Guar meal is a high protein,

Guar meal has been fed to fat-

Tax Questions

wers on federal tax matters is

venue Service and is published
as a public service to the tax-
payers. The column answers ques-
tions most frequently asked by

declared.
less per day, had slightly lower
per day grain and took slightly
more feed to make 100 iiounds ol

costs less - - the steer fed guar
had a lower cost per hundred

tonseed meal.

However, steers on guar had a
net return per head of $13.18 and
the steers on cottonseed meal re-
turned $1351 per head. Conrad
said this is because the increased
per - day grains of the steers
fed cottonseed meal more than
offset the lower cost of guar
meal.
But, according to Conrad, there
was no significant difference in
performance figures of the steers
whether fed guar or cottonseed
meal.
From present indications, guar
meal may provide another source
of protein supplement for growing
and fattening cattle - - and pro-
vide an outlet for a new product.

gin at 7:30 p.m on Thursday.
March 10 will be held in the Fire
Station Auditorium in Yorktown.
Dr. H. H. Payne ol El Campo,
Area Veterinarian for the Texas
Animal Health Commission will be
on hand to discuss the brucellosis
eradication program and answer
qiK'Stions producers have.
A vote will be taken at each
meeting as to the wishes of those
producers attending. If the ma-
jority ol producers vote to join
the program petitions will be cir-
culated in the county, for signatu-
tes, asking the Texas Animal
Health Commission to declare IF1
Witt County a brucellosis control
area.
In order for the program to
take effect petitions must be sign-
ed by 75 percent of the livestock
owners in DeWitt County who own
51 percent or more of the live-
stock rendered on the county's
tax rolls.
Q. I qualify as unmarried head
of household. Which tax table
should I use?
A. 11 your adjusted gross in-
come is less than $5000 and you
do not claim itemized deductions,
use table B on page 13 of the
1010 instruction booklet; otherwise
use Schedule III on page 11.
Q. I retired last year after
.30 years of government service
on a disability pension. Is this
taxable to me? I'm 58 years old.
A. Yes, although a disability
pension received before the nor-
mal retirement age may qualify
for the sic* pay exclusion. Since
US. Civil Service employees may
retire at age 60 with 30 years of
service, your pension qualifies as
sick pay and up to a $100 per
week may lie i xeluded from in-
come. When you reach age 60
your pension will be treated as
an annuity for tax purposes.
Q. Just what do you mean by
gross income ?
A. Any income that the law
specifically does not exempt from
taxation is gross income. For ex-
ample, Social Security pensions
are expressly made tax exempt
by law, and therefore are not
added in when figuring gross in-
come.
Q When you are counting the
waiting [icriod for sick pay, do
you include iho weekends?
A. You count them unless the
illness began on a weekend. Then
you start your waiting period
with the next work day.

partners in a business could file
a joint return with each other?
A No. The partnership will
have to file partnership Form 10-
65, reporting its income and ex-
penses. Each individual partner
has to file his own form 1040,
showing his share of the partner-
ship net income He may, of
course, file his individual return
jointly with his wife.
Q. Do you have to bo married
to claim the child care deduction?
A. No. Women who are single,
married, widowed, or divorred;
as well as men who are widowed,
divorced, legally separated, or
those whose wives are incapa-
citated or institutionalized may
use this provision of the tax law.
If you claim this deduction, use
Form 2441 to compute the amount
of your deduction
Q I am a housewife and have
no .Social Security number. Last
year I received a little money
from my uncle's estate ami open-
ed up a separate account. Do
I need a Social Security number
and do I have to report this in-
come since it is under $600?
A. The law requires you to
have a Social Security number
for tax purposes if yon received
$10 or more in interest from your
account during the year. An
application for a unmber may be
obtained from any Internal Re-
venue Service or Social Security
Office.
Q fs there any deduction at
all for the college tuition costs
I pay for my son?
A Present tax law does not
allow a deduction for this pur-
pose. However, if you borrow
money to pay the tuition you may
deduct the interest charges
Q. Are legal fees in an adop-
tion ease deductible? My husband
and I had a little girl placed with
us last year.

