‘PAY AS YOU GO’  PLAN  FOR 
TAXES IS NOW  IN  EFFECT
    After July 1, most wage
earners in the United States
will pay Federal income
taxes on a "pay as you go"
basis in accordance with a
recent Act of Congress.
   On all money earned each
week  employers will deduct
20 per cent for taxes after
allowances for personal
and  dependent exemptions
have been made.
   The amount of wages, not
subject to deductions are:
single persons ($12 a week);
married persons,where hus-
band or wife claims the
total allowance ($24 a
week).   An additional exem-
ption is made for each de-
pendent of $6 a week.
   It is quite possible
that the amount withheld
from the individua1's pay
will not be exactly, to
the penny, 20 per cent of
the pay above his withhold-
ing exemption. This is
because the law allows em-
ployers to withhold the tax
in accordance with "wage
bracket table." For exam-
ple, in the case of married
employees with three de-
pendents,whose weekly wage
is anywhere between 40 and
60 dollars, the employer
is authorized to withhold
a flat amount of $2.60 per
week, instead of requiring
him to  figure, the exact
amount for each individual
employee.
   Agricultural workers and
persons employed in domes-
tic service in a private
home are not subject to
the wage deductions but
this does not excuse them
from paying income taxes.
They are required.to file
an income tax return as in
the past.
   Further information and
advice on the new tax law
is available to center res-
idents through the Project
Attorney's office.

entrusted to the newly
