Wash Inst-mi. The administration
sent to the capitol an estimate that!
less than a million persons would
he eligible for rid pensions and
that the total cost to the states would
be about 111 millions annually. Seme
congressmen have estimated the pen
sion plan would cost around ?45,
00 0,0 CO yearly.
The table drawn up by the eco
nomic security committee, was based
on the number of persons above C5
who are receiving relief in the
states, plus these who are getting old
ago pensions in states that have pen
sion systems.

house ways and means committee,
after weeks of hearings, was settling
down to consideration of the measure
in executive session preparatory to a
revamping for bringing it before the
liou.-
Only democratic members of
the committee took part in the dis
cussions. The committee's figures showed
736,342 persons above Co on federal
relief rolls, plus 179,357 who are re
ceiving old age pensions from the
twenty-one states in which the laws
are in effect. Laws have been passed
in seven other states but are not yet
in effect.
Census figures for 1930 showed 6,
34,000 persons in the country over
Go. Some witnesses before the con
gressional committee have estimated
half of these would be eligible for
pensions. Some memLers of congress

to the states would be around a half
billion dollars.

E. Witte, executive director of
the economic security committee
which worked cut the plan for Pres
ident Roosevelt, said that while half
of the persons over Go did not have
means of their own for support, the

was contemplated this would continue.

Plan Compliance Wheat Irogram.
The change in the 1335 corn-hog
contract which does away with corn
contracted acres has no eiTect upon
the wheat contract which is still in
fcrcc. The wheat contract which
was signed in the fall of 1333 was
a two-year contract and applies to
wheat which was seeded in the fall
of 1D33 and the fall of 1934 for the
harvest of 19 34 and 193 5. In each
cf tnese years the wheat contract
rigner has agreed to lay out a cer
tain per cent cf wheat land as con- isbes.

more persons who are ciosely connect-;
ed with him by blood relationship, re
lationship by marriage, or by adop
tion, and whose right to exercise
family control and provide for these
dependent individuals is based upon
some moral or legal obligation." The
exemption allowed a head of a family
is 52,500. The phrase "in one house
hold" may be interpreted as meaning
the taxpayer's personal residence, an
apartment, rooms in
house, etc.
Under certain circumstances it is j
not necessary that the taxpayer and
his dependents live under one roof
during the entire taxable year in
order that the taxpayer may claim
the exemption. If, the common home
being maintained, the parent is away
on business, or a ohild away at school
or on a visit, the exemption is allow
ed. Moreover, if a parent is obliged
to maintain his dependent children
with relatives or in a bearding house,
while he lives elsewhere, the exemp
tion still applies. If, however, with
out necessity, the dependent makes
his heme elsewhere, the benefactor
is not the head cf a family.
The same ruling applies to husband
and wife "living together." If occa
sionally and temporarily the husband
is away en business or the wile cn a
visit, tha common heme being main
tained, tha J2.500 exception still
urpi-es. The unavoidable absence of
husband or wife at a sanatorium dees
not preclude the exemption. But if
the husband continuously makes his
home at one place and the wife at
another, they are not living together
within the meaning cf the revenue
act.