FAMILY LAWYER'"X
--The Case Lincoln Lost--
On a fateful autumn day in In-
diana. in the fourth year of the
Civil War, Union Soldiers entered
the home of Lambdin P. Milligan
and placed him under arrest.
The soldiers were acting on or-
ders of President Abraham Lin-
coln, their commander in chief.
Milligan, suspected of aiding the
Confederate cause, was speedily
found guilty by a military court
and sentenced to be hung.
But nine days before he was to
die, Milligan — invoking the an-
cient writ ol habeas corpus — de-
manded his freedom. He claimed
that, as a civilian, he could not
lawfully be punished by a military
court.
How far may military power
reach in wartime? For a nation
dedicated to individual liberty,
the issue was a wrenching one.
Lincoln himself argued that,
with war convulsing the country,
he was justified in taking drastic
moans to crush disloyalty on the
home front •
But there were weighty points
1<» on the other side of the argu-
ment. Not only was Milligan a
civilian, but he had been arrested
in Indiana — where, at the time,
no hostilities were under way.
Most important, Indiana's civil
courts were still open lor business
ready, willing and able to hear
the charges against Milligan if gi-
ven the chance.
On April 3, 1866, 18 months
after Milligans arrest, the United
States Supreme Court set him
free. Holding that the military
trial was unlawful, the Court
thereby marked our historic limits
licyond which martial authority
mast not go.
Oddly enough, this dec ision con-
demning Lincoln's action was writ
ten by his own devoted friend.
Justice David Davis. Lincoln by
then already dead. Yet it is easy
to imagine that if still alive, with
the awful pressures at war behind
him, he might have applauded
the judge’s words:
“The Constitution 1. a law for
rulers and people, equally in war
and peace, and covers with the
shield of its protection all classes
of men, at all times, and under
all circumstances.”
A Northern editor had this
comment:
“Above the might of the sword,
the majesty of the law is thus
raised supreme.”
It is easy to imagine Lincoln
j himself saying amen.

Hunting Lease Bnsness Reaches
Status Of $13 Million Industry
landowners in Texas leased
their land to hunters for aver
$13 million in 1966, according to
a state summary released by
Wallace Klussmann, Extension
wildlife conservation specialist.
The report, compiled by Kluss-
mann from information supplied
by county agents, said approxi-
mately 21,000 landowners leased
33 million acres for all types of
hunting in ‘65. The income from
hunting lease's was up $1 million
from 1964.
Over sixteen thousand of the
leases were for oeer hunting. The
state average charge lor annual
leases for deer hunting was 46c
an acre. In the Edwards Plateau
area, average charge was 80c
an acre.
For day leases, the state aver-
age return was $1.10 per acre.
Klussmann points out the day
method ol leasing is not I
ily more profitable, since Increa-
sed labor and other coats are
involved.
Waterfowl, quail and dove were
the major contributors to the
wildlife economy. More than
12,000 landowners leased land for
hunting the game birds. Dove
hunting showed the greatest in-
crease in leasing activity. There
was some overlap in deer, dove
and quail leasing, said Kluss-
mann
In 1965 about 3.0C0 private
lakes were leased for fishing.
Total return for the lake owners
was about three quarters of a
million dollars, according to the
report. The average rate for fish-
ing on a daily buses was about
$1 per fisherman. The family
charge for annual fishing leases
varied from $25 to $500.

