pay your son
can be treated as a business
expense to the extent it is what
you would pay a person not
related to you for performing
the same services.
Q Can you lose your tax
deduction for a business trip
overseas if you take a vacation
at the same time.
A It is possible for your
deduction to be less on a com-
bine business and pleasure trip
overseas.
Under certain circumstan-
ces the cost of travel includ-
ing meals and lodging to the
place of business meeting and
back to the taxpayer's home
will not be allowed in full as
a business deduction because
those expenditures would be al-
located between the business
and vacation portions of the
trip.
Rules for handling business
deductions in these circum-
stances are explained in Pub-
lication No. 468 "Travel En-
tertainment and Gift Expen-
ses" available free at all HIS
offices.

AUSTIN Legislators hit
the ground running in their
unwanter special session on fi-
nance. Gov. Preston Smith was
ready for them on opening day
(July 28) with tax recommen-
dations which included a one
half of one per cent boost (to
3.5 per cent) in the sales tax.
He also suggested raising the
car sales tax to 3.5 per cent
raising the cigarette tax three
cents a pack and the corpora-
tion franchise tax 50 cents per
$1000 (to $3.25) on a tempor-
ary two-year basis.
By the end of the first week
both houses had passed approp-
riations bills and by the start
of the second a 10-member
House-Senate conference com-
mittee was busy trying to work
out differences.
Senate recommended more
than $100 million more in
spending than the House ver-
sion. House members thought
$5749 billion for the biennium
was plenty but senators fig-
ured $5852 billion was needed.
General revenue amounts to
$1188 billion in the House bill
$1230 billion in the Senate
measure.
House would require at least
$286 million in new revenue.

CONGRESSMAN
Senate about $328 million. Nei-
ther figure included the $30
million in additional public wel-
fare spending proposed in the
constitutional amendment on
the August 5th ballot.
Speaker Gus Mutscher indi-
cated he hoped for House agree-
ment by the end of the second
week on a tax bill to cover the
budget which he said would be
close to that recommended by
the governor.
But such a bill stands little
"hnnce in the Senate at least in
the near future.
GAS RATES Texas Rail-
road Commission has taken
under advisement a request of
Lone Star Gas Company for a
raise in gas rates sold to local
systems in 512 Texas cities.
Representatives of the cities
were at the hearing to oppose
the proposed 9.4 cents per
thousand cubic feet of eras rniso.
Richard Aughenbaugh Fort
vvortn city public utilities su-
pervisor said the cities felt
that an increase of no more
than 2.77 cents to six cents
would be in order preferably
3.44 cents.
A decision will be reached
by the commission sometime
after a minimum waiting period
of 30 days.

Russell McKay and Terry Tid-
well of Granger have Returned
from Camp Hoblitzelle at Wax-ahachie.
Mrs. W. W. Dugger of Tem-
ple was a recent visitor of Mr.
and Mrs. George Mastrovich.
Mrs. Melvyn Carpenter and
children of Granger visited hero
during the week-end with Mr.
and Mrs. D. F. Sherwood. Gary
Carpenter returned home with
his family after a two weeks
visit here with his grandparents.
Dear Friends :
This week has been one of ac-
tion. I reurned from a quick
visit to the international live-
stock show at Buenos Aires
Monday morning. Monday was
District Day that is the
House sat as a City Council for
the City of Washington. I did
not get a chance to run by home
until night. I found our base-
ment flooded. We had almost
four inches of rain which I
wish could have fallen in Cen-
tral Texas.
On Tuesday the Agriculture
Committee heard the represen-
tatives of the Grange on farm
and food stamp legislation. It
is hard for any of these groups
to understand why we can't
simply draw up a bill which
would establish fair prices and
move it right on through Con-
gress. Actually we must not
only have a bill which will be
helpful but we must have a bill
which can be passed and that
means we must find a solution
which is acceptable to a lot of
different groups.
On Wednesday our Commit-
te heard the representatives of
about 400 farmers from Illinois
and Indiana who had driven
tractors into Washington. You
probably raid of their visit.
They were courteous well-behaved
and had given considera-
ble thought to their suggestions.
AH of this was in sharp contrast
with the attitude of some of the
groups who "march on Wash-
ington" to demand various
types of assistance.
For the past three days the
House has been working on the
Education and Welfare Appro-
priation Bill. This involves far
more money than the agricul-
tural appropriations but it also
has more support in Congress.
BOB POAGE
The Appropriations Committee
brought out a bill which would
nave seriously curtailed the
funds for "impacted areas." The
ITonsn rnstnrivl nil nf fhrsp
funds and added about one-half
billion dollars of other funds for
various purposes. I think we
probably went too far but I
voted for the blanket increase
as the whole matter was so tied
together that we could not be
selective and I thought such
programs as impacted areas li-
braries etc. were deserving.
We had three roll calls last
night and it was after 9:00
o'clock when we finally passed
the bill.

I plan to be at Rosebud a
week from tonight to attend
the annual membership meeting
of the Bel-Falls Electric Coop-
erative and to be in Riesel
Sunday night August 10th. I
will however have to return to
Washington that night as we
hope to act on a tax "reform"
bill before the congressional re-
cess which will begin August
14th. I will then be at home for
a couple of weeks. Our office at
205 Federal Building Waco will
be open full time and of course
I will be happy to personally
see everyone I can but I will of
necessity be attending meetings
all over the District and will
therefore ask that those who
have problems with which you
feel we could help to either
write us at Washington or talk
to some member of our stuff
who is in the Waco office.
