Mrs. O. A . ' Knight received
word last weekend that her sister, Mrs. Fred Guyon of Deming,
N. M>, had received a broken hip
in a fall at her home there Saturday. The accident happened
just one week after her other
sister, Mrs. J. B. Pruett suffered
a broken hip while in a Big
Spring hospital. Mrs. Guyon, who
is a former Marfa resident, was
taken to Providence Memorial
hospital in El Paso, where she
was to undergo surgery today.
Mrs. Pruett, who underwent
surgery in Big Spring last Wednesday, is said to be getting along
nicely, and Mr. Pruett, who has
been there with her, returned to
Marfa the first of the week.

T A X L A W REVISION NEEDED
One of the most needed pieces oi legislation to come up
in many years is the proposed revision of the income tax laws
—which have just been pkced together with new changes and
odd interpretations lot more than 50 years. Now the administration is attempting to get all those provisions into a
single law, with decisions clarified.
Now that a real attempt has been made to make sense of
the income tax law, many of the inconsistencies and unfair items
which have gotten public disapproval for some time, have
come up and can no longer be pushed aside by legislators
"until next term."
The new bill has been passed in the House—339 to 80,
according to our congressman, ken Regan—and it goes a
long way in correcting some of the faults in the old codes, even
if it doesn't do the job completely.
Overlapping taxes which had no right or reason, are being
wiped out to some extent, with important savings to individuals. Some of the savings include the 10 percent individual
reduction effective the first of this year, excise tax reductions
and so on.
But more important, the new changes begin to make sense
in other ways. There are better provisions for writing off
medical expenses, special deductions for the cost of child care
for widows compelled to work, and fairer tax consideration
for those in retirement. Those things have been needed for a
long time.
And of course, the matter of double taxation on corporation
dividends came. up. Now, stockholders In a big corporation
may see corporate earnings taxed at a very high figure—perhaps 50 percent or more. Yet what is left of those earnings
is taxed again as individual earnings of the person who receives them. It has always seemed to us that once taxed, those
dividends ought to bear no more levies. The new law doesn't
go that far, but it offers definite relief, with an exemption of
$100 a year of taxable income in dividends and a credit on
the remaining income up to 10 percent.
This revision is good, even if not perhaps complete and
perfect vet. We hope that it passes the Senate and gets presidential approval.

How O
FTEN have you heard it said, "IVe paid ail
my bills except the doctors. He can wait"?
Who* we have recovered, the fearful urgency
of that night call is easily forgotten. In answer to
our frantic call, what if the doctor had said, "Oh,
it*s nothing serious. Wait until morning and come
down to the office.'* The chances are ws would agree
to pay double if he would come at once.
Health is not an hem for trade and barter. In fact,
the only Wealth is health. Consider your doctor biS
as your best investment in the continued enjoyment
of life. As planiiedst*, we stand ready to SU your
prescriptions at a moment*! notice.