ART CONTEST
FINALS SUNDAY
The state finals lor the 3rd
annual State Citation Art Exhibi-
tion, sponsored by Governor Con-
nally and the State Democratic
Executive Committee, will be held
in Austin on Sunday, March 13,
from 2 until 5 p.m. on the Mezza-
nine of the DriskiU Hotel.
The Schulenburg City Council
has set up a Housing Authority
and Mayor H. N. Schwartz has
appointed a five - member board.
Myke Klien is chairman ol the
board and E. W. Kaspar, Lewis
Nix, Mrs. Ima Prause, and W.C.
Johnston are members.
The board plans to apply for
150 low - rent housing units un-
der the Federal Housing Act lor
the benefit of low income famil-
ies and the elderly. The cost of
the 150 units would be about
$1.50 Million.
The low rent housing program
was created by Congress in 1937
to enable communities to provide
safe, decent, and sanitary housing
for low - income families who
cannot afford standard private
hoasing.
THE PUBLIC Housing Authori-
ty of the federal government fi-
nances the housing through loans
or guarantees of loans and con-
tributes to the rent payments bas-
t'd on the annual income of the
occupants.
The local authority determines
tlio need, constructs the housing,
and manages it.
Judges’ decision will be an-
nounced about 3 p.m. and it is
ho|>ed the Governor can be on
hand to present the awards, Mrs.
G'trrin Patman, wife of State
Senator Wm. Patman who was
coordinating the event, stated.
A. These legal foes are con-
sidered a personel expense and
are not deductible. A legally ado-
pted child may be claimed as a
dependent, however, il the other
necessary dependency tests arc
mot.
Q. I am self - employed and
don’t need a Social Security num-
ber. Why should I bother to get
one just for my tax return?
A. The law requires that each
taxpayer have a tax account i-
rientifying number. For individual
the S<x*ial Security numbering
system is used.
Besides the penalty you may
to pay for not having a number
on your tax return, no refund
etieek can bo issued without this
identification
Q. 1 had to soil my home at a
loss last year when I was trans-
ferred by my company. Can
deduct my loss?
A. No, the law considers this a
personel expense.
Q. I am 65 hut my wife' is not.
Does that mean all my medical
exposes arc deductible while hers
are subject to three percent li-
mitation ?
A. When one member of a cou-
ple is 65 then all their qualifying
medical expenses become fully
deductible. This means that your
wife’s medical exposes arc fully
deductible just as yours arc.

wore a number of children. The
family credit union was used to
finance the higher education of
its members by the family trea-
sury being administered by the
father.
In Juno, each child in college
signed the interest-bearing note
covering the outlay for the past
academic year. As he was gra-
duated, each began to pay back
into the treasury and at the same
time the younger members were
drawing on it for their education.
As a result, the whole family was
able to have a college education.
Tn subsequent years, the child-
ren have continued to use the
family credit union plan to fin-
ance automobiles, make down
payments on homes, and under-
write graduate educational pro-
grams. Although the children are
scattered across the country, the
plan has continued to serve and
free each member more than it
bound him.
Through the years, the interest
has accrued to the family as a
whole; it is the father’s judge-
ment that the plan has served to
strengthen the continuing relation-
ship within the family. Each
member has, in effect, been en-
Susan | allied to receive more from the
1 family than he put into it

Quickly refrigerate fresh foods.
Frozen foods should be rushed
right into the freezer and held
at zero degrees until used. Food
preparation methods that limit ex
posure time of freshly-peeled or
cut foods to the air, and cooking
methods that prevent loss ol
vitamins and minerals, should be
used. Meat should be cooked in
a manner that prevents shrink-
age. Moderate to low temperature
is usually preferable.
Fryers are the leading feature
in most markets this week though
a number of excellent values are
available on hindquartcr beef cuts
as well as chuck roasts and
steaks, round steak, ground beef
and liver.
Weather has controlled the a-
vailable supply of vegetables for
several weeks. Head lettuce has
improved in supply and quality
though some stores are offering
small heads. Cabbage, Carrots,
dry yellow onions, and turnips
are the most economical choices.
Fresh asparagus has made an
appcarence on some produce
counters but it is high in price - -
a luxury choice that is only fair
quality.
Bananas are one of the key
fruits with many stores featuring
them at bargtn prices. Oranges
continue in heavy supply, while
grapefruit supplies are less and
slightly higher prices are noted.
Temple oranges are just about
finished for this season Apples
grapes and pears are coming
from storage. Fresh strawberries
are on the market, but supplies
are light and prices are high.
